Since the foregoing was in type, we have met with the following obituary notice of the Rev. Johannes Theodorus Polhemus, the first pastor of the Reformed Dutch Churches of Flatbush, Brooklyn and Flatlands. It is extracted from the records of the Church Brooklyn.

"It has pleased the Almighty God, to remove from this world of care and trouble, our worthy and beloved pastor, Johannes Polhemus, to the abode of peace and happiness in his heavenly kingdom: by which, our Church is deprived of his pious instructions, godly example and evangelical ministrations, particularly in the administration of the holy sacrament of the Lord's Supper."
