BISHOP HOPKINS,
A PEN AND INK PORTRAIT
In the EpisoPp a stl church some sharp
feeling has arisen on the•snbject of the
Jivision of the larger dioceses. Bishop
Hopkins, of Vermont, with the organ
t' his diocese, the Church Journal, has
fainifested a very peculiar interest in
,',e affairs of Pennsylvania, a thing
ashy accounted for when certain mani
,itoes of the lastyear are remembered.
rho Episcopal Recorder, of this city,
cry happily suggests to the Brshop
:tnd his Journal to begin at home and:
try the divisive experinient on the Ver
mont diocese. The point in thls tang
tTestion consists in the fact that though
no cause for divisions exists in the
unwieldinoss of the diocese, well
known that nothing could' more
acceptable to a number of its clergy
and parishes, than the change of ""a
diocesan. In the courge of thelollow
ing extract from the Recorder, occurs
about the most spicy and true sketch
of the Vermont prelate's temperament
which we have seen:
It would be peculiarly easy to call up
such an agitation in Vermont. We do
not suppose that there is an instance on
record t among men -personally amiable
and blameless, where ,there has been
such perverse aptivitsr in arousing oppo
sition, as in tie case .of • the Bishop ot
Vermont. With a bland zest which
exhibited hiS Irish blood . in its finest
style of genial pugnacity, , he has flung
himself into every struggle byy,wkich
either Church or State has been con
vulsed. *here the frafiva,s, teas

and spoken with learningand strength
—but so promiscuously, that, ,hy,,thia
time there is scarcely a person in der-'
moot upon whom the Bishop has not
pounced. When the fife sorendecl, in he - :
rushed. It might be Native ,A.mpri
canism and the encroachment,. of. 'the
Pope; it ,might be Paseyism or anti-
Puseyism, Puritanism or anti-Paritan-.
ism—there he was, robes and all, the
most lively of all. The Church in Ver
mont may well have shrunk up`aghast
at this spectacle of a diocesan whirling
in and out of every turmoil, carrying
with him EpiscoPaoy, as if it were part
of himself, and dealing around blows
with a freedom which the reserved New
England character can neither under
stand nor forgive. If incapacity of a
Bishop to appreciate the popular mind
—if an ungovernable Episcopal propen
sity to plunge the Church into the chat
dron where polit eat rancor destroys all
that it permeates—if this be a ground
for slicing a . diocese away . , there never
was so strong a case as Vermont. It
woald be hard to find a Bishop more'
kindly, more eloquent, more qUick at
controversy than Bishop -Hopkins; but'
it would scarcely be possible to hit on
any one who would not be more effective
in reconciling non-Episcopalians to the
Church.
SOUTHERN EVANGELIZATION.
We take the following passages from a
paper on this subject, adopted at the
late meeting of the Synod of Cincinnati
of our branch. They are followed by
reasons why the present, with all the
Booming embarrassments, is, the proper
time for entering upob the work,
"But we are under higher obligations
than those of patriotism, as imperative
as they are, to give the gospel to every
ono in the south. As Christiabs our
great business,is to spread the news of
the advent, death , and resurrection of
Jesus; beginning like the disciples of
old at Jerusalem. If we fail through
lack of zeal, or the spirit of self-saeri.-
flee to proclaim salvation to our brethren
and own countrymen,
,wp entirely fail to
obey our Lord. In thiS work - the peo
ple of the North will not be alone.
Many in the South will unite with us,
with the greatest heartiness in spread
ing the light of the gospel everywhere
throughout this fairest part of our do._
main.
We must show the people of the South
too, that in destlvying their•armies, we
are not actuated by a malevolent spirit,
but by a sense of stern duty, akin to
that which leads God to pour out His_
wrath upon those who rebel against His
government. We must make it mani- ,
fest that judgment is our strange work,
and that mercy is our delight. If the.
North shall show a willingness to give
but a tithe of the treasure and precious
lives for the evangelization ,of the South,
that it has given for sustaining the 'go
vernment, how glorious will be the re
sults I If necessity has been laid upon
us to do a wark of destruction, still
stronger is the necessity beginning
already to be laid upon us to do a work
of salvation.
In precisely what ways this spreading
of Christian light in the South,is to be
effected, may not yet clearly appear.
if we are ready to do the work, and to
follow God's lead, His Spirit and provi
dence will direct

learned in this war, if neVer before, that
the foolishness of God is wiser . than the
wisdom of men. In all moral move.
ments, they work successfully, who
study and fall in with God's plans, in
stead of constructing their own. The
two agencies for the spread of the truth,
will ever be the written word and the
living preadber. God will direct in what
modes these • instruments are to he fur
nished andiused. One thing is essential,
that the work be done thoroughly. In.
order to this, there must be some sys•
tern, so that no waste lAces shall. 6;

corrupt, should not be thrust aside. ~If
these organizations reject the pure Gos

example of Paul, when he was rejected,
by the Jewish synagogues. But to a
great extent, new organizations will
need to be formed. New institutions
of learning will be, founded, and the
pervaded with a new life. •
In evangelizing the South, every class
must be reached--:-the rich, the poor,
the white, the black. EspeciallY must
the Gospel be given to the poor, what
ever their ,color. This is bat carrying
out the'spirit of, the Gospel and the ex
ample of Christ. They constitute the
most hopeful class. The poor andrade

is done, our national troubles will never

DOGS AND DOG LAWS,
A series of articles under this bead
has been published. in _HoOre's Rural
New Yorker. The writer has gone into
extensive and careful statistics of the
injuries suffered by farmers from dogs,
setting them over against the . Alleged
benefits of canine, existence, And has
given, a running synopsis of the different
State laws in refercnce to them. In the
last number the, series is concluded with
the following suggestions :

The silly prejudice that allows dogs to

destroy his sheep r while enacting laws
to restrain sheep from wandering from
their owner's pasture, is.rapidly giving;
way to a common sense that would
make restraint equal and just. •. .
In most of the States are certainpro
visions of a just law upon the subject,

penalty attached to, pegleet in enforce
ment, render tikein partly inoperative,
or wholly inefficient. In Pennsylvania
there is, practically, only a threat held
over the heads of the dogs, for which
they seem to care very little; in Maine,
each separate township has the option
to ratify or unlify the general law—a
n on-co mniittali sm that is far worse than
no law; in Ohio, dogs are instructed
that it is linlawful for them to run at
large at night, but their owners are
held to no proper responsibility for
their effective.. restraint; and in most.
other States some radical defect exists.
Massachusetts has the- best lap - , It
taxes dogs - from two to Ave Onllfkrs,each ;
owners are made responsible, under
heavy penalty, for their registry and
taxation.; assessors, must.make accurate
lists, and evasions of the listing are
heavily fined.; refusal or neglect of
officers to execute, the law incurs a`
penalty' of one hundred dollars . ; ,and
untaxed dogs are killed without merby,
and district, attorneys .are required to
'irosecute officers whoneglect to destroy

Such a law, or one more guarded and
efficient still, should be' On the statute
book of every State.
INTERESTING TO 41,1AE13,5.
At a recent meeting of the American
Farmers' Club, held in - New , York, the
following interesting subjeCts,._among
others were discussed. We copy froin
report in Tribune:—
CRBRAY,QR CEDAR -BIRDS.-S. R. Dunn
Woburn, Mass., thinks that cedar-birds
have kept his fruit-trees clear of worms
for several years. They come in flocks
as soon as the worms appear.
This letter aroused Dr. Tremble the
entomologist of New Jersey, an enthu
siast upon the subject of .protecting
birds, and particularly this one, called
Cedar, or Cherry bird, because he con
siders it one of the most valuable la
borers - upon the- farrn,A:orcharcl or gar
den. He has paid great attention to
the subject the past summer—has shot
and disseated severe,l at different periods,
and found their stomachs filled with
worm's. In one he counted the remains
of thirty-sis of the destructive kind
known as the -canker worms. fie has
watched the parks in this city and
found that upon wet days when hut few
persons were there, Cedar-birds came
in flocks to feed upon the span worms,
which, are such a nuisance every year,
and he is of opinion that if the parks
were closed for some weeks, at the
proper season, the birds would soon
abate the nuisance. When the worms
first appear, would be the proper time,
for then it takesa much larger number
PHILADNLIIIIIA,T4,:!JRSISAY, DECEMBER 8,, 1864.
to satisfy They feedlipiin theta - ,
however, in all stages of their existence,
even after they are wrapt up in their
cocoons. These birds never have theii
young until worms .:are ,abundant. It is
true that later, in the season ,they.eat
'few cherries, for which they.are 'shot,
and in Autumn' we see - long strings of
them 'exposed for sale in the city mar
kets. This should be utterly prohibited.
They should be protected in every pos
sible way, and so should all the class of
insectivorious birds, particularly the
three warblers of Wilson and the Bobo
link.
Rey. 31i. Weimer asked the doctor to
describe the Cedar-bird, as we now•have
many in the city which resemble, the .
Canary .birds, only larger. Some call`
`them English Sparrows. Are they the
Cedar-birds or Sparrows ? -
Dr. Trimble said they , were neither.
The Cedar-bird had a high tuft on its
head, and they-ends.-of wing \and tail
featherd appear as tipped with Wit%.
They are very beautiful as Well `lts val.

In lot No. 26, on which is situated the Km.-

is acknowledged to be one of the.best producing
farms in the whole region. •
The following remarks Are taken from the
financial columns of. the Philadelphia Press,
of Nov. 16th, 1864.
"The excitement in oil stocks is still in
thilifiees-cirsonte of the 'produc
ing companies have materially advanced. We
notice the cOmpanies, situated en the Hyde
and Egbert„•farm; which is situated on Oil
Dreek, having , rapidly; advanced' within the
last few - days. This is owing to some large
wells having been lately struck on this pro
perty, one flowing about a thousand barrels
per day, and one flowing - two hundred barrels per
day. The entire 'yield of Okla farm is now
between fifteen hundred and two thousand
barrels per day, and some of the companies
located on the "Maple Stade,) "Hyde Farm,"
"Rock," " Egbert' and "Mineral,"_have had
their incorrie.s' doubled by the above new. wells,
going down on their farm, on, one of which
the-largest oil crevice yet. found is, said to
have been struck."
. ,
One-seventh (1-7) working interest in two
acres and eighteen perches on Cherry Run, on
which is situated the
. REED WELL,
now producing,some 310 barrds per day. This
wellOs one of the most reliable, and has been
daily, increasing., and the striking it Ims proved
the ftia that 'Cherry Run property is among
the most rellabre and productive in the oil re
gion. , •
The entire land interest in 12 acres, on Cher
--ry Run, about tbree-fourtha of mile above
the Reed Well. This:property is well located,
being all bureable, - and. FIVE WELLS ARE
BEING: DRILLED ON. IT, TWO OF
WHICH. ARE NEAR: COMPLETION, and
according:to the leases granted, FIVE MORE
WELLS ARE TO BE COMMENCED ON
THE PROPERTY WITHIN ONE HUN
DRED DAYS FROM NOV. 1, 1864. This
nterdOtxpEppo4.d.tOlncrease the yield of the
Company to a large amount.
VI.
Forty, • acres, in fee simple, on Cherry Run
above the;l2 acres owned by the Company.
'On the adjciining farms, great activity now
- exists, derricks being erected and wells
drilled. .Two derricks are now being erected,
and the deVelopment of this property will be
preseciitecl Vigorously. !.
The following extracts are from an editorial
of the •PUBLIC LEDGER, November 28,
1864.
g One of the most remarkable features about
the present oil excitement is that, while the
territory =known to possess oil, is so rapidly
extending in area, the older settled, portion,
where most oil has been drawn off, is daily
rising in price. The price, too, of the oil is
higher than ever, being eleven dollars and a
half per barrelat the wells now. Yet,all around
Oil. Creek new areas have been added_of far
greater extent than, those before known. The
whole ofCherry run may be said to have come
into the market, since the beginning of the
year, and is now considered the most valuable
territory, anywherkto•• be, found. Wells are
supposed never to fail on it." •
The. Company are now receiving from the
producing interests, fifty four (54) barrels of
Oil daily, which will enable them to pay a
handsome and prompt dividend on its capital;
also an interest in eighteen wells in various sta
ges of .eompletion. Two on Alleghany River,
from which they Will receive half the Oil; three
on McOLINTOOX FARM, from which they
will receive one-eighth the Oil; FIVE ON
CHERRY RUN, half the Oil; TWO ON
CHERRY RUN. all the Oil; and SIX ON
THE HYDE AND EGBERT FARM.
If these wells have but the usual success,
the production to the' . Company will be in
creased to a large amount within the next
ninety days.
$25,000. will be retained in' Treasury foi the
purpose . of developing the 'Janda of the pom
