THE REEORMEU CHURCH MONTHLY, iS a liter

Truth in or outside ._of ) the (Geritiaii) Ve r for'med
Church will . greet,iith the best wishes for its
success. Edited by Rev. Dr:BoMherger , mf this
city, and others, it will give voice to the better
and more truly Protestant tendencia in that de
nomination which hive hitherto been without a
literary organ. The articles in the opening num
ber are important as presenting the principlei by
which the Monthly will be guided ;' . and arc writ
ten in a strong and racy style that must attract
the reader. The very valuable statistics of the
"Christian World" are marked for transfer to our
columns. In 'the classification of Reformed,
Lutheran and others, we are not sure where the
Editors intend to place the Evaugelical--DAted

Rev. Mr. Westcott explained the object and na

-tio n between the accepted and unworthy partaker;
and Rev. Dr. Adams closed the service with a
tender congratulation and appeal. The presence
of Alex. Whilldin, Esq., one of the generous
friends of the University, was a feature of the
occasion. The accession of these new members
is accepted - as a proof of the Diviee favor, and
an addition to the moral power of the University.
In the evening a touching sermon was delivered
by Rev. Mr. Jackson, a graduate of the Institu
tion.
The last session of the Institution closed on
Wednesday 22d inst., for a vacation of two weeks'
has been a prosperous one. The number of stu
dents is more than one hundred, and their pro
gress in study has been gratifying. A large num
ber of applications for admission at the opening
of the next session, has been made by young men
of promise who need aid while prosecuting their
studies. Funds constituted for this specia pur
pose would greatly enlarge the usefulness of the
Institution at this time.
Tim INDEPENDENT, lately much enlarged, is coming
with fresh energy upon the field of newspaper en
terprise and competition, it is but trite to say,
that it is one of the most ably conducted journals
here or anywhere in the world. And while we
wish it. were a more positive power for good than it
is, while, we deplore, as an ominous sign of_ the
.times, its abandonment of clear evangelical positions
upon which it started, we may say, unhesitatingly,
that as a secular and political journal, with a high
moral tone, its influence in the mass of journalism
in our country is ..elevating and-.creditahle to this
branch of American literature. We purpose copy

Sar Might not a part of the ample additional
space lately given to the Presbyterian, be useful

what it is which the conductors object - to in the

quotes enough even of those few lines to mist

It would.seem from soirmstatements recently
made i that, those who wish to see Midgard-NES in
all their ancient glory, must not wait too long. It
is thought that the waters are *gettidEptired of
pouring themselves in one steady stream over
that fearful precipice,. or else have grown modest
about beidg looked upOril so much,- and so are
making for themselves a, subterranean.
_channel,
going down through the rocks about half a mile
back from the cataract, and coming out some
where below. A marked change in the retotion
of the waters, both above and below the Falls, is
thought to indicate this "wonderful change of
base,' - If this be so, we must expect die long to
hear that large portions of the rocks have given
way, and the entire aspect of the - Falls may be
materially changed before many more years have
rolled away.
A T/ M E-LY GIFT.
Mr. Stephen (}Hopkins, son of Prof, Hop
kins, of Auburn, a licentiate and a senior in
Auburn Seminary, has been supplying the Pres
byterian Church of Camillus. The people, either
because they liked him, or wished to time him,
or, for some good reason, made him a most un
expected, but welcome, new year's present, of a
beautiful golcl watch.
We notice, also, that Rev. F. S. Howe, of
Watkins, has been " visited" by his people, to the
amount of about $5OO. How we should like to
have our numerous people serve us in like man

BUCHANAN, MICH.-A correspondent writes
some particulars of the revival in this place, previ
ously mentioned : Six weeks ago, the United Breth
ren, the Methodists and the Presbyterians, united in
a series of meetings, one week in each Church,
in the evening, conducted by the minister of the
church where held, the ministers taking turn in
preadhing when no neighboring brother was pre
sent to aid--much time being spent in prayer.
The Holy Spirituras poured out upon the peoL
ple, and more or legs have been hopefullycon
vetted almost daily. Numbers have united with
these Churches. On the last 'Sabbath evening,
there was a ,united communion season in the
Methodist house, and from 200 to 250 commem
orated the 'dying love of Christ.
The Disciples or Christians also have been en
gaged • in a series of. meetings `for 'the last two
weeks, conducted by one of their - popular preach
ers, and.l6 have been baptized.!

Ft~D Rev : M it. 'Vincent, pastor; of the
gis f ; Church, Troy, writes to the .gemag east an
interesting account,. of .Evangelistic movements
by our hitherto somewhat inactive-mother church
there.
` " About twoyears ag,o we commenced simult all e
ously two enterprises of this eharacter. .trhe first
Was at the Iron Works, about twolsiles below
the city, where the .immense establishments of
the Messrs. Burden and
_Corning and Winslow
have concentrated, a large population. Our Meth , -
odist brethren had long/had a_' vigorous self-sup.
Porting church there i lind - a fine Sabbath-school:
One of our zealous 'Christian Women, however,
on cativassi'ng, found - upwards of foriy Presbyte
rian families, English,lria, and Scotch, some
of them steeped in the_ stern Calvinism of their
Scottish homes and. _.kirks,, and as incapable, of
fusing with our-Methodist brethren as oil with
water. The proposition fora distinct: enterprise
was readily embraced. About seven ` or ' eight
months ago, the peep% 'organized a Church and
called. a.
,plator, the Rev'. John Tatlock. The, capi
talists of that neighborlaood have taken the.en
terprise to their hearts, and have their; plan's
ready laid for building st ,. .beautiful and ,conveni
eat chareh., '
Per the Up-town enterprise,it was at first diffi
cult to find a foothold. After muchsearching,
we at length found.a place ,to light, in the shape,
of an " upper chamber," twenty by thirty feet,
unlashed and unplastered, and to whieh:iweis
cended at first by a ladder. Here Oakwood Sun
day-School was
,organized. Never was movement
received in any neighborhood with more enthusi
asm.
.The little room was speedily crowded, un
til it seemed* though we should have to haug
the children out of the_windows. One old, blind
lady,- Very 'Oa, said, " 0' how thankful I_ am
that •: we are to have a church here at last. /
must have something in that church, if 'Ws only
a nail." -During, the week a' regular prayer
meeting was sustained in the little room, and
Christ often met.the disciples there as he did in
that. other chamber long ago.
On the: 29th of October, 1866, the corner
stone of a chapel wasklaid .with appropriate cere

THE UNION PACIFIC/ :RAILROAD.
When this. great 'work is completed, as it vii
he by 1870, if the present rate of progress con
tinues, a.riew era of trade will'begin. with direct
and rapid communication between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. It: is almost impossible to
over estimate the national benefits that. will fel
low. Already more than five hundred and forty
miles west of Omaha 'have been built, and the
road is now within ten mites of one of the highest
points of the Rocky mountains. The rapidity of
the progress of this road is without a parallel,
and, the construction has not been suspended
even in midwinter. We find the usefulness of
the enterprise already demonstrated by the set
tlements that have been made along the road.
and there are many thousands of people in the
towns west of Omaha, in a`country rich in mine
ral and agricultural wealth, Which, but tor the
„Inion l Pacific 'Railroad, would still be the hunt
ing, ground of the Pidian.
Congress noverdid A wiser thing than when 1:
offered filtylnilliona-of dollars, in Government
bonds, as a loan to the company. By that act it
insured the success of 'an enterprise which will
