dingly exhort them to this work. The last evening was occupied with address es on the subject of this resolution, and also one on the reponsibilities of parents. Lisle was chosen as the place of the next stated meeting. Adjourned to meet at the call of the Moderator during the intervals of Synod at Syracuse. STATED CLERK. THE FIRST CHURCH ON PORTSMOUTH, OHio, enjoyed a precious season of refresh ing from the Lord during the months of March and April, the meetings closing on the first Sabbath of May, when fifty persons were publicly received -to the fellowship of the church, forty-five on profession of their faith, and five on cer tificate. The interest began without any extra meetings, under the ordinary preaching of the Word, during the latter part of February. The .work began among adults, and for two or three weeks was confined almost exclusively to them. Special services were then held for the children. The Pastor preached to them particularly, having them occupy the middle block of pews, while their parents and others occupied the other parts of the house. They were made the sub ject of special prayer, and soon they showed deep interest' in their soul's sal vation. The work embraced a large number of children of the church and Sabbath-school, and thus the lambs were gathered into the fold of the Good Shep herd.— Christian Herald. • WINCHESTER, ILLS.—The Presb. :Re porter speaks of a revival in this church which began in January last. " Nearly all of the impenitent persons who at tended the services' regularly, found the Saviour in the pardon of their sins. The church was much refreshed and edified. Sine() our first communion season, January first, we have added to our number twenty-five on examination, and ten by letter, and there are others still inquiring and waiting to join." Rev. W. A. Hendrickson; the pastor, acknowl edges the receipt of $lBO at a surprise visit. THE 'PRESBYTERY or SCHUYLER rnet April 21st at the old Mormon centre, Nauvoo. The Presb. Reporter says : " The ,town is beautiful, for situation—is now recovering from the wreck of Mor monism—is improving in appearance and wealth. The bills in and about the city are covered with beautiful vine yards. It is said 100,000 gallons of pure wine will be made there this year. There are a few little Protestant churches. The Catholics are most ntmerous. The Mormons, with Jo. Smith, Jr., as a leader or prophet, have a society and .hold regular worship. Our people wor ship in a very small and most uncom fortable school house." Of the meeting of Prebytery.it is said that " A judicial case gecupied, a great deal of the time, but the end was reached with great unanimity and good feeling. The only case of litigation during four teen years." REV. ABRAM BLAKELY AND FAMILY.- On the 19th December, Mr. Blakely died very suddenly in the city of New York, While engaged in raising funds for the erection of a church building in Law rence. He was an excellent man, and was cut down in the midst of his days and usefulness. His widow and four surviving children reside in Lawrence. One son was killed in battle in Coal Harbor, Va., June Ist, 1864, and an other died here in Lawrence but a few months before, of disease contracted in the army. The two oldest daughters are conducting a school in this place ; it is meeting with great success, and uni versal approbation. This church—called " The First Pres byterian chum!: in Lawrence, in connec tion with the Kansas Presbytery"— have secured three very eligible lots for church buildings, including the church proper, a parsonage, and a building partly for religious and partly for educa tional purposes. This latter is in pro cess of erection, is 36x27 feet, two stories, and of stone ; the upper story is to be for the Misses Blakely's school ; the lower for religious purposes.—Pres. Reporter. WOMEN AND HOME Missroxs.—The Permanent Committee of Home Missions in California have lately received an ap plication for aid—concerning which there is the following story ; we give it in the wordii of the pastor : " For the last two years we have been very much behind in the matter of salary. . . This year, finding things moving in their usual tardy manner, I called a meeting of the Society—which recognizes the right of women to vote like men, when they pay pew-rent like men—and read them the history of our church enter prise, including the tardy movements for the last few years ; and asked them to, choose a committee to emply a minister. . . . The majority of the committee was composed of men. In a week the So ciety met according to adjournment to hear the report of the committee. No thing decisive had been done. Upon this, •the women rose up and cast all the men out of the committee—chose the ladies whose names appear upon this application, made collections for the salary, and brought matters nearer up to the mark than they have been for three years at least. There is now a prospect of our seeing daylight in our financial matters." We do not think Paul could ever have had just such a case in his mind, when he wrote to Tim othy " I suffer not a woman to usurp authority over the man." If he had had such women, his hands would not so often have been. obliged to minister to his own necessities.—lbid. P=D, IND.—At the annual church meeting, the salary of the pastor, Rev. Francis S. McCabe, was raise from $l,OOO to $1,500 per annum. Tun REV. L. R. ERBER, of Austin, Nevada, has taken c harge of the church of Santa Clara, formerly supplied by the Rev. J. A. Skinner. Mr. Webber was obliged to relinquish his work at Austin in consequence of the continued ill health of his wife. We regret to learn that during their journey from Austin, their only child, a daughter, not quite two years of age, sickened and died at Car son City.— The Pacific. NEW HOPE CHURCH, IND.—Six per sons were received into this church at the last communion. This church is five miles from Peru; it is the result of five or six years' gratuitous labor by the pastor of the church in Peru. It has a membership of thirty persons, a new, neat, and comfortable house of worship, finished and paid for, costing over $1,000; a good Sabbath-school and prayer-meeting ; and a large, regular, and in every way interesting congrega tion.— Christian Herald. RtV. W. C. SMITH, late of East Sag inaw, Michigan, has taken charge, of the Presbyterian Church of Huntington, In diana. COLLEGE RECORD, RUTGER'S COLLEGE, NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.—The commencement exercises were held on the 20th and 21st inst. On the morning of the 20th the corner stone of a new observatory building was laid with appropriate ceremonies, including an address by Professor Murray. In the afternoon the oration before the Alumni Association was delivered by Rev. Paul D. Van Cleef, of Jersey City. The commencement proper took:place on the 21st. Thee degree of A. B. was conferred upon thirteen young gentle men, and diplomas of special course On three. The Master's degree in' course was conferred upon twenty4hree ; the same ex gratia upon five who, toy tierviee in the war, failed of the regular course. 'Honorary degrees were bestowed as fol lows: L.L. D.—Theodore Cupler, Esq., of Phila. ; Hon. Mercer Beasley, Chief Justice; of N. J., and Hon. Erastus C. Benedict, of N. Y. D.D.—Rev. Thomas C. Porter, of Lancaster, Pa., Rev. John C. Eccleston, of Newark, N. J., and Rev. John L. Lee. UNIVERSITY OF THE CITY OF NEW CITY.—The Annual Commencementtook place on the 22d inst. The exercises are said to have been decidedly brilliant, particularly the orations of the candi dates for degrees, some of which caught their inspiration from the prevalent tone of the times. Nine only were graduated as A. 8., and seven in special course. The Master's degree in course was con ferred upon ten former graduates. The degree of L.L. D. was conferred upon Edward H. Owen, Esq., of New York; that of D.D., upon Rev. Wm. Marshall, of Scotland ; Rev. Wm. Roberts, Rev. Thomas S. Hastings, and Rev. Cornelius R. Duffy, of New York; Rev. Frank F. Ellinwood, of Rochester, New York, and Rev. Andrew Stevenson, of Astoria, Long Island. Rev. B. F. Stead was the orator for the Alumni. SURRENDER OF GALVESTON.—Under date of June 23d, Secretary Stanton promulgates officially the following intelligence :—" On the sth of June full and formal possession of Galveston was rendered up to the United States forces and the flag of the Union. raised. On the Bth of June Admiral Thatcher went ashore, and was cordially received by the rebel naval and military authorities who requested a part of the United States naval force to remain there for their protectien. Galveston is before this time strongly gar isoned by United States land forces sent for ward by General Canby. General Sheridan is also probably there in person. The Presi dent's proclamation raising the blockade will be immediately issued." The proclamation above alluded to appeared on Saturday. After proclaiming the blockade rescinded, the President adds :—" The greater or less subversion of civil authority in the region to which it applied, and the impract cability of at once restoring that due effici ency may, for a season, make it advisable to employ the army and navy of the United States towards carrying the laws into effect whenever such employment may be neces sary. ALABAMA PROVIDED WITH A PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR.—The President, on the 21st inst., issued a proclamation for the reorganizatien of civil government in Alabama, of the same character with those heretofore issued for other States, and appointed Judge Lewis E. Parsons as Provisional Governor. The ap pointment has excited some surprise, from the fact that Judge Parsons was an original secessionist. It is, however, said, in explana tion, that full faith exists at Washington m his honest acceptance of the new order of things, and that he can exert a great influence in bringing Alabama slaveholders to acquiesce in it. A SPUNKY SUICIDE.—Edmund Ruffin, who fired the first gun upon Fort Sumter, blew out his brains with a gun, on the 17th instant. The mad deed was done at his own residence, near Mattoas. depot, on the Richmond and Lynehburgh Railroad. He left a memoran dum, giving as a reason for it, that he took death in preterence to living under the Go vernment of the United States. Mr. Ruffin is the only man who, so far, has met his own protestations of death before submission without showing the white feather. RIOT ON STATEN ISLAND. —A serious dis turbance took place near Tompkinsville, S. 1., on the 21st instant, in which a number of persons were injured—one probably mortally —by shot and stones. It occurred during the reception of a returning regiment raised on the Island, (N. Y. 133 d.) The immediate occasion of it was a small rumpus gotten up between a few soldiers of another regiment then on the island and some citizens. Rum was at the bottom. THE Congregational Council, at Boston, closed its sessions on Saturday last. A letter from our correspondent will appear in our next issue. • THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1865.
