Sankey, of Rochester, we are gratified to hear, is succeeding in a re markable manner in building up a large con gregation in that city, having in fifteen months admitted over seventy-three members to the church. We trust his labors may be blest yet more abundantly. —Un. Presbyte rian. Revivals in the South.--In the Southern religious papers there are notices of revivals. in various parts of the Church. The Rev. H. C. Alexandervcs 'an account of an in teresting work of d graCe in the church at Liberty, Virginia. In Middle Tennessee, in the churches of Murfreesboro', there has been a revival, and in the Hopewell and Stone River churches, which have brought in a large number of converts to these churches. The last number of the Central Presbyterian contains the following: — " The Rev. C. F. Williams, of Columbia, Tennessee, writes : The result of my meeting lust closed at Zion Church, (Presbytery, of Maury), has been considerably over one hundred white and colored members added. The churches every where in this region are being wonderfully revived. To God be all the praise." In Bowling Green, Kentucky, between twenty five and thirty persons have joined the Pres byterian Church, as the results of a, revival in that place."--Presbyterian. The Declaration and Testimony.—This famous document, issued at Louisville, Ky., and approved by the Presbytery of Louis ville, has received the signatures of sixty persons, ministers and ruling elders, in the State of Missouri, and thirty-three persons, ministers and elders, in other Synods, chiefly in Kentucky. The Rev. Dr. J. G. Hamner, and the Rev. H. L. Singleton, of the Pres bytery of Baltimore, have signed this papei. Interesting Close of a Long Pastorate. —At a late meeting of Logansport, Indiana O. S.) Presbytery, Rev. E. W. Wright, D. D., the oldest pastor and last remaining pioneer of the Presbytery, received, at his own request, a dismission from the church in Delphi. His object in making the request, was to make a change in his field of labor, rendered imperative by greatly impaired health. At the same meeting, the unanimous call of the church for his eldest son, Rev. W. S. Wright, to become his successor in the pastoral office, was laid before Presbytery, and put into 'the hands of the pastor elect. Week of Prayer.—The present (last) week is one of special prayer and conference by the Presbyteries in the Synods of Alle gheny, Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Ohio, and also in many of the churches. Deep earnest ness, more than usual tenderness, and an earnest longing for the gracious outpouring of the Holy Spirit, are beginning to manifest themselves in manyplaces, and among differ ent denominations of Christians. These are favorable symptoms, for which we should thank the King and , Head of the Church, and be encouraged to prayer, and ac tivity in the Master's service. The need of a revival is fully acknowledged : we all feel it. May God in his mercy open the windows of heaven and bestow upon us this great bless ing.—Presbyterian Banner. Death in the Ministry.—The Presbyter of the 6th inst contains the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. R. W. Wilson, pastor of the church of Bloomingburg, in the Presby tery of Chillicothe, which, it says, occurred about Monday or Tuesday of last week, after an illness of several months. He was, like his predecessor at Bloomingburg, Rev. Wm. -Dickey, emphatically "a man full_of faith and of the Holy Ghost," and through hisiii- strumentality " much people were added unto the Lord." New Presbyterian College in Ireland.— Magee College, at Londonderry, an institution which has been established for educating young men for tite ministry in connection with the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, has been formally opened. There was a great gathering of ministers and laymen on the oc casion, and Dr. Russel l the Moderator of the General Assembly, delivered a long and able address. Odd.—The Presbytery of Saltsburg, (0. 5.,) in Western Pennsylvania, ,recently adopted, a series of resolutions, ten in num ber, giving in detail the objections they had to the proposed addition of a fourth year to the usual seminary term at Princeton. The first of these is, that what is done for one seminary must in fairness be done for all the rest. The last one is:—" Tenth. Because in Princeton, where it is proposed to initiate the lengthened process, the air of loyalty to the Church is so extremely diluted as to make it hazardous to breathe it for a lodger time than three years."' Items.—The house of worship of the Union Presbyterian Church in Bethel, Pa., was con- Burned by fire on the night of October 16th. —Rev. Dr. Paxton has declined the Se cretaryship of the 0. S.

S.) on the 4th MR., installed Ray. W. W. Campbell, pastor of the Seventh' Street Church, in Washington City.—The Synod of Southern lowa, (0. S.) at its late meeting, resolved, that the Sab bath-school being an aid to the Church, and not an independent agency, should -be under the direct control and supervisiodof the Ses sion of the Church. The Synod also insisted upon the use of the Assembly's CatechiSmain the Sabbath-schools. CONGREGATIONAL. Good and I Faithful Service.—Rey. Israel W. Putnam, at the expiration of thirty years of service, as pastor of the Congrega tional Church in Middleborough, Mass., and near the eightieth year of his age, retired from th? active duties of the pastorate on the lat inst. As a well-deserved mark of respect, a public meeting was held in the church. It was largely attended, and the services were a fitting expression of the firmly established love subsisting between pastor and people, and the appreciation by the latter of the faithful and f'ruitful ministry of the former.. The congregation does.not consent to the dis mission of Dr. P., but will seek for him some Vigorous associate, and keep him in emeritus standing. The Way To Do It.—The young and flour ...isking_Tabernacle Church in Jersey City, has Yeeentlk made a subscription of nearly $l4OO, . 4T ifor Oa American Missionary Association. Taking into account the age, wealth, and THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1865. numbers of the church, we know of none that has done better. But this result was not accomplished without wise effort. First, the pastor, Rev. J. M. Holmes, consulted his wealthiest men, and secured their liberal pledges. Second, the hearts of the people were warmed by having,.the remarks and sup plications at the weekly prayer-meeting directed to this subject. Third, a sermon on the following Sabbath was preached by the pastor, and a colledtion taken up. And, last, absentees were noted and called upon.— Con gregationali.st.

The following statement was made by the successful applicants for the premium Offered by tlie Kennebec, Me., Agricultu ral Society, for the best experiment in the use of muck : ." Tbe following is the method I practise in the preparation and use of muck on my term in "in:lair-op, 'and which I find very beneficial. By thus composing it, lin my dressing two-thirds more than I could have without it, and I think it so 'prepared makes a very much better dress ino- than barn-yard manure alone. I dig the muck as soon after haying as I can, that being generally the dryest season at the year, and the surtand the air will have good effect upon it before . I take it to the barn yard. Before moving' this muck, after it has - been dug, I clear my barn-yard of the previous year's ,accumulation of dressing, say on the first of November or before the groundfreezes—carting it out into the field where 1. propose to plant corn the nest season, or for the purpose of top-dressing, &c. I then haul into the vacant yard the muck, and, spread it evenly all over the surface. My cattle are: then allowed to run over and stand upon it during the re mainder of the fall and the winter. In the spring, as soon as it is dry enough, I run the plough through it, and follow this practice often during the summer. I yard my cattle on it-during the summer nights. I have a barn cellar, into which I drop the manure from my cattle during the winte and spring, and whenever housed. This fork over in the spring and during the summer, keeping it in the cellar until the last of August or first of September. then commence mixing the pile in my cell. a t with the muck in the yard, in the propor tion of one-third manure from this cellar to two-thirds of the muck in the yard, frequently ploughing them over and incor porating them together as intimately as I can trntil it is time to haul into the field. "I stated that I cleaned my yard just before the ground closed up for winter, and the sooner it freezes after it is out, the bet ter, as it prevents evaporation or further drying. I drop it in a long pile, and stack it into a sharp ridge, like the roof of a house, flatting it, and smoothing the sides with my shovel, which causes it to shed rain, and you will find it all there in the spring. " Muck prepared in this way never. failed to give me good crops, and proves more lasting for the hay crop than the same amount of manure does. I have now about fifteen cords, which is my usual amount prepared every year. MOSES R. WENTWORTH "WINTHROP, October, 1564." MORGAN HORSES. A Decision in Favor of Continuing the Breed.—An interesting discussion took place at the Vermont State Fair, at White River Junction, last week, in a farmei's meeting, on the question of the expediency of allowing the race of Morgan horses to become extinct. It was claimed for the Morgan that it had contributed greatly to the wealth of Vermont. The • original " Justin Morgan" was introduced into the State in 1795. For many years the Morgan stock predominated over all others. Lately, however, it had been seriously feared that the race would become extinct. John Gre gory, of Northfield county,. urged the adoption of means to perpetuate the Mor gan, arguing that his traits were admirable; his capacity and endurance remarkable; he was eminently fitted for farm work, road ster, or stage work. It was urged, on the other •hand, that there was no rape of Morgan actually in existence, and .to perpetuate the name of Morgan syas simply to deceive. It was contended that there is no horse now in the country in which there is a preponderance of pure Morgan blood, and that the only thing which remains for Vermont farmers to do is to - perpetuate a race, by judicious crossing, which will combine the best characteristics of the Morgan horse. The discussion was continued at some length, and the question was decided in the negative by an almost unanimous vote. NORTH CAROLINA AS A PRODUCING STATE, A correspondent of the New York Jour nal Y . Commerce writes from Raleigh, N. C. : 44 North Carolina is the only State in the Union where every article enumerated in the census is produced, so says Mr. Whi ley, in his interesting North Carolina work, and to whom I am indebted for many of the statistics which will be found in this letter. Corn, wheat, tobacco, turpentine and rice, are produced in nearly every county in the State. Potatoes are a staple in all the counties, the east producing immense quantities of the sweet, and the west of the Irish potatoes. Oats are a staple nearly everywhere; rye in half the counties; buckwheat in the 'upper regions; hay abounds in all sections; hemp and flax are considerably grown; grapes of different varieties; and all the garden vegetables, apples, pears, peaches, melons, etc., etc., flourish in every part of the State ; live stock abounds; beef and pork are every where staples; and the finest sheep-walks in the United States are in the hilly parts of the. State. rre:Vidtts to the war,,l was informed, 'abgut 1,000,000 barrels of turpentine were annually made in the State,, employing frikns,ooo to 6,000 latorers; and yielding an'testimated income to the makers of over M 0,00,000. Its fisheries constitute the most important interest to the people of the eastern section of the State, for the brief period they exist. There were prior to the war, ,on the Albemarle Sound alone, some thirty fisheries, which worked . seines vary ing from' 1,600 ' t0 3,000 yards long. some of Which have been, known to catch as many 300,000 herrings, and as many as 13,000'shad at one hattl I CORE OF SHEEP IN WINTER. Fattening' heep should not be allowed much range, in fact the more closely they are confined the better, so long as their good appetites give indications of continued health.,! Sheep confined in close, dark quarter's, four to. five in a pen, having nothing to do but eat and sleep, lay on fat much,pore rapidly and economically than if allowed even the range of a small yard. Breeding ewes ought to be in the sunshine more or less daily, and have a walk of con siderable extent. The leaves and twigs of our common evergreen trees, especially of the kiemlock, are palatable to sheep, and they may very profitably be fed frequently. The resinous and astringent substances con tained 4 in this kind of food appear to exer cise an excellent effect, promoting the health, of the. flock, besides affording a relish ble variety of diet, and tolerable sub-' stitute for roots. All' sheep ought to have occasi al change of diet if possible, es peals the breeding ewes.—Am.

This Seminary has been in successful operation for several years at No. 1580 Arch street.

To others, who desire to send their daughters to a first-claps institu tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secede 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, Academie, and Collegiate.
