V,STNINSTER CHURCH. UTICA, N. Y.
....Th e formal transfer of this church
from the 'Mohawk, Old School, lo the.
mica, Sew School Presbytery, has
taken Place, this being the condition on
which President Fisher accepted their
a ll to the pastorate. Hitherto, when
natisters of one of these branches of
t h e Church have accepted a call from
a church of the other, the minister has
ihaßg ed his ecclesiastical relation;leav
jhg that of the church intact. We see
no reason why the obligation to con
form should not be as strong upon the
I , eo ple as the pastor ; and if this West
minster Church really must have Dr.
Fisher, we believe they have taken the
Blast graceful method of accomplishing'
their wish. The installation took place,
if there was no break in 'the arrange
nentß, last Thursday, - Prof. M.cllvaine,
o f Princeton College, the first 'Piaui;
leaching the sermon. Dr. Fowler, of
the Utica First church, was appointed
to deliver the charge to the pastor,and
Dr. Campbell, of - Rochester, the late
oeetor, that to the people. We have
een no account of the exercises, but
with such an array, installers and in
alled inclusive, we hazard little in
taring that it was an occasion of ex
:raordinary interest.
A NEW SCHOOL INTEREST. IN THE
MIAMI UTIIVERBITY.—This weli:•known
Ohio institution is under the patronage
and control of the Old School Presby
terian Church. Efforts have recently
been made for a revival of its prosperi-
:r, not the least important of which is
the securing of an able and popular
President, in the person of Rev. Dr. R.
I, Stanton, the Moderator of the last
General Assembly of that branch. Dr.
Stanton visited the New School. Synod
Cincinnati, at its late meeting, and
served an important arrangement to
:'te following effect. The Synod nrider-1
takes to endow a professorship in the
University. Tliis done, the Synod
:ominates the incumbent of the Chair
thus endowed, and, in connection with
the Board of Trustees, designates the
departments of instruction to which
Kell endowment shall be applied. This
afnodical endowment is farther to be
placed under the management of a special
Board of Trustees, appointed by the
Synod from among persons connected
I:th its churches, and incorporated by
:rgislative enactment. Personally, min
,terially, and on the score of loyalty,
:en men among our Old School brethren
would be more acceptable in such a
median, than Dr. Stanton, and we pre-
Intie his connection with the Universi
:y bad no small effect in disposing the
;Synod for this arrangement.
A VALUABLE AND TIMELY DONATION.
—ilev. D. K. Turner writes to us from
Hartsville : " Our congregation re-
ADtly sent to the Rev. A. B. Goodale,
acme Missionary at Belle Plain, Minn.,
h 1 )0X of cithing, bedding, and other
articles, valued on a fair eittimate at
We have since received letters
'coal him and his wife, in which they
cpresa the warmest gratitude' for the
present, and say that it comprised just
the things they needed to make them
comfortable through the long cold win
before them.. When the ladies
began the work, I supposed that the con
tents of the box might reach the value
$lO or $BO. Our unexpectedly large
ikeess will, I have no doubt, tend to
increase the missionary spirit among
oar people."
TRAIN - DM A SABBATH SCHOOL IN THE

nied also with some tasteful device in
evergreens and flowers, designed by
the class to some friends of the School.

the pastor, of incidents of day-schools

ground. Presents of books were also

Barr, pastor of the Church at Muncie, Ind.,
in a business letter to the Cincinnati F'resby
ter, says :—" I have been very busily engaged
in a meeting ever since our Synod adjourned.
There seemed to be a call to improve the
happy influence exerted by the brethren
while here. So far fifteen persons have united

and we hope that the Saviour has greater
things in store for us."
A Church,,Organized among the Freed
men.—A member'of the Presbytery of Con
cord, in North Carolina Presbytery—in con
nection -with the Southern Assembly—having
had great experience in labors with the
colored people, and finding it impossible to
labor With advantage in their 'behalf under
any, plan of his own church, accepted a'com
mission from the Old;' School Assembly's
Committee on Freedmen. He writes to The
'.Pres6yterian :--" For this I was called to an
account 'by the Presbytery of Cmicord, and
required eitherqo return the commission-by
the next regular meeting of the Presbytery,
or withdraw from that body. In themeatt 7
time the work was continued among the
freedmen with gratifying . .success;; tho Ugh
no churches were organized, as that was
strictly forbiddeii by the Presbytery. At
the late meeting of the Presbytery at
"Morganton I informed, that body, by letter,
that r could not abandon the work in which
I was then engaged,' and, according to the
requirement of their own resolution, with
drew, and, with others, formed a new Pres
bytery, called Catawba. Returninito my field,
much 'refreshed, encouraged andistre'ngthen
ed by council with'the brethren, I proceeded
at once to take measures'for the organization
of a church on my own greundsi , 'and .on

was organized. Fifty-six persons were ex
amined and enrolled, and five others were
received as catechumens. Six elders Were.

ter. On the following Sabbath the commu
nion of the Lord's Supper was administered,
and seventeen new members were added, and
one catechumen was received, making in all
seventy-three members and, six catechumens.
About twenty of 'this number joined the
church for the first tilne,'and received the
ordinance of baptism. "A congregation of
over five hundred were present, and, seemed
deeply interested in the services. The
e l ected officers performed their duties with
great propriety and acceptance. A few white'
persons were attracted by the unusual cha
racter of the services, and expressed them
selves as agreably surprised at what they had
witnessed."

place, which, for about eighteen months, has
been vacant, • has received', as a. pastor Rev.

"In sending forth this noblest poem of 'the great
est poet that ever sprung from the bosom of the peo
ple' to the world of happy,homes, the publishers find
their excuse—if such could ever be needed—partly
from the fact that it has never before been detached
from the collected works of Burns, to receive the
adornments of art which have been so bountifully and
lovingly bestowed on Gras's ' Elegy,' Goldsmith's
' Deserted Village,' Coleridge's Ancient Mariner,'
Thompson's 'Seasons,' and other kindred treasures•
of English verse; but chiefly in the cordial enthusiasm
with which artist, engraver, printer and binder have
lent their happiest skill to present it in attire harmo
nious with its spiritual beauty, and worthy of its es
sential preciousness."
