Our neighbor of the Presbyterian Stan i, while publishing the Newark man m, (the substance of which appear in our paper of last week,) makes following proposal : “It will be noticed in the report of meeting of the friends of the speedy >ion of the Presbyterian Church,- ich we publish this week, that the >ting recommended 1 conventions of friends of re-union, at important its, to be composed of ministers, tg elders, and others, to consult to 16r, and to declare their views.’ is is a good idea. Cannot a conven be held in Harrisburg, before or vr the meetings of our Synods this to be composed of the friends of re >n m Pennsylvania? We hope so. vt say you, brethren of other bran of the Presbyterian Church ?” branch of the church, for reasons :h are obvious, and we believe. on ides approved, leaves it to our O.

Coiigregationalisi says that “by ,1 effort and appointment, a large jr of aged persons in the parish of Hiram N. Gates of Barkhamstead, some of whom, for years before, not attended church, were present Sabbath services, September 4th, and sermon was preached by the pastor the words : • ‘ The boary head is a m of glory.’ At tbe intermission, venerable company were provided ih a comfortable meal at.the parson ahd in the afternoon, with others, gathered around the the commu table, many of them, doubtless, for last time! The sight was a veiy \able one, and the congregation affected to tears. Why cannot same thing he done, with, profit, m places?" ‘ ‘ NEW AND DESIRABLE PREMIUMS. We are able to announce some valuable additions to our list of premiums which at the present season of high prices we are sure will be appreciated by our friends, and es pecially by our ministerial brethren, whose inadequate salaries forbid any large appro priations for books. DR. SHEDD ON CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE, For four new subscribers and the pay, §lO. in advance, we will send-, post paid, the new and valuable work of Dr. Shedd, of Union Theological Seminary, New York, on the History of Christian, Doctrine, in 2 vols.

JOHN HUSS AND HIS TIMES. We are still sending this great work, writ ten in the fresh graphic style of Mr. Gillett in response to orders from those procuring new subscribers, and have more copies to be disposed of in the same way. Sent for four subscribers, and the pay, $lO, in advance. A NICE SUBSTITUTE. An exchange says that a wealthy gentleman in New Jersey, a few days since, enlisted as a substitute a stalwart and patriotic Canadian, paying him $BOO, and expending a considerable sum for an outfit. When they parted the recruit promised, at the request of his principal, to write at the first opportu nity; The gentleman was a little sur prised at receiving a letter from the man, dated Quebec, infcfrming him that his money had enabled the substitute and his wife to set up a corner grocery, and they were doing well, and if his patron would give him a call, he Bhould have a drink gratis. The letter con cluded as follows: p. s. them rebils is a set of Skoundrels an ought to Bee put down an ef yen Yanks cant do it just send for a lot of us Canadians an Wee will do it for you, yures J. c. A SUBSTITUTE BEOKEB IN TROUBLE. The Sherbrooke (Canada Bast) Free man says—“ On Saturday, the 20th ult., a man by the name of David Kimball, from Lunenburg, Yt-., was arrested, at Lennoxville, C. E., for attempting to procure recruits for the Federal army. It appears that Kimball had paid in advance to" four persons $5O each, in greenbacks; for another, $4O, and $2O more to hire a team to take them across the lake. He was committed for trial at the next term of. Queen’s Bench. Another substitute-runner was arrested on Sabbath morning last, for attempt ing a small operation, with a yiew of assisting to fill up the last 500,000 call. He was also committed for trial at the October term of Queen’s Bench. NEW USE FOE OAETES DE VISITE. : We see a paragraph taking the rounds under the above heading, which states that in Vienna, the curious custom; pre vails of inserting photographs of deceas ed persons in their tombstones covered with glass. It is more than a year since we saw the same in. oiir own country.. The likeness was even then much faded, as we suppose any photograph would soon be under so much exposure to the light of open. day. A slide, or some other contrivance to shut out the light in common, will probably be necessary, should this custom come into general use. - GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Mhe Vienna Presse declares that the Mexican monarchy, is intended not only to react against the Anglo-Saxon race and the Democratic ideas of North America, but also against American Pro testantism. We should think either half of the above achievement would furnish the new Emperor with sufficient em ployment to wear off the rust, at least until he finds out his, throne is his own. But we like to see men on good terms With themselves, and if Max’s spread of programme administers to his self-com placency, let him try, it. PORTY MILLION SEVEN-THIRTIES SUBSCRIBED. The subscriptions to this popular lOan are now forty million dollars, and they continue to> come in at the rate' of about ja-million a day. The public are satisfied that there are no Other invest ments so profitable as the TJ. S. securi ties. While nearly all the hundreds of miscellaneous stocks sold in the New York market have been declining for several weeks, Government stocks have: remained firm; and while lenders loan very sparingly, and at high rates, on the best mercantile paper, they have plenty of money to lend on Government paper, at as low rates as ever. While the Government, needs the people’s money, and pays for it liberally, it offers dhe highest possible consideration be sides, and that is safety. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1864. The large and handsome new edifice North Broad Street Church, at the cor ner of Broad and Green Streets,, will be dedicated, by leave of Providence, on Sabbath evening next; services com mencing at 7J o’clock. Utawrf ikt @lmwte. Ecclesiastical Change. —The Con gregational church in Clinton, N. Y., has lately taken a dismission from the Oneida Association to connect itself with the Presbytery of Utica, as a full manned Presbyterian church, a bench of Ruling Elders having been already chosen. This is one of the oldest, and among the most importan t churches in central New York; and the change is more felicitous from the fact that Clin ton is the? seat of Hamilton College, an inst'tution in close connection with our church, Rev. Albert Erdman is the mucn esteemed pastor of the church. Ministerial Changes, &c.— Rev. T. B. Jervis has been obliged, to the great regret of his people, to leave his pastoral charge in Oriskany, N. Y. Restoration of health is the object sought.——Rev. E. E. Fish has changed his residence from Marietta, 0., to Stevens’ Point, Wis., where he has assumed the care of the church. Rev. H. O. Howland was. installed, on the 7th inst'., as pastor of the church in Girard, ,Pa., by the Presbytery of Erie.——Hr, W. W. Newell, Jr., was,ordained as an Evange list in the Allen Street Presbyterian church, New York, on last Sabbath evening.——Rev. E. P. Willard has received a call from the church in Dun kirk, which he is expected to accept. Rev. W. A. Hendrickson has assumed the charge of the church in Winchester, lib The Christian Herald says that the congregation has nearly-completed an excellent house of worship, and that everything about their circumstances is promising. -Rev. S. R. Bissell, late of TJnadilla, Mich., has entered upon the work of a missionary in the region around Effingham, 111. Neenah, Wis.-— The Presbyterian church -in this- place has hitherto been in connection with the so-called “ Con-' vention” of Congregational and Presby terian churches in that State. Recently it has changed its' relation from that body to the Fox River Presbytery, thus securing for'itself a consistent Presby terian connection. MELODEON—HABMONIUM—OABNET As usual in such cases, the large de mand for these instruments has induc ed a great number of persons to engage in their manufacture, some of whom are quite unequal to the business they have undertaken. it requires something more than the mechanical skill of the artificer in wood and iron to make and prepare for use a musical instrument; and yet, some have evidently nothing else to their aid in the business:; The result is that‘the country is becom ing filled with inferior and-defective in struments. Large sums of money are expended for valueless articles, and the people are of .their needed musical education. The evil is inten sified by the fact that these inferior in struments are, on> account of their infe riority, most industriously urged upon the public. Because they cannot com pete with better ones in the open market, they are pressed upon the public by di rect solicitations; and because they offer larger commissions, they are those most commonly offered by agents and hawked by peddlers. And as most pur chasers are unable to judge of the rela tive merits of these things, the inferior articles are often bought when better ones are desired, and would be cheer fully paid for. Induced by these considerations, we have been at some pains to ascertain what instrument of the many now so liciting the public favor combines the greatest amount of real excellencies. We have prosecuted this inquiry en.- tirely independent of aid or direction from interested parties. The opinions of some of the best musical critics, com posers, and performers have been at tained; reports of experiments made in the ordinary use of various instruments in churches, schools, and families have been compared, all of which with singu lar .unanimity concur in assigning the first .place to the cabinet organ of Mason & Hamlin—a decision that cor responds with our own previously-form ed convictions, received from personal observations.. We are too little an expert in musical matters to rely very confidently on our judgment in such matters; but on ac count of the united testimony of those in whose opinions we have the fullest confidence, we unhesitatingly recom mend that instrument as altogether worthy of general favor. But we make no pretentions to critical pow ers in music, we still have our likes and preferences, and this instrument more nearly; answers to our tastes than any other we have heard. We like its tones and compass of sound, and its organ-like depths and flexibility. It seems to avoid at once the asthmatic wheezing of the old melodeons, and the reedy chattering of the harmoniums. In short it makes good simple and natural inusie, Buch as the uncultivated ear is pleased to listen to, and with which the partially disciplined voice may, readily unite; and both ear and DEDICATION. OBGAN, voice are cultivated by it. The size and form of the instrument are also in its favor, making it an elegant and-not cumbrous piece of parlor furniture. Its price too, ranging in these times of high prices down nearly to a hundred dollars ■ —though more elaborately constructed and highly ornamented ones cost much more—brings it within the reach of the many. These remarks, however, scarce ly apply to the large sized and finely finished ones, whose excellence in all things pertaining ,to an instrument of the kind would iustify much higher praise than we have given. We have written these things without solicitation from any one, and without the knowledge of those whose personal interests we may seem to favor. The interests of our readers is the object wo have sought especially to promote, and in that interest we have prosecuted our inquiries, and now we record our con victions. We write also in the interest of social-music, music for the family the school, the Sunday school, and the neighborhood church, where the instru ment is necessary to the maintenance of the most interesting portion of the de votional exercises—which with its ac companying good results is promoted by the use of a good instrument, but damaged by an inferior one. Other in struments of the same family may combine many of the good qaalities of the one we have named, but we com mend no other as in all points its equal; and believing that in such a case it is as much a matter of economy as of good taste to get the best,” we name only this one. —Hew York Christian Advocate and Journal.
