Bishop Bidwell Has Appointed Rev. V. O. Boyle as Rector. Bishop BNiwell has appointed Rev. V. O. Boyle, M.A., as rector of Well- ington. Mr. Boyle, who has been an assistant at St. George's Cathedral, is to be married on June 6th. It is learned with deep regret by his many friends at the cathedral of his severing hig connection. When Dean Starr was interviewed by the Whig Friday morning he spoke in wamnn appreciation of Mr. Boyle's services, and deeply regret- ted that he found it necessary for him to leave. However, with the Scarcity of clergy in the diocese he felt that it was only right that he should place no obstruction in his way. Mr. Boyle will preach for the last time on Sunday evening in St. George's Cathedral.
