REMINGTON CHURCH CASE.

The appeal taken by the Presbyterian church of Remington and members of its board of trustees from a judgment for unpaid salary recovered by its former pastor Jacob Dyke, was dismissed by the Appellate Court last Friday. This will have the effect of comSlling payment of the judgment. r. Dyke’s contention was that he had been engaged for a year, and said he told the cbnrch authorities plainly that he would not leave his church in New Jersey for a shorter engagement. The trustees of the church contended that he was only a “supply” pastor, and he was dischargea at the end of six months. His judgment covering the remaining half year’s salary, was recovered in the circuit oourt here for $350, Rev. Dyke is now pastor of a church some place in New York state, we understand.
