WILMINGTON PRESBYTERY.-A special
meeting was held in Glasgow, Del., July
19th. Rev. William Webb, late mis
sionary of the American Board, was
received as a member of Presbytery - .
A. call for the pastoral services of Mr.
Webb, from the church of Glasgow,
b e i n g found in order, was placed in his
hands and accepted by him. The in
stallation services took place the mule
evening. The Moderator, Rev. Dr. Pat ,
ton, presided and put the constitutional
questions; Rev. Wm. Aikman preached
the sermon; Rev. 'George Foot, late
pastor of the church, gave the charge to
the pastor, and Rev. H. J. Gaylord the
charge to the people. The congrega
tion was large. We rejoice to hear of
the good prospects under which Mr.
Webb enters on his charge. A promis
ing feature in his field is the large num
ber of young persons it contains.
Presbytery also received Rev. A. Gu
lick from Hudson Presbytery, and placed
in his hands a call from the newly
organized church at Bridgeville, Del.
The call having been accepted by Mr.
G., a committee was appointed to pro
ceed with his installation, July 26th.
PLEASANT PRAIRIE CREROH,
S. S. H. writes us :—" On the
. night of
the 28th of June last, the hotise of wor
ship of the Pleasant Prairie Church, in
lowa, was unroofed in a lAavy thunder
storm, accompanied with a violent wind,
and the walls of the church edifice were
so shattered by the tempest, as to make
the entire reconstruction of it necessary,
from the foundation. But a few weeks
before, a leading elder in the church was
carried to the grave. And this calamity
following so soon after, imposes a double
trial on the pastor, Rev. Geo. E. W.
Leonard, calling for aid and sympathy.
His address is Cedar Rapids, lowa.
Both he and his congregation are thus
called to see the labors of years destroyed
in a moment, while the people are un
able at once, without assistance, to re
pair the loss of their church. This is
one of the two churches to which Mr.
Leonard has ministered for years, with
success over a large district of otherwise
destitute country."
GOUVERNEUR, N. Y.—Our Church in
this place is among the largest and
most influential in Northern New York.
Rev. B. B. Beckwith, who, for the last
twenty-three years, has with great suc
cess filled its pastorate, six months ago
asked, at the hands of the St. Lawrence
Presbytery, a dismission on the ground of
impaired health, growing out of the
fatigue of long service. The subject
was at the time postponed, and at the
recent meeting of the Presbytery, taken
up, and the dismission effected. At the
same meeting, arrangements were made
for the ordination and installation of
Mr. Newton F. Conklin as his successor,
on the 19th inst. Mr. Conklin comes
to us as a licentiate of the Old School
Presbytery of New Brunswick.
A DISASTER.—We learn with regret,
that the new Third Presbyterian Church
of Pittsburgh met with a serious acci
dent on July 3d, by the falling in of the
rafters of the dome. To repair this
will cause an outlay of from $6OOO to
$lO,OOO, and a delay of some two months
in the completion of the building, which
will be one of the finest in the country.
RlGHT.—Oeeesiollelly of date we have
had the pleasure of recording instances
in which churches have increased the
regular salaries of their pastors. As the
giving season is drawing near, and as
each such season seems to carve for itself
a feature of its own, we can suggest
nothing else so good for the approach
ing one, as a sliding over from the tran
sient donation to the permanent relief.
We preface this suggestion to the notice
of a case in point—that of the Third
Church in Cincinnati, which, as we see
by the Christian Herald, has just added
$5OO to the salary of its pastor, Rev.
Wilbur McKaig.
LANE SEMINARY.-0111* Cincinnati
brethren are just now engaged in the
good work of refitting and refurnishing
the students' rooms and dormitories of
Lana Seminary. We notice .in last
week's Herald, the acknowledgment of
$513 toward the object.
PERSONAL—Mr. James Gilbert Ma-
son, a licentiate of Third Presbytery
of New York, was by that Presbytery
ordained an Evangelist, on the Ist inst.
—Rev. E. F. Fish, late of Stevens
Point, Wisconsin,• has taken charge of
the church in Columbus, in the same
State. Rev. R. G. McCarty, late of
Manchester, Mich., has accepted 'a call
to labor with the church in Tontogany,
Ohio.—Rev. Andrew Parsons has
changed his field of labor from Richfield
Springs, N. Y. to Ottawa, Franklin
county, Kansas.—Rev. A. S. Ried
has closed his labors with the churches
at Rising Sun and Pleasant Ridge, Ind.
UNION IN SCHUYLER PRESBYTERY.-
At the Spring meeting of this Illinois
Presbytery, the 0. S. Church of Hunts
ville, having, , it the suggestion of breth
ren belonging to the 0. S. Presbytery,
disbanded and reorganized, as the N. S.
Presbyterian Church Huntsville, asked
admission into, and was received by our
Presbytery. The Committee on Bills
and overtures reported a.paper as com
ing from a member of the 0. S. Schuyler
Presbytery, inviting this Presbytery to
harmonious effort and co-operation with
that body in the mutual occupation of
the vineyard. The paper and report
were adopted. That Presbytery is even
with us, if not in advance in seeking a
complete organic union.—Presbytery
Reporter.
MAROA, MACON COUNTY, ILL.—June
24, twenty persons entered into covenant
with this Church. The congregation is
engaged in erecting a new house of
worship, 36 by 52 feet. It stands on a
brick foundation, is enclosed and the

can be made.

PRESBYTERIAN.
Revivals.—A letter received from Spring
field, Illinois, says :—" We have had a union
service in town of all the denominations. We
had preaching in the State House every night
(nearly) for twelve weeks. More than aix
hundred were added to the various churches
upon profession of faith. Ninety-two united
with our church at the last communion, of
whom tieventy-two were admitted on exami
nation. "—Presbyterian.---The pastor of the
0. S. Church at Sturgeonville, la., writesas
follows to the Presbyterian Banner :—" Our
church has received an addition of forty-one;
thirty-two of them =examination. Of these
thirty-two, twenty-two were from the Sabbath
school. Thirteen were baptized. Several
were heads of families. The majority were
young, some children. We had a member
ship of only fifty-three before the meetings
commenced. Our numbers have more than
doubled in two years. Many others express
a hope who have not yet joined. Some have
connected themselves with other churches.
More than fifty from our congregation hope
they have found the Saviour. The New
School and MethOdist Churches have also
receivedlarge accessions—the New School
thirty-eight."
Prosperity.—The Presbyterian Church in
Dresden, lowa, organized three years ago
with a membership of 13, now, under the
ministry of Rev. .R. B. Farrar, has forty
communicants, and has just dedicated a very
neat church edifice, erected at an expense of
$2OOO. The Sabbathschool numbers 125
scholars.
U. P. Church in Rochester, N. Y.—The

Rev. J. P. Sankey's, has enjoyed spiritual

Good contributions have also been made to
the various enterprises of its denomination.

Reformed Presbyterian Church, at its May

Resolved, 1. That this Synod hereby reite
rates its direct and emphatic testimony against
the sin of selling and using - intoxicating li

life, and to shun those fascinating, customs
and temptations with which so many are en-
snared and ultimately ruined.

the Church of Dunse, has been released by
his Presbytery, to take charga of the
English F. Church in Cardiff, Wales.—

Testimonial to Dr. Hanna.--July 3d. Rev.
Dr. Hanna was Presented by the congrega
tion of Free St: ifohn's Church, Edinburgh,
with a handsome testimonial in the shape of
a silver. dessert service. A congregational
. meeting was held in the church in the even
ing to welcome their new minister, the Rev.
George Philip, of Glasgow, who was recently
chosen .colleague and successor to the Rev.
Dr. Hanna. There was a large attendance.
The chair was occupied by Dr. Fianna. Mr.
Boyd stated that, as a proof of Di. Hanna's
self-sacrifice, he would accept of only one half
the £l4O he Was entitled to from the' Sus.:
tentation Fund, and, had come to a similar
resolution inegard to the supplemental fund
of £2OO provided by the congregation. This
he had done in order that a colleague might
be appointed, and' also to assist in clearing
off the debt of the church.
The Rev. David Duncan, of the United
Presbiteriap . Church, llowgele, near. Edin
burg, died on the 26th ult 4, from an attack of
fever, after an illness of. seven days. The

the oldest in the United Presbyterian body.,
The first minister, Mr. Bunpr, was ordained

than forty years ; the, second, Mr. M'Ewan,
was ordained in 1796, and died 22d Feb. 1827,
after a ministry of fully thirty years; the
third, Mr. Duncan, was ordained, as already
stated, in 1828, and ably discharged the
duties of his office until death put an end to
his labors: Thus, during a period of 112
years, the congregation has had only three
ministers, giving an average ministry of
thirty-seven years.
Rev. Wm. Anderson. died at the Reformed
Presbyterian Manse, Loanhead, on June 30th.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSIYAPY," , ArtY 2`6,.*1.866.
He was ordained to the pastoral charge of
the Reformed Presbyterian congregation at
Loanhead in 1820, and during the long course
of forty-six years was untiring in his zealous
labors as a minister, and in the persistent
advocacy of every Christian movement of
which he approved. His name is connected
with every struggle for the freedom of the
slave, the purity and inspiration of the Word
of God, the sacredness and integrity of the
Sabbath, and the promotion of temperance.
There was scarcely any -public effort of this
nature in which he did not engage with' his
Whole soul; firm and energetic in the asser
tion of truth and nrinciPle, yet so ordering
his steps and measuring his words that he
never made a personal enemy, and'nniformly
commanded the respect of those to itlom he
was most vehemently opposed. Beyond his'
own congregation`he was esteemed as a great
power for good, and the Christian public
from time to time evinced respect for by
repeated testimonials in acknoWledgment of
his services. About a year ago he was seized
with an, illness which obliged him. to intermit
his public duties, althoukh for forty-five
years previously he had never • been out of
the pulpit for a Sabbath.
Dr. Lee's Case.—The Established Church
Presbytery of Edinburgh, spent a consider
able time at its last meeting, discussing the
steps to be taken in consequence of the remit
of the General Assembly in regard to the
mode of worship in Old Greyfnars Church.
A motion was finally adopted for the appoint
ment of a committee to inquire into the mode
of public worship used in that church since
May, 1859, and also to confer privately with
Dr. Lee as to the manner in which he pro
poses to conduct the worship hereafter. Dr.
Lee and his friends wished the conference to
be public,,but they were overruled. A dis
sent and eoinplaint to the Synod was entered.
Dr. Chalmers and Read Prayers. —Mr.
Peter Mackenzie, an old newspaper proprie
tor and editor in Glasgow, in a letter" to the
Scotsman, contradicts the statement made by
the Rev. Dr. Cumming that Dr. Chalmers
used to read his prayers from manuscript,
stating that from the period the Rev. Doctor
came to Glasgow in the year 1815 till the
period he left in the' yeail.B23, he heard the
whole of his , sermons, with only some two or
three exceptions, and 'affirming that during
the whole of that period, Dr. Chalmers never
once read any of his prayers from manuscript
in his pulpit.
New Churches.—The U. P.'s are about to
build in Sterling. The church will . seat 700
to 860, and cost
Congregational—The Church in New
Milford, Conn., has, for the last three months,
been enjoying a deep and quiet work of grace.
The Sabbath-school has • been especially
blessed. Thus far fifty-four have been ,re
ceived to the communion.—The Vermont
Missionary Society has secured the I services
of fourteen'students from, the senior claSs in
Union Theological SeminarY, to supply des
titute, pulpits, and perform pastoral work in
that State during the ;summer vacation.—
An effort is in progress to erect, at an ex
pense of $75,000,'a new building for the
Congregational Theological Seminary in Chi
cago. It is expected' to contain a chapel, li
brary, five lecture-rooms; and rooms for one
hundred students.—Eleven young men
from the Bangor Seminary, received license
from the Penobscot (Me.,) Association, on
the 11th inst.—The Christian Mirror
says that, 'on the Sabbath after the fire. in
Portland, Rev. Mr. Walker, the pastor of
one of the Congregational Churches in that
city, informed the members of his congrega
tion that, he felt gratefulr to them, when at
their last annual• meeting they made (in view
of their own prosperity and of the increased
expense of living,) a very generous addition
to their, pastor's salary.
.11 became now his
`pleasure in view of their losses, to relinquish
what they then gave 2 in some small token of
his fellowship in their calamity.
Methodist —Our Methodist friends were
very successful in their late fair in Concert
Hall, in this city, the nett proceeds amount
ing to some $20,000. They are to be applied
to the building of a home for the aged and
infirm of their church.—The,Sering Garden

city, on a recent Sabbath, raised $20,000
a sum sufficient to liquidate the debt fortheir
church edifice and parsonage.—Rev. A. L.
Long, of the M. E. mission, arrived in this
city on the 21st ult. He comes to superin
tend the publishing of the Scriptures in the

The New Orleans Advocate, speaks of a great
change of mind and heart in a Southern
preacher who, says the Advocate : "From
witnessing the spirit of our inis.sionaries and
the effects of his ministry upop the colored
people, deeded to the Missionary Society a
property at half its real value, and took upon
himself the care and expense , of having it
fitted up for the purpose of public worship,
and as a school room. ''—The Rockland, Me.,
District Ministerial Association propose to
signalize the Centennial year by a return to
the ancient piety and simplicity of manners
of the denomination, and resolved "that as
pastors, we will, without needless delay, ad
dress ourselves to the work,of prudently en
forcing our rules in favor of personal piety,
involving attendance upon family worship;
class and prayer-meetings, and deprecating
extravagance in personal equipage and dress."
—We would not suggest that our Metho
dist brethren are at all lapsing into relic wor
ship, but in their unsparing purpose to make
the centenary yield the utmost, they are get
.ting. worship out of the relics. At a late
highly remunerating centennial demonstration
in the old John Street Church, in New York,
there was exhibited and used by the Chair
man of the meeting, the first pulpit chair
used by a Methodist. Bishop in this country;
two candlesticks which belonged to Barbara
Hicks, and used by her at the early Methodist
Meetings; the first pulpit desk, and the old
hymn book brought over from England and

list of Bishop Asbury; a polished joist from
the old rigging-loft, and other relics.

counts '
respecting the health of Bishop Ste
vens were not promising.—There is an in
creasing" disposition to adjust the Ephiconal
Church in this country to the English system
of small dioceses. The Wisconsin Diocesan
Convention has, with the.fill approbation Of
its Bishdp, voted in faior of the division of
the diocese. Bishop, Whipple recommended
to his diocese, (Minnesota,) to divide itself
into three convocations, each to be presided
over by a Rural Dean, appointed by himself.
