His father was the Rev. Thomas Madden, whose parents were from the County Meath, Ireland, ard who had settled in Cambridge, N.Y. Thomas Madden was born there in 1780 axd was afterwards ordained to the ministery by Bishop Ashpury at New York in 1802, Kut being of strong loyalist sentiments, the family moved to Canada, and Thomas preferred to serve the church here, and so in the land of his adoption and under the flag of his forefathers he lived and labored, and died in the triumphs of Christin faith at his home in Agusta, in May, 1834. Meanwhile David B., who, by the way was the only son of the Rev. Thomas Madden, had gone to the. meghbor- ing town of Brockville, and had entered upon what promised to be a business career, While energetically engaged in business during the week, he found time subject to the action of the Transfer Committee. Mr. McCamus has been a faithful and earnest pastor and has with dignity and ability filled the arduous duties of his posi- tion. A unanimous call has been given by the Cobourg Methodist Church to the Rev. Jabez Sanders, of the Dundas Centre church, London, to become their pastor. We learn that he has consented, subject to the action of the Transfer Committee. Strong in Debate. Strength of mind and graces of mon word far beyond the average were revealed in the speech of R. L.

Coyle the new pastor of the Central Pres- byterian church, submitted his re signation yesterday morning at the close of his sermon. He told his congregation he declined to be placed in the position of counte nancing the iniquities of fashionable life while he found that the laboring men and women did not come to churéh because many of his church members were cold to the thought of drawing in this class of people and drew aside their skirts from any such contact. In leaving Denver, Dr. Coyle gives up a salary of $5,000. Now the Queen is dead, Francis Joseph, of Austria, holds the record for the longest reign in Europe He has been on the throne more than fifty-two years, and is in the seventy first year of his life.

He grew weak and listless had no appetite. and for two years was unable to work and was for the most of the time confined to the house. and for a rt of the time . to his bed. He suffered considerably from pains in the back; his legs were weak ; and he had fre | quent headaches.
