glsto* jotf mir ®ljrolj£i REVIVALS. In the First Church N. L., interesting services on the successive evenings, of several weeks past have been held and we are gratified to state that, at the late communion, thirty-one persons, on profession, were added to the mem bership. We learn that the interest still continues, and that the meetings will be-continued throughout ibis week, and longer if indications warrant. Among the influences at work to produce these blessed results, we may name the solemn and urgent exhorta tions addressed to relatives %nd friends Im the death-bed of a young Christian nember of this church. First Church Kensington. —Deep d wide-spread religious interest pre ils, especially in the Sabbath-school d Bible-classes of this church. The mber of inquirers is very large, in fact precedented in the experience of the | stor, who has seeu many seasons of rival; and the interest appeared some hat suddenly. Williamsport. —We were gratified th a visit, one day last week, from 3V. J. Macfarlane, of the Presbyterian lurch, (O. S.) of Towanda, who con ms all the accounts of the wonderful id extensive character of the work of ace in that town and section. A com unication from his pen, describing some the missionary features of the work, ill be found on the inside. Mr. Mac farlane visited Williamsport on his journey to this city. He arrived there at ten o’clock at night, and his hotel waß directly opposite the Court House, where pinion services had been in progress for isome weeks. At that hour, he expected to find the people dispersed ; on the con trary, there was still a movement to wards the Court House, which he en- Itered and found crowded with upwards of la thousand hearers, hanging in deep jand tearful interest upon the speaker, |Mr. Hammond. The leading ministers 'f the place, Rev. William Sterling and hers, were with him on the platform, it was evident that a Greater than v was also there. In response to call usually made at the close of :h services, a multitude arose to ex !SS publicly their anxiety and their je. And when Christians were next fled to rise, the whole congregation jmed to be on their feet. . Mr. Macfarlane speaks of a single leting held by Mr. Hammond, in Troy, idford County, the effects of which :e very great. Revivals in ’. — The church Belle Plain, (Rev. h 7 Ruli'ffson’s,) ■ recently had anor eleven 'bers on profession. Sixteen have in received on profession to the chnrch Mankato, of which Rev.

At the imunion season, on the 18th ult., irty-nine were received on profession their faith. Many others are under >lemn impressions; the church is in mewed working order, and a continued leasing is hoped for. A New Pastor in New York.—Rev. W. Hitchcock, the newly elected )tor of the Fourtenth Street Church, raerly Dr. Asa D. Smith’s, entered ton his work last Sabbath. Mr. H. unes to his new field at the unanimous id earnest call of the congregation, and mgs to it a great amount of experience, the prestige of past success. Brooklyn Churches. —The La Fay ette Street Church, (Rev. T. L. Cuy ltr’s,) is blessed with a powerful work ? grace; conversions are multiplied, lis work was preceded by a temper ice revival. Rev. C.

Lane Seminary. —The much regret id transfer of Professor Day from Lane Yale, baß occasioned an important re nt of the faculty of the former, in iudyig the election of a new professor, whose name and services,'if secured, will be ,n ample compensation for the loss »u«\ined. Prof. Smith has been transferred by the Executive Commit tee to the sl«ur of Biblical Literature ; Prof. Allen to ■•he chair of Sacred Rhetr oric and Pasiohj Theology ; and Rev. R. W.

W. S. Post; others are preparer to unite. Mr. Post says to the JVesfij Irry Reporter :—7l will add that 1 have an "order from Rev. Dr. Nelson’s Church on our Presbyteriin Publication Com mittee, for $5O worth of books fpr cbr new Pfturch, and foroui- Sabbath-schopi, or where ever else I may deem it bast to use them.” Another Veteran Gone. —Rev. Ely Burcbard, of the Presbytery of Utica, died in Clinton, N. Y., on the 4th ult. Mr. B. was for a few years, in the earlier part of his ministry, settled over the church in Augusta, N. Y., where he labored with acceptance and success. The chief part of his life was devoted to teaching, a work to which he felt himself more peculiarly adapted. He had little ambition for wide fame, but was distinguished within the circle of his acquaintance for clearness of mind aud a well comprehended theology of the Calvinistic type, and also for an unusual familiarity with the original texts of the Holy Scriptures. As a man and a Christian, he won a universal esteem and affection-. He died at the age of *7 T. His end was peace, speak ing with his latest breath of Jesus as altogether precious, and chief among ten thousands. Pew-renting at Red Bluff.- —The Pacific says: There is one secular paper in this State, (California,) which takes a positive interest in the religions affairs of the place it represents. It is the Red Bluff Independent. Not a few of our newspapers spend ten columns on some notice of a saloon to one they spend on a Church of Christ. Our Red Bluff exchange notices all business meet ings of the church (Presbyterian) in that place, and we have seen notices also of the weekly prayer-meetings. Its last number has a paragraph on the ser vices held during the Week of Prayer. Of the recent pew-renting it says:— “We are happy to state that the de mand for pews was greater thap ever we saw it since the church was built, and shows that our citizens .are deter mined to sustain the preaching of the Gospel.” fleligimis lutelligratß. PRESBYTERIAN. Deaths in the Ministry.—Rev. John A. Lewis, of the Indiana Presbytery of the Cum berland Presbyterian Church, died at his residence in Fort Branch, Gibson Co., Ind., on a late Sabbath, at 8 o’clock A. M., after a protracted illness of chronic diarrhea, con tracted while in the service of his country as chaplain of the 10th Indiana cavalry. Rev. Jesse Edwards, a much valued Western minister, departed this life on the 7th ult., at Plover, Wis., at the age of 47 years. Rev. Henry E. Crawford, pastor of Pleasant Church, in Madison Presbytery, Ind., died of pulmonary disease on the sth tilt. Onhis dying bed, he reaffirmed the truths which he had preached, and enjoyed in fulness their support. Rev. J. A. Hodge, of Philadelphia, has become pastor of the Presbyterian church in Hartford. * First Pastor Installed in Colorado.— Rev. Theodore 1). installed frasroi-artne Presbyterian church of Black Hawk, Colorado, Feb. 4th, by the newly formed Presbytery of Colorado. Rev. J. B. McClure, of Denver, preached the sermon; Rev. G. M. Campbell, of Boulder, gave the charge to the pastor; and Rev. Wm. Craw ford, of the Congregational church, Central City, gave the charge to the people. This is the first installation in the Territory of Colo rado, and over a church which has the only church-building yet erected in the Rocky Mountains. — Evangelist. ANon-Secession Church in Texas.—Dur ing the entire rebellion the Old School Pres byterian church at the capital of Texas, Rev. Wm. M. Baker, pastor, held itself entirely aloof from the Confederate General Assembly, never being represented therein, nor in Synod or Presbytery, these having given in their ad herence to the same. Mr. Baker; having entered upon another field of labor, this church has given a unanimous and cordial invitation to. Rev. Thaddeus Mcßae, of South Carolina, to become their pastor. With the hearty assent of this brother, who has labored in Texas with great acceptance for several years, the Austin church have re solved to continue that connection with the General Assembly of the United States, which even the rebellion had failed to sever. The location of this church, at the capital of Texas lends an interest to its straightforward ant steady course, making it a conspicuous ex ample well worthy of imitation. — N. Y. Ob server. A Minister and Editor Disabled —The North Western Presbyterian announces the prostration, by paralysis, of its associate editor, Rev. Alfred Hamilton, D.D, The hope is expressed that he may not be perma nently disabled. Dr. Hamilton formerly filled an important pastorate—that of Fagg’s Manor, in the neighboring county of Chester, and enjoyed ldrgely the esteem of the churches in that region. , Revivals. —The Western Presbyterian con tains the followingfrom Rev. W. R. Brice, Columbus Grove, Ky.:—“ I wrote you some time since that the Lord was blessing us here, in reviving his people and turning sinners to himself. The good work still goes on. Since our meeting has commenced, one hundred and eleven united with the church —one hun dred and six on examination, and five on cer tificate. A short time since, we mentioned the ex istence of a revival in Rev. Mr. Stevens’ church in Jersey Shore, Pa. We now see it stated that already forty-seven have been added on profession of faith. Among these were persons of forty and sixty-six years old, who had withstood the influence of the Holy Spirit during all the past revivals with which that church has been blessed. A correspondent writes to the Pittsburgh Banner : —“We have just closed an interest ing series of meetings in the church of Kirk wood, Rev. G. W. Chalfant, pastor, and re ceived thirty-one members, twenty-three of whom were -received on profession. This nearly doubles our active membership in this little church. ” The church in Elizabeth, Presbytery of Redstone, of which Rev. J. Logan Sample is pastor,, is having a precious season. Forty four— males and seventeen fe males—profess hope in Christ, and the work is growing in power. A New York letter says ‘ Prayer-meet ings have been held every day for the last four weeks in different Presbyterian churches. Last week these meetings were held in the First Presbyterian church, on Fifth Avenue, of which the Rev. Wm. M. Paxton, D.D., i late of Pittsburgh, is the pastor. These ser jvices have been very well attended, and give Evidences of awakened faith, prayer, and aetyity among Christians, and also of' some inqu.y on the part of the impenitent. In Xmtieello, N. Y., in Rev. Dr. David son s chW,h, the week of prayer run into a meeting weeks’ continuance. The lecture-room was thronged night after night THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1866. the Holy Spirit doing its saving work. Conversions are numerous, mostly among 1 the young. 1 Quite a number of accessions have been s made to the Presbyterian church, (Rev. E. McCord’s,) in Clayton, Ind. The Chicago correspondent of the Presby- : terian reports revivals in progress in the churches in Chester, Geneseo, and Cham paign, all in Illinois. The same paper says:—“We hear of a work of grace in Penn’s Valley, Pa., in the bounds of the charge of the Rev. Robert Hamill, where the power of the Spirit of God has been manifested in the conversion of about thirty-five, while many are deeply interested in the great question of salvation. ’ The N. W. Presbyterian reports a number of revivals in Illinois. Among the _ places named is Kankakee. Bucyrus, Ohio, has also been blessed. The season of special in terest dates from the week of prayer. The Cincinnati Presbyter contains _ the ac count of a quiet but steadily progressing work of grace among the young ladies in attend ance upon the Cooper Female Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. It is believed that about twenty have, under its influence, passed from death unto life. l A revival is also reported from De Graff, Ohio, and another in the “Parish Church,” a new and promising field near De Graff. The pastor at Highland, Kansas, writes to the same paper that about forty persons in his congregation have re cently expressed a hope of salvation, while others are deeply anxious. Montgomery, Ohio, and Tipton, Ind., are also scenes of peculiar religious interest. The Proposed 0. S. Convention. —The Cincinnati Presbyter earnestly seconds Dr. Breckinridge’s proposal for a convention to meet in St. Louis, in May next, on Tuesday evening before the Assembly meets, for the purpose of prayer and conference, in regard to the state of the Church, and with the view of preparing a paper to be presented to the Assembly on the duties, dangers and neces sities of the Church in the present crisis. “We propose, ’ ’ says the Presbyter, ‘ ‘ to keep • Dr. Breckinridge’s call before our readers for • several weeks, and we ask our ministers and ruling elders, who approve of such a Conven ' tion, to send inlheir names, that they may ' be published as uniting in calling it. We s hope this request will not be neglected. Let it be known how far this measure is approved in the Church.” Congregational. —We regret saystthe Con gregationalist, to record, this week, the dis missal of several excellent ministers for the simple reason of inadequate support,; and we have other instances in mind where similar action is contemplated for the same cause. The Congregational Association of Western Pennsylvania held its annual meeting with the church in Randolph, Crawford Co., about eighty miles north of Pittsburg, commencing Tuesday, February 15th, and continuing un til the afternoon of Thursday. It was good to be there. The church was crowded during all the services with attentive congregations. George B. Delamater of Meadville, a layman, was elected a Moderator. He conducted the business of the meeting with fine spirit and promptness. The Association comprises about ten churches, the reports from which were of the most interesting character, indi cating the presence of the Holy Spirit, and waiting and longing, on the part of pastors and people, for the revival of the work of grace. The Congregaticnalist has the ac count of a great work in progress at the Cen tral Church in Brooklyn (Mr. French’s.) witTWQj. any special call, the regular .Friday weeks agty-mra largelyattended; and so deep was_ the inter est, that an opportunity was given for persons to rise for prayers, and six arose. The next week there were meetings on Monday, Tues day, and Friday evenings, all of which were crowded. Since then, meetings have been held every evening in the week, withasteadily rising interest. There is no machinery, no outside help; the pastor preaches on Thurs day evenings only. All is quiet; but little visible emotion ; a deep feeling, and an earn est, fervent spirit of prayer; but the great instrumentality is personal work Inquirers seek the pastor’s study from morning to night. The number of conversions so far is over eighty, and the interest deepens. What is remarkable is that most of the converts are adults; a few have been brought into the kingdom from the older classes in the Sun day-school, but it has not yet shared largely in the blessing. Some whole families have submitted to God. An unusual proportion of the converts are men.: of an interesting circle of young men, all but one are believed to have found Christ. It not such a work as this glorious? Hon. Erastus Hopkins, of Northampton, Mass., was, in early life, en gaged in the work of the ministry, as pastor ot the Second Presbyterian Church in Troy, N. Y. Now, after twenty-five years inter ruption of his ministry, on account of physi cal inability, he finds the cause so far remov ed, that he has connected himself with a Congregational Association in Massachusetts with a view of returning to the pulpit. Reformed Dutch. —The Board of Domes tic Missions of the Reformed Dutch Church has inaugurated an effort to raise a “ Church Building Fund” of $50,000. The first Sab bath in April is the time designated for simul taneous collections, and the Board appeal to every pastor, consistory, head of a family and Sabbath-school scholar, to make special ex ertions at that time. The Board of For eign Missions has been, for some time past, under serious pecuniary embarrassment. A liberal friend who has qu.'„e lately given $2500 for its relief, now proposes, through the In telligencer, to be one of live persons to give $lOOO or $2OOO each, during the next sixty days, for the same object. Lutheran. —Our readers will have DOticed that a good many revivals have been recently noticed in the Observer. Special services have been held by many of our pastors. _ A religious awakening more or less extensive has been experienced in many congregations. Hundreds of immortal beings have been brought to a saving knowledge of Christ, and have already been confirmed, or will be at the approaching Spring Communions. From the letters that come to hand we are satisfied that there is a very encouraging state of things in our Church, within the bounds of the General Synod. . One feature of the re cent revivals in our Church is, that they are carried on in connection with the regular means o,f grace, and strictly within the Church. The pastors and elders and praying members are tne workers. Neighboring pastors lend their aid. The truth is faithfully preached by ministers on the ground and those who live near the place. There is more general reliance on the truth of the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit, and less on men and their manner of presenting the truth. It is felt that Christ, by the ordinary instru mentality ordained by himself, can build up His kingdom. The result has been deeper religious conviction, clearer perception ot tbe truth by the awakened, more thorough con versions, more solemnity in the services, and a purer love ofpiety.-- Lutheran Observer. Episcopal—At the semi centennial cele bration of Trinity Church in New Haven, February 20 th, a collection of $262-.was taken for building a new window to «me morate the event —The Carolina, in convention at Ohaileston, beb. 16th, resolved to return into union with the Church in the United States. After the adoption of the resolution the Convention rose and sung the Gloria in Excelsis. St. Paul’s Church, New Orleans, has, at an ex pense of $3OO, placed upon its walls a tablet in memory of its late Diocesan, Right Rev. and Gen. Leonidas Polk. The latter of the above titles is very wisely left out from the marble.-r —The Diocesan Board of Missions of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, is aiding in the support of twenty-nine laborers within its bounds, at an aggregate expense of $5574. An itinerant missionary has recently been' appointed to visit and minister in the unsup plied villages along the line of the Pennsyl vania Railroad. TPe Board asks, for the means of carrying this effort out generally along the routes. ——An Episcopal parish was recently organized in Oil City, Pa., the Presbyteriah church edifice being loaned for the occasion. Methodist.-—The Western Christian Advo cate, Methodist, states that upon a careful examination of its columns for the last five weeks, it fipds that during that time within the bounds of its circulation, over ten thou sand have been added to the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church On the 15th day of April, 1866, the African Metho dist Episcopal Church will have completed the fiftieth year of its organization. The membership now numbers abhut seventy-five thousand. In accordance with the advice of the bishops, the Bth, 15th, and 16th days of April, arc to be devoted to special semi-cen tennial or jubilee services.——The MeUiodist says, there is likely to be some trouble about the transfer of the Churches claimed by the seceding Baltimore Conference. At present they are deeded to the Methodist Episcopal Church. A Washington despatch to the Evening Ppst says:—“The President has issued an order restoring all the churches and parsonagse within the bounds of the Bal timore, Annual Conference, embraced in the State of Virginia, to the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States, held Dy said churches prior to 1861._ This order further states that such possession shall be valid until the civil courts shall have determined in whom the legal title vests. The effect of the ■ order will be to take from under the control of the Conference lately sitting in Alexandria, [the disloyal branch] all suen property, and place it in the possession of the Baltimore Annual Conference of the Methodist Episco pal Church in the United States, which will meet the last of this month in Baltimore city. Baptist.—A new Baptist Church in Stock ton, Hunterdon County, N. J., was. publicly “recognized” by an ecclesiastical council, on the 13th ult. The last National Baptist, gives the following account of the progress ef the work of grace in its churches in this city: —“The pastors of the churches, in which there has been unusual interest, continue to be greatly encouraged. Last Lord’s day baptisms were administered, so far as we have learned, as follows: by Brother Smith, ot the Eleventh Church, sixteen candidates; by Brother Kennard, of the Tenth Church, thirteen; by Brother Wilder, of the Olivet Church, thirteen; by Brother Perry, of the Mariners’ Church, six ; by Brother Lung, of Germantown, eleven; by Brother Simmons, of the Fifth Church, three; by Brother Cas tle, of the First Church, West Philadelphia, six; by Brother Cooper, of the Berean Church, three; by (Brother Jeffery, of the Fourth Church, fiv&t- The work of Divine .grace ia -fihe, Ealliji of Sehuylkill .-Glmrokv- Twenty-first Ward; -tdvahees with augmented power. The sanctuary is crowded each night of the week. Sixteen more were baptized on Sunday evening, and many more are earnestly desiring to see Jesus.” Instruc tion has been commenced in the Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago. While waiting for the erection of a. Seminary build ing, the class is accommodated in the Uni versity. A large and elegant church at La Crosse has recently been burned. No doubt exists that it was a case of incendiar ism, and it is supposed to have been insti gated by rum-seller.-, and their customers. The accounts of revivals, contained in our Baptist exchanges, still continue numer ous. ‘ Micellaneous.—The N, Y. Observer takes from a private letter from Charleston, S. C., the following items• —“Church matters are looking up a little. Jr. Smyth has returned, and has resigned his pastorate, although he still supplies the pulpit. The Zion Presby terian Church occupy the building of the Globe'Chufch, The Central Church will soon re-open; repairs are going on. Rev. Lucien Cuthbert, late of Aiken,. S. C., has settled with the Citadel Square Baptist Church. There is a prospect of a temporary union of the First Baptist Church and the Wentworth Street Church, to re-open the church in Wentworth Street. The Methodist Protes testant Church has been “reconstructed,” and is now a Lutheran Church: Mr. Bow maD, the pastor, his former church uniting. St. Michael’s Church has been repaired and opened. St. Philips is being repaired. The Huguenot stands untouched as yet.” $BOOO in gold was paid in premiums at the late annual pew venting in Rev. Mr. Steb bin’s Unitarian Church in San Francisco. —— A great revival is in progress in Canon City, Colorado, in which the Baptist and Metho dist churches are participants. The way is prepared for the organization of a Presbyte rian Church in that city, as soon as a minis ter o_an be found to occupy the field. The Seminary at Castleton, V t., has been blessed with a special outporjng of the'Spirit. Each scholar attends to her school duties as usual, but all but five or six belonging to the board ing departments have expressed hope in Christ. There is also a werk of grace in Cooper Female Seminary, Dayton, Ohio; and in the Academy at Homer, N. Y. In the latter some forty or fifty pupils are indul ging hope, and the interest is unabated. In Wheaton College, 111., a precious work of grace is in progress. A Noble Charity—Dr. A. G. Egbert, of Mercer County, in this State, who has realiz ed a large fortune from oil lands, recently made the following generous proposal to the Northern Home for Friendless. Children : The Doctor will donate 200 acres, near the town of Mercer, and erect thereon buildings, to cost not less than $lOO,OOO, and capable of accommodating from ; 4oo to 500 children. The benefits of the institution are to accrue to all friendless children, but especially to the orphans of soldiers and sailors. Mr. Watson, also of Mercer County, will contribute an ad ditional $50,000’. *rhe ground for the build ings is to be broken early in the spring. The institution is to .be controlled jointly by the managers of the Northern Home and a board of officers from Western Pennsylvania. These noble offers were unanimously aocepted by the managers of the Homeland the neces sary committees for their early consumma tion appointed.. No present benefit, however, accrues from this donation to the Northern Home. _^ n nual Report of the Managers of of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital for 1865.

The Directors of the “Revenue Extension Silver Mining Company,” pf this city, have re ceved a telegram from their Superintendent, dated Austin, February 22, 1866. He says:— “Atwork on Revenue Extension mine; ore taken out to-day assayed $457 45 to the ton. Work on Hopkins’ Tunnel has advanced seventy feet under contract. ’ ’ This is very flattering news for all interested, and gives every indica tion of early receipts of bullion by the Com pany. The very rich yield of ore from the Ex tension Mine at this early stage of working, is an undoubted evidence of the reliability of the vein, and that the surest proof that the state ments heretofore made in regard to the value of this mine have not been exaggerated. The rapidity with which work is being pushed upon the Tunnel is also highly encouraging, as a dis tance of seventy feet has been accomplished in twenty days by working day and night. Every effort will be made to push the development of this extensive property as rapidly'as possible, and, together with the very rich workings of the Revenue Extension Mine, it will ere long furnish large returns of bullion. Now that we have actual results from the mines, there is little doubt that the stock of the “Revenue Extension Silver Mining Company” will prove the best of this class of investments yet offered, and a continuace of the energy and economy now evinced by the officers of this Company will assuredly result in flattering success.

He affirms that headache is ciireinjv'bue-wOrifliist below tFe breast bone"; that one placed over the itomach will cure hysterics, as well as dysentery, and affections of the bowels.” CURE OF VARICOSE VEINS. City Point, Va., January 24, 1865. T. Allcock A Co.—Seeing your notice in the Police Gazette, I got four of your Porous Plasters and placed them on the parts where the pains were most severe* and in less than twelve hours could walk as well as ever. I could hardly believe it, I was so well pleased. I wanted to see if the lameness would come hack on me or not, so I did more walking on that day than I had done in a week. The next day I had some pain in my hip, but I put on a plaster there, and in two hours the pain was all gone, nor have A felt it since. Certainly they arc the best application for*the relief and cure of pains in the joints and back, and for vari cose or enlarged veins, I have ever known’, and I would not be without them on.any account. Tours, truly, JOSEPH GATEWOOD. PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. —It is not likely that the popularity of this celebrated medicine will in any measure decrease, or that the demand for it will in the slightest degiee decline, until some other specific for allaying pain and curing the various ills for which the Pain Killer is used shall he discov ered of equal potency with it—of which there would seem to be little probability at the present day. We understand that the cost of some of the ingredients of which the Pain Killer is comppsed, has very much increased since thecommencement of the war, though the price of the medicine has been but very little ad vanced. Indeed it is not only one of the very best and most reliable medicines in use for numerous ills, but it is also one of the cheapest. As a remedy for stomach complaints at this season, or any season of the year when they occur, we regard it as of the very highest value; and we speak from experience when we say this, for we have repeatedly tried it, and invari ably with the happiest results and the greatest satis faction. When various other things failed, and we were growing alarmingly worse, we have taken the Pain Killer and found it to work like a charm. Three doses^half a teaspoonful each in a wine glass of water or mi,jk with a little sugar—has effectually cured us when quite unwell.— Providence Advertiser. 1031-3 t AHousehold.
