PRESBYTERIAN
Chester, Pa.—There is an awakening of
religious interest in the Presbyterian church
in this place, Rev. Mr. Sprole, pastor. One
of the editors of the Presbyterian, who re
cently spent a Sabbath there, says that he
was '`in the midst of scenes which he will
not soon forget. The Sabbath-school in the
morning was a place of weeping, and great
solemnity and earnest attention were visible
in the congregation throughout the day."
Revival in Missouri. Rev. E. P. Cowan,
of the Presbyterian church, 0. S., in Wash
ington, Missouri, writes to the Presbyterian :
"A few Sabbaths ago I baptized . three
adults, the first fruits of my labors in this
once well cultivated, but of late years sadly
neglected field. On last S a kbath . morning
ten more made a profession of their faith in
Christ, seven of whom i baptized. In the
evening five more knocked for admittance
into the fold of the Good Shepherd, three of
whom I expect to baptize on next Sabbath.
Thus has the Lord put our weak faith to
shame."
Increase . of Candidates fiir the Minis
try.—The Theological Seminaries- of the
United ' , "resbyterian Church in Xenia, Ohio,
and Monmouth. 111., have each double the
number of students that were in attendance
last winter.
Revival in Ohio.—A work of grace has
begun at Centre Church, Presbytery of
Ohio ,inners . have been converted, and the
hearts of many 0 - God's people revived and
w ile to rejoice. At the recent communion,
nine persons were added to the church, seven
on examination and two on certificate. Five
adults were baptized, one of whom was a
soldier . who served his country faithfully dur
ing the war, and lost a limb on the field of
battle. Deep interest was felt by all who
Witnessed this solemn ceremony.—Pres.„Ban
ner.
New Presbytery.—The 0. S. Church has
organized in lowa, the Presbytery of Fort
Dodge. Its territory is about a hundred
miles square, extending westwardly from the
valley of the Cedar, to that of Des Moines,
and northward, from a little below the line
of the Dubuque and Sioux City railroad, to
the northern boundary of the State. The
Presbytery begins its existence with a cry for
laborers. Two ministers are wanted for al
ready cultivated fields, and several others to
break new ground.
Items.—The Philadelphia Presbytery of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church, on the
12tb inst., licensed Mr. David Dickson, of
this city, to preach the Gospel among the
Freedmen, under the direction of the Ame
rican Missionary Association.—Mr. Wil
liam Matthews, of New York City, has do
nated $6OOO to the Presbyterian church in
Rye, N. Y., for the erection of a Sabbath
school and lecture-room.—A. revival is
reported from the church in Milford, N. J.,
under the pastorate of Rev. A. H. Sloat,
who left Virginia some three years ago to
escape secession.---Princeton Theological
Seminary has now .on its roll 15S students, of
whom 150 are in actual attendance.—The
Presbytery of Mississippi has instructed its
Commissioners to advise the General Assem
bly (Southern) that "we have no affiliation
with a Northern Assembly, but an unvarying
adherence to our own, its interests, and its
prosperity."—The Presbytery of Richland
proposes to supply the pulpit of any brother
who will volunteer three months' service in
.the Domestic Missions of the Church.—
The lowa Presbytery of the Reformed Pres
byterian Church, at its late meeting, " re
solved to make an effort to unfurl the Cove
nanted banner in Chicago," and appointed
'wo ministers to visit that city to preach and
see what can be done towards a church en
terteise,
CONGREGATIONAL
The hlgrim. Collection.—Last Sabbath
was the diatr designated by the late National
Council, for timiiltaneous collection in all the
Con gregational'Churches in the land, for the
purpose of Church extension in connection
with that denomination. The day was
selected as being the Sabbath - immediately
preceding the anniversary of the landing of
the Pilgrims. The summamed by the Council
as one that must be raisk e l, was $200,000; to
be expended chiefly in theest and South.
From the tone of the correkndence which,
for the last few weeks, has col, from all
quarters to the Congregational p ers , we
presume the collection was almost u. ersally
taken up, and that the designated Qunt
will be easily reached.
Religious Interest in Springfield, M
—A correspondent writes from Springfiel
--" Your readers may be cheered with the
intelligence that a marked and increasing in
terest in religion is manifest in our city, more
especially among the young men. During
the past year we have held a nightly prayer
meeting attended by a faithful tew. During
the past fortnight our rooms have been
crowded every evening, from 9 to 10 o'clock,
and some eight or ten, as we hope, have found
Christ.—N. Y Observer.
Eastford, Connecticut.—A great revival
has been experienced at Eastford, Connecti
cut. Christians have been quickened, and
sixty to seventy persons converted, among
them many heads of families and young
men. The whole congregation . has been
solemnly impressed, as the word was preach
ed. Rev. 0. Parker has been assisting Rev.
C. Chamberlain, the pastor, and his labors
have been signally blessed. Many are still
serious, and it is hoped that large numbers
more will be gathered in.
Items.—A distinguished layman in the
Congregational Church, Deacon Seth Terry,
of Hartford, Conn., recently departed this
life at the ripe age of eighty-five.—The
Sabbath-school of the 'second Congregational
church, in San Francisco, has three hundred
and thirty-nine scholars, nearly one hundred
of whom are in the infant class. Seven of
the scholars have recently made the profes
sion of their faith. The Third Church has
fbur hundred and fifty-three scholars on its
roll. Recently a few girls connected with the
school of the Congregational Church in Red
wood, California, undertook, by a children's
fair, toprocure some articles needful for the
room. They set their mark at $lO, and
raised $57.A Congregationalist " Society"
was recently organized in Astoria, Oregon,
intended to be auxiliary to the new church
enterprise in that place.—Rev. George B.
Day was, on the sth instant, installed pas
tor of the Congregational Church in Pater
son, N. J. He comes from the Newark

ithe recent deaths of ministers of the Congre
ationalr Church, we notice that of Rev.
' oses C. Searle, formerly of our ecclesiasti
connection, and pastor of the church in
e
w Hartford, N. I. He died in Byfield,
a:: , s., on the 10th inst., at the age of sixty
ht,g being at the time acting pastor of the
urch in that place.

• new Enterprise in an Interesting Ix
ty.—A. new Episcopal church has been
,ded, and is in course of erection, in

:zwicksung, a place memorable as one of
' scenes of the labors of David Brainerd
Ong the Indians, more than a century ago.

town, in the same State, both of which are
under the• fostering care of the Protestant
Episcopal Missionary Society of New Jersey.
A correspondent of the Episcopal „Recorder
says:
" In this Church the follies of Tractarian
ism, by which our beloved Church is so often
and grossly misrepresented, will be carefully
avoided ; and the solid truths of the blessed
Gospel, viz: the total depravity of man by
reason of the fall, the covenant of works and
efficacious redemption of the Son of God for
his mystical body, the Church ; and the
necessity of the Holy Spirit's operations, not
on ly to quicken, but also to guide, 'Comfort,
and support the soul ; together with the doc
trine of the personal, premillenial and speedy
coming of the Son of Man, will be constantly
taught, with other kindred truths."
A Bishopric Declined.—br. Howe, rector
of St. Luke's Church) in this city, after
mature reflection, declines the election of
Missionary Bishop of Nevada, conferred upon
him by the late General Convention. The
Recorder noticing this declination, says that,
knowing from the beginning how many
obstacles there were to his acceptance, it is
not surprised. It adds :
"We cannot but feel that, however valua
ble the services of one so accomplished and
experienced would be in such a field, it is
better to choose for our Western Missionary
Episcopates comparatively young men—as
were Bishops Whipple and Talbot—who are
somewhat accustomed to kindred fields of
labor, and who have not, like Drs. Howe and
Randall, difficulties, and ties, and duties at
the East, which make acceptance almost an
impossibility."
Items.—Bishop Odenheimer, of New Jer
sey, is temporarily disabled from going
abroad, by a fracture of the knee joint, re
ceived in a fall. While passing out from the
chancel of the church in Roundabout, New
Jersey, he made a misstep, it being nearly
dark, and fell into the nave, thus producing
the injury.—Thirteen persons were recently
confirmed in St. Michael's Church, Trenton,
New Jersey, making the number of thirty
eight within a few months. Rev. Mr2'\&pple
ton has been compelled, by failing health, to
resign the charge of the parish, and has gone
abroad.—Rev. Dr. Kerfoot has signified
his acceptanee of the election to the Episco
pate of the new Diocese of Pittsburg.—
Rev. George B. Whipple, one of the Ameri
can Episcopalians sent to reconvert the Sand
wich Islanders, has returned in disgust. He
thinks the natives can do without the "Re
formed Catholic Church," which the English
missionaries are trying to introduce.

BURNING OF THE =BEM
LETTER FROM MR. EARNER.
NEw YORE, July 14,1856.
MESSRS. HERRING & Co.—Gentlemen :—Though the
destruction of the American Museum has proved a
serious loss to myself and the publie, I am happy to
verify the old adage that " It's an ill wind that blows
nobody any good," and consequently congratulate
you that your well-known SAFES have again demon
strated their superior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity. The Safe you made for me some
time ago was in the office of the Museum. on the
second floor, back part of the building, and in the
hottest of the fire. After twenty- four hours of trial
it was found among the debris, and on opening it this
day has yielded up its contents in very good order.
Books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for immediate use, and a noble com
mentary on the trustworthiness of HERRING'S FIRE
PROOF SAFES. Yruly yours,
P. T. BARNUM.

t in ANOTHER TEST
J--t- HERRING'S FIRE-PROOF SAFES.
The Fiery Ordeal Passed Triumphantly.
The Herring Safe used in the office of our ware
houses. destroyed by the disastrous fire on the night
of the Bth instant, was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will ever be subjected in any fi re --
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 contents—books and
psners—were found to be entire and uninjured.
This Safe is now on exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh Street, with the books and papers still re
maining in it. just as it was when taken from the
ruins. Merchants, Bankers, and others interested in
the protection of their books and papers are invited
to call and examine it. . .
