The Presbytery of California met at San Fran cisco on the 15th of March, and formed a dozen Chinese converts into a Christian church—an event which may have historic interest hereafter. The application of the people, which was couched in very modest but earnest language, is dated and signed as follows : "San Francisco. in the sth year of rung. Cha, first month, 25th day. "Kum Ah Lum, Sam alien, Tam Shing, Sho To Ming, An Yeang Shing, Mung Mau l Chin Shing Sheang ' Woo Tsun, Yuen Tsoi Sheang Ke, Fung Shai Wo, Leang Tih Foo, Wang Ah Heng.' Chin Shing Sheang, a Chinese convert who had been baptized in China, but removed to San Francisco, California, where he be came a member of the little church, has been elected and ordained a ruling elder in it. Last Winter's Revivals in the 0. S. Church.—The Presbyterian says :—" The fol lowing churches report .accessions to their number of over one hundred persons, by pro fession of faith in Christ, during the past year :—Fagg's Manor, (Presbytery of New Castle,) 165. Colerain, (Presbytery of Done gal,) 146. Johnstown, (Presbytery of Alba ny,) 135. German church, Williamsburg, (Presbytery of Nassau, ) 120. German church, (Presbytery of New York,) 120. Newton, (Presbytery of Newton,) 116. Columbus Grove,. (Presbytery of Findlay,) 109. Not tingham, (Presbytery of St. Clairsville, ) 109. Williamsport, (Presbytery of Northumber land,) 107. Cadiz, (Presbytery of St. °lairs ville,) 102. South Salem, (Presbytery of Chillicothe,) 102. First Church, Peoria, (Presbytery of Peori,) 100. The Synod to whose churches the largest number of addi tions, by profession of faith, has been made, is the Synod of Philadelphia—the whole number reported by its Presbyteries is 3224, being between one-fifth and one-sixth of the entire number added to the whole Church last year. The Presbytery to whose chur ches the largest number of additions, by pro fession of faith, has been made, is the Pres bytery of New Castle—the whole number re ported being 696. The adjoining Presbytery (Donegal) reports 609. The old centres of the Church seem to have been abundantly blessed by God during the past year. How many prayers uttered by departed saints may have been answered in these revivivals." New Missionary Field.—The Canadian Presbyterians have found that our side of the line is an appropriate missionary field for them, and are accordingly gathering a con gregation in Chicago to be ecclesiastically connected with their Synod. Rev. Dr. Or miston, of Hamilton, was there a few days since, preaching and otherwise forwarding the work. It is a little singular that, among all the branches of the Presbyterian family established in Chicago our Canada friends could find no fold to which they could entrust their sheep. We are already known by more names than nine-tenths of our people under stand. Knoxville, 111.—We have had a very pre cious state of things in Knoxville during the spring and first months of summer; and the continuance of the interest, especially, has been its chief peculiarity. We have already received some sixty, and others are waiting to try their new life. Twenty-five were bap tized in the presence of God's people, among whom were a number of gray-headed men and women ; sixteen heads of families were in the number. We have had two commu nions since the work of God began in this special manner, and though our last was in the depth of harvest, yet the people of God came up to the feast with one Heart and mind. Surely the old broken down congre gation of Knoxville will not forget how great things the Lord hath done for them.—Cor. Pittsburgh Banner. Southern. The decease of Rev. Dr. James C. Patterson, of Griffin, Ga., an aged and highly-esteemed minister of that State, is announced; also the death, by be ing thrown from a carriage, of Rev. Dr. J. J. Robinson, of' Rogersville, Tenn., formerly President of Maryville College.—Revivals are reported from Sardis Church, Harnet county, N. C., Cleveland and New Provi dence, Tennessee, and Cypress Chapel, Nan semond county, Va. To the latter church there have been seventy accessions by profes Sion. Congregational—The church at East Sa ginaw, Mich., received sixteen by letter and fifty-eight by profession at its last commu nion—the results of a series of Union meet ings commenced in April.—Andover Semi nary this year graduated twenty-three stu dents. Three only of the number have as yet given themselves to the foreign service. Six or seven have determined to labor in the West.-----A correspondent of the Boston, Re corder, in an account of the commencement at lowa College, located at Grinnell, says that the religious state of the college is highly satisfactory. God favored it with an interesting revival last winter and the winter before. The characteristic of the revival the past winter was the deepening of the work of grace in the hearts of Christians.—Rev. Dr. Barstow, long an eminent New Hamp shire pastor, has retired from the active duties of his pastorate in Keene, but remains apastor emeritus.—Rev. Silas McKeon, D.D., of Bradford, Vt., after a pastorate of fifty-two years, the oldest in the State, has resigned.—We see it stated in the secular papers that "Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone has raised quite a breeze in San Francisco by pitching into the newspapers and holding the press responsible for what be terms the desecration of the Sabbath in California." The Boston Recorder says of this:—" Some express the fe4r that he will injure his popularity by so doing. We are glad to know that Dr. Stone Las taken New England and even Puritan New England principles to California. We have never seen a Christian minister's popu larity, which was of any value, destroyed or blasted by his being a consistent man." Reformed Dutoh.—Mr. Silas D. Childs, of Utica, N. Y., has left several very liberal be quests to this i denomination, of which he was an unostentatious but consistent member. We notice $5OOO each to its Foreign Mis sionary, Domestic Missionary, and Publica tion Boards; $5OOO to aid in building a new edifice for the Reformed Dutch church in !Itica, and $5OOO to be expended for procur- IDA and maintaining in it good music. His will contains also larger bequests for more general objects. $25,000 is given to found and endow a Professorship of Agricultural Chemistry in Hamilton College, and $5OOO for purchasing books, instruments and other facilities for said professorship ; also $25,000 ~„te the Utica Orphan Asy Re form e d tch church was organized in Washington, butchess Co., on the 24th ult.—The South Classis„ of Bergen, N.

Seven hundred have professed conversion since the meeting of the Conference.—Our Metho dist exchanges record the deaths of Rev. Wm. C. Filler, of Lancaster, Ohio, and Rev. Gad S.

The object is to obtain a location more central for the Confer ences whose patronage is particularly sought, and also an increase of endowment —A notice is issued for the holding of the annual meeting of the National Association of Local Preachers, in Brooklyn, commencing Sep tember 29.* Episcopal—Christ Church, South Am boy, N. J., has lately received a noble gift of $5OOO, an endowment for its parish school, as a "thank-offering to our Heavenly Father for that house not made with hands, pre pared for her beloved husband, the late Com modore Thomas Anderion Conover, United States Navy," born his widow, long the gen erous friend and benefactor of this parish. —The corner-stone of a new Episcopal Church in Hestonville, in the Twenty-fourth Ward in this city, was laid on the 25th ult., with the usual ceremonies. In the absence of the Bishop, Rev. Mr. Smith, of West Philadelphia, officiated.—On Wednesday night, July 25th, Rev. William M. Van Wagenen, Assistant Minister at the Church of the loly Trinity, suddenly departed this life. He retired in about his usual health, and the next morning, was found dead in his bed.—Rev. Dr. Leeds, Rector of St. Pe. ter's Church, Philadelphia, has returned to this country from his foreign tour. He ap pears very much benefitted by the trip, and meets with hearty congratulations from his people and friends. Baptist.—A new Baptist church has been organized in Bridgeton, N. J. It takes for its locality the premises formerly occupied by the old church, and abandoned by them seve ral years since on account of their distance from the centre of population, but now, by the growth of the city in that direction, sur rounded by wellings.—During the last five months, one hundred and forty persons have been added to the church of which Rev. J. M. Williams is pastor, in Baltimore. For four months, meetings of the most solemn character were continued every evening.— A Baptist churbh has just been organized in Lackawaxen, Pa., under encouraging auspi ces. —A revival is in progress in North Lyme, Conn., in the midst of the harvest season, and among a people of almost exclu sively agricultural pursuits.—Rev.

Bowdoin College.—The correspondent, of the Tribune says : The chapel has just re ceived a new accession of a painting in fresco on one of its panels, by Otto, of New York, which does that artist considerable credit. It is a copy of Raphael's " St. Michael and the Dragon" general representation of the contest between Good and Evil. The first panel-pictures, now completed, and those, seven in number, which are to come, will, if the original plan is carried out, present a chronological series of characteristic topics of the Old and New Dispensations, drawn from the best masters, such-as will hardly be found to exist anywhere else in the land. Already the Art Gallery of the college is noted par excellence. The work of erecting a Memorial Hall is proposed—an ornament and an honor to the college, and designed as a tribute to the loyalty of Bowdoin's sons in the hour of our country's danger. Last year the alumni voted to erect this Memorial Hall, and Prof. Smyth was appointed Chairman of the com mittee to raise the necessary funds. It is to be a splendid granite edifice, costing about $40,000, one-half of which amount has already been secured. It was hoped that the work of erection would begin shortly after the present Commencement but it is necessarily delayed for a while. When finished, the Memorial Hall will contain tablets -and portraits of Bowdoin's heroes, contributions of relics, etc. Bowdoin's record in the war was not ex celled by the patriotism of any other literary institution in the country. To the army and navy she sent 250 of her sons, and her roll of honor embraces some of those who achieved the highest rank and fame in the tearful strife for nationality. Major- Generals Cham berlain and Howard are among those of her sons who have won a reputation that will ever be preserved and prized. The former gen tleman is one of the College Professors, and is the nominee of the Union party for Gov ernor of Maine. University of Vermont —Commence ment, August 1. Medical graduates, 35.

Shaw, of Westerly, R. I. - Norwich school had its origin in the genius and fertile mind of the late Captain Alden Partridge. He founded the institution as a Military and Scientific School in the year 1822, which, in 1834 was chartered by the legislature of Vermont as a collegiate institu tion, and which, at many periods in the his tory of the country, and particularly at the opening, and through the continuance of the recent war, has been found of very signal ser vice to the Government; vastly more, in fact, than it has ever received reward or even credit for, and entirely beyond the possibility of recalling, with sufficient terms of eulogy, in a brief report like this. Among the alum ni of the school have been the following Maj.- Generals : Truman Seymour, Milroy, Seth Williams, T. E. G. Ransom, W. H. H. Da vis, Augustus C. Dodge and F. W. Lander There have been scores of other distinguished officers of high rank given to the nation by this school, but we can find no room for their names. Capt. Partridge, the founder of the school, died in 1854, having left the institution to other direction in 1847. During Capt. Par tridge's administration there were, some times, 300 students, and since then the num: ber has frequently been very large. Gen. T. B. Ransom, who was killed at Chapulte pec, was the next Priacipal. RE-SUPPLY OF. THE COUNTRY WITH THE BIBLE. At the late Jubilee Anniversary of the American Bible Society, which was held May 10th, 1866, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Society : Resolved, That, relying upon the provi dence and grace of the Almighty God, this Society hereby approves the resolutions adopted by the Board of Managers at their last meeting, to undertake without delay a third general supply of the whole country with the Word of God—a work which is emi nently befitting us as an acknowledgment of Divine . goodness in the vast, and a proper beginning of our second half century. The resolutiollis of the Board of Managers, to which reference is here made, are these Whereas, God in his gracious providence has conducted this Society from small begin nings to a degree of strength and capability which fit it for accomplishing a greater work than ever, and has signalized our Jubilee year as a year of peace and universal freedom throughout our land ; Whereas, It appears, from the correspond ence of our Secretaries, that multitudes throughout our older States are found desti tute of the Word of Life ; and Whereas, Through the desolations of the late civil war, great want of the Scriptures ems' ts in the South and Southwest, and the means of supplying it by former Bible organ izations, there existing, have been almost swept away; and Whereas, Millions of freedmen now thrown upon their own efforts, and passing through a most critical formative state, need the great Charter of duty and privilesoe) and afire anxiously asking for it: Resolved. Mat while this Society feels deeply its obligations to the world, and will go on in its work abroad, it is clearly the duty of the American Bible Society and its numer ous friends, to respond to these indications of what God would have us to do, by at once entering upon the supply of this vast field of want. Resolved, That it is highly befitting that this should be the first work of our second semi-century. Resolved, With the aid of the Gracious Hand which has done so much for us in the past, we will without delay undertake this truly American work, and aall upon all lovers of the Bible and our country to unite with us. At the regular meeting of the Board of Managers, held July 2d, 1866, they adopted unanimously the subjoined plan for accom plishing this great work : 1. Resolved, That it be earnestly recom mended to the local Bible Societies through out the country to adopt measures for sup plying with the Bible, as early as practicable, all destitute families within their respective limits. 2. Resolved, That, in prosecuting this work, regard should also be had to children and youth, who have great need of the Scriptures for Sabbath-school and other purposes, and who should be furnished with the New Testa ment, at least, as far as possible. 3. Resolved, furthermore, That seamen, boatmen, railroad hands, stage-drivers, etc., who are favored with few Sabbath priviges, have increased necessity for the written Word of God, and should be furnished with it; and that special attention should be given to the supply of the freed people of the South, in their schools , families, churches, etc. 4. Resolved, That in entering on the pro posed undertaking, it will be for the benefit of all concerned, that a portion at least, of the funds required for the purchase of books, be raised and forwarded when orders for books are made. The Parent Society will thus be furnished with ready means for pre paring books with economy, and the auxiliaries saved from a protracted, disheartening debt. 5. Resolved, That in effecting the pro posed supply by the auxiliaries, it is desir able that the work be performed, as far as possible, by self-denying volunteers, each taking an assigned district; and that when hired laborers are necessary, 'they be sustained, as far as practicable, by the local societies ; and aid from the Parent Society, when need ed, be sought in the way of books, rather than funds, for colportage. ,6. Resolved, That the various auxiliaries, as they enter on the proposed supply, be re quested to inform this Board when theycom mence their labors, and also furnish the re sults when the work is completed, that the same may be published in the Bible Society Record and Annual Reports. 7. Resolved, That in portions of the coun try where auxiliaries cannot be found, or re lied on for suplying the destitute, the Corn mittes on Distribution and on Agencies be instructed to _adopt such other methods for securing a supply, as may be deemed most expedient and effective.
