PROM OUR ROCHESTER OORRESPOJT
DENT.
ADDENDUM,
•Although our letter about the com
mencement at Hamilton was long
enough, yet there ■were quite a number
of things beside, about which wo should
be glad to say a word.
Tt is an interesting fact that all the
members of the first class of Hamilton
College, which graduated in 1814, are
still living. The class was not large,
however. Rev. George A. Calhoun, D.
D., of Coventry, Ct., was one of them,
and William Groves, Esq., formerly of
Clarkson, in this county, and once our
County Clerk, was the other. We pre
sume the honors were equitably divided
betweeh them. If Mr. Calhoun took the
Valedictory, it is not difficult to suppose
that Mr. Groves must have had the
Salutatory. It certainly was a very re
epectable class, though not large.
The whole number of graduates of
Hamilton, up to the present time, is
something over eleven hundred; avera
ging over twenty a year, which is not
bad for the first half century of the ljfe
of such an institution. But her gradu
ates are not to be estimated by numbers
alone. There are some single names:
among her sons—such as Edwai’d Rob
inson and Albert Barnes—-that will
outweigh a whole catalogue of common
men. And it is a little singular, and
quite interesting, that while special
efforts arc being made to introduce the
systematic and thorough study of the
Bible, as an integral portion of a college
course in Hamilton, the names of Rob
inson and Barnes should just he identi
fied with two professorships; men who
Rave done _so much to promote the
scientific and thorough study of the
Scriptures, not only in this country, but
as we may almost say, in every other.
But those are not the only names of
sons of Hamiton welt known, at least
in the land. We might mention that of
GerritrSmith, the philanthropist, of the
class of 1818 ; Dr. Parker, of Newark;
Dr. Hague, of Boston; Judge Bacon, of
Utica.; Judge Clinton, of Buffalo; Dr.
Whedop, of tho University of Michigan,
and Dr. Kendrick, of the University of
Rochester. Among the missionaries wo
.might name Sheldon Dibble and H. G.
O. Dwight; and, among a younger class,
conspicuous are the names of Professor
Theodore W. D wight, in Ne wY ofk j'Dr.
Kelson, in St. Lonis; the late Governor
Willard, of Indiana; Prof. Upson, of
Hamilton College; Rev. P. P. Ellin wood,
of Rochester, and Rev. Thomas S. Has
tings, of New York. Pennsylvania is
also indebted to Hamilton for her Dr.
Wing, and the late Dr. Henry Steele
Clarke.
At the same time, we doubt not, this
college has some sons of whom she is
not so proud. The names of Philip
Barton Key, of Washington notoriety,
and Luther C. Saxton, now an inmate of
Auburn State Prison, occur to us in this
connection ; hut those are only a dark
background to a bright picture.
The senior Professor, Charles Avery,
LL. D., of the Chair of Chemistry and
Natural Philsolophy, deserves honorable
mention. lie has been for thirty years
at his post, and has gone through with
his accustom'ed course of lectures every
year; having lost none by sickness or
absence, an example of constancy and
fidelity truly remarkable.
We should love to speak of other
professors. They are the right men in
the right places. The mature writing,
and the manly, natural, earnest speaking
of Commencement plainly showed, at
least that the Chair of Rhetoric and El
ocution is well filled. ¥e regard Prof.
Upson, indeed, as a man of rare gifts for
his place—so lively, genial, witty, play
ful and youthful in his own feelings, we
know the young men must like him;
and at the same time so simple, so nat
ural, and yet so able; so manly, and yet
so elegant in hig own style, we do not
see how he can help being a good teach
er, while he is necessarily a good model
in his department. And as success in
professional life so often depends solely
upon good speaking, the importance of
having in such an institution the right
kind of a professor of Rhetoric cannot
easily bo over-estimated. Hamilton is
peculiarly fortunate in this respect.
Another thing favors this college—it
has a noble constiuency. It is conced
ed, we believe, that every such institu
tion,'while it should not he sectarian,
yet must be closely allied to some reli
gious denomiuation, to which it shall
look for sympathy counsel'and support.
This looks to the Presbyterian Church
of our own branch; and this is the home
of this branch. In no other part of our
land is our church so strong, so compact,
as here; and in no part, we ventfhre to
say, more intelligent, or more enterpris
ing. Let them see to it that their own
college is well cared For and well pat
ronized. It will be'their fault’alone if
it is nbt, in the next fifty years, in all
respects, one of the very first colleges of
the land. Grateful for the generous
assistance afforded by Philadelphia and
New York, her more immediate friends
patrons intend to make her so.
PRESBYTERY OF ST. LAWRENCE,
This body convened in its semi-annual
meeting at the beautiful village of Wad
dington, on the St. Lawrence River, on
the 12th inst. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev. Bliss Burnap, of
Masoena. Rev. S. W. Pratt, of Brasher
Palis, was elected Moderator, and preach
ed a missionary sermon in the evening,
and Eev. A. C. Riggs, of Potsdam,
preached the communion sermon, next
day.
It wilf be remembered that this was
the Presbytery which sent an overture
to the General Assembly, praying that
immediate and positive steps might be
taken for a re-union of Old and New
School Presbyterians. The Presbytery
of Ogdensburgb,, (O. S.) in the same
county, sent a similar overture —in the
same words —to the Old School General
Assembly. These 'Presbyteries are ripe
for a re-union. As further proof of it, a
proposition was presented to the Pres
bytery of St. Lawrence, from the Pres
bytery of Ogdensburgb, in their recent
meeting, that the two bodies should
O'
unite in supporting a Home Missionary
for the county. The proposal was re
ceived with favor.
The interests and wants of Foreign
Missions also came under review, and
the need of a special effort to aid the
American Board, by special contribu
tion, in this time of its great embarrass
ment, was earnestly and judiciously
presented by Rev. S. W. Pratt, the
“ Presbyterial Agent for Missions.” It
is hoped that the churches of St. Law
rence will do all in their power in this
direction before the close of August.
The meeting of Presbytery passed off
pleasantly, and with special interest
attending most of its exercises.
The semi-annual meeting of the St.
Lawrence County Sunday School Teach
ers’ Association was held on the 14th,
at Brasher Falls, was well attended, and
was a pleasant and profitable gathering.
The friends of Sunday Schools from
Ogdensburgb chartered a car, and went
out in strong force, under the lead of
Col. Redington, and with our good friend
Rev. Mr. Miller as Chaplain. It was
voted to employ a Sunday School Mis
sionary for the county, with the deter
mination that everything possible sW
bo done to promote the thoroughness,
completeness and efficiency of the Sun
day School work in this county.
PERSONAL.
Rev. Jaimes W. Grusb, a graduate of
Williams College, and of East Windsor
Seminary, is now supplying the- pulpit
at Potsdam Junction. He is a young
man of fine promise, and is a valuable
acquisition to the ministerial force <sf
that region. He has previously been
engaged for a time in the work of
teaching, in Canton. We give him cor
dial welcome to the more direct work of
preaching the everlasting gospel.

CHAPLAIN STEWART’S LETTER.
Washington, D. C., July 30,1864.
LAWFUL TO BE TAUGHT BY AN ENEMY,
Dear Bro. Hears : —This was a trite
and sensible old maxim, and long centu
ries since copied into Christian litera
ture. The magnitude and difficulties
connected with our present civil com
motions, should render us as a people
docile of teaching from all sources
whence practical information -may he
drawn. We are, however, such a proud
and conceited folk, having such an evi
dent consciousness of our own great
ness, and so glorying in our superior
shrewdness, wisdom and ability; that
we are quite unwilling to assume the
attitude of docility and become learners
at any despised shrine of knowledge,
becoming especially indignant when in
vited to borrow from, and in certain
matters become imitators of our rebel
enemies,
HOME LEAGUES. WOMAN’S SELF-DENIAL.
Quite a stir bas been made in various
places through the North, by the for
mation of Home Leagues among the
ladies, they pledging themselves, after
speeches, essays nnd various patriotic
deliverances, to eat nothing, wear noth
ing, use nothing, buy nothing of'foreign
manufacture and importation while our
present war struggles .continue. This
covonant is, perhaps;-modified in certain
high places with the cautious proviso,
“Unless the article desired cannot be
purchased in the home market, nor of
domestic, manufacture.”
No one possessing any intelligent con
ception of Northern society, with its
present conditions, ever seriously imag
ined that these Leagues were about to
become general, or exert any visible or
practical influence in stopping the enor-
mous flow of'our'gold and silver to for
eign countries, for their gewgaws and

luxuries. The few ladies who arc in
earnest in this matter, might as well
clasp hands and wade into the Niagara
River above the falls with a view to
stop its current, as thus attempt to dam
up the present broad aud deep flow of
pride, extravagance and luxury.
And wby confine these leagues to the
ladies ? The gentlemen seem quite as
fond of extras as they; wear about as
many rich foreign fabrics; drink quite
as much and varied foreign composts;
and eat as many imported luxuries.
Why not therefore have our lords of
creation lead off in these patriotic Home
Leagues? Not they indeed.
Surely not out of place is it here to
ask: “ How are the rebels acting in
this matter ?” It may he readily an
swered, “ They are of course all Home
Leaguers, and this too from necessity.” ‘
Much truth no doubt there is in the as
sertioiT; yet we apprehend not all the
realities of the case. Everywhere during
the late advance of our army through
Yirginia to Petersburg* was evidence"
among the inhabitants of new and hith
erto untried efforts at home production
—this, not only in the immense and
flourishing corn-fields noticed in a pre
vious letter, but in the production of a
more than ordinary quantitf of wheat,
rye and oats—an’ unusual quantity of
Irish and sweet potatoes planted, also
beans, squashes and pumpkins, with
patches of flax and cotton. An increase
in the amount of home mjanufactured
cloth was evident on all tile prisoners
taken, and on all of the enemy’s dead
we buried.
Surprising to all of was the fact, that
nearly every farm of any pretension
from the Rapid Ann to Petersburg, had
its icehouse well-filled,"and although the
cakes of ice were thin, yet clear and well
preserved. These proved a godsend to
our field hospitals in every advance
made. Many of these ice houses are far
away from any river, considerable
stream, or natural pond. Although the
water was frequently all dried up from
whence theice had been taken, yet were
the ingenious shifts fot its production
still evident. A dam had been made in
the fall season below or around each
spring, or across every running brook.
Large and deep holes had been dug in
marshy places, and as the ice formed on
these it had been collected and carefully
housed.
Several favorable occasions were af
forded nie during the past season for:
forming a somewhat earnest judgment
with respect to the feelings and purpo
ses of Southern women in connection
with this war. Former convictions
have thus been greatly strengthened,
that tho South stands to-day quite as
much indebted for a successful prolong
ation of this struggle to her women, as
to her generals and soldiers in the field.
Fully, fiercely, terribly, malignantly
have they entered into this conflict. In
many localities I am fully persuaded
that neither friend, relative, or neigh
bor, capable of bearing arms, would be
allowed to remaiu at homer The fe
males in their zeal would find some
means to scorctf him away into the
military service. A number of these
Confederate females have declared to
me, that although their present sacrifi
ces are a seeming necessity,.yet by tbe
Loyal women of the South as they term
them —and they are all thus terribly
loyal —these sacrifices are most cheer
fully borne; each of their
former luxuries be now commanded all
would cheerfully go the government and
army; and that they have,a pride as
well as principle in using a home produc
tion both of food and apparel, however"
coarse.
Genesee,
R ot long since, daring our numerous
marchings and campings, I was called
.to visit on pass and military duty, -4.
family of F. F. V’s., from all appearance,
previous to the war, the home of wealth,
refinement and luxury, but now, owing
to the marching over and camping
thereon of our immense army, every
thing is laid waste. Abled bodied slaves
were all gone; a few, too old and too
young for use, left as a burden ; fences,
cattle, crops, outhouses all having dis
appeared; the old homestead, with a
small yard enclosed by palings, alone
remaining. The family were a digni
fied old gentleman, several daughters,
and some female relatives, the son being
in the Southern army. After the busi
ness, in hand was arranged, a long and
interesting conversation ensued.
When speaking of the desolation of
everything around, inquiry was made,
as to how they expected to get through
the coming season. “ The Lord only
knows for I do not!” was the old gen
tleman’s sad response. A daughter of
some twenty summers, full of life,
energy and bubbling over with South
ern and Confederate sympathies, inter
posed ; " Oh, never fear, we’ll get through
somehow. We are now Kving, and ra
ther comfortably too, on jrhat before
the war we "carelessly‘t'hfCw away. Be
fore this war commenced, the idea of
ICE HOUSES.
doing what is called work never once en
tered my mind, now I am laboring hard
every day from morn till eve, and feel
the better for it. We’ll get along some
way.”
Thus it is that the Lord is strangely
working a speedy and radical revolution
in all the social feelings and habits of
the South, lowering pride and vanity;
leveling a self-constituted aristocracy to
the ordinary grade of human sympa
thies and duties; developing also in an
unexpected andremarkable manner, the
latent energies of what we have been
want to look upon as an almost effete
race. More than this also, God is un
loosing those that were bound, elevating
the lowly, removing stumbling-blocks,
and placing before a long despised race,
new hopes, new desoires, new prospects,
with the addition of a field hitherto un
seen for rewarded energy and industry.
When this war has terminated with a
restored union .and permanent peace,
all the peoples of the South will he found
in an entirely novel condition; full of
energy, zeal and self-reliance, henceforth
to become a vigorous, yet loving, com
petitoifto the North in all the elements
of national greatness, a population which
in coming years will wonderfully devel
ope the national resources of this glori
ous Southern portion of our union, mak
ing it, as it ought to be, a garden spot of
earth.
We . have evidently failed to look
closely enough into the various elements
of internal strength which have so unex
pectedly enabled the South to carry on
this war so long, and with such tremen
dous energies. One chief source, beyond
question, is a self-sacrifice among all
classes, which we of the North, and in
this the hour of our country’s need and
trial, are called upon especially to imi
tarc. Fas estet ab haste doceri. Our peo
ple should not allow themselves to be
wheedled into the belief, that the pre
sent enormous prices for every necessary
of life, together with the alarming re
duction in the value of Greenbacks is
owing to the tricks and cunning of stock
jobbers, brokers and traffickers in gold
and silver. The causes are natural and
legitimate and lie far deeper than all
these pretences. The self-sacrifice and
patriotism of our people must come uni
tedly to the rescue, else will this rise in
our staples and fall in our money, con
tinue, until a barrel of flour in our North
ern market when paid for in Federal
money/will command as high a rate as
the srime article now in Richmond,
tritded for in Cbicifcderate scrip. Let us
not therefore reject wholesome lessons
of instruction though coming from our
enemies. A. M. Stewart.
U- S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION,
Interesting Report from Rev. Geo. Duffield, Jr,
Adrian, Mich., July 21, 1864.
George H. Stuart, Esq. —My Very
Lear Brother: In addition to various
other things stolen by the l'ebels in their
recent raid, I must hold them responsi
ble for two very precious days, one of
which I expected, according to promise,
to spend with you at Philadelphia, in
talking over the present operations and
prospects of the Christian Commission.
To use a favorite expression of the freed
men, which is on their tongues from
morning till night, it is indeed an “ in
stitution,” and much as I loved it before,
after the experience of the last four
weeks I love it a thousand-fold more
than ever. Count mo in for the war, to
the last man and the last dollar, to put
down this infamous rebellion; aud while
the war lasts, heart and mind and soul
and strength. Count me also in for the.
Christian Commission.
My recent experience at Bermuda
Hundred and vicinity has been very
different from that at Gettysburg a year
ago. Then I saw suffering, but mainly
in the particular form of gunshot wounds
and dismembered limbs. Patience in
suffering I saw on the part of the soldier,
fortitude that could not he surpassed;
hope in such extremities where hope
seemed utterly impossible; resignation
without a murmur to the loss of arms,
and legs, and eyes; peace and triumph
in death. To minister to these noble
fellows part of the stores provided for
them by our Commission was one of the
most precious privileges in the way of
service in which I have ever been per
mitted to engage. The day that.l met
the “ walking cases” on their way to
the depot—scores of them falling faint
and weary by the wayside—and found
myself with a full carpet bag ready to
relieve their more immediate wants,
was one of the happiest days in all my
life. For the Contents of that bag, if
any one had offered me $5OOO in gold
I would have laughed him to scorn.
The “ blessing of many that are ready
to perish,” of all earthly blessings goes
the deepest and lasts the longest. Prom
the way that I now write, you can see.
that the savor of it has not entirely
exhaled even to the present moment]
, Wfiaf Phave' se'en at 'Beriniida Hun-'
dred has given me a deeper sympathy
with the soldier than ever. I have seen
him in the camp, sometimes where he
had bad water and worse air, but where
the position had to he occupied at all
hazards. I have seen him on picket,
going and coming at the risk of his life,
not knowing whether the sharpshooters
would ever peiinit him to return. I
have seen him in the rifle pits, at the
battery, and in the trenches, and hard
at work under a burning mid-day sun
to complete fortifications that might be
attacked the very next moment. I
have seen him on the long and dusty
march, carrying his shoes because.,his
feet were swollen too much to be con
tained in them any longer. I have seen
him after a march, particularly Wilson’s
and Kantz’s cavalry after their, terrible
raids—man and horse alike exhausted,
and dropping together side by side into
the dust—sleep wanted more than water;
rest more than food. I haVe seen them,
as the result of such fatigue, by scores
and hundreds in the hospital with
typhoid fever, and in all those things
1 have seen such a commentary, on
the words of Paul —“ to endure hardness
as a good soldier” —as I have met no
where else.
Such as it is, therefore, and as far as
it will go, I am ready to bear my testi
mony as follows:
1. As to the field of Christian labor
and benevolence embraced within the
plan of our Commission. It is large; it
is encouraging; it is “white unto the
harvest;” I scarcely see any end to the
number of voluntary laborers that
might be profitably employed, or the
amount of money that might be judi
ciously expended upon it. At Bermuda
Station, for example, there was great
variety in our labor. # One day supplies
were to be sent off to the Point of Bocks
station. Another day some twenty
different hospitals were to be visited,
and the day following their wants sup
plied. A. third day, Shaw’s Colored
Regiment halted for some hours in otir
vicinity and there was a fair chance to dis
tribute reading matter. A fourth day the
hot weather vmb upon us; the surgeon
and assistant surgeon of a neighboring
regiment were sick; so was the colonel,
so were the officers. The soldiers came
to the tent in scores, and converted it
into a regular apothecary ’s shop. Ginger,
laudanum and blackberry did wonders.
Then a pickle and a couple of crackers;
some dried fruit, or a lemon to bring up
the appetite. The thanks of the sol
diers knew no bounds. “ I tell you,”
said one of them, just as I was leaving,
“hut for the Christian Commission, I
would be under the sod, and so would a
good many more of us.” Said another
man, a quartermaster, “ I have been
watching you men in that tent, and I
must say I think you are' doing the
right sort of work. Yesterday I got a
letter from my brother-in-law who is a
preacher, telling me about his nice choir,
fine congregation, pleasant settlement
and all that. I told him to come down
hereto Bermuda andhe could exemplify
more Gospel in a week than he could at
heme in a twelvemonth!” The quarter
master (not a professor of religion) was
about right.
Another day a battle had taken place
in -which the 18th Corps were engaged,
Five of our delegates started by daylight,
and helped to unload nearly fifty ambu
lances, to bury the dead, to help the
wounded, to write letters home, &c. I
saw some hard days at that station, but
the hardest day of all was the day I sat
in my empty test, and was obliged to
say, “No, we are entirely out; we can’t
get any more until to-morrow, or the
day after!” Hard as it would be to
haul down the stars and stripes, I tell
you my, dear would go just
as much againsjb the grain to haul down
the flag of the Christian Commission !
Let us nail it to the mast.
2. Another point in which I can bear
most cordial and unequivocal testimony,
is as to the co-operation of all the army
authorities, with the Christian Commis
sion, and without which co-operation the
Commission of course would be a thing of
naught. From the Secretary of War,
who gave me a note to the Surgeon
General, and through him a pass to all
the wards of all thfe hospitals in and
around Washington, down to the ambu
lance driver, I met nothing in my work
but the utmost courtesy and considera
tion . If I wanted a tug, I got it from the
captain of the port; a wagon, or an
ambulance, or a horse, I got it from the
quartermaster; a pass, it was never re
fused by the provost marshal; a lot of
hands to move our goods, 1 was always
sype of them from the wharf-master.
Everybody seemed to know that the
Commission had the cordial approval of
Gen. Grant and Gen. Butler, and to act
accordingly. lam the more explicit on
this point, because it is in itself an evi
dence, than which I wish none'better, as
to the estimate that is put upon our ser
vices by the powers that be.
8. The last point on which I wish to
‘bear my testimony, and to do so' wdth
even more pleasure and satisfaction
than either of the others, is as.to the
abundant opportupity that we have
through this Commission of laboring for
the spiritual good of the soldiers, and
especially of preaching the Gospel. Of
the three Sabbaths that I spent, each of
them was more interesting than the
other. The first Sabbath I preached to
the army, our services were under a
largo walnut tree, which suggested the
text — ; ‘ Where art thou ?” 1. Under the
tree of knowledge of good and evil ? 2.
Under the “Fig tree?” 3. Under the
“ Apple tree ?” or 4. (as I knew to be the
case with many of the .100 days’ men)
under the “Juniper tree?” concluding
by hoping that all might be found at
last under the Tree of Life. In the eve
ning I preached in the tent.
The next Sabbath I preached to the
Navy, on board “the gun-boat Sassaeus,
Capt, Roe, whose conflict with the rebel
ram Albemarle,off North Carolina, takes
its place in the same category with the
battles of the Monitor and the Kear
sarge. “Gentlemen,” saidl, “ honor will
not satisfy! Here on this deck, if any
where in the U. S., is the place to say
it. Few have achieved equal—none can
achieve greater honors than you, but do
they satisfy the heart ? To do this must
ye not 1 seek the honor that comes from
God only ?’ ” Captain Roe is a hero, every
inch of him! The next thing I hope to
hear from him is, that he has fully en
listed as a soldier of the Cross!
The third Sabbath in some respects
was the most interesting of all. . Agree
ably to appointment, at 10 o’clock A. M.,
I found myself on the deck of the dou
ble turreted monitor, Onondaga, Commo
dore Melancthe Smith, of the Reformed
Dutch Church. Half a mile back of us
was a new battery of the enemy, 8 guns
already mounted, four more mounting,
and ready at any moment to' open fire
upon us ! Rather interesting and sug
gestive circumstances in which to preach!
With the crew of the Onondaga, and
part of the crew of the'- Saugus, Capt.
Colhoun, of the Alexander ch., Philadel
phia, we had a full deck. I preaJflhed
of Christ as at the head of the kingdom
of Providence as well as the kingdom of
Grace—as the Saviour of Nations as well
as individuals. The iron-clads had
taught us the use of Providence in the
original monitors, as nothing else had
done during the entire war, &c.
Solemn as it was to preach, howevor,
in such circumstancos, it was still more
solemn to pray, —the nearest congrega
tion to Richmond of loyal worshippers of
any in the Ignited States, and. that ser
vice held for the first time! At the
close of the service, at Capt. Smith’s re
quest I organized a Sunday school.
Testaments were distributed to some 20
of the hands who desired them; reli
gious books were distributed. On a
call by Capt. Smith for teachers, several
officers volunteered their services; a
regular time was appointed for the exZ
ercises of the Onondaga Sunday school,
and with the exception of the officers
constantly on the look" out for the
“ ram,” I suspect that the rest of us for
the time being foi’got all about both
the ram and the battery.
In the afternoon we had a mass meet
ing in the yard of the provost marshal,
made up of soldiers, sailors, long-shore
men, freedmen, male and female, and
towards the last, of nearly one hundred
rebel prisoners who had the benefit of
our services.
Lev. Messrs. Lester, of Penna., Fay,
of N. H., Mcßay, of Brooklyn, L. 1., and
your humble servant from Michigan,
endeavored to preach Christ and him
crucified, and we trust,not without hope,
that some good was accomplished. At
the close of the meeting an old slave,
apparently over 70 years of age, came
ujr and shook hands with us, as if his
joy knew no bounds. “De fus time,
yeSjdepus time I’s ever been to church!”
God helping our brethren, we are sure
it will not be the last.
In the evening about 9 o’clock, we
thought as we were all most thoroughly
fatigued, we would have family worship
and retire. But singing brought aeongre
gation of freedmen around us, such as we
dare not dismiss, and again we preached
of him who came “to open the prison
doors to those that were bound, and
proclaim the acceptable year' of the
Lord.” It was hard, very hard, to say
good bye to such hearers, and the only
thing that reconciled us,to it was that
there would soon be other ministers to
take our place.
Sincerely yours in the best of bonds,
George Dufpield, Jr.
PEESB'H OHUBOH, BEVEBLY, B. J.
This comparatively new church,
now under the ministry of Rev. P. C.
Headley, is again prospering. There
is a good degree of unity, and the small
sanctuary is filled. It is the only New
School church in that region, and in a
beautiful village, or rather city, with
considerable wealth. It ought to be
come a strong and grcatly useful church.
The Sabbath school is flourishing under
the eare of Mr. G. F. 'Work.
