In Boston, March 18th, the churches joined in a solemn renewal of covenant and in the evening a vast assemblage celebrated a union Commu nion service in Park Street Church. Colches ter, Conn.“ The town seems to be moved. Rev. Jno. D. Potter, the evangelist, is labor ing there.

Seven were added to this Church at the late Communion service, and a number of conversions have recently taken place in the congregation. The new organ nation in Washington have also purchased a lot. The six Congregational Churches in Chicago have 1100 members. Lutheran. —The Lutheran Observer has a letter from Rev. A. J. Cromer, of Mount Mion Church, Pa., —a Church which is enjoy ing a large amount of thrift—enclosing the names of new subscribers, and then adding ■the following exemplary account:—“ This brings the Observer into every family of this congregation." Brother Cromer has cer tainly learned one secret of a successful pas torate. The Lebanon Lutheran Confer •ence, in view of the present effort to procure it legislative sanction of Sabbath desecration* .adopted a series of resolutions, of which the following is the key note j That we, as a Conference hold that the Divine law of the Sabbath is still binding, having never been repealed, and that men break the Sabbath or any part ofit in which they engage in any labor not called for by necessity or mercy.” Episcopal.—Rev. Dr. Baleh, many years of Bishops, has accepted an ..jlivitatioh to remove to Montreal, and become -one of the staff of clergy in the Cathedral of that -city. The following is decidedly curious. *■' The Witness, recording the late ordination to ...the Diaconate by Bishop Eastburn, of Massa chusetts. of the lour gentlemen named below, addfft—“ Weiiave spoken of Dr. Smith as - coming frouFthe Congregationalists. Mr. fCttleton was from them. Mr. Haugh ton and Mr. Winslow were students at An dover. , It may also be added that all the Presbytery officiating as presenters, and in the desk and pulpit, were, with one excep tion, educated as Oongregationalists. This may also be-said of more than one half of the clergy on tKejfioor of the Church. Taken as . a whole, weiplve never attended an ordina dianin which there was so much to enjoy.” Other Revivals— The whole community in Htttnilton, New York, and the Madison (BaptistMJnivcrsity ar6 powerfully underthe influencerbf the Holy Spirit. There are three hundred cases of awakening. Poughkeep eie, New York is also the sceneof a great work of grace. Rev. Alfred Cookman, (Methodist) of this city, has gone to aid his brother, also a pastor in that place.—ln Washington City according to the Boston Recorder , four or five hundred have been converted and ninety six have joined the Fourth Presbyterian Church, Dr. Smith’s, in four months.

The sum of $1249 50 was subscribed, of which Horace Greeley gave $lOO. He was the principal speaker, and he himself surprised at the attendance ■ considering that “ there are in New York and Brooklyn 10,000 persons who call them selves Universalists.’ M. Erdan, writing from Naples on the 14th ult„ to the Paris 2emps, says that five priests have been married during the month, one of them be ing a Franciscan monk.
