The Olivet Church, Philadelphia.
—The new Olivet Presbyrerian Cburch
on the corner of Mt. Vernon and Twenty,
second Streets, is now in the bands of
the Trustees and everything within is
ready for the furnishing.
The lights are already set in the ceil
ing, the furnaces are being |>uilt, and
contracts are closed and the work under
way for the upholstering, carpeting and
pulpit furniture.
John A. Brown, Esq., has pledged a
donation of $5,000, provided $5,000 ad
ditional shall be raised, to enable the
congregation to enter the Sanctuary free
from debt. Of,the additional $5,000, about,
$1,500 are secured, and the people are
actively at work to raise the balance.
So large and imposing a Church, with
a congregation so persevering as thishas
proven itself will be an important acqui
sition to our denomination and to the
cause of Christ, in that beautiful portion
of our city.
Results of Rev. Mr. Hammond’s
Labors in Philadelphia.— A private
note to Mr. Hammond from one of his
co-workers in this city,’gives the follow
ing encouraging and pleasing account of
the results of* his labors in one of our
city churches, , - ,
My Bear Sir:—l thought it might be v
pleasant for you to hear some report of the
results of your labor of love in our church.
At our last communion we received eleven
persons to our fellowship upon profession of
their faith, five of whom spoke of your
preaching as being the cause under God of
their awakening; Of the twenty five admit
ted upon examination -at- the previous'6om
mumon, I think jv&niay count six or ssven or
m £ r ? a ® M l 6 fruits o£ your labors,, among
whom was my eldest fourteen years
At our last communion, the second Sab
bath in August, we received the little, boy
ot whom perhaps you remember I wrote you,
atone of yourfiteetttfes in the —— Church.
About a week after he found the Saviour he Was
taken very sick,’-and we thought he must die.
Ihe day Lsent ypn the note I, thought he
could not live till night. But God has raised
him up. May it' not' be' for service ‘ either
great or small for Him ? So we will hope
and pray. v
-Leave read with great interest-your letters
to, and talks with, the children in the Af
rican Presbyterian, and with peculiar rel
ish, your account of your steiihboat trip from
Boston away up North. May- you be thus
invigorated anq prepared for a good fall and
winter campaign in the service of the Master.
We have not yet gathered in all the frhit
which limy ripen frotn the seed sown by you.
As we gather it >in I may write you again.
The children speak lovingly of you and seem
to delight in singing of Jesus the little songs
which you learned them. I hear them often
in the streetß, <

Dedication and Installation at
Minnesota.—A Presbyterian
church w&B organized in this place, ten
years ago, under the labors of Rev. Jas.
Thompson. It then consisted of seven
teen persons. After passing through a
series’ of'vicissitudes, but all the while
gradually acquiring strength, they are
at length in possession of a new and
beautiful church edifice, which was pub
licly set apart for Divine service on the
- inst. The sermbn was preached by
Rev. Thomas Marshall, a "young minis
ter sent out by Dr. Adams’ Church, New
who has for some time past been
laboring with them, and who carried
with him to their help a bounty of $ 1 dOO

labors, there has been added, to the
membership, witMA‘the last six months,
twenty-five persons—fifteen of them on

erect a new church edifice, has at length
completed a noble, first-class building,
which was, dedicated with interesting
public- services on Sabbath the 17 th

walls were up, the roof put on, and some
progress made in the inside work, was
burned during the progress of the Sani

Presbytery ok Madison, Ind.— We
take .froni the Christian Herald the fol
lowing,items fromsthe report ofthemeet
of this body held on the 12th and 13th.
of the present month:—For .publication'
only $47 was collected during the year;
instead of the much larger amount which
ought to have been raised.,The Foreign
Mission collections were $751. To Home
Missions we gave $643, receiving back
for our own weak churches $4BO of the
amount. To the latter ■ _canse, all the
churches, save one, nearly dead, contrib
uted. For a part of our vacant churcheß,
the arrangement was made that two of
the. ministers should visit each,; and
preach to the people for two weeks. Two
young men, one of them Mr. W. T. Hart,
onr own' licentiate; the other, Mr. H. P.
Higley, from Rutland Association, Yt.,
were ordained to the gospel ministry, as
evangelists. Mr. Hart goes to the Pres
bytery of Huron. • Mr. Higley is preach
ing at Wevay, within our own bounds.
The Presbytery of Monroe (Mich.)
held it& semi-annhail meeting' at More'nci,
commencing on the evening of the sth
inst. The Opening sermon was'preached •
by Rev. E. N. Nichols, who- was also
elected moderator. Reportsfrom'churclies
were’ on the whole very favorable. There
are but two vacant churches within the
boimdS'of the Presbytery; and they are
looking for a pastor. They will each
furnish a pleasant field 'and support to a
man who desires to engage'in the Mas
ter’s service. Rev. Geo. Duffield, Jr.,
and also Rev. S. W'. Duffield, were trans
ferred to the Presbytery ot Knox. The
subject of temperance called out more'
than usual interest. Arrangements were
made, we are glad to note, for a confer
ence-of all elders of the churches, at
some suitable'time and place;this fall;
the object, of which meeting is; Sprayer,

labors under this difficulty: outside pressur'd;

ing from prejudice, or a want of being accus
tomed to such in former associations of the
church. ’ ’ _ The subject underwent" a‘ pretty
earnest discussion-in the late meeting of the
above-named Presbytery of that connection,
after which the following resolutions were
adopted:—
1. This Presbytery look on social prayer
meetings as eminently conducive to the
frowtiu-and prosperity ofreligion and the
eqpingjup ofa spirit ofbrotherly-loyeamong
members of the church, add earnestly exhort
congregations in their care to give diligence
m maintaining these in life and vigor.
2. That we regard Sabbath-schools as an
excellent means of instilling religious truth
into the minds of children, especially of those
who have no other means of instruction, and,
do hereby urge upon our congregations the
duty of establishing and maintaining such
schools in their midst.
Reunion.— At a late meeting of the Pres
bytery ot Madison, Indiana, resolutions were,
offered and adopted, looking toward the union
of the two churches of Lancaster, (O. S.)
and Monroe, (Nv ‘‘S.;)' which are ‘situkted
within one-half mile of each other, and a com
mittee was appointed, consisting of Dr. J.
Wood, Dr. G. D. Archibald, and Elder W. P.

the New School Presbytery of MadisOn,-as j
to the practicability of such a union i and, if
practicable, to aid in its consummation.

Save, a week or two since, a passing lotice of
the fact that the Presbytery of Coni maugh,
lti connection with the United Pres lyterian
Church, had taken judicial notice of a' viola
tion of the rules of that Ohurch’by lev. D.
Blair. We findin the Presbyterian Banner
afulkr account of the matter, as fol ows :
is the father and pioneer ol the U.
P. Church in that region, and has labored
forty-nine years in the ministry.; The offence
charged against him was sitting dowi at the
lord’s table in the O. S. Presbyterian kshuroh
of India. Mr. Blair acknowledged the fact.
The Presbytery labored hard tobring the old :
gentleman to see the error of his ways; but
he remained unconvinced. Presbytery then
entertained, and discussed for nearly a whole
day, a resolution to suspend Mr. Blair from,
the mimstry and communion of the Church.!
Without any evidence of relentings ,on the
,prat of Mr. Blaiiv the'resolution wai fiMlly
amended and substituted,‘that Mr. Blair'de
. seryed ap admonition !. . Borne one suggested
that the.adinonition should be deferred till the

serious loss to myself and? the publib, I’am happy to
verify the old adage that “ It’s an ill wind that blows
nobody anv good,” and consequently congratulate 1
yon that tout well-known. Safes have again demons

time ago was ui the office of the Museum, ori the
second floor, back part of th‘e- building, and in the
hottest of the fire. After.. twenty four 'hours of trial
it was found among the debris, itedhn-opening it this

The Herring Safe used in the'office of our ware

of the Bth instant, was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will' ever'-be subjectedin any fire—
so intense that the brass knobs, and the mountings of
the 'exterior of same were melted off, and the whole
surface scaled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the'eonfents—bookkand
papers—were found to be entire and-nninjured. . »
This Safe is now on,exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh-Street, with the hooks and 1 papers sttil> re

Look o'er the feshiens which old pictures show,
As the) prevailed some fifty years ago;
At least that phase of fashion which conveys
.Hints of those instruments of torture— stays*:
And then compare the old, complex machine,
"With tb#t which in these modem days is seen
Ho more a/ steel and whalebone is the chest,
Or side, o» liver, terribly compressed;
Ho more are curving ribs, or waving spine.
Twisted ud tortured out of Beauty's line
For skill and 'donee both unite to show
How much tf r ealth to dress do women owe.
In Msb. Cobsetb, ladies find
The laws of Health with Fashion'a taste combined
Supporting equally each separate party
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart;
And no injurious ligature ia placed
To mar the flexure of the natural waißt;
Their litis: certain —and, what's sure *o please,
In all positions there is perfect sate;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and hot repressing every charm;
'lrregularities otshape they hide.
Bo that by none can sligtft defects be spied.
While e’en a figure, which is understood
As being “bad,” may by their help seem good:
And matrons wearing them a boon will gain.
Their early symmetry they'll long retain.
Insuring comfort, graoe, good health, and ease,
These Shkkjcait Corsets cannot fell to please;

For then all others ,thoy mutt supersede; *
