OUR OWN CHURCH.
Galena, 111.—We learn that the First and Second
Presbyterian Churches in Galena have recently ef
fected a Union. The reason assigned (and as we
think, a good reason) is, that one strong Church, will
, do more for the common cause than two weaker ones.
'The Rev. A. L. Benton, ofLima, New York,, bas
been called to the pastorate of the new congregation.
W.° are glad to hear he has accepted the call.—Chi
cage Recorder.
Presbytery of Cleveland.—At an unusually full
meeting of the Presbytery of Cleveland, held at the
.Stone Church, on the List ult., Mr. Geo. B. Pierce,
1, , graduate of Western Reserve College, was, after
isamination, licensed to preach the Gospel. tis al
together likely that Mr. Pierce will •be invited to fill
the pulpit of the church in 'lndependence, lately va
cated by Rev. Benj. F. Sharp.
Mr. J. B. Goue, the eloquent Temperance advo-'
gate, while recent y laboring in Chicago, caused the
pastor of Calvary yreabyterian Church, Rev. Edward
Anderson, to rejoice inthe_poalession of a. liberal ad
dition to lila library—the value of the 'boob reoeived
is not less than sloo—a worthy example for liberal
men of Means.
Church Dedication at Camanehe, lewa.—A
correspondent of the Evangelist says: You will re
member that on the 3d of June last, Oamanche was
laid, waste and nearly annihilated by a wind from
God—the Great Tornado, But with surprising recu
perative force, it has risen again into a village-of, I
should think, some eight hundred or more inhabi
tants; and being supported by's large agricultural
population, industrious and thrifty, It bids fair to re
gain Mrd maintain a respectable position among the
River towns.
It was my privilege, on the sth inst., to assitit_ in
the dedication of a neat and tasteful house of wor
ship in that place, erected by our New School Pres
byterian Church, under the care of Rev. George D.
Young. Additional interest was given, to the services
by the ordination, at the close of the sermon, of two
newly elected Ruling Elders of the church. There
was a good congregation in attendance, though the
weather was severely cold; and they all appeared to
feel happy in the consciousness that notwithstanding
their sore bereavements, the hand of God was still
good unto them.
This new ohuroh edifice is 50 by 35 feet on the
ground, and will seat between two and three hundred'
persons, The house and its furniture, together with
the lot, cop about $2,400. The greater part of this
money was collected by the labors of their pastor
from kind friends abroad, and the generosity of the
donors was appropriately acknowledged in the dedi
cation service,
Preabyteri of Itoohester.—The Rev. L. W. Bil
lington and Rev. George Freeman were elected Com
missioners to the General Assembly. The Rev.-J. H.
Phelps and Rev. R. S. Cratnpton were elected Alter
natest Frederick Starr and Geo. W. Allen, elders,
were also elected Commissioners to the General As
sembly; and Harris Clement and C. K. Adams, el
ders, Alternates,
The following action was taken in relation to the
subject of Home Missions:
\Yuma the Great Head of the Church has mani
featly committed an important mission to us• as a de
nomination for the dissemination of the Gospel in our
own bounds and throughout the land; therefore,
.Resolved, As the sense of this Presbytery, that'the
cause of Home Missions should be ranked among
the leading and prominent objects of benevolence,
calling for contributions from our churches, and that
it is the duty of every church, and every member, to
cntrlbote, aecerding to their ability, to this object.
Resolved, That we return to our former plan of
action, through a Puusbyterial Committee, which ope
rated so favorably tar the prosperity of the churches
in our bounds, and that we recommend to our churches
to pay their funds for Home Missions into the hands
of our Treasurer, William Ailing.
Resolved, That all arrearages be paid to those bre
thren who have •received Home Missionary Commis
sions within the bounds of this Presbytery.
Resolved, That the Rev. A. M. Stowe. be invited to
cooperate With our Presbyterial Committee in making
our Home Missionary collections, it being understood
that our own churches shall be cared for first, and
that all funds be paid to our Treasurer above named.
The Narrative of the State of Religion presents en
couraging facts, indicating a state of unity and har
mony among the churches, a large attendance:upon
Sabbath Semi instruction, a revival spirit in some
of the churches, to which large additions have been
made during the past year.
Thomas Allen Steele, and Henry Watkins Bal
lantine, were ordained to the full work of the minis
try, at Salem, on the 9th inst., by Salem Presbytery.
The examinations= were highly siitisfaetory to the
Presbytery; and the services of ordination were very
impressive and profitable to the audience. The ser
mon was preached by. Prof.-Elisha Ballantine. Mr.
11. W. Ballantine is under appointment as missionary
to the city of Bombay.
Rev, 8, D, Smith, has removed from Morrow-to
Lyme, Huron Co., Ohio, having received an-invitation
to labor with • the Presbyterian Church in the latter
place. Bro. Smith writes that he.has been most cor
dially welcomed, and assisted in tatting possession of
his 'lbw home by the good people of Lyme.l-::
OTHER BRANCHES OP THE CHURCH. `.
The Princeton Review.—Thee North Catrolina
I' , e4byiereun says, in regard to the article oh the
Sure of the Country:
We read attentively, but with increasing sadness
of Leart, as the truth became more and mere appa
rent, that another strong and venerable oak of the
fl,et had yielded to the storm, and the Princeton Re
ped ~ g 1 had gone over to the eneiny of our country's peace
uitd happiness/ The fact cannot be denied, and it ie
folly to attempt to blink the matter. '
C. Presbyterian says: We look at it eve,
TERMS
melancholy proof-that we cannot longer indulge the
hope of any agreement and fair understanding be
tween the North and the South. And again:—We
never thought to see the day when the representatives
of Henry Ward Beecher and Albert Barnes would
strike hands with Princeton. We have, indeed, fall
en on evil times. Surely God has Smitten the people
with blindness, and the great and terrible day of His
wrath has come!
A letter from Dr. Bodge, also appears in the Cen
tral Presbyterian, in reply to the criticisms of that
paper upon his article, in which its spirit was de
clared to be unholy and its views unrighteous. In
his letter of response, Dr. Hodge says, among other
things :
I am not authorised to any how you, if connected
with a public journal at the North, would net in view
of these circumstances. I know there would be many
considerations in favor of silence. To be silent would
be the safer course. It would offend no party and
alienate no friends. But it would discharge no duty.
It would do no good. Unless something is risked,
nothing is gained.. I believe that had you been in
my place, you would have decided as I did. -
* * * I, for one,
will not sit silent and
hear the mass of the Northern people denounced as
atheists and perjurers.
Three alterations have been made in the article
since its original issue. The allusion to Benedict
Arnold is stricken out, the name of the Indep'endent
and, other newspapers omitted, and the foot note on
the revival of the slave trade removed.
The Bethlehem Church, (Orange Presbytery) in
North Carolina, of which the Rev. R. J. Graves is
aster, is now enjoying a precious outpouring of the
Holy Spirit. The work of grace has been in pro
gress about three weeks, and the interest is unabated.
There is, probably, not one careless soul in the entire
community. A large number have found peace in
believing, and of these, several have commenced the
Christian life by uniting with the church. The young
men in the Bingham AeadeMy (a part of the emigre.
gation) have all been partakers, m some degree, of
I , • ..and. blessing.- About half._ -the

Dr. 11,M. Calhoun, extensively known as a skil
ful and suecessful practitioner of medicine and sur
gery, for more than thirty-five years, in the. State of
Missouri, has resigned the high position he has oc
cupied in his profession, to devote himself to the ser
vice of the Gospel Ministry. He is a member of the
Presbytery of St. Louis, and is -highly esteemed its
an able'and zealous preacher of the Word of God.
EPISCOPAL
Lay Co-operation.—Bishop Potter, in an address
to the clergy end congregation of the Diocese of Penn
sylvania, •said :—More work and work more diffused,
with more of earnest united prayer, is that to which
the Holy Spirit seems to move our Church throughout
the land. May this Diocese not be backward in lis
tening to the call. In each parish; let the minister,
and the more earnest and judicious of his" people,
consult how best to engage all the unoccupied capa
city and zeal of the congregation, aiming at the em
ployment of properly,qualified persons, of every age
and condition, in doing systematically some good.
Death of Rev. Dr. Anthon.--:-Rev. Henry An
then, D. D., rector of St. Mark's olnirch in this city,
died at his residence, Second Avenue, on the sth inst.
Dr. Anthon was in the 65th year of his age. The
late deceased was one of six sons, of whom Charles
Anthon, the Classical scholaik and John Anthon, the
lawyer, have become distinguishedin their respective
vocations. The late Rev. Dr. Anthon has, for many
years, occupied the pulpit of St. Mark's, one of the
oldest and richest of our city churches. He was an
able preacher, a sound theologian, evangelical in sen
timent, and • steadfast 'supporter of purity in life,
and fidelity ,to the truth.—N.. Y. Observer.

Pewed Churehes.—Zion Herald,•the Boston or

Street Church, Boston, was:a pewed charch as early
as 1840, and nearly all the Methodist Churches in
New England have been such from the beginning of
the 19th century. The Methodists hereabouts.-from
the first, have thonght that they could succeed best
hi their great work, by building their churches on
this' plan.

Assault On a Minister:—We learn that Rev. Jo
seph Anderson; pastor of the Congregational Church
of Grand Haven, Mich., Win violently assaulted on
Friday evening, Deo. 28th, at his own residence; by
two brothers, named Parks, one of whom was a sa
loon waiter, and the othei the prosecuting attorney
for the county. They knocked at his door, and re
quested to see him outside. He unsuspectingly
stepped out, when they immediately attacked. him.
A gentleman in the house came to his rescue, but was
himself 'badly injured. One of the brothers imme
diately complained of the other before a magistrate,
and paid a nominal fine. The young men of the vil
lage, hearing of it, seized one of the scoundrels, beat
him severely, and compelled the other, who was
thought to have planned-the outrage, to flee from the
place to avoid tar and feathers.
The Church and Society had a meeting on Monday
following, and passed, unanimously, a series of reso
lutions denouncing the outrage, and tendering to Mr.
Anderson and his family their sympathy and re
newed expressions of their confidence, and as a mark
of further appreciation and regard, added $2OO to his
salary.
We knew that Brother Anderson had encountered
many trials in his difficult field of labor, but we did
not suspect that he was liable to personal violence.
Such assaults, we are confident, will be overruled for
good.— Cong. Herald.
Presbyterian and Congregational Convention
of Wiseonsin.—We have received the Minutes of
this Convention, held at Beaver Dam, in October,
from which it appears that there are connected with
the Convention seven district Conventions, 139 minis
ters, viz 44.26 pastors and 113 stated supplies. The
whole number of churches connected with the Con
vention is 171, of whom 147 are Congregational and
24 Presbyterian; 32 churches are vacant. Whole
number of church members 8,610; additions 1,198;
removals,72o; Baptisms 384 infants, 194 adults; 11,
840 in Sabbath Schools; 21,822 stated hearers, and
$10,594 contributed to benevolent objects: There are
a few churches, mostly Congregational, in the State
not connected with the Convention.
Death-of • Rev. Chauncey Eddy.—We are in
formed that Rev. Chauncey Eddy died suddenly on
Sabbath evening last, at Beloit, Wis. He was in at
tendance at the monthly concert, and was making
some remarks, when he was taken with an apoplectic
fit and expired. His age was sixty-six. Mr: Eddy was
for many years an agent of the American Board. It
is a remarkable 'coincidence that he should die in a
'monthly concert and while speaking on Missions.—
tong. Herald, Jan. 10.
GENERAL
.The Unspeakable love of Jesus for Little Chil
dren.—" Since the publication of the conversion and
triumphant death of Scovell Haynes McCollum, the
little boy of eleven years old, of Syracuse," said a
speaker in the Fulton street prayer-meeting, "I have
endeavored to keep, as nearly as possible, some trace
of the conversions among children, wrought by means
of Tootling that most interesting and touching story,
and As nearly as I can ascertain, not far from twenty
hopeful conversions have been reported. A great
work of grace is going forward among our little chil
dren. God is giving faith to believing' parents that
their little children may be-converted, and he is thus
fulfilling his promise that he will turn the hearts of
fathers to 'the children, and the hearts of children to
the fathers. This was to be a feature of the latter
day gliiry which was to come upon the Church.
Never, since the world began, was there so much
believing prayer in regard to the conversion of lit
tle children, in all branches of the Church, as now.
Never was there a time when so many were converted
as now. The present manifestation of faith for the
conversion of little children is only the beginning of
what is to be, in this turning of the hearts of parents
to the children, by this strong faith in Jesus as their
salvation in early childhood."

An Intermission for. Coughing in Churches.
—4. of the New York Evening Post,
writes: I once spent a Sunday at Lyons, on my way
to Italy. I attended : the French Protestant Church.
The form of worship is very much like the Presby
terian ; and the minister, after preaching about fif
teen minutes,' stopped rather abruptly, pronouneed a
word which I took to be "allez," and sat down. I'm
niediately the whole congregation, which had hitherto
been extremely quiet , and attentive, appeared to be
seizedwith fits of coughing, and expectoration—some
blew their noses, some took snuff. By degries the
noises ceased, and after an interval of five Minutes,
the minister resumed - his discourse, and finished it
without further interruption. A curious diatom, in
deed. .
Sermons for Slaves.—The folldwing remarks are
extracted from ''the North Carodill& Preibyterian
where, they appear as the report of a portion of an
address. made by Rev..W. E. Schenck, D. D., evre
sptmding Secretary of the Board of Publication, to
the Synod of North Carolina, at its late meeting:
"During the last year over 200 colportours were=in
:the-field, traversing 34 states, territories, and British
provinces. .They, sold about 125,000 volumes, gave
away 15,000 vole nies;distributed over 2,600,000 pages
of tracts; and as nearly as,wa can calculate, carried
a Message of salvation to over 1,000,000 souls.
'The 'Plantatidn Sermons' continue to. be more
and more widely used throughout the SoUth, for the
instruction of, theblacks upon the plantations; and a
Second v'ol'ume has jusi'been published by the Board."

FOREIGN
llr Bernasko, the English Wesleyatt missionary
at Whydah, a province of Dahomey, Africa, writes
that he- "left for Abomey on the 11th of July, and
arrived in that blood-stained capital on the - 14th.
Fourteen days afterwards, the Grand Funeral Custom
commenced. About fifty human beings have been
sacrificed during this period of preparation. The
paths leading from Abomey were all stopped, and
exit was Impossible during the continuance of the
eastern; and Mr. Bernasko believes that a thousand
lives were then offered up. Even this enormous
waste of life has not sufficed to appease the demon
of superstition. The close of the funeral custom is
adjourned to the period of the next annual custom,
when the attendance of all European residents will
be again required."
In the interval, Mr. Bernasko has been permitted
to return to Whydah, which he did on the . 2d of Sep
tember, and has since received a formal summons to
attend on the next occasion, the precise date of.which,
however, he does not specify. Let our readers re
member this miserable country at the mercy-seat.
It is matter for thankfulness that Mr. Bernasko has
returned in safety to his farmer habitation, and re
. mains undisturbed in the King's dominions, though
he had been threatened with ejectment. The daring"
attempts of the revival of the slave trade at Whydab,
of Which recent accounts make mention, (not less than
twelve hundred slaves having been hipped there in
a screw-steamer during the last month, and got clear
off for Cuba,) will greatly increase the difficulty and .
peril of his-position, and furnish an additional rea
son for commending him, and his work 'anew to the
Almighty Keeper of Israel.
P'entariatts.—A new religious sect has begun.to
develop itself in the northern part of Denmark. Its
believers claim that there are five Gods in one, and
call themselves Pentarians.
England.—Lord Palmerston's reply to the memo-,
rial for a new Episcopal See at Coventry is brief.
He says that "there are no means of creating a new
Bishopric, even if it were desirable."
The Bishop of Winchester has taken strong
ground against the neological Essayists. Ile frames
his examination•of candidates to meet most pointedly
such: errors, and declares that he will never know-,
ingly ordain any one holding such sentiments. _
The Bishop of London against the High
Church Party.—The Bishop of London continues to
show n decided opposition to the extension of High
Church practices. The correspondent of the 'Ned
York Churchman' writes—
"The Bishop of Londun lately refused to assign
parochial district for a new church erected at Ham
mersmith, a suburb of the metropolis, unless the in
cumbent would agree to certain restrictions as to the
mode of eonducting the services, excluding the chant
ing of the Psalms, and other devotioeal, and correct
Church practises. The incumbent, who had no al
ternative but. to accept this arbitrary.condition, or
else forego his opportunity of carrying out his ob
ject, now findei - himself obnoxious to his congregation,
because he cannot sanction any improvement of the
services of the Church. An address with five hun
dred and forty signatures has been presented to th e
Bishop, requesting a removal of the restriction. The
Bishop's reply, lately received, politely states' that his
lordship dues not consider that an alteration in the
services would be conducive to the spiritual welfare
of the general population of the district. The Bishop
will probably be Informed that the memorialists are
about, to consider what would be their next step in
the matter, which they will not allow to rest in its
present stage. They now know their strength, and
are determined that their just demand fur a lawful
right shall not be slighted, Whilst the outrageous cla
mot. of a demoniacal mob is obsequiously obeyed.
The Bishop is evidently determined to discourage
those improvements in divine service which the pre
valence of a better Church spirit is in all directions
demanding.,But it is probable that in, this instance
he will find tat be is not oinnipotent."
FZIAD PASLIA AND - THE PROTESTANTS.--It is a fact
that Fuad Pasha is appointing Protestant mem
bers of the Mijlis (Council) in all the various districts
of Syria, and is giving land for cemeteries to the Pro
testants:in every town and city. 'Thew) and other
movements tend to give the Protestants a recognised
status among the sects, which will be of great value
in all the future. On the whole, I regard the pros
pects of pure Christianity in Syria as brighter than
ever before."

The U. S. Government to be Coerced by Flo
ridn.—South Carolina having paused in her active
warfare against the United States,'Florida is about to
try the same game of ccercion, probably with the
same result. Fort Pickens, which is a strong for
tress, held still by the United States troops, is to be
attacked by a large force, if Florida can borrow the
troops from Louisiana,- and the opinion of the New
Orleans News' correspondent is, that Fort Pickens
will surrender. Fort Pickens is'about as strong as
Fort Sumter. It is at the, ,mouth of the Pensacola
Bay. It is embrasured for two 'tiers:, of guns, under
bomb-proof casements, besides hav,ing one tier of
guns in barbette. The guns radiate to every point
of the.horizon, with flank and,enfilading fire at every
point, of approach. Its complete garrison is 1200
soldiers, but only a few troops are within its -walls.
Enough, probably, to Success full y. defend it. It has
210 guns, 63 of which arel2 pounders. Fort Pick
ens, if it has any thing of a •garriaan, ought not be
taken.—Public Ledger.

A WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA ASTHMA
AL BY JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT. This unrivalled
remedy for Pulmonary Diseases is equally successful in
all, countries and climates it: subduing diseases.
The Rev. Eugenia Rincaid, a Missionary in Burmah,
writes:----
- It is rare that we Lire any medicine except your pre
parations. About three months since, a Burman female
of rand, who called onus, as we learned from her hus
band, had suffered for EtCHTY YEARS with ASTHMA, and
often, for weeks together, had been unable to sleep,
except in a silting posture:
It was painful, to look upon her emaciated frame and
distressed countenance. Feeling' quite satisfied that
no medicine could restore her to health, We 6. e. Dr.
Dawson and Mr. Kincaid) thought only of afforiling
some temporary relief, and gave her about one-thild.of
a !Bottle of your Exrccrolunr. One week after, her
httaband came for more, and informed us that, for the
first time in eight years she had slept sweetly. In one
month and a half she was entirely restored, and has
increased nearly one-fifth in weight.
Our sister, you recollect, took your ALTERATIVE for a
long standing Swelling on her neck. It has perfectly
cured. her. I Yours,
