We use the ird simply in the technical, historical sense.] Philadelphia 0. S. Presbytery.— The Rev. R, . Weßtbrook, T).

Freedmen’s Presbyterian Church. —A corres >ndent writes from Columbia, Tenn.:—A colored •esbyterian Church, Old School, was dedicated at dumbia, Tenn., on the 23d of December. The edi ;e is 35 by 60 feet, two stories ; and is designed both ir a church and school. The freedmen manifest , little interest in having an organization of their svn, elders of their own, grounds and buildings of leir own, deeded to them. This is, perhaps, the jt dedication of the kind in the Old School connec >n in Tennessee. — JY. Y. Observer. The Western Presbyterian Centenary is elicit ' facts as to the early history of the West. The )tist claim that the first Church founded in the .e of Ohio was the Baptist Church at Columbia, ir Cincinnati. That was just 76 years ago. On i other hand, the Presbyterians claim that a Pres ierian Church was founded at Marietta, Rev. Mr. >rey, pastor, eight months previously to this. The Presbyterian Church organized in Cincinnati, liy Rev. James Kemper, in 1790.' The first ihodist sermon preached in Ohio was by Rev. .in Kohler, in 1780. Presbyterianism in New Hampshire. The itch Irish Presbyterians came to N ew Hampshire early as 1719. The first settlement waß made in e southern part of the State upon the large tract ion after known as Londonderry. Accessions were irly and numerously made to the colony chiefly by ■ migration, and soon the tide took a northwesterly iurse until the towns of Bedford, New Boston, itersboro,’ and Antrim were peopled with sturdy in of faith and prayer. Hence, wherever they icatedin sufficient numbers to form churches, they lopted the Presbyterian policy. There* are now seven Presbyterian churches in lie State—Antrim, New Boston, Bedford, London derry, Windham, Manchester, and Litchfield. The first five of these are strong vigorous churches, with an aggregate membership of over nine hundred. The church of Manchester, located on the west side of the river in the suburban village of Piscataquog, is a missionary enterprise organized in 1859. It has struggled for life amid many unpropitious circum stances, and is now in a feeble state without a stated supply or regular worship. The church of Litch field, though situated in the " intervale” of the Mer rimac, of unsurpassed fertility, in a beautiful street, and in the richest town in the State for its popula tion, lias never enjoyed marked prosperity. In the town of Windham, Litchfield, and Bedford, no other ecclesiatical organizations exist. Antrim, Litchfield and Windham are without settled pastors. There are other fragmentary Presbyterian ele ments in the State. Until within a few years Peters boro’had a Presbyterian polity.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1867. “The First Church of Derry” is a union of Presby terian and Congregational elements. And during the long pastorate of the late Mr. Parker, it was regularly represented in’the Presbytery of London derry. The First Congregational Church of Derry, was formed iu part of a section of the Londonderry Church, when its present house of worship was erected on a new site in 1837. The town of Auburn in other years had a Presbyterian Cliurcb. And from all those old Presbyterian towns there have migrated to Manchester, Nashua and many other cities and villages many families of sterling worth, that have become very pillars in Congregational churches in those places. —Congregationalism [New Jersey, then, is not the only State in which churches have changed their relations in large num bers.] Installation. —The Rev. D. C. Frank, for several years pastor of a Congregational Church in Canada East, has been installed pastor of the Presbyterian Church in New Boston, N. H., by the Presbytery of Londonderry. The Reactionists of the 0. S. Church have alarmed our contemporary, the Presbyterian, at last. One oftheir articles (signed “A Minority Man,”) has been rejected, and the whole series, with additions, is announced as coming out in pamphlet form. Bet ter have refused the first of them. Result of Revival Work. —The bounds of the 0. S. Synod of Pittsburg, have been the scene of re peated Presbyterial conventions, to discuss such questions as “What is a revival? What means ought to be employed in seeking a revival, and what encouragements have we to use them ? What hin derances stand in the way ? How can they be removed or overcome?” As a result, the five Pres byteries composing it report accessions of 603 in 1864, 686 in 1865, and 1125 in 1866. Pacific Coast. —A new Presbyterian Church (0. 5.,) has been organized at Visalia, Cal. The nearest Presbyierian church is 175 miles distant, at Stock ton. Fourteen members have come forward, and others are expected. Revivals. — Payne; 0., church is enjoying an en couraging revival. Twenty members were added at New London , Pa., at the last communion, making seventy during 1865-66. . At German Valley , N, J., over forty have been awakened, most of whom ex press hope in Christ. At Petersburgh, 111., over fifty conversions are reported. A work of grace is in progress at Lycoming Centre, Pa.; many are hopefully converted, and the church is expected to treble its numbers. Dedication. —On Sabbath, the 23d of December, a church edifice was dedicated to the service of God, at Mechanicsville, Cedar Co., lowa. The Church was organized eleven years ago, and has been self sustaining for five years. * Dead. —Judge Perkins, of the “ Oaks,” near Co umbus, Mississippi, who died recently, in the eighty sixth year of his age, gave within the last few years not less than $BO,OOO for Christian uses. He gave the Theological Seminary at Columbia, sixty thou sand dollars, ($60,000) forty thousand of which went to endow the professorship of “ Natural Sciences in 'connection with Revealed Religion.” A Veteran Gone* —Rev. John Munson, so long known in the Presbytery of Allegheny as “Father Munson,” died at his residence in London, Mercer county, Pa., on the 18th of December, in the eighty third year of his age. His ministry in that county had extended over a period of more than forty years. Dr. Wadsworth to Stay in California. We are glad, sayiiHie Pacific of Dec. 27 th, to have the as surance coopained in the Times of the 24th, thatthe .excellent Doctor has decided to remain here, not withstanding the urgent call he has had to go East. His sermon of Sunday last, in behalf of the Protes tant Orphan Asylum, was remarkably pathetic and eloquent. Judging his pulpit performances by the sermons we have heard and read, we should pro nounce them rich spiritual and intellectual feasts. First E eformed Presbyterian Church of New York. —The Rev. Dr. McLeod delivered a discourse, Sabbath, Jan. 13, commemorative of the seventieth anniversary of the organization of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church in that City. He stated that for sixty-six years the pastorate lias been held by father and sou, (Drs. Alex, and John N. McLeod, successively; both being being installed at the age of twenty-seven, and in the old Chambers St. Church; and both having filled the pulpit for a period of thirty-three years. During the past thirty-three years some seventeen hundred and twenty-five per sons had been admitted to the Church, and from this organization over three others had been formed. The Church was first organized at the house No. 15 Peck slip in 1797, thence to Chambers street in 1801, and thence to 12th street. The congregation is now in a flourishing condition, and claims to be the oldest Presbyterian Church in New York, but one, (Dr. Spring’s, O. S.) that has continued its original ecclesiastical connection. First R. P. Church, Phila— This “Mother of Churches” has raised the pastor’s salary from $2,500 to $3,500, by a unanimous vote. The church was established at the close of the last century, and has sent out nearly thirty ministers of pie gospel, but has only had two pastors—the present incumbent, Dr. T. W. J. Wylie, being the son of the first, Dr. S. B. Wylie, who was ordained in 1799. The mem bership is estimated at about 800. Death of a Pioneer Preacher. —Rev. John W. Morrison died at Lake Forrest, 111., on the sth inst. For a quarter of a century he preached the Gospel, as a minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, with clearness, eloquence, and fidelity. In many a Western settlement the first sermon ever preached was uttered by his voice, and the first baptism was performed by his hands. The congre gation of Bloom, where, for twenty-one years, he was pastor, grew from a handful of Christless sett lers into a large, intelligent, well-organized, praying congregation under his ministry; and his funeral exercises were blessed to the revival of religion in the hearts of many who wept around his gralve.

The operations of the Associa tion are to extend over the whole of Scotland, with G 1 isgow for its centra. The Professorship of Evangelistic Theology. — Dr. Duff, taking the matter in hand with his cnar acteristic energy and zeal, has succeeded in raising £lO,OOO ($50,000,) for the endowment of this new Free Church professorship, and has consented to allow himself to be nominated for the position. His nomination is understood to be equivalent to his unanimous appointment, as the other candidates have withdrawn their names. OTHER DENOMINATIONS. Baptist. —Rev. J. A. Smith, D. D., in a commu nication to the Western Pulpit on the subdivisions and prospects of the union of the Baptist denomi nation, furnishes these statistics : Regular Baptists, 1,040,303; Disciples, Campbellites, 300,000; Free will Baptists, 56,738; Seventh-Day Baptists, 6,686; Six Principles Baptists, 3,000; Winnebrennarians, 23,800; Antimission Baptists, 50,000; Christians, 33,640; Dunkers, 20,000. Total, 1,544)167. Of these the “Christians” reject the doctrines of the Trinity, and the Campbellites undervalue Christian experience, bolding faith to be an intellectual assent to the truth. Gifts in 1866.—Mr. Vassal, of Poughkeepsie, has given nearly $500,000; Gardner Colby, of Boston, $75,000; Colgate & . Trevor, of New York, $75,000; Tracy H.

Some of the Bibles, which were presented by the first missionaries, almost forty years ago, were preserved, and often stealthily read during Ranavalona’s long reign: one of the present mis sionaries obtained a copy which had been carefully read by the people. In the time of the persecution they seem to have had intelligent and pious men to instruct and guide them. PREMIUMS FOR 1867-8.
