EPISCOPAL.
PENN.:NI VANIA DIOCESE.—The Annual
Con vsof tion of this Diocese was held in this city
I rcek befbre last. 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

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,

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.

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

the view of enabling the Board to act intelli
gently for the benefit of that field.—A

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

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.

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.
The next session will commence on MONDAY, Sep
tember 18th, 1865.
The rooms will be ready for examination about the
first of. September.

The scholastic year of ten months commences on
the FIRST TUESDAY—the 6th—of September next..
The corps of instructors is large; the course of-instruc
tion thorough and extensive, designed to fit boys and
young men for college or for the active duties of busi
ness in its various requirements. Students who design
entering Yale or Harvard College are especially in
vited to avail themselves of the tried advantages of
the school. Business men will take notice that the
modern languages—German, French and Spanish—
are taught by native resident teachers, who have no
connection with any other school. Two German gen
tlemen of superior ability and experience devote all
their time to the department of Vocal and Instru
mental Music. Major G. ECKENDORFF, assisted by
the Military Superintendent, has charge of the Mili
tary Department
