able.
Presbytery adjourned to meet at West
Ely on Friday, April 20th, 1866, at 72
o'clock, P. M. D.
PRESBYTERY OF HurcoN.--The Evan
gelist has the account of the prosperity
of three of the churches in this Ohio
Presbytery. Monroeville has, during
the year, received on profession about
thirty members, paid about $2OOO for a
parsonage, laid out more than $3OOO
in renovating its church edifice, and
withal made no diminution of its ordi
nary charities. Norwalk has had an ac
cession from the world of more than
thirty members. Plymouth has provid
ed its pastor with a good parsonage.
SYNOD OF MIOBTOAN.—This Synod, at
its late meeting in Kalamazoo, appointed
a committee to organize a new Presby
tery to include the churches in, and
around Lansing. The. Narrative men
tions considerable advancement in most
of the Presbyteries; several new churches
had been erected during the past year,
and more were now in process of erec
tion. Many of the churches had been
thinned, as thepatriotism of their mem
bers had taken them to the army. Some
revivals had taken place, and the vari
ous benevolent objects had received
much encouragement throughout the
several Presbyteries. Two of the min
istry had been taken away by death
Awing the past year, Rev. Ambrese Eg
gleston, of the Coldwater, and Rev. Ira
M. Olds, of the Detroit Presbytery.
DEATH OF A MINISTEIL—Rev. Abra
ham Luce, a greatly-esteemed father in
our - Church, went to his reward, from
the residence of his son in Riverhead,
Long Island, on the 23d ult. He . was
more than seventy years of age, and
about the fiftieth of his ministry. His
whole life had been spent on Long
Island. He was seventeen years the
pastor of the Church in Westhampton,
and served several .other churches on the
Island for shorter terms. Wherever he
labored, God gave him sopls for his hire.
Several revivals occurred under his min
istry, and he enjoyed largely the confi
dence and love of the churches, and his
co-Presbyters.
SECOND CHURCH, CINCINNATI.—This,
which is one of our most important
Western churches, has remained without
a regular pastor since the resignation of
Dr. Thompson. Its pulpit is temporarily
supplied by RevfL. J. Evans, of Lane
Seminary.
SANDUSKY, OHIO.—Rex. J. H. Fuller
ton was installed pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church in this place, on the
31st ult.
PASTOR WANTED.—The call is sent
out for a pastor for the Coshocton and
Roscoe Church, Ohio. Its field is the
two towns named, and it has a good
house of worship, and a fair congregation
in each. The membership is about
ninety. The population 'of Coshocton is
about fifteen hundred.
NEW CHURCH IN TOLEDO, OHIO.-A
new organization, taking the name of the
Westminster Church, and to be in our
ecclesiastical connection, was completed
in Toledo on the 7th inst. Fifty-five of
its members brought letters from our
already existing Church there, and
others came in, making the whole num
ber more than sixty. Morally they are
a strong and reliable ? company, and their
pecuniary ability is' ample for their pre
sent wants. We are happy to learn
thso the departure of this colony, which
it is expected materially to advance the
interests of religion in that city, will not
seriously embarrass the mailer church.
OLIVET, MIOIIIGAN.-Our Church and
the college in this place have been united
in Christian worship, and occupied to
gether the edifice used for that purpose.
The growth of both town and college
has rendered the building too straight,
and it has accordingly received enlarge
ment and improvement, at an expense of
$5OOO. It is now a good-sized church,
with a college; chapel, and recitation
rooms in the basement. The dedication
services took place on the 26th ult., at
which time all that remained unpaid of
the expenses of the improvement were
paid, and nikore contributed for the fur
niture.. The college, a decidedly Chris
tian institution, is in a very flourishing
condition, and is making its influence
felt in the region.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS.—Rev. J. W.
Cunningham, the Presbyterial missionary
of the Presbytery of Galena and Illinois,
found, about nine months ago, a church
of twenty-six members at Apple River,
a small village, but surrounded by a
good farming country. The Church was
without a sanctuary or pastor, and very
much discouraged. He immediately
devoted to them his labors for one half
the time, and these have been accompa
nied by the Divine blessing. The
Church is enlarged by thirteen accessions;
a good church edifice is built, mostly
furnished and paid for, more than $2BOO
of the amount having been raised on the
ground; the dedication has passed off,
and the preaching services connected
therewith were continued three days, the
congregation filling the house ;to its
utmost capacity ; and now cheerfulness
and hopefulness reign.
The same brother, near the beginning
of the year, assisted in the organization
of a church of twenty-four members in
Warren, some six miles from Apple River,
a village of more than twelve hundred
inhabitants. There a neat chapel, fore
runner of a more capacious edifice, has
since been built - and paid for, and the
minieterial services of Rev. E. H. Avery
have been secured. The church is re
ceiving accessions, and, with the Divine
blessing everything appears fair.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23 1865.
NEW CHURCHES IN KANSAS.--TWO
new Church organizations in our con
nection, were effected in Kansas, last
September. The first is in Ottawa, and
has but ten constituent members. Rev.
John Summers, of Shellsburg, lowa, has
been requested to enter upon the work
of building it up. The location is highly
important. The other is near Enraka,
the last place on the mail route to Santa -
Fe. All between is a wilderness. Eight
persons were organized as the First
Presbyterian Church of Fall River and
vicinity, and the Lord's Supper was ad
ministered by the missionary, whose
name we do not see mentioned. It was
the first sacramental meeting ever held
by Presbyterians in Greenwood County.
Eureka has, for some time, been known
as a town on paper, but, in point of fact,
it is only a Post Office, located in a stone
dwelling occupied by Mr. Edward Tucker.
Dwellers are scattered here and there
around. We rejoice in the enterprise
which has carried our Church in that di
rection to this Ultima Thule of civiliza.
tion. Now we want the missionaries,
and the means for their living and use
fulness. Where are they
WESTERN ITEMS.—We clip the follow
ing from the Preqbytery Reporter :
John Pollock, a licentiate connected with
the Wabash Presbytery, supplies the
pulpit of the Prairie Bird Chnrch,Shelby
county, Illinois, and also acts as Princi
pal of the Okaw Seminary in Shelbyville,
the capital of the same county. Rev.
Andrew Luce, besides supplying our
church at Carbondale, Illinois, is now
acting as Pricipal of the High School, or
College in that place. Rev. David Dia
mond, late of Brighton, Illinois, has
taken charge of our Church at Shelby
ville, Illinois. This is the church made
vacant, a , few weeks since, by the re
moval of Rev. Timothy Hill to Kansas
City, Mo. Shelbyville people have
already proved the truth of the promise,
"He that watereth shall be watered"—
Prov. xi. 25. The place of the minister
whom they yielded up at a call from a
missionary field, has already been wor
thily supplied. Rev. C. A. Williams,
after spending three years as Chaplain
in the 11. S. Hospital at Keokuk, lowa,
has accepted an invitation to supply the
pulpit of the Westminster Church, Rock
ford, Illinois. Rev.
.Thomas Spencer,
from Terre Haute, is now supplying the
New Providence Church, Wabash Pres
bytery. Sanford, Indiana, the post
office.
THE PACIFIC COAST.—The Synod of
Alta, California, met at Oakland on the
3d of October, sixteen ministers and sev
ertil 'elders.being present, The opening
sermon was preached by the Rev. Geo.
Pierson, and the Rev. C. C. Wallace, of
Placerville, was chosen Moderator.
Church extension received a share of
attention, and Revs. Scudder, Taylor,
Hamilton, White and Elder Sweeney
were appointed a committee on the sub
subject. It was recommended that each
Presbytery secure a Presbyterial mission
ary. Seven hundred and thirty dollars
have been collected for Home Missions
the past year, and an unusual number
of new converts have been received into
the churches. The number of ministers
is increased by one from the East, and
two ordinations in California.
APPOINTMENT. ACCEPTED.—We have
before noticed the appointment of a joint
committee, by the Synod of Ohio and
Cincinnati, to procure a supervising and
working missionary for the destitutions
in their bonnds—an important territory,
taking the sweep of southern Ohio. This
Committee selected for the work Rev.
Daniel Tenney, a brother to whom both
Synods spontaneously turned, as being
precisely the man answering to the re
quirements of the field. We now learn
that Mr. Tenney accepts the appoint
ment, regarding it as the call of God,
althoughNhe obeys at the sacrifice of giv
ing up; pastorate where he is useful
and bell) d. In his letter of acceptance
he says have.but one life to spend
for my dear Redeemer, and that is fast
passing away, and I wish to accomplish
the greatest possible amount of good. I
wish to build for Christ and on Christ,
of silver and gold and precious stones
that shall abide as a memorial of ° my
love for Jesus, and if I can lay one more
precious stone there than here, then let
me labor there, and there let me die."
Mr. Tenney's head-quarters will, for the
the present, be at Oxford, Ohio.
CHANGE OF POST OFFICE ADDRESS.-
Rev. G. W. Mackie, late of Adams, N.
Y., has removed to Janesville, Wis., and
desires his correspondents to address
him at the latter place.—Rev. R. Dun
ning, late of Rochester, has taken pasto
ral charge of the Presbyterian Church
in Ontario, Wayne County, N. Y., and
requsts correspondents to address 4 ,him
accordingly.
AID IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.—We
learn, with much satisfaction, that Rev.
Dr. Heacock, of Buffalo, is spending two
Sabbaths, in Maryville, East Tennessee.
PROBABLY the most elegant Gift Book of
the season is about to be published by Chas.
Scribner & Co., New York. It is "Tax
CR.RISTLIN ARMOUR," with fifteen richly
illustrated plates, illustrating the passage in
the sixth of Ephesians. It will be in quarto,
two editions; the morocco $2O, and the cloth
$l5. Send for Scribner's Circular.
WE are informed that fever and ague is
now more prevalent than it has been for
years. Great care and caution should be had,
to guard against this disease. If . any of our
readers aro unfortunate enough to be shak,ing
with ague, we remind them that one of the
best remedies known to eradicate the ague
is Davis' Pain Killer. We advise every
family to keep this valuable remedy in their
houses.
LETTERS OF COMMENDATION.
RECEIVED BY THE WILLCOX & GIBBS' SEW
ING MACHINE COMPANY, NO. 720, CHEST
NUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA.
From Rev. Andrew T.. Pratt, Missionary of
the American Board.
" NEW YORK, April 4th, 1861.
" MR. JAMES WILLCOX :
DEAR SIR :—I have now had in use one of.
your Machines for six months, and am ready
to thank you for introducing them to the pub
lic, and furnishing them so reasonably to mis
sionaries. Having used one of the best
double-threaded machines in the market, we
speak intelligently when we Ray, that for sim
plicity, ease, and precision of work, yours is
unrivaled.
"It is the only Machine whose working is
so sure and simple that I could venture to in
troduce it in Syria, among a people who have
only a modicum of mechanical skill.
" I am quite sure I shall be able to bring it
into use to some extent in that country. k
"We are particularly pleased with tie
beauty of the work doue by the hemmers.
We would prefer the Willcox & Gibbs'
Machine to any other, at any price.
" Hoping to hate occasion to send for one
or more soon after our arrival in Syria, I re
main yours truly."
That Mr. Pratt's most sanguine expecta
tions have been realized regarding the intro
duction of Machines in Syria, we give below
extracts from letters received from him :
" ANTIOCH, SYRIA, May 20th, 1862.
" I now have the pleasure of requesting
you to furnish another of your admirable
Machines for one' of our missionaries, (Rev.
G. B. Nutting, Oorfa, Turkey, in Asia.)
This is the sixth Machine we have been the
occasion of your furnishing since our arrival
here. Our own Machine has been in use a
year and a half, and has never troubled us a
half hour, and .every one that has seen it is
delighted with it"
ANTIOCH, SYRIA, September 6th, 1862.
"Please furnish one of your Sewing
Machines, addressed 'Rev. G. H. White'
Marash, Turkey.' . . . I inclose a note
just received from a brother missionary, to
whom I recommended your Machine. It was
not intended for your eye, but may have none
the less value."
" MARDIN, MEsoPoTARaa., Aug. 19th, 1862.
"DEAR IJR. „MATT : . . . I must tell
you how splendidly our Sewing Machine
wo;lis, and how much my wife is indebted to
you for it. We needed new lounges, and I
sewed for her one hundred yards of thick
ticking, from two to seven thicknesses. We
have not yet broken a needle, except in that
bob—none before or since. s It has not, once
een out of order, not once balked, and it. is a
comfort.' . . . I wish A— and E—
had one like it."
From Rev. W. G. Hubbard, Wilson, N. Y..;
August 18, 1860.
"I have regarded your Machine as the
most perfect in construction and working of
any I have seen, but now, after taking it to
pieces„ I admire its structure much more.
It is an honest Machine; and I hope every
man and woman who owns one will take pat
tern from it, in principle and duty."
From Rev. George W. Leech, Tallmansuille,
iWayne.County, Pa., November 14, 1860.
"The Machine came safely to hand last
Wednesday evening, and Thursday morning,
before daylight, I had it unboxed, and though
I had never before seen a sewing machia43, of
any kind, I had no difficulty in understand
ing how to work it. My wife, who, on ac
count of our present poverty, been op
posed to my getting it, has found out, that it
is `just the thing for poor folks.' "
Under date of Feb. 6, 1861, he says:—
"If I did not regard your Machine as among
the benevolent institutions of the age,'
would not spend the time I do in recommend
ing and showing it. We are delighted with
it, and the admiration of all who witness its
operation, and who generally say, ' We must
have one as soon as we can.' "
January 27, 1862:—"Four machines of
other manufactures (among them the much
vaunted 'W. & W„' and `F. & L.,' were
purchased in this vicinity about the same
time I first procured one of yours, but their
number does not and cannot increase, while
you know how many of yours gladden our
backwoods homes."
Rev. Oliver Crane writes as follows ;
Boston, July, 1860.
MESSRS. WILLCOX ANOGIBBS, SEWING MA
CHINE COMPANY :
Gentlemen:—Having examined more than
twenty different kinds of Sewing Machines, '
and fully acquainted myself with the merits
and peculiarities of each, I have decided to
purchase one of your patent, as the best adapt
ed to the wants of my family, and as the least
liable to_ get out of repair.
Under date June 18th, 1861, Mr. Crane
writes from Adrianople :—" The Machine
works admirably. There is no Sewing Ma
chine but this in all Adrianople. We have
had company after company to witness its
magic operation, from among the best classes
in Adrianople; among them, the Pasha and
all his retinue. He bore away with him a
specimen of his own sewing, and was delight
ed. It has many admirers. Some want to
purchase—all stand amazed at its telegraphic
speed."
" ADRIANOPLE, TURKEY, April 24, 1862.
" I am happy to have it in my power to
send you an order for two of your Sewing Ma
chines like mine, one for J. E. Blunt,
English Consul at Adrianople, and the other
for Rev. C. F. Morse."
" ADRIANOPLE, 'TURKEY DI EUROPE,
February 12 1863. f
"Since coming to Adrianople, I have had
occasion already to order three Sewing Ma
chines from you. They have been promptly
and honestly packed and sent, and I now he-re
with order three more of the same style, etc.
—the boxes to be marked as follows:
"A. Dom), Esq., Greek. Consul.
" M. MERREL, Esq., French Consulate.
"Du. MEITAL, Bey.
"I am happy to assure yon that the Ma
chines already sent, give full satisfaction."
From Rev. B. A. Reid, Beaver Dam, Wis.,
October 22, 1864.
"I have long been an enthusiast, if not an
expert, among the Sewing Machines. Be
sides, my wife is practically familiar and ex
perienced with the leading machines. I have
made critical examinations and severe tests,
particularly investigating all mechanical
points, principle character of ititcla,' - an'd'
general practicability of twelve different ran,'
clines claiming to be `first class,' and I am
entirely satisfied that the incox &
Glass' is so far above all others in practical
worth, that it is without a rival. The com
plication of delicate machinery, so common
in other machines, seems to be wholly elimi
nated in the VV theox & Gibbs, and it will
live to see other 'first-class' machines forgot
ten. Mrs. Reid says it is certainly the best
beyond comparison."
From an Eminent Lawyer.
Hew York, Sept. 6, 1863.
MESSRS. WILLCOX & GIBBS :- Gentlemen:
—When I purchased one of your Sewing Ma
chines, not long ago, you very tairly gave me
the privilege of returning it within a month;
but after a few days' trial in the family, I
found that it would be much easier to keep it
than do without it. Ido not mean to dis
parage other machines, which, in the hands
of practised operatives, have done the public
inestimable service, but I must say that your
Machine has` certain moral and social advan
tages which make it peculiarly safe to intro
duce in the family circle. It is simple, swift,
easily 'domesticated, and very inoffensive. It
is neVer obtrusive and noisy, overpower
ing domestic conversation, and has no
violent or sudden fits, disturbing the family
temper; it will not even chafe a lady's
dress, and it will do a week's work in
a single day with the least possible waste of
patience and thread. You have arranged
everything to accommodate the operator and
assist beginners, and, as most housekeepers,
I am told, only sew at intervals, they are con
stantly get in out of practice, and are always
beginners. The fact that you use a single
thread and an ordinary spool is a great con
venience; Out this, no doubt, has given rise
to some misgiving in the public mind in•re
gard to the strength and durability of the
stitch. The head of my family informs me,
after consultation with other female heads of
families, whO have long used your Machine,
that the stitch is as strong as the material,'
and Will last as long as the garment, and a
little longer; so the question for the public to
decide is, whether anything stronger or better
is really needed in domestic life.
Respectfully yours,
g; WEIR ROOSEVELT, No. 76, William at.

PERRY. DAVIS' VEGETABLE
PAIN
PERRY DAVIS—Sir: Although personally a stran
ger ,to you, yet the benefits I have received from the
use of your invaluable remedy, the Pain Killer, in
duces me to pen a word of praise for it, Experience
has convinced me that for Headache,, Indigestion,
Pain in the Stomach. or any other part of the system,
severe Chills. Weariness. Common Colds, Hoarseness,
CHOLERA, CHOLERA MORBUS, Diarrhea, Dysen
tery, Toothache, &c., there is nothing better than the
Pain Killer. I have this hour recovered from a se
vere attack of the Sick Headache by using up two
teaspoonfuls, taken at thirty minutes' intervals, in a
wine glass full of warm water.
I am confident that , through the blessing of God, it
saved me from the Cholera dining the summer of
1849. Traveling amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet,
and constant exposure to an infected atmosphere, my
system vas daily predisposed to dysentery attacks,
accompanied with pain, for which the Pain Killer
was a sovereign remedy; one teaspoonful curing the
worst case in an hour, or at most half a day. My
brothers in the ministry have used it with much suc
cess is various diseases.
I
have heardmany cases, the country over, of dye
entail" being cured j 2 3, its use. Put in the teeth, it
would stop the toot ache.
Gratitude, and a desire for its general use, has
drawn from me this unsolicited testimonial in its fa
vor. ➢. T. TAYLOR, JR..
• Minister of the GospeL
The following letter is from Mr. Woodward of St.
Louis, to T. N. Harris, EN.. New London, Conn.
Mr. Woodward is a resident of St. Louis, a gentle
man of high respectability, and during the prevalence
of the Cholera in that city, watched the result of the
application of the Pain Killer for this disease, and
his testimony - can be relied upon with 'the utmost
confidence.
Dear Sir: Yon recollect when I saw you in New
London in January last, my expressing to you my
most sanguine expectations that DAVIB' PAIN
KILLER would have a tremedous sale in the West
this season, and my anticipations have been more
than realized, and the testimony of thousands who
have used it has been that•they would not be willing
to go to bed at night without it in the house.
()n the appearance of the Cholera in this city, such
was the confidence in the Pain Killer , as remedy,
that many who purchased it remarked to me that
they had no fears or a read of the Cholera as long as
they had the Pain Killer by them, and hundreds took
it daily as a preventive, for no persons can have a
derangement of the bowels or diarrhea if they use
this medicine. This was the security and confidence
of hundreds acquainted with it. and when their
friends were attacked with the Cholera they would
administer the remedy in large quantities internally,
and also externally by bathing and rubbing them
with it, and in every case, when it has been taken in
any of the first stages of this disease, it has proved
successful.
I. consider it an infallible remedy. I have not
heard of any individual us any family, who used the
Pain Killer when attacked,. but what speedily. re
covered.
The clerk informed me that he administered it to
persons when cold and in the cramps, and it gave im
mediate relief, but still it should be given quickly,
for when the discharge of "rice water" has begtui,
the hope of life has fled. Should this disease make,
its aopearanee among you. as in all probability it will,
be not alarmed; you and all others there have the
remedy, and I am confident if the Pain Hiller is need,
not a death by Cholera will ocour in your city.
Respectfully yours,
A. P. WOODWARD.
Those using the Pain Killer should strictly observe
the following directions
At the commencement of the disease, take a tea
spoonful of the Pain Killer in sugar and water, and
then bathe freely across the stomach and bowels,with
the Pain Killer clear.
Should the diarrhea or cramps continue, repeat the
close every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may be checked, and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B. Be sure and get the genuine article; audit
is recommended by those who have used the Pain
Killer for the Cholera, that in extreme cases the pa
tient take two [or morel teasponfuls instead of one,
