Assistant Bishop Stevens, - who, in the absence of Bishop Potter to the Pacific coast, occupied the chair, stated that, during the year, he had confirmed 1258 per sons, ordained 2 Deacons and 7 Presbyters, consecrated 2 churches, performed various other ministerial services, in the course of which he had travelled 8000 miles. Bishop Potter has been partially an invalid, but has performed considerable episcopal service. Horace Binney, Jr., Esq., proposed in the Convention a series of patriotic resolutions which were unanimously adopted. Among them is the following : "Resolved, That in the fact that a rebellion intended for the perpetuation of negro slavery is made to prepare the way for its speedy ex tinction, we recognize the special providence of the Most High, who causeth the wrath of man to praise him, and we acknowledge it of be the manifest duty of the Christian Church to labor for the instruction and elevation of the freedmen ' and of the colored race among us, that so they may be gathered into the fold of Christ, prepared for alltheir duties, and se: cured in all their rights as our fellow-men, descended from the common father and re deemed by the common Sayiour of mankind." We also notice in the proceedings two sig nificant items—one, the report of a committee on the subject of the ministration of Christian women, warmly approving the proposal and recommending the subject to the considera tion of the next General Convention; the other, the appointment of a committee to con sider the subject of restoring 'the office of Evangelist in the Missionary work. THE LATE FRATERNIZATION MOVEMENTS Is NEW YORK. —We have before noticed occasions on which a few highly esteemed rectors of Episcopal churches in Brooklyn and New York, have opened their churches for union meetings in which non-Episcopal clergymen, such as Drs. Vermilye, Budding ton, and others participated. This movement is now probably terminated in that diocese, by the official ban of the diocesan, Bishop Horatio Potter. The Bishop, in the course of a somewhat lengthy manifesto, maintains that for a Presbyterian divine to be allowed to ascend the pulpit of an Episcopal church to preach, is " a flagrant violation of the priu -ciples of our ch&ch, as interpreted by the general practice and the unvarying judgment of the great body of our divines, both Eng lish and American." In conclusion, he adds—the italics are our own : . "The church in her statement of princi ples and in her law makes it as clear as any truth ever can be made, that-shemeans to erect, and has erected, an effectual barrier between all within her fold and the official action o ministers of non-Episcopalbodies. For many" of those ministers, as individuals, I feel great respect and regard. I honor them for their talents and piety. With not a few of them I have lived- in private life in habits of most friendly intercourse. But I stnionglyapprove of the principles and law of tWithurch. I consider myself bound by her authority,-hav ing given my assent to it when tkeeame one 4 of her ministers ; and in my offici `''capacity, I know of no ministry outside ef: or field. METHODIST. A CHINESE METHODIST PREACHER.—Hu- Sing-Mi, a young Chinaman recently admit ted on trial by the Newark Mptklist Con ference, is the son of a mandariwof,the mili tary order, who, with several membeis ofltis family, had embraced the',Ohristian faith un der the teaching of the missionaries at Fuh chau. This young man oame to 'this country nearly three years ago, with Rev. Dr. Went worth, and remained. in New York for two years, pursuing such studies as it was then thought would best prepare him for the work to which his life is to be devoted. BAPTIST. NATIONAL ANNIVERSARIES. —Theßaptists have no nation ecclesiastical organization, but in place ther9of, the anniversaries of their national evangelizing societies are. so arranged as to bring together, once a year, leading ministers and laymen of the denomination. St. Louis was the place of this gathering , the present year. The meetings commence on the 18th ultimo, with the anniversary of the Home Mission Society. This was followed on succeeding days to the 23d, with those of the American and Foreign (denominational) Bible Society, the Publication Society, and the Missionary Union. The last is their agency for Foreign Missions, a department of evangelism in which the denomination has been largely earn.-t and successful. Mea sures were initiate' for merging the Bible with the Publicatiu,. Society. An interest ing debate took place on the general charac ter of Sabbath:school books, and the opinion prevalent was that, to •an alarming extent, they foster the novel-reading taste, destroy - the relish for solid matter, and incapacitate the mind for sound thought. As the result of the discussion, a committee was appointed to report next year on the subject of Sabbath school libraries. MINIS.ERIA.L CHANGES IN PENNSYLVANIA. —Rev. George Bowman has become the pastor of the Milesburgh and Bald. Eagle Church, and Rev. Silas Livermore, of the church in Solebury. Rev. J. H. Appleton is about to take the pastorate at Point Pleasant, Bucks County. Rev. Wm. Wilder is to be trans ferred from Upland, Delaware County, to the Olivet Baptist Church, Philadelphia. NEW CHURCH IN THE FAR SOUTH.-A new Baptist church, loyal we suppose, was or ganized in Fernandina, Florida, April 3. One hundred members were enrolled at the time of organizing, and twenty were added by baptism, a few days after. They have no pastor, and one is greatly neede,l. lIIISSKONARY A GREAT WORK COMPLETED.—We have befbre spoken of the approach toward com pletion of one of the greatest missionary works of the age—the full translation of the Scrip tures into the Arabic, a language in which, and only in which, they may be read by a hundred million people. The work Occupied eight years of the labor of the late Dr. Eli Smith, and since his death, eight years fur ther labor by'Dr. Van Dyck—both mission aries of the American Board, and eminently adapted to so important a service: Under date of Beirut, March 14, Rev. H. H. Jes sup rbports to the Board the account of an exceedingly interesting celebration of the com pletion of the work, .by a missionary and Christian company, English speaking and native, oh the premises of the mission press. In prayer, addresses and hymns they gave prise to God" for his favor thus extended to the millions sitting LI the region and shadow of death. It was the joyous inauguration of a new era of missionary effort in southwest ern Asia. KEIARPoOT, EASTERN TURKEY.—The re port from this place to the American Board says :—"` We rejoice, yea and will rejoice that, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached, and the knowledge of hillialvation spread abroad. But we chiefly rejoice that the word has apparently not been unfruitful. The twenty-nine additions to the two churches represent, as we hope, less than half of the :ood fruit ready to be gathered when we hear in churches in all the placeswhere convert EiElitZMliffiiiffilliiii ed men are to be found. We are happy to see that a good number, not only of the church-members, but of others also, are zeal ous in efforts to preach the gospel. In this city, and at eight out-stations, more or less persons go regularly, every Sabbath, on mis sionary labor to neighboring villages. In several cases the fruit of these efforts has been already seen." BAPTIST MISSION AT PROME, BUREIAH.- Under date of February 7, Dr. Kincaid an nounces the baptism of seven converts in his field in January last. Fifty or sixty seem near the kindom. There are many inquirers in three different districts, from twenty to sixty miles from Prome. NORTHWESTERN INDIA. - Rev. S. D. Hindman, in charge of the Episcopal Church has succeeded in obtaining froth the Gov ernment a rant of twelve sections of land, for his Christian Indians on the Minnesota River, where this mission was established before it was broken up by the Indian out break. HAYTI. —From Hayti we hear of a sAme what novel proceeding. At the Irst of a series of Wesleyan missionary meetings, held in the city of Cayes (160 miles from Port au-Prince), the chairman, - a native of Hayti, was a Roman Catholic. Cayes is inhabited by an entirely Roman Catholic community, and Hayti is bound by a concordat to Rome, yet the Wesleyan schools are full of Roman Catholic hearers. There is a widely extend ed leaven of Protestantism throughout the length and breadth of the Haytian repub lic. EGYPT—SCHOLARS FROM AFRICA.—Miss Dales, of the Egyptian Mission of the United Presbyterian Church, gives the following ac count of the reception of five boys from the interior of Africa into the mission school in Cairo :—" A wealthy lady from Holland, who had penetrated those dark regions, brought with her recently to Cairo, eight children, five boys and three girls, whom she regarded with very deep interest and desired to have educated. All the boys and two of the girls she placed in our mission schools, to be sup ported at her expense. L very much regret, however, to say that one of the eldest and most promising of the boys died a few days since of typhoid fever. It seemed mysterious that when he was just beginning to learn the way of life and his poor dark mind opening up to the reception of truth, he should be removed ; but God's ways are not as our ways, and `He doeth all things in wisdom, and well SCANDINAVIA.—The missions of the Meth odist Episcopal Church in Denmark, Nor way, and Sweden continue to spread, and to gather strength. The superintendent, Rev. C. Willerup, writes, under date of April 22, 1865: "The good work of the Lord is still advancing, and our people as a whole are, I believe, living to God ; the congregations con nue to be large and attentive, and we have also been cheered with some conversions lately, praised be God! The work is increas ing on our hands, many new fields are open ing for us, so that we need more ministerial help. GOOD NEWS FROM THE ZULUS. —Mr. Rood wrote, February 1, from Amanzimtote, "We have been enjoying a season of more than usual religious interest at this station, during the last month. Our meetings during the week of prayer, at the commencement of the year, were deeply interesting, and the daily prayer-meetings still continue, with much encouragement. A goodly number, more than twenty, have manifested deep serious ness, and professed an earnest desire to give themselves to the service of Christ. We pray that the good work may be greatly extended, and that many souls may indeed be brought into the_ kingdom of God." gr. Lindley wrote from hands, February "At our communion on the third Sabbath, of last month, we received into fellowship twelve' new members, one of them by letter. These additions, with the exception of one or two; are the result of a precious little revival with which'we were blessed some five months ago. —Herald. It was recently stated. that the Boston Councils had ordered the opening of the City Library on the Sabbath to visitors. We have now the satisfaction of adding that the order has been vetoed by the Mayor, and that the tide of public sentiment is setting in the same direction with the veto.—There are about 1000 native (Chinese) professing Christians in the various mission churches in and around Amoy.—Rev Messrs. Mandeville, of' New burgh, and West, of Brooklyn, N. Y., are taking the tour of the Southern cities, as a deputation from the Board of Domegtic Mis sions of the Reformed Dutch Church, with the view of enabling the Board to act intelli gently for the benefit of that field.—A union prayer meeting, held every Wednes day evening, in the lecture room of the Mid dle Dutch Church, continues to be well sus tained. Many hopeful - conversions in con nection with it have recently occurred. CLOTHING AND HEALTH AS AFFECTED BY IT. The third of the lectures on " Sanitary Science," now being given at the Grenville House. Working Men's Reading Rooms, Paddington Green, was delivered by Mr.._ John NortheY. The lecturer began by remarking upon the importance of the subject of clothing, and said as man was the only animal that had the power of clothing himself, it was necessary that we should clothe ourselves in the way best adapted to our circumstances. There were various kinds of clothing, and among them were cotton, linen, and wool. These had to go through many processes before they could be made fit for our use, and we'were much indebted to science for the great improvements it had enabled us to make in our manufactures, by which improvements so much time, labor, and material were economized. Cotton and linen were vegetable productions, the former being obtained from the pod of the cotton plant, and the latter from the stalk of the flax plant. Merino wool was the best, next came that obtained from Australian sheep and that obtained from English sheep. The low quality of the latter wool was to be accounted for by the fact that, in order to get good wool, we must allow the sheep to grow to a good age, and English farmers found it more to their interest to send their sheep to market when young. This wool was therefore used only for commoner goods, as worsted materials ; " Unions" were a mixture of different ma terials, but their use was undesirablet`as it had been found that in garments made of unlike materials electricity was generated, and the eating away of materials was the result. Cloth was obtained from wool, and of course the quality of the particular kind of cloth depended upon the quality of the wool and the style of manufacture. The best kinds could not be seen - through THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1865 ITEMS. Prat gummy. when held up to the light; they were soft to the touch, and had a very short nap ; were dyed blue, with indigo, before being dyed black with sulphate of iron, while the inferior kinds were first dyed with a decoc tion of walnuts. It was said that certain materials were warm, and that others were cold. This, in strictness, was not the case, as the warmth was in the body. Some ma terials allowed heat to pass along them quickly, and others slowly; therefore, ac cording to the conducting or non-conduct ing power of the material worn, so Would the heat of the body be carried off quickly or slowly, and thus the feeling of warmth or of coldness ; as the case might be, would be produced. Linen was a good conductor, next came cotton, and flannel was a bad conductor. Dark clothes were warmest, because heat was absorbed by them, while light colored clothes reflected it, and were therefore , colder. It was commonly supposed that waterproof clothing was injurious, but the injurious effect, if any, was certainly much less if the clothes were worn loose. With respect to the protection of the chest and back, the present style of waistcoats was open to much objection. The back, on account of the nearness of the lungs, re quired more protection than it received, and, therefore, in place of the thin material now employed, something warm should be used, and the front part should not be as open as it commonly was. Boots and shoes were very improperly made. The shape of the foot required that the inner edge of the sole should be nearly straight throughout, and that the toe end should be broad. High heels were very objectionable; mod erately thin soles were better than very stout ones, both as to economy and com fort; and the kind of boots called'-straights" should never be worn. ' In concluding his address, the lecturer made some telling remarks on the fashion of tight lacing, by which the ribs became compressed into a very small space, and the lungs have not room for the free expansion - necessary to health. The subject was made very interesting by sketches of the various processes con nected with the manufacture of cotton, linen, wool, silk, cloth, and flannel; by specimens of the kind of foot covering worn in different countries, and by an ex planation of the facts relating to the physi ology of the heart and circulation of the blood.—London Paper. HOW TO REPAIR A ROAD. The first requisite is to have a dry bed for the road. Without this, the super structure, of whatever material it may be composed, will soon become rough and un - - even. Some soils area naturally drained, and the gravelly subsoil thrown upon the surface and rounded a little makes as good a path as need be. Others need draining, and no amount of gravel upon the surface will make a good bed without it. We fre quently find bad places upon a hill-side where the water is always bursting out in rainy seasons. A three-inch tile-drain four feet deep just above these wet places would make them dry up permanently, and save a large expenditure every year. If tiles are not available, stones or wood should be used. There is no help for these mull holes but in draining the bed. A single 'dollar spent at the bottom is worth ten at ~ the top in gravel. Roads are so constantly in use and the prosperity of the farimeu so much depends upon them, that no pains should be spared to have, them of easy grade and as smooth as possible. All classes in the community are benefited by good roads, but the farmer most. All his s* plus crops must go over the road to market, and it makes a great difference with him in the course of the year, whether he be able to take a ton and a half at a load, or only half that quantity. Good roads ads. to the value of every acre he owns and'of every thing that he produces, to say nothing of their influence upon his manhood. They are a mark of the progress of civilization, and a pretty good index of the moral cul ture of a people. A team stuck in the mud, the snapping of the whiffle-trees and braces, the cursing and bad temper of the driver, show that " there is something rot ten in Denmark." The mud holes in the highway undo the work of the school-house and the church. There is an intimate con nection between the highways and the moral ways of a people. In mending either it is a very safe maxim to ." begin at the bottanz."---Anzerican Agriculturist. HOW TO KILL THE WORMS. Last spring I observed in the New York Observer, that petroleum, dropped on a cat erpillar nest, killed them. I fastened a rag to the end of a stick, and dipping the rag into petroleum, reached the nests r. nd let the oil drop into them. If twenty-four hours every caterpillar was dead. It did not require that the worms touched the oil,. for all were dead, and if you will take a smell of it, I think you will see why it is so destructive to insect and other life. I cut an old sheepskin, in wool, into strips an inch wide, soaked the strips in petrol leum, and wound them around three large plum trees, two feet from the ground, and nailed them on. I had five fine trees that in six years had flowered bnt not given me ripe fruit : cause, curculio. After this ap plication, thr.e.g tree?were loaded down with splendid ripe fruit, and the two that had no sheepskin strips every plumb was stung and dropped off. A. E.

PELIORIIIIi ' COLLEGIATE MIEN FOR YOUNG NORT WEST CORNER OF CHESTNUT and EIGHTEENTH STREETS. REV. CHARLES A. SMITH, D.D., This Seminary , has been in successful operation for several years at No. 1530 Arch street. A new locality has been selected, not only because it is more central in its relations to the most densely populated portions of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un usually large and airy, and admirably adapted to the purpose to which they are designed. To the present and former patrons of the school it is needless to speak of its advantages. To °them who desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches pursued, so that the scholar may understand the principle involved in every investigation. The classes are arranged in three departments:— Primary. Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa 'rate and ample accommodations for primary pupils, as well as for those belonging to the higher departments. All the departments are subject to the same discipline and general supervision. Circulars containing Course of Study, and other in formation, may be obtained at the Presbyterian House. 1334 Chestnut street; also, at 1226 Chestnut street, or address Box 2611, Post Offiee, Philadelphia.
