Halsey has re moved to Tamaroa, Perry county, Illinois, .to which place all his correspßridehhe’ should be ad dressed. Plattsburgh, N. Y.—Rev.. E. A. Bulkeley, the pastor of what was the First church in this place, writes to the Evangelist ,• , “ On the night of Aug. 20th a most desolating calamity fell upon our village, g.nd now we tear fully and almost despairingly look put upon not less than four aerqs pf smoking ruins,, where lately was the very centre of stirring .business. The first prominent edifice involved was my church —the fire originated in some sheds back of it. This old historic memorial, the first house of worship built in North-Eastern New York, is in ashes, and the mother church of the, region is homeless, We were just finishing extensive re pairs and improvements, which,! while they guarded the association! of the old building, gave us one of the most commodious and, beautiful in teriors in this section of the S.tate. ]Qn|y a new organ, which was in process-of building, was needed to make our arrangements for divine wor ship very complete and attractive. All is now lost to us. Out of all our church properties, the communion table, pulpit furniture,, and a few cushions are our only possessions,; The flame has devoured the house, and with it, bell,, communion service, organ, cabinet organ, carpets, pew fur nishings, gas-fixtures, Sabbath-school apparatus and library —in a word, everything. By a sad oversight there was hut a small insurance. Our congregation has the most numerous and heavy sufferers by the fire. ( And haying just given largely to repairs and improvements, we stand at the utmost disadvantage in attempting to rebuild. It is a dark and,disheartening day. We need sympathy, and while first looking above for it, we turn, to our sister churches. Amid the many calls upon them, we would not be suppliants for it, but any voluntary expressions of it will not bo ungrateful to us who are Biript of all, things ” East Tennessee. —An elder in one of our churches in East Tennessee, writes to the Evan gelist as follows: ‘‘We have spoken to our friends in the North in most unmistakable terms in the recent State election. We have the Governor, the entire Congressional ticket, one hundred on joint ballot in the Legislature, which secures the U. S. Sen ator, There is no State that is more lojal than Tennessee; and we must not let the Rogers ville Female College pass out of our hands. It will be a great advantage tb us in doing a good work in East Tennessee. You men of the North must contribute largely to the good cause, and build up a Female College in our midst that will be an ornament to East Tennessee. We would not ask for a single cent if we were hot poor. The rav ages of war have impoverished us. If something is not done shortly we shall suffer great loss.” Kalamazoo, Mich.— Tffe First church, after having been closed for repairs nearly two months, was re-opened for divine worship on Aug. 8. Iloth the exterior and interior of the church edi fice have been greatly improved. The audience room has been elaborately frescoed and the wood work neatly grained. The Society has expended in all nearly 83000. The time occupied in re pairs was kindly granted their pjistor, Rev. J. Pierson, as a vacation. fWijimt;! luMlipttf. THE REFORMED CHURCHES. City. — The Third Reformed Presbyterian Church has given a call to the Rev. Nevin Woodside, now pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. Salary $2,000. —The church at Conshohocken, Pa,, ip the vicinity of Philadelphia, has given a call to the Rev. J. H. Symines. Dr. Candlish's Church. —The operations in con nection with the extension of the Edinburgh station ol the Caledonian Railway have rendered necessary ihe demolition of Free St. George’s church, (Rev. Dr. Candlish’s.) and the congregation having agreed to erect a magnificent new church in Shandwrick place, tlie old building has been purchased from the railway company, with the view of rebuilding it as a mission station alt Stockbridge. Dr. Baardman’s. Position.— “E. P. P." writes to tlie Herald Irom tli& Chalybeate Springs, near Cres son, Pa.:—“Dr. Boatfdman, of. Pliiladelphiaj is also at the springs. He is: opposed to the re-union of the two brandies of our divided Church, and does not hesitate to assign as one cause ©£his opposition, the position assumed by our Church during the war. 1 told him I was proud of that position—that it was one of tlie noblest records ever made by any Church, and would grow brighter and brighter with age as years rolled on. Then he thinks .that there are some in our branch who are not sound in the faith. Them he would reject, and receive only such as could pass a good examination on, the “Covenants" and impu tation of Adam’s sin, etc. But the good Doctor/s influence, like that of R. J. EC's, is gone in the Church. His position in the .Old School Assembly at St. Louis alienated the large portion ;of the loyal North from him; although I always feilt'that he was not used well by that Assembly’. They certainly THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1867. transcended their constitutional powers, in striking at individuals over the heads of Synods and Presby teries. It was the same power that carried the ex scinding acts through in 1837. It we are ever to be a united body, that power must be limited and cur tailed.” Churches and Pastors. —Rev. R, Valentine has removed from Smithfield to Lexington, Ky., and was installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, on Sabbath morning, July 28. This church, originally weak in numbers, has been still further reduced by division; yet it seems determined not to yield to discouragements. The congregation is said to be larger now than before the recent division. Mr. Samuel Conn was ordained to the work of the Gospel Ministry and installed pastor of the First Church at Decatur, 111., by the Presbytery of San gamon, July 17tli. Dr. Claßon, one of the clerks of the Free Church Assembly, and one of the most venerable ministers in the Free Church, died on the last of July. He was struck down with paralysis during the opening exercises of the Assembly in May, but was able to visit his friendH in the Assem bly Hall during the session. Although he left the Establishment at the disruption, one of its uni versities, contrary. to their custom, gave him the degree of D. D. The Presbyterians of York are building a chapel, which will cost from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars. Their church was built in 1860, and cost $20,000, and at this time would pro bably cost $35,000. In its benevolent contributions, the church ranks the sixth in the denomination; though it is far from being one of the large church es in numbers. Rev. Dr. James Patterson, late President of Westminster U. P. College, at New Wilmington, Pa.,'has been elected to the Presidency of Iberia College. -This- Institution formerly belong ed to the Free Presbyterian Church, but is now un der the. care of the U. -Ei'Ereshytery of-Mansfield. J)r. Patterson accepts the office, and, will enter upon 'his duties qn the third Monday of September. Ecclesiastical Changes^— At a meeting of East Hanover Presbytery, held on the Bth inst., Rev. T. B. Maury, late rector of'the Episcopal Church, Port Gibson, MiSS., and author of the remarkable sermon on : “ Apostolic Succession,” recently published, ap peared before Presbytery, and after an extended ex-- aminalion, and answering the usual questions at or dination, was received iqto that body, and is now supplying temporarily the pulpit of Rev. Dr. Moore, of Richmond.— Western Presbyterian. Rev. J: B. Foster, pastor Of the U. Pres. Church in Young America, 111., resigned this charge to accept a call from the TJ. P. Orchard-street Church in Cin- cinnati, formerly Rev. Mr. McCune’s. Mr. Foster is an able and interesting preacher, and; will be a valuable acquisition to the O. S. Presbyterian Church, especially as he brings with him the U. P. Church, which has unanimously decided to change its ecclesiastical connection, — North-Western Presby terian, At-a late meeting of the United Pres. Presbytery of Cleveland, a paper was adopted, disapproving the conduct of J. G. Hall, a student of Theology, who bafjj goqe off without obtaining a certificate from the Presbytery, and. had connected, with, and been licen sed by the Old School Presbytery of New Lisbon. It .appears that the Board of Managers of the Theo logical Seminary at the end of the last session of the Seminary gave Mr. Hall the Usual certificate that he had - attended the Seminary three sessions, but endorsed on the back “Not sound on the subject of Communion." This, together with a private and personal letter of Mr, Goodwillie, his pastor, he pre sented to the Old School Presbytery, and was by them accepted and licensed'to preach at their .April meeting. We think that the Presbytery should first' have 'Censored •tire' Seminary Board "for ‘their impertinence in assuming the theological oversight of the student. Mission to the Masses in New York City. —ln what was the Dutch Reformed church corner of Market and Henry streets, (now the property of a young and earnest congregation in connection with the Old School Presbyterian body), an effort is be-ng made in behalf of the seamen* who arrive near it. In the Seventh Ward, in which this church is sit uated, there are forty thousand inhabitants, twen ty thousand five hundred and sixty-two of which are crowded into tenement houses and cellars. In the adjoining Ward —the Fourth —tlie population is not so dense, but it is more degraded. Into the pub lic houses on one block, five hundred and eighty persons entered on one Sabbath dpy within five lours. In the midst of this moral darkness many excellent families reside, who love the Gospel. They cannot follow their churches up town. Are they not entitled to it as much as if they were in Japan? They are reached at presentby tlfamissionary pastor of this church, by his Bible women, by the seamen’s missionary, and by the church members. Already two hundred and fifty families have been visited dur ing the last month by Rev. J. Lyle and his aids. The effort is so far successful, that on a late Sab bath evenipg the audience-room of the church was full. The lecture on Tuesday evening is well attend- ed; and at the prayer and experience meeting.on Thursday evening, explicit testimony ha? been given on many occasions of God’s 'grace and power in leading’sbulk to Jesus. Three hundred and fifty-five persons joined the temperance society'iu connection with this church during the past year. An effort is being now made to attain to self-support on the principle of the accumulation of littles. Every.’at tendant give to sustain thefJospel as he can, and as often as In; can. , , The Irish Papers on Dr. Hall’s Acceptance. —The Belfast Northern Whig, (Aiian Presbyterian) understands that tne members of Rutland-aquare Church, Dublin, had a meeting on Monday,- Aug. 12, and offered to raise the income of Dr, Hall to £7OO a year, and to make other arrangements for'lris com fort, if hfe’will remain amenst them, ■ Otir contem porary adds:—“lt is believed that Dr. Hall will go to New York, and whilst his removal will be a very, serious loss to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and. to the cause in Dublin, Dr. Hall will prove a centre power in New York, and form an admirable and most effective friend and representative 'of the Irish Church on the other side of the Atlantic.” The Banner of Ulster (Presbyterian) says:— “ We deeply sympathize with the congregation of Rut land Square, who are about to lose the services of a pastor so beloved and esteemed as Dr. Hall; they will not easily obtain a minister who will oc cupy the place, both in the Church and before the public, so efficiently as has been done these years past by Dr. Hall. - They have indeed shown them selves worthy of, such a pastor, an Jr they have made a most spirited, though unavailing effort to retain him. We might speak of the loss to the Church of his fathers, which his removal will cause. We might recall the services he Has rendered her by his prudence in council, and his zeal in babbr. We might refer to the eminent position as a preacher and public speaker he has occupied in Dublin. We might allude to the important literary labors of Dr. Hall as editor of tne Evangelical Witness, but it is unnecessary to do so. We believe'-that, in the deci sion to which he has come. Dr. Hall'has been ac tuated solely by a sense of duty. He has a noble field before'him; and we send him forth with every confidence t.hal. if spared health and life, his min istry jn N ew York will prove by the divine blessing a triumphant success.” Rev. Dr. Maoleod, editor of Good Words, and one of the Glasgow ministers of the Established Church of Scotland, length made his arrange ments for visiting India. 1 for the purpose of inv into the state of the missions of the Church there/and of 'giving all the; aid' in his- powePto the missionaries. The propoi9»l t c*^l^^ , drfginally .from, the Mission ComKiitteainiGalcntta, and was address ed to him a* “Con vetter” (or /Chairman) of the In-' dian Mission Committee; and the Assembly at its meeting in May, cordially entered into the scheme, more especially when, informed that a friend of the Church had agreed togive 1,000/- to pay expenses in curred by Dr. Macleod and the other deputy who is to accompany him. The matter came up before the monthly meeting of the Glasgow Presbytery, August 7th., when Dr. Macleod informed his breth ren that, after considering all the circumstances, he had made up his mind to go; and that he had been examined by two of the highest medical au thorities in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the result of the examination was that there were no objections on the score of health, as it was in the best possible state. He expects to start early in November next, and to be back by May, 1868, in order to report in person to the General Assembly that meets toward Urn close of that mohth. Dr. Macleod hopes to come in contact with men of all parties in order to ascertain what is thought by the best informed men in In 'ia upon many, important questions. His 'rhportfflvill therefore be of general interest; and the public may in addition' look for graphic sketches through the press, as during his visit to Palestine a year or two ago. —London Chris tian World. < ’ !

Someof Aftem have long been known to the best teachers, while others are qhite hovel, being, comparatively unkuowh. Of the-latter class are tbe Accent Exercises invented by Mr. Mason, which Jorm the most important improvement in the art of teaching which'lias been introduced for many years. ; The method teaches the'ftrt of fingering more fully than any previous work, introducing new modes of overcoming difficulties, elucidating principles by copious analyses, and thus enabling the learner to understand them easily. It gives very important, and hitherto needed directions in regard to training the hand. It teaches the true mode of accompanying vocal music, both sacred and secular, and imparts su ffic ient instruc tion in haYmohy for tbosewho wish to extemporize interludes and other short passages. Its selection of pieceq for practice] is large and very pleasing, for has been admitted "thatis not really attractive*.
