- Rev. J. Masop,
Dist. See, of American Board,
1334 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
401/)4MA.RY.—One candidate for the ministry
ived, one licensure and one ordination are re
ported; also one minister received from the other
branch and one dismissed to the same. Rev. J.
H...l4eMonagle, said by the gongregationalist to
have heen dismissed in the same manner, is not
on the roll of the last Assembly.
The Presbyteries of Wabash and Greencastle,
Ind., and 1)f . Trumbull, 0., speak of precious re
vivals enjoyed by their churches, in their semi
annual reports.
Rev. Frank S. Robbihs was installed pastor of
Oxford st.. church-, and-Rev. d Garlailidliaiiitcr of
Wharton St. church, in this city, hist Sunday
••night. The serviiea_xere deeply interesting and'
largely'attended: •
The Fraakford Chapel is, now complete, and
some services have been held, in it. It is the
counterpart of the Oxford Chapel in size and ap
pearance.
The contributions for Publication for February
and March were $1839, 93. Madison Square
Church, New York, contributes $361 48.
The receipts of the ,American Board for
March were $37,207 65, and for the financial
year thus far, $212,813; a trifling loss compared
with last year, al , hough the expenses are greater.
The English Presbyterian Church numbers
112 congregations with a membership of 19,784.
Average of contributions for all purposes, is
about $11.75 in gold, per member.
The friends of the Sabbath in Baltimore, after
making no mean show at the polls, are now mov
ing to test the legality of the running of the
cars, under the cliarters granted by the city. The
Mayor seems to view their effort with approval.
Four revivals of churches and over one hun
dred conversions are reported this week.
Liberality is increasing in a hopeful degree in
out Western Churches. Alton Presbytery, with
1575 members, contributed $lBB4, 85 to Home
Missions last year; and a lady in St. Louis con
tribnted $5OO for the support of a Home Mission
ary. during the curregt year.
Dods.—We notice in the secular papers, the
warning to owners to look out for their 41. gs, as
the ordinance for the summer slaughter of the
canines found at large and uumuszled, is to be
strictly enforced.. The limiting of. this restraint
to the warm months was a very natural and rea
sonable provision, under the old notion that hy
drophobia was a hot weather disease. But it is
time that Councils should find out what science
and facts have settled years ago, that this awful
malady, even in spontaneous development, is un
der no ban of temperature, and may occur in any
season of the year. Dogs are undoubtedly plea
ant as pets, and sometimes useful, but summer or
winter they should never be•allowed any freedom
which will expose any but those who choose to
keep them and run the risk.
THE DIVINE JUDGMENT DEPRECATED—The
Young Men's Evangelical Association of Cincin
nati, recommended the public observance in that
eity, of the 2d ,instant, as a, day of fasting and
prayer for the averting, of the apprehended visit
of the cholera the coming season. It was &timely
proposal, and one which would be eminently pro
per on the larger scale of the whole country, es
pecially as the impression is so general, thta here,
as in the East, this terrible scourge will take, the
round of the two seasons before departing. We
suggest the subject as worthy of the attention of
the great ecclesiastical meetings of the present
month. The proclamation for a day of public
• .
humiliation and prayer , with reference to. it,
would also,be a fitting expresslon from our na
tional authOrities. •

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The. Committee of arrangements are as busy
as they can b.:, trying to. P,r9Yide handsomely for
the entertainment of the Asssembly. They hope
to give theta a 'CAW welcome, and make them
entirely Comfortable during their stay among us.
We learn, however, from the Cominittee that
they are receiving a great, many applications from
those who are note members of the Assembly,
which it may be difficult for them , to acCommo
date. It has been fond especially diffithilt, we
are told, to find places for ladies; as most of the
families prefer gentlemen guests..
HAMILTON COLLEGE
The, new President ofHamilton College, Sam
uel
G. Brown, D.D., entered upon the. duties of
his office on the 25th of April, .and is now giv
ing instruction to the Senior Class. , His coming
was cordially welcomed by Taculty'and students;
he upon enters his duties under most favorable
•
auspices.; and the many. warm friends of the in
stitution will wish him the most abundant suc
cess in the administration of its affairs.
The Utica Herald makes the following sum
mary of the_gradoates Of Hamilton from the be
ginning : under Dr. Backus, 25 students, in three
classes; under Dr. Davis; 267 students, in seven
teen classes; under Di. Dwight, 33 students, in
two classes; under Dr. Penney, 44 students in
three classes; under Dr. North, 509 students, in
nineteen classes; under Dr. Fisher, 256 students,
in nine classes.
It is thus seen, at a glance, who the Presidents
were, how long each on was at the head of the
institution, and what measure of prosperity at
tended his administration.,
Dr. Goertner is consitantly at work for the
more dimple endowment f the College. He was
in our city a few days his week, and received
some encouragement. In'taccordance with an
,lar
rangement made weeks-Ago, to prepare the way
for 'seeing individilakite , first , preached an-the
Sabbath: very ,acceptably and ably, both in Dr.
.Shaw's and Dr Campbtill's pulpits, on the rela
tions of the College to the Church, or the in:Tor
tance of well sustaining.the College for the sake
of our Christianity: '",'
xosloNAyos IN PERIL
In March, we wrote something about a farewell
meeting in Brooklyn for, some beloved mission
aries of the American Board; and of their em
barkation on what was supposed to be " the good
ship" Pennsylvania for Liverpool.
The following, from a London correspondent
of the Boston Journal, shows how they did not
reach that city as soon as they intended, and how
they met a niost unexpected reception upon the
coast of Ireland. One of the party, Miss Sey
mour, it will be remembered, went, from the Cen
tral church of this city, and leaves many friends
in this region.
TO the Editor of th,e Bostar d:ournal:
"The Fenian excitement in Ireland has taken
a new turn. The Rev. 31r. Trowbridge, and
wife, Miss Seymour, Miss Norcross, and Miss
Wareld sailed from New York in the steamer
Pennsylvania, under the auspices of the Ameri
can Boa}d of Missions, bound, to Turkey. They
were twenty-four days on their passage. A few
days out, their coal failed. A gale came on; the
the screw broke, recourse was had to cotton, ba
con and lard as fuel to get the ship to. port.
After incredible hardships, and the shifting of
the cargo, the hold full of water, and the donkey
giving out; of course, the ship made for Galway.
"The four missionary ladies were put on board
a sloop, and afterwards , transferred to a. boat, "to
land., The sight of a huge steam-ship in the dis
tance and a boat coming to the shore, could sug
gest nothing but ,a landing of armed Fenians.
The alarm was immediately spread, and exhaust
ted and half shipwrecked females were greeted by
200 policeman, attended by double the number of
the populace.' They were not allowed to land,
but were kept two hours in gale and storm while
the baggage was searched. A box of caps in
one package and a pistol in another completed the
consternation Of the authorities.
"It took a great deal of persuasion and many
telegrams to Liverpool, London and other places,
before the ?arty were allolied to proceed on their
way. The prowess, which 200 armed men
kept guard over four females, speaks well for the
vigilance of the Irish police. Friends will be
glad to learn of the good health of these brave
girls, who, came very near being martyrs as well
as missionaries."
Private letters from Mr. Trowbridge speak of
remarkable prayer-meetings on the voyage, and
of striking answers to prayer; and it weald seem
to have been due to prayer, and to the presence
of such servants of our Lord, that there was no
loss, save the damage to the, ship. But next
time the "Pennsylvania" goes to sea, we trust
she will be better prepared for, her trip, at least
for the credit of her• honorable name-sake if not
for her own •comfort and safety.
LONDON, April 5,1867.
R EVIVALS
Twenty-nine persons have recently united with
the Presbyterian church of Holley, a part of the
fruit of the recent quickening in that place un
der the faithful labors of Rev.: IsTathan Bosworth,
their new, pastor. The church, we are told, was
never in a more prosperous condition. The con
gregation indeed, is so much increased of late,
that the need of more room in their house of
worship is beginning to be seriously felt, and they
lire talking of enlargement,
A revival- of marked - :interest. has.isuddenly
sprung up in the Presbyterian (lurch or Livonia,
under the pastoral care of Rev. A.' H. Parmelee.
It is taking hold of some of the le a ding men of
the congregation, and gives promise of spreading
generally in the community. We shall hope to
be able, ere long, to make - further'report of the
blessed work. ,
CHANGES AND ITEMS
Rev. Dbv;gAt Scovel has resigned the pastorate
of the Presbyterian ohurch of Lakeville. He
has been there six years, has labored with great
fidelity and 'uSefulness, but thinks now the time
has come when he cati do more' good somewhere
else. He is a'brother beloved, and will be useful
wherever he, goes.
Rev. D. H. Make / 0 who has been the actin..
and successful pistor for two years of the Con
gregational church of Spencerport; has also'given
up his charge. His health is not good, and he
is going to try to make it better. - 1
Rev. M. E. Dunham of Westmoreland has re
ceived and accepted a call to the Presbyterian
church of Whitesboro. '
Rev. William S. Franklin is to be transferred
in like manner from Camden to Marcellus.
Rev..P. F. Sanborne :of West Bloomfield has
felt constrained to decline .a similar invitation to
the Presbyterian chirch of Wilson.
Rev:Jas. C. Beecher, the youngest, we be
lieve, of Dr. Lyman Beecher's seven ministerial
sons, has been invited to the pulpit of the Con
gregational char& of Owego, and was to com
mence his labors there on the last Sabbath.
Mr. Gideon P. Nichol; 'a graduate of Prince
ton, was ordained to the gospel ministry in this
city, by the RoChester City Presbytery, (O. 5.,)
on Wednesday last. Mr. Nichols was called, and
is preaching very acceptably, to the church of
our conneetlon •id Victor, and it has been their
earnest deaire that he mighthe ordained and in
stalled as their pastor ' but we understand he has
some distrust of his health, and shrinks as yet
from consummating that relation. We hope he
may soon see his way clear to settle down with
that people, who have already become attached to
him.
Rev. Thos. Bellamy, a much esteemed minis
ter of the other 'branch, who has been preaching
for two years past to the small church of Char
lotte, died on Wednesday last, aged 61 yeah.
His end Was peace. - '
At the meeting of Rochester City Presbytery,
(0 8.0 this week the pastoral relation between
Rev. Dr. Yeomans and St. Peter'S Church was, at
his request, dissolved. He goes: at once to!tOce.
his new charge at - Otange, 'New' ;Jersey. •
HAPPY VOICES.-
We learn that the American Tract . Society. of.
New York, have,already issued 200,000 copies, of
their new Sabbath-school Hymn-Book ; "Happy
Voices." The work is. spoken of in terms of
great praise by Superintendents and, others, And
seems destined to have. a great run. Mr.
Grosvenor is constantly filling orders for the Sun
day-schools. ' G-ENESEE.

INSTALLATIONS IN PHILADELPHIA. - The
new Oxford Street church is now ecclesiastically,
as it has for some time past practically been, in
full working condition. On last Sabbath evening,
a committee of the Fourth Presbytery of Phila
delphia installed Rev. Frank L. Robbins into the
pastorate, Rev. Robert Adair: presiding. Rev. A.
Barnes preached one of his beet from the
text, "My kingdom is , not of this world," taking
very explicitly the ground that, under the influ
ences of Christianity, a tendency 'toward the final
universal acceptance of the Christian faith, is
steadily going forward, and showing what of the
present elements of social and political life and
material prosperity may be expected to remain,
and what to pass away. The charge to , the pas
tor was delivered by Rev. T. J. Shepherd, D. D.,
and that to the 'people by Rev. G. F. Wiswell,
D.D. The services were throughout of high in
terest, and secured the earnest attention of an
audience which filled—almost literally packed the
house. The Oxford Street enterprise has hitherto
known only prosperity, and, under the favor of
God, large improvements in , church and Sabbath
School accommodation are speedily to go for
ward.—Rev. J. Garland Hamner was installed
pastor of Wharton Street church, last Sabbath`
evening, by a,Cornmittee of the 4th Presbytery,
Rev. W. T. Eva preached a sermon of , great
power on the functions and responsibilities of the
Christian ministry. Rev. Chas. Boyter proposed
the Constitutional Questions. The charge to the
pastor was delivered by Rev. John W. Mears, and
that to the people by Rev. John McLeod. The
house was crowded - and the scene at the close,
when nearly every one present Pressed forward
to give the pastor a cordial greeting, was most
animating, and testified to the numbers and flour
ishing aspect of the congregation and their deep
interest in their pastor.
SULPHUR BRINGS, Mo.—Rev. W. S. Post
writes, under date. of May.2d : Our church in
Sulphur Springs is nearly ready for use. It is a
beautiful Gethic. ' When finished, it will cost
over $4,000. Nothing has been` received from
abroad to aid us eicept two dollars 'from Phila.
delphia. Our loss by the falling of the rafters
was about $5OO. Four or five persons have most
ly built the church. In Hanover, 33 miles
south of St. Louis, on the Iron Mountain Rail
road, I have commenced a Sabbath School enter..
prise, which is very . promising. The congrega
tions, when I preach,'are large and attentive.
I regard this point as a_ very hopeful field. The
library for the Sabbath School, in Hanover, was
sent to me from Rev. Arthur Mitchell's church,
in Morristown ; N. J.
Rev. J. D. Jenkintiiiaboring in Victoria and
at the Tunnel Stationboth pram are on the
Iron Mountain Rail -Road. , Several other
points also are visited by him. He informs me
that he is greatly encouraged in his missionary
work. Rev. J. CI Downer, late of Carliniille,
111 has recently located in De Soto and taken
charge of our, church. in .that place. This vil
lage is the largest: in. Jefferson .county, and is a
thriving enterprising place.
The loyal Old School brethren are in hearty
synipathy with ns. iavitedly my esteemed
brother, Rev. D. A. Wilson, to preach the dedi
cation sermon of his new church in Ironton, on
ihe 10th of March •
I wish to mention some of the;advantages and
encouragements of South-Eastern Missouri. ,The
population is not increasing rapidly, but, some in
telligent men, who are conducting mining opera
dons, and engaged' in fruit 'plowing and mer
chandizin,g, realize thelniPortance of schools and
churches. Thongh,these gengeinen are scattered
here and there, they are Willing to assist in these
matters: The climate is' desirable. We neither
have the deep snow and intense cold of the North,
nor, yet the scorching :heat of 'the South. " Au
.
tumn extends till towards Christmas, while the
strength of winter is spent on St. Valentine's
Day." The country is very healthy.. The com
mon School law is giving a new impetus to the
' e
caus of education. The old settlers ire taking
hold of 'our ; improvements. We are slowly, but
surely, recovering from the effects of the war..
