Revival in Portsmouth, Ohio. Interfiling Letter ..
Last Sabbath (3d inst.) was a daylong to be remem
bered in our church. Twenty-seven were publicly
received to our communion, twenty-five of them re
cent converts, one restored, and one by certificate.
Of the twenty-five more than half wereyottny men. i
One agdd manivas'hniong them over 65'years of age,.
w.ho ha* long rested in his. morality. He,was a
“ child of the covenant,” his mother and grandmother
wpre believers, and he had a- praying wife. She sent
itf the 1 first request for grayer, read at our union
prayer, meetings,, and.jier; request has been answered
in the hopeful conversion of her husband. Over 70'
have oome,-forward-or .risen, up for prayers in our
church, and oVer'6o'of theSe are hoping in Christ
with grater or less-, confidence and evidence of ac
ceptance. . ■i , . 1
■ The Lord has fulfilled his promise to me wonder-
As thy. days, so- shall thy strength be." I
have been constantly in a revival for two-months and
a half, ono week at Hanging-Bock, five weeks at
Athens, and five here, and preached more than an
average of Qne sermon a day, besides talking to anx
ious souls; and praying and visiting from house to
house, and bearing a heavy burden'of responsibility
upon my shoulders, especially in ,>my own church.
But I have tried to oast my burden upon the Lord,
and he has sustained me. To his great name be all
the glory and praise forever.
Our union prayer meetings are increasing in in
terest and numbers from day to day. We meet at
a quarter before -8, every morning, and hold -three,
quarters of an hour. This morning our large lecture
room was filled to-overflowing, after taking in all the
chairs and settees we could into the aisles. There
muet have been between three and four hundred
persons present, and the animated songs of praise,
and the fervent prayers, and the glowing words of
exhortation, andthe deep, solemn and tearful atten
tion, showed that the Lord was in this place. Al
most all olasses of persons attend. To-morrow
morning we are to meet in our large audience room,
whioh will eeat GOO. Our Episcopal. Methodist, and i
Baptist brethren join cordially in the meetings. We
have had prominently brought before us the hand of
God in the late Btorm. in addresses from all the
ministers, and in the prayers. We all felt un
less God, by bis Spirit should sanetify this affliction;
that no permanent results for - good would follow.
We hope, in answer to prayer, that he has made it
a-blessing to many souls.- E. P. P.

ing of the Presbytery of Chemung, was held at Havana;
24. Y., on the I2th insti 'Rev. F.S. Howe was chosen
Moderator, and Rev. S.’Ms Defy, Clerk.
Attention was given to; the usual round of Presby
terial business. The reports from the churches indi
cated a fair degree of prosperity among them. The
subject of Church Extension, and the recent action of
the General Assembly in regard thereto, were matters
of marked interest to the brethren. A; resolution was
adoptetLcommending the mattpr.of Chinch Extension
to the eburches. i , , 7- . -
Mr. Charles M'lntyre was received .under, .the
of the Presbytery; and after due examinatiop, Was
licensed to preach, ■ ■ ■* ■
A stronger denominational interest is, manifestly,
steadily developing among the ministers aiid churches.
A cordial sympathy with the missionaries and feeble
congregations of our churches, in their labors and self
denials, is having evident growth. The catechism is
being more extensively studied and taught, either in
the Sabbath schools, or in addition-to Sabbath school
instruction. ■ ’ r ’’

Montrose Presbyterian Church. —Corner-stone
or a HEW building laid.— On last Tuesday the corner
stone of a new church edifice for the Presbyterian
church of Montrose, Susquehanna Co., Pa., was laid
with due ceremonies. The old building which had
stood for many years, had become too strait, and in
other respects inconvenient for this growing and pros
perous congregation, Rev. H. A. Riley, the worthy
pastor of the church, presided.’ In, his opening re
marks be alluded with great tenderness to the frequent
revivals enjoyed in the old building, and of ( the many
who instructed there, who were now worshipping
in the Upper sanctnary. At the closeof his remarks,
the whole congregation sung the psalm beginning,
“ Behold the sure Foundation-stone
Wfiieh Ged in Zion lays.” -
The pastor read several passages of Scripture, suited
to the occasion, and the congregation wUs led in prayer
by one of the ministers of the town. Judge Jessup,
who is an Elder of the church, made ati impressive
address. He referred, with .deep emotion to the laying
of the corner-stone of the old building,, which, he
witnessed in his youth, and of the amazing change that
had taken place in the town and church since that
period. He also spoke at length of the value of the
institutions of religion to the temporal prosperity of the
community. : ■ -
The.pastor then prepared the box for being deposited
in the corner-stone —placing in it the Bible, the Con
fession of Faith, the Hymn Book, and some tracts
published by the Publication Committee of General
Assembly.. Three plates'were also put in the box—
one taken from the corner-stone of the old bnilding, and
two others containing the names of the pastor, Elders,
Deacons, Trustees, and building Committee, together
with a list of all the present members. A copy of the
American Presbyterian and the New York Evangelist
wjth other documents, were also placed.in it. Rev. R,
Adair being present, at the request of the pastor,
made a lew remarks, and the exercises were closed by
the singing of the doxologyj
The day Was remarkably pleasant, and the audience
large and interested. The structure which is being
; erected, will be .beautiful and commodious—an orna
ment to the delightful town of, Montrose and a credit to
our denomination: It will have two-spires, one about
160 feet high, and the other about 16 feet. There will
,be a lecture room in the rear. The ministers of the
town and. severalfrom the: neighborhood .were present,
and took part in the services. = . •

Noon-Say Prayer-Meeting. The American
CSajpel In Paris. —-“ Prayer is requested in behalf of
the American chapel in* jwhich is a church
•without a-regtrlar— membership -to pray;far~it; - -Burg*
and’evangelioal.religion-is preached there every Sab
bath, it istrue,but:l. feel: convinced, from having -re
cently'wdrsfiipped"th'dre quite frequently, that what
they want jis ihc pieaence of the- Holy Spirit. It is
proper, too 1 / that 'we should pray for : theta at this
time, as a member of pur own Young Men's Chris
tian Association, of this city, has just gone there to
assume the assistant’ pastorate bf the* Chapel. He
goes with his- heart set Cnfdding good. 'Lot us sus
tain him by pur prayers* • >
"Every Sabbath there is aistream of Americans seen
pouring into this chapel, but- few of them are pro
fessorsof religion. Very many of them, I know, come
under no other religious influence than the
word preached there. In such a city as Paris, where
there is everything. to»draw away the* thoughts; from
holy things, those who do-go to the house of God uni
der such circumstances need the prayers of God's
people. Many persons have gone to this chapel and
theye have been impressed with religious truth, and,
ha've'Cotoe under the power of the Gospel. Let'us,
then,- pray for this church .that. has .no regular *mem
berth ip, and pray also, God’s blessing' upon its ser
vices.”
; A-Market Street merchant-said, “ For two months
past I have been* in Europe, and I need not fell you
that while absent I have been thinking of your meet
ing here, and longing to meet with you again, and
mingle my prayers with yours. ; The influence of,
these noonday meetings* in America is felt abroad,
and it has been pleasant to me to notice. the effect of
the recent revival movements, both' at homeland
abroad, upon the masses in Europe. I find
Christians everywhere are more open arid -free than
formerly. Amongst Christians of various names
there is much more of unity and oneness than I have
ever before been -able to discover, more cordiality and
real love. With the multitudes who pursue pleasure,
however, I find no ’Change., The same hardness of
heart,, the same worldUness,-the same eager pursuit
after eafthly’good. 1 1 find*everywhere that the most
efficient influence to bring men to think of their
eternal interests is that of the silent, but powerful in
fluence of a holy life. A consistent piety seems to
'do more with men m proving to them.the reality and
power of Jesus Christ, than anything else. This
growing ‘conviction* brings me to the conclusion that
if we; are going to do anything,, either at home or
abroad, for the salvation of men, we must'constantly
, cultivate persbhM piety in our own hearts by getting
near to God, and keeping there.” .

‘ Among other things, he is reported to have said,
Robinson exhorted his little -flock to follow him no
further.than he followed the truth, or expected 'to

J. H.B. Latrohe, of Baltimore, prcsidtntof the Ame
rican Colonization Society, was the chief speaker. He
asked what would be the condition of the negro cap
tured on board of slavers if it was not for Liberia?
Why, it would be as impossible to return them to
their original homes as it would to restore the leaves
that were torn by the whirlwind from the thickest
forest.
At the sixth anniversary of the Southern Aid So
ciety, Rev. Robert Baird, D. D., of New York, stated
that seventy churches were now aided by the society,
and it had become a really catholic society, assisting
all who need it.
The receipts for the past six months were $9,000.
■ The American Tract Societyof Boston held its 46th
annual anniversary. '
The President, Ex-Governor Briggs, made a few
introductory remarks. He said he had not before
met the Society since he had received the distin
guished honor of being elected its President. He re
gretted the cause of -the disruption of the society,
but believed that God had smiled upon the event.
•- He urged a course of kindness and conciliation, and
the avoidance of allusion to the cause of difficulty.
He would-have the use of opprobrious epithets avoid
ed. They were never argument, and could only in
jure the cause in which they were used. Let them
go on in their work in dispensing truth'upon the
: wings of the press, and to act in all their relations
so as to meet the approbation of the Great Master.
The attendance walk large.* Addresses were made
by Rev. Drs. A. D. Smith, of New York, A. L. Stone
and Kirk, of Boston, and Captain Andrew Bartlett.
The 32d anniversary meeting of the Boston Sea
men's Friend Society was held at the Tremont Tem
ple. Rev. Elijah H.Kellog, pastor of the Mariner's
church, made a report and address. It was a re
markable fact that the revival of two years since had
not been followed in the past year by corresponding
inaction. There was, Btill, spiritual sunshine all
around.' The work in every department has assumed
a more enduring form than ever before. Sailors had
been called to shipboard, not from dens at the North
End, but from the Old South Chapel, and they had
gone on hoard with the breath of the prayer-meeting
still on them.
In the naval service many conversions had taken
place; prayer-meetings had been held on the receiving
ships, and the influence of them had gone abroad into
all the ships. In one ship in which a prayer-meeting
had been set up, thirteen officers and twenty-five
sailors had been converted, and religion was encou
raged on board, fore and aft.
In the Chelse‘a Hospital many conversions had
taken place, through the efforts of young men.
There have been received as boarders at the Sailors'*
Home, during the past year, two thousand two hun
dred and seventy-four seamen.
One hundred and ninety-five conversions have
taken place among those who have made this house
their home while on shore, sixty-fivo of which have
occurred at sea through the efforts of some pious sea
men.
Massachusetts S. S. Society.— The Annual Re
port says—
The business- of the Depository is steadily in
creasing from year to year. During the past year,
the-sales were $53,337.24. This is $2,170.93 more
than the previous, or any preceding year.
“Another thing that him contributed to thiß result
is the fact that the Society, through its books and
periodicals, speaks freely and distinctly on the doc
trines-of the Bible as held by. our churches, and also
on'all.the moral questions of the day. The single
tact of the free utterances of these publications in
regard to the subject of oppression, has secured for
them, a very extensive- demand through the West,
as well as in New England, and. the Middle States.''
Conversion ,to Immersionism in Old Age.—
On Sabbath, June 3d, Rev. Dr. Kennard baptized
Rev. C. B. Everest, a Congregational minister. Mr.

salary of $2,500, was pledged to Rev. J.C. Stiles, D. D.,
asprofessor in the Seminary; and at the same meet
ing, Rev. A. H. H. Boyd, D. D., was unanimously

“Suydam-Security Fund.”
The Scandinavians Again. —A correspondent
of the Lutheran Observer says—
An experience of 21 years in the west, and frequent
failures to effect a doctrinal and ritual coalescence of
the European'ohurchliness- r with the more liberal
views and practices of the American Lutheran
church, have resulted in the conviction that our only
way to.be united is to be separated—separated intft-
Synods, accordant with' the doctrines and ritual we
respectively prefer, and ’ united in the courtesies of
Christian fraternity and love, and the one great aim
to build up the kingdom of God among men. . Same
ness ib not unity, nor is unity in modes of expression
and procedure essential to the otieness among His
disciples for which'the Divine Redeemer so devoutly
prayed. It may be a weakness of durnature for’us
as Christians .to be separated, hut it is a downright
wiokedness-for us. to pretend we are united when* we
are hot. ..
The Union Tabernacle.—This “Big Tent” has
arrived in Beading, and is opened for religious;
worship daily. Over three hundred ministers, in con

Action of the 0.8, Assembly on Colonization,'
Slavery, &e.— ln relation to the several memorials
and overtures referred to the Committee relating to
Colonization, Temperance, the Slave -Trade, &c., the
Committee recommended the' following resolution
which was adopted. ’

matters, and on the other, assert the right and doty
of the Church, as God’s witness on earth, to bear her
testimony in favor of truth and holiness,, and against
all false doctrines and sins, wherever professed and
committed, yet in view of the oft repeated action of
the Assembly in reference to the subjects above re
ferred to, it is inexpedient to take any further action
in relation thereto. ' ! y

The Twenty-first Anniversary of the Sabbath
schools connected with the Cedar street Presbyterian
took place Sabtiath afternoon, the 27th ult.
There has been an encouraging increase both in the
number of scholars andlpf charities bestowed by the
schools. The number scholars at the present time
is two hundred and eignjy, and twenty-one teachers;
the library contains one and seven volumes.
Fifty-two dollars and cents nave been ex=-
pended on the library; m addition, the infant school

There has been an increase, during: theyear, in the
large school of thirty-eight scholars anfi two teachers,
and in the infant school of fifty-three scholars, making
a total increase of ninety-one scholars, which result
was brought about chiefly by the systematic visita
tion society connected wjth the church. By the bless
ing of God it is to be hoped that the number will be
doubled during the coming year.
The exercises were'ofji very interesting character.
The creditable manner iif which the children .sang
the beautiful pieces, must have convinced the teachers
and the many parents of the children present, that
the care taken to trainijthese “infantile songsters”
in.that interesting andi' delightful part of Sabbath

Mr, Barnum, of Kharpoot, tells of a. jubilee offer
ing to the American Board from a society of twenty
members in a place where a year and a half before
there was only ono Protestant, and the opposition,

man in the city. One Jlbhammedan is a regular at
tendant on the preaching of the missionaries, and
professes to have embraced ; Christ. The death
penalty for apostacy from Mohammedanism still ex
ists in Persia. .
India, —The annual report of the Ahmednuggur
mission shows eleven churches, containing 369 mem
bers, of whom 64 were received in 1859. One native
pastor was ordained within the yeqr. Friends in In
dia .gave $1,500 to.supply .deficiencies in the appro*,
priations made to the hiission., The spiritual growth
of the churches is encouraging.
The Madura 3B ehnWbes, 78 addi
tions by profession! and an aggregate of 1,012 mem
bers. A gain of 567 persons has been made to the
“ village congregations.” These increase in stability.:
There has bden an advance in benevolent contri
butions. -
. China.— Much solicitude is felt in reference to the
position, in which missionaries in China would be
placed by a war with England and France. The fear
is entertained that the Chinese would-riseiupon the-
European residents, and similar scenes enacted there,
to those which occurred in-India.
The Choctaw Mission was represented in the per
son of Rev. Mr. Byington, (now under the patronage
of the Presbyterian Board of Missions,)'who has la-
bored amongst the Choctaws forty years. He said
the Gospel had wrought an entire change in that na
tion. They were poor—are now well off; were idle —■
are now industrious. -Their moral stamina was such
as to enable them to make a successful stand against
the intemperance which whites had attempted to bring
upon them. Connected with the board of missions
which he represents, there are 16 ehurches among
the Choctaws. During the last year 123 communi
cants have been received on profession of faith. The
total number of communicants in the 16 churches is
1,770, of whom 143 are colored. They have 1,122
children in their Sabbath schools. During the last
year their charitable contributions amounted to |llO4.
The fruits of the labors of the Methodists and Cum
berland Presbyterians were-estimated at about the
same as those above stated. ,

Movements op the Japanese.— The Embassy left
Philadelphia, on Saturday, for New York, , after a
visit to this city of a week.,
We are happy to be able to state that the gross
and-painful violations of the sanctity of the. Sabbath
day, which they were encouraged to commit in the
National Capitol,.were not repeated in the Quaker
city. Whether this unexpected exhibition of pro
priety resulted from a sense of delicacy in the Ja
panese, or from fatigue, demanding the repose for
which the day,:in part, w;as appointed, or whether it'
was felt by those having them in eharge, that public
opinion in our orderly city was too strongly on .tbe
side of a respectful.observance of the day, to flout) it
so; impudently as was done in Washington, we know
not. With the exception of the medical part of the
Embassy, which went to witness a surgical operation
performed that day, by Dr. Pancoast and others, the
officials and their followers kept pretty closely to their
rooms and refused to admit- visitors.
During the week all the places Of public interest in
our city, including Fairmount Water-works, the Mint,
Girard College, &e., with many of our largest manu
facturing establishments, as Baldwin’s Locomotive
works, Johnson’s Type Foundry, &c., were visited
and’ curiously and-.intelligently inspected by the
strangers. : The intentuess of their look, -arid the
closeness of their observation, leave little doubt of
their obtaining accurate ideas of the various objects
inspected. •'
The-IV&IiC Ledger of this city, however, clearly
shows how inadequate ia any survey of- our national
peculiarities 'from which the institutions and obser
vances of religion are,omitted.' In its issue of Satur
day it says :7; ,
-“ One thing is certain, a Japanese Embassy may
examine all ouir mechanical works; and-discover no
more of,the secret pf our national success than.a man
who should attempt to discover the source.of motion
in a. watch, teit refuse to open the little box that con r
tained the mainspring. To examine o.ur theatres but
not our churches, will not exhibit to them, our best
architecture; and to attend even on the admirable
and excellent Blitz, and refuse to attend any church,
will not give them the truest insight into our institu
tions. It seems to us a pity that they cannot give
our laws, our ethical and.moral systems,’Our institu
tions of learning, our-Sabbath schools and oar
churches,'.aa close an inspection, as our systems of
medicine and surgery,,or oiir halls.of Congress, our
fire-works, our fire engines, our j ewelry, and .our .va
rious piachine shops.. The admirable wisdom evinced
in their ,not going to any night exhibition, cannot be
too much admired, however; but their. unfortuate
motto, ‘ln Japan we have but one religion,’ accounts
for their stagnation in all else;” '
; The Ekesident. and Secretaev or Wak Censured.
Wo were present in the National Capitol on Wednes
day of last week; when the crushing vote of censure
was passecL-byAhe House -of -Representatives, upon
these high officials.
The first resolution, condemnatory of-both the
President and the Secretary Of the Navy, was adopt
ed, without a count being taken of the number voting
on either side. . ,• ■ ; : . ... ,
The seoond resolution. declaring. that the contract
madoby the Secretary of "the. Navy, in,.September,,
1858, with W. C. N. Swift, for the delivery of live
oak timber, was a violation of the law, arid in a man
ner unusual, improper and injurious to the public
service, was adopted. -Yeas;'ll9nays, , *-60. - : :
•The third, resolution; that the distribution by the'
Secretary of the Navy of the patronage of the Navy
Yards among the members of Congress is destructive
of discipline, corrupting in its tendency—and highly
injurious to the public was adopted —-Yeas
123, nays 61. .
The, fourth resolution, that the President and
Secretary of tbe Navy, by receiving and considering:
the party relations of bidders for contracts with'the.
United States, and the effect of awarding • contracts
upon pending elections, ; have set an example danger-;
ous'to thnpublie safety and deserving ttie -reproof of
the House. Adopted—Yeas 106, nays 61.
5. That the appointment by Secretary Toucev, of
I^ANiEL ( B. Martin, Ckjef Engineer, as a member Of
the Board ofiEngineers, to report upon the. proposals
for the construction ofmachinery for the United
States—the said Martin at the time being pecuniarly
interested in some of the said proposals—is hereby
censored by the House; Adopted—Yeas 90, nays 37.
However these censures may serve party purposes,
it is blear they are- more-.than- mere party-measures
as the;overwhelming majorities show. . And every
American of every party, must feel chagrined and
humbled that the necessity for such, measures ac
tually exists; while it is matter of sincere thankful-;
ness that the representative's of the people of every
shade Of opinion, have, combined to set the seal of an
emphatic and overwhelming condemnation upon such
corrupt practices. We trust it may prove a whole
some and effectual warnin g to all future administra
tions.
Amid much turbulence and excitement, Speaker
Pennington'presided with great ease: and efficiency.
FOEEIGN.
Mexico. —The liberal forces,-lately so successful,
have received several severe checks, and .the fortunes
of the party led by Miramon, appear to be once more
in the ascendant. The Capitol is in a most deplorable
condition, as there is not the slightest safety for either
person or property for a moment. Robbery and dis
order seem to be absolutely organized.
Sardinia. — -The Annexation of Savoy and Nice,—
The Chamber of Deputies on the 29th ult., by a vote
of. two hundred and twenty-five • against thirty-three,
approved of the annexation. Twenty-three members,
abstained from voting. ' . '
■Venice. —The Governor of Venetia has found it
necessary to dismiss another set of civil servants. The
cashiered officials are Italians by birth, and are conse
quently suspected. As the number of dismissed is very
great, the Governor will have to carry on the future
administration of the province, mainly with,Germans
and; Solavqniana—a circumstance, which, if possible,
mjist make matters worse in that unfortunate country.
Belgium. —The Kreuz Zeitung has received private
correspondence from Belgium, stating that an active
propaganda is-kept up in that ‘country for incorpora
tion with France.’
The Ultimatum Refused; by China. —The ulti
matum demanded-an ample apology for the Peiho
affair, the restoration of the guns and-ships lost on
that occasion, the ratification without delay of the
treaty of Pekin and an indemnity of four millions of
tales for military expenses' attending the Canton
affair.
The Chinese peremptorily refused all these.proposi
tions, thus dispelling all hope of an amicable settle
ment. ...
It appears that a marriage is in contemplation be
tween the Prince of Wales and a Princess of Prussia:
Thus a double bond of union will exist.' between 'the
House Hohen-ZoUern and Guelph.
China.—The Americans are charged by the China
Chronicle with haying been engaged in the coolie trade;
and a proclamation has been issued by a distinguished
Chinese official, warning them against the practice of
kidnapping.
Sicily. —The advices by the steamer Niagara fully
confirm the previous reports of the successes achieved
by Garibaldi.
He attacked Palermo at 4 o'clock on the morning
of the 28th nit, penetrated to the centre of the city,
flag in hand, after a desperate conflict of six hours,
during an active bombardment by sea and land.
The royal troops retreating to the palace and other
public buildings, the combat was renewed. The palace
was at length taken by the people and burned. The
loss in killed and wounded is very considerable.
Other towns in Sicily have also risen against the
Government.
'■ Japan. —lnstead of the reigning Emperor or Tycoon
being assassinated, as was currently reported a few
days ago, the following appear to be the facts:
‘‘About a week ago, Prince Gotairo, when on his
way from his private dwelling to the palace in Yeddo, 1
with, the usual guard of sixteen, was attacked by a
party of eighteen. Six of the guard and four of the
assailants were killed,’ : and several on each side were
wounded, including the Prince.
‘‘The guard fought bravely. One of the assailants
was fatally wounded, and a comrade, to prevent his
detection, cut off his head, and escaped with it through
one of the gates. "
“The Tycoon ordered the officer in charge of the
gate to commh hari Jcari, which he did.
“It is thought by many that a revolution.is impend
ing,- which, .if successful, will cause the speedy
sion or death of all-foreigners.”
- The Chkistiaks rN Turkey. —Lord John Bussell
explained, the nature of Russia's propositions in re
lation to ;the Christians in Turkey, and said that
‘ Austria, Prussia and England dissented, and pro
posed that Turkey herself Bbould institute the inquiry,
which proposition was being Acted upon; ’
France sided With Russia. 1
England.— A company was being formed in Lon*
don to construct air tubes for the conveyance of de
spatches and parcels to and from various parts of the
metropolis. An influential direction had been formed
with-the Marquis of Cbandos as chairman.

FAiTHFUL-Ministers of Health. In examining the
vessels at the various wharves we find among the curi
osities of our.commerce the-brig Miranda, just in from
TruxiSlo with a cargo of Honduras Sarsaparilla for Dr.
J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowell. So particular are this
firm as to the articles used in compounding their various
remedies, that, they have this drug, like some others
they consume, gathered for them by a skilful agent of
their own in the tropical regions of its growth. He in
forms us that there are inaay species of this plant, but
two of which are really valuable in. medicine; the
qualities of these are also affected by the time of gather
ing, mode, of curing,, etc., operations which in that
region of unreliable workmen imposes a heavylabdr upon
him. One of the inert varieties o,f Sarsaparilla grows
wild in our own forests, while several others, nearly
worthless; abound in Central audSouth America. Tlie
. intelligent agent assured us that the virtues of this drug
had never , been fully, told, and that the reason of the
low esteem in which.many hold it is mainly due to the
importation of such immense quantities of the worth
less varieties. His -accounts of his trips to Honduras
and his business excursions'along the Gulf of Dulce and
the rivers of Mdtagua-and Santiago and among the ad
jacent' mountains were of. intense interest. We can but
commend and honor his employers for the faithfulness
aiid energy with-which" they execute their trust as
ministers to the public health; and we suspect that this
course, is at least one of the reasons why their medicines
are held in; such-extraordinary favor throughout the
civilized world.— Nett York City Hern./" r
