 Presiding Elder Richard of this city officlated at the Great Hill church, Seymour, yesterday and held the sec pnd and third conferences there of the season.
 Rye. Mr. Haynes preached yester- day morning regarding the Psalmists expression of desire to flee away from humanity to some solitary place md the burden of the sermon was hat right here in the cities there is enough for the Christian workers to do instead of hieing away to some lonely place.
 At the special musical service at the Trinity church, Temple street, Signor Gambardella, the young tenor soloist, was heard in Randegger's aria Save Me, o God" and it is the. gener- al opinion that he has not been heard to greater advantage in this city. The aria was particularly well given last evening, and is especially adapted to Signor Gambardellas voice. He will not be heard again in this city as he sails very shortly for England, where he will join the Royal Opera company at Covent Garden. The work of the choir under Mrs. Harry Read was re- markable, unusually fine, considering the fact that they sang at morning service and at the Y. M. c, A. in the afternoon.
