LARGS. The new Anglican Church at Largs was dedicated yesterday afternoon by the Vicar-General of the Diocese of New Castle, the Ven. Archdeacon Woodd. It replaces an old, stone building erected in 1862, when the Rev. John A. Greaves was rector of the parish of East Maitland. He followed the pioneer minister the Rev. G. K. Rusden, who was rector from 1834 to 1859; and the late Archdeacon Tyrrell succeeded the Rev; J. A .Greaves in 1863, and, remained rector for forty years. He was rector when St Andrew s was opened in 1863. All of the old cedar fittings of the old church have been retained in the new building.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. (To the Editor of the Maitland Mercury.) SIR,-The enclosed copy of extract from a letter from a valued friend of and to many of your readers at Muswellbrook and other parts of the Hunter, will be read with saddened pleasure. I hope you may be able to publish it on Saturday next and send me a copy. The Rev. John Albert Greaves was Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle, Examining Chaplain to Bishop Tyrrell, and successively in- cumbent of Muswellbrook, East Maitland, and Wollombi, an Oxford M.A. ; and after about 10 years work in the diocese of Newcastle, held livings in Virginia, United States, America, and in England, and passed away as detailed in the letter, being Rector of Great Leghs, near Chelmsford, Essex, in England. An earnest and faithful parish priest, a loving and loveable man-a true winner of souls.-Yours, truly, _ COLES CHILD. James-street, Petersham, July 13th, 1893. Cloford, Princess Road, Bournemouth West, June 8,1893. My Dear C-, I must begin with very sad news, which perhaps you may have received from some other correspondent. Our dear friend Greaves died suddenly on June 1st. Mr. Marshall, late of Murrurundi, wrote to inform me of the sad event. Mr. Greaves had, with his wife, been spending a fortnight in Oxfordshire, while Mr. Marshall had been taking his duty during his absence. Mr. M. met them in London, and came down with them to Hatfield Peverell, the nearest station to Great Leghs. Mr. G. complained of feeling unwell when he got out of the train. He got into his vehicle, and immediately Mr. M. saw his head fall back ; he gasped for breath, gave a sigh, and all was over. They took him into the station and sent his man for the nearest doctor, who, on arrival, said the cause of death was enlargement of the heart. Poor Mrs. Greaves, after the first stunning blow, was very calm and resigned. . Probably I shall hear no more of our departed brother ; but I shall always remember how ready he was to undertake an un- promising work in Our Master s service. His choice of Billingboro in Lincolnshire, was pre-eminently of that description.-Yours affectionately, R. GEORGE BOODLE.
