PRESBYTERIAN CONVENTION, EASTON, PA.
In pursuance of an invitation to the Pastors
and Churches belonging to the Presbyteries of
N e wton, Rockaway, Raritan, Second and Fourth
Philadelphia, and the Classis of Raritan, to meet
in convention, and discuss the Union of the va
rious branches of the Presbyterian church in
the First Presbyterian church of Easton, Pa., at
h a lf past 7 P. M., March 10, the Convention to
c ontinue during the 11th, at the time and place
named — a considerable number having assembled,
after singing and prayer under direction of the
pastor of the Church, the Convention was or
nized by the election of Rev. B. S. Magic of
the Presbytery of Rockaway, as President, and N.
W. Voorhees of the Presbytery of Raritan as
Secretary. About fifty ministers from the ec
clesiastical bodies_ named, and over.twenty elders
and leading laymen were recognized and enrolled
as members of the Convention. Statements were
made and letters read in behalf of others provi
dentially prevented from being present, expres
sive of their approval of the objects of the
weettog.
The following Committee on Resolutions and
order of business waS appointed:—Rev. W. C.
Gaud!, D.D. Rev. J. W. Wood, Rev. A. H.
Hand, P.D., and Elders J. M. Paul and Seidea
T. Scranton. The remainder of . the evening
was spent in devotional exercises, brief and ap.
propriate addresses being made by different mem.
hers.
The prevalent tendency to Christian Union not
only in Spirit but in organization—the duty to
pray earnestly for the directing influence of the
Spirit, and for a willingness to be led by the
Spirit—the Holy Spirit, moving to Union an in
dication of a great work for the Church in the
immediate future—the tendency of the times to
combination of effort and economy of forces, the
duty of the Church to be ready for whatever
rihe may be called upon to do or suffer, the duty of
Christians to strive' for a closer union with Christ,
and as a consequence a closer union with each
other, were some of the more prominent topics
of remark.
After a delightful session characterized by
great harmony and earnestness, the Convention
adjourned to meet in the morning: _
Convention met at 9 A. M., March 11. After
some time spent in devotional exercises and the
enrolling of new members, the Report of the
Committee on Resolutions and order of business
was made, which after remarks by the
Chairman, President Oaten, Was accepted. The
resolutions submitted were thQsame .as adopted
at the Philadelphia Convention: I3y order of
Convention they are embodied in this report of
its proceedings.
1. An acknowledgment of the Old and New
Testaments to be the inspired word of God and
the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
H. That in the United 'Church the Westmin
ster Confession of faith shall be received and
adopted as containing the system of doctrine
taught in the Holy Scriptures, it being understood
that the Confession is received in its proper his
torical, that is the Calvinistic or Reformed
6011 SO.
Whilst the Committee recommend the fore
going basis of doctrine, they wish to be under
stood as recognizing the orthodoxy of the Larger
and Shorter Catechisms; of the Heidelberg Cat
echism, and of the Canons of the Synod of
Dort.
111. That the United Church shall receive
and adopt the Presbyterian form of Church Gov
ernment..
IV. The book of Psalms which is of divine
Inspiration, is well adapted to the state.of the
Church in all ages and circumstances, and:should
he used in the worship of God. Therefore, we
recommend that a new and faithful version of
the Psalms be provided as soon as practielble.
But inasmuch as various collections of Psalmody
are used in the different churches, a change in
this respect shall not be required.
The Convention on motion proceeded to the
consideration of the resolutions, seriatim.
The first resolution was without discussion
unanimously adopted.
The second resolution led to an animated and
prolonged, yet good tempered discussion, invol
ving the peculiarities of doctrine and practice of
the different branches of the Presbyterian church.
An amendment contemplating the adoption of
the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, in connec
tion with the Confession Of Faith as a" system of
doctrine," and not merely recognizing their "or
thodoxy," was rejected by .a nearly unanimous
vote. The resolution as reported, when a vote
was reached, was unanimously adopted.
The third resolution was without discussion,
unanimously adopted.
The fourth resolution was, after a free discus
sion, unanimously adopted.
The discussion throughout was interspersed
with devotional exercises. After a session of
three hours, Convention adjourned until 2 P. M.
Upon re-assembling, after devotional exercises,
a motion was made that, the Convention adopt the
resolutions as a whole. This opened for discus
sion, the whole subject of Church Union—the
history of the present movement, the advantages
of Church Union and the pressing necessity for
it, the conditions on which it would be a blessing,
the obstacles in the way of its immediate accom
plishment, the spirit which should be cherished
by all Christ's people, in view of the harmony
and unity which should prevail among those who ,
hold the same Head and profess to regard God's
glory as the ultimate cud of all effort. After
ample opportunity for expression of views, which
was freely embraced by the members, both lay
and clerical, a vote was takett.by rising, when
every member of the Convention arose to, his
feet
The action of the. Convention was ordered. to
be telegraphed to the Cominittee of the two As
semblies in session in Philadelphia.
The thanks of the Convention were returited
to the people of Easton for their hospitality, and
the Secretary was directed to prepare a report of
the proceedings fOr publication in Chi- following
named papers : Presbyterian, American Presby
terian, Christian latelligencer; Evangelist,' and
:forth-western Presbyterian.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1868.
During the sessions of the Convention a large
audience was in attendance, manifesting a deep
interest in the proceedings, and evidently imbued
with its spirit. On parting for their various
field of labor, the members seemed impressed
with the spirit of the Convention, grateful that
it had been their privilege to attend it, rejoicing
that the spirit of Christian Union had been
strengthened by mutual intercourse, and the
contemplation of the same truths, and earnestly
desiring that the time might speedily come when
brethren will see eye to eye, and dwell together
in unity ; and when the Church till be one.

MODERN SCIENCE OP ACOUSTICS.
The first permanent and serious advance
beyond the ancient limits was made by one
in whom nobody would have expected to dis
covery to the founder (and indeed, the namer)
of the modern science Acoustics. Joseph
Sauveur was born in 1653. For the first
seven years of his life he was dumb, and he
never could speak freely. He was also deaf;
he had a false voice, and no appreciation of
music. In order to verify his experiments,
he was compelled to rely on the friendly
help of musicians accustomed to eEktimate
chords and intervals.. His contemporary,
the -blind Professor Saunderson, taught
Optics in the University of Cambridge a
few years later; but he has won for himself
no abiding place, except, among the curiosi
ties of science. It was otherwise with
Sauveur. In all the discussions of the an,
cients, and up to his time, certain relations
of the' notes themselves (ociaves„fifths, &c.)'
had been' constantly investigated. All the
notes struck at one time could be compared
with each other by reference to these inter
vals. ,No accurate comparison was possible
between two notes produced on different
days. Sauveur. first pointed out that the
character of the note depends on the num
ber of vibrations in a .given' period, made
by the sounding body. The difficulty was
to count them even in the grave notes
where they are least rapid. If we take two.
organ-pipes which sound in perfect, unison,
and shorten one of them a little, it is well
known to organ builders that a curious pul
sing sound, swelling and flailing alternately,
at regular intervals, accompanies the notes
when they are both sounded together.
These pulses are called beats, and Savour
explained them, substantially as we do, by
(,he periodic coincidences and oppositions,ot
the condensed parts of the two vibrating
air-columns. When the pipes produce con
current effects, the loud pulse is heard;
when they oppose each other, the sound dies
away. The times of these coincidences and
oppositions can be calculated. If the ratio
of the numbers of vibrations (which depend
on the length of the air -columns) be, let us
say, as eigth to nine, there will be a beat at
every interval of eight vibrations of the one,
or nine of the _other. If 16 be heard .:in a
second, there must have been 128 vibrations
of the one column, and 144 of the other in
the same time. Sauveur found in this way
that the grave do 'of an 8 feet-long organ
pipe makes 122 vibrations in a second. It
is a curious illustration of the importance
of his discovery and of the difficulty of
comparisons between the musics of different
periods which are founded on' anything but
the numbering of the vibrations, that the
note which now goes by the same musical
name (the grave do of the violoncello at
15°C) corresponds in. Paris to 130 f vibra
tions. Chladni proposed 128 as a number
readily subdivisible. The suggestion has
been generally followed in physical' discus
sion& The French standard was fixed by
1 Ministerial Decree in February 1859, and
adopted at the Opera in Vienna, and offi
cially in Itunsia, 'three years 'later. The
English standard is 133 and the German
132 vibrations, there had been a gradual
rise at the Italian Opera in Paris, from the
days of Sauveur, until the standard number
came to be 134 f just before it was reduced
by decree. Scheibler showed that one note
had stood successively for 867, 872, 878, 880,
and 889 vibrations in the course of thirty
years of the present century—Edinburg Re
view.
SUNSPOTS AND METEORIO SHOWERS.
Mr. Schwabe has noticed a connection be
tween these two classes of phenomena.
He finds that the minimum of spot-frequency
coincides remarkably with the recurrence
of meteoric showers, the period of rotation
of which, viz., 33.2 years, agrees with a
large period of the sun-spots. In 1833
there was an extreme scarcity of spots (only
33 very small groups being observed), and
in 1866-7, Ist of January to June 8 he had
observed only six small groups, and out of
133 days of observation there were 100
without spots. In the year 1848 which is the
middle of the 33.2 years period, there was a
maximum of spots. If the 33 years' period
should be established by future observa
tions, then a rreaximarn of meteoric flowers
would alwayfFoedtir after three years of the
usual sun-spot periods. Whether thist peri
odicity existed .before, Mr. Schwabe cannot'
decide,tbut he says there appears to„ha.ve
been a minimum of-sun-spots in 1798.5, and
a maximum in 1816.8. The astronome
alluded 16-are now engaged-in-determining
a chart of spot frequency cluring.the last 40
years, founded ? not on the number of the
observed groups, baVon the area of spotted
surfaces, as observed by Hofrith Schwabe,
by which the periodicity will be represented
with greater precision than before.
THE Qbservatory of Lafayette College,
at Easton, Pa., was dedicated on Thursday
evening. An address was: delivered by Pro
fessor Green, and a discourse on astronomy
by Professor Coffin. The prizes to be award
ed at the do - se of the collegiitii yeah are
$3O in gold, to be given to the best student
in astronomy in the senior class, who will
be required to deliver an oration upon this
subject, or a kindred one; a medal of equal
value can be substituted : $2O in gold to the
student of the greatest mathematical at
tainments in the junior class. The orders
for the necessary apparatus are now being
filled, and it is expected that by May next
they will all be in place.

SEED CULTURE IN OUR COUNTRY.
The progress of seed-culture in the Unit
ed States is one of the many evidences of
the rapidity with which our country moves
onward. Forty-five or fifty years ago when
the elder in the firm of the Landreths, was
a school-boy, giving occasional assistance to
his father—who was the progenitor in his
branch of business in America, and supplied
then, as the house does now, much of the
demand at home and distant points 'within
the Union,—a few, very few acres afforded
an amplesupply ofseeds. With the increase in
population, and enlarged clearing of the na
tional domain, this branch of business has
kept pace ; and the Landreths alone, now
have under their immediate personal inspec
tion and control six ILUNERED ACRES. When
it is considered that this large breadth of
land is in drill culture, and that on each acre
occupied by certain kinds of seed the details
are so minute and oft-repeated, before the
crop is made, as to' equal the labor of ten
times the same area in ordinary grain, an
intelligible estimate may be formed of the
aggregate tillage on the estate of Blooms
dale. Then again, the expenditures for crude
manures and fertilizers. What would
one of our old-time farmers think of a
cash out-lay within a year of twelve
thousand dollars, independent of the large
amount home made ? Yet such, we are
assured, was the sum diubursed on that
account within twelve months. Again,
a thousand bushels of wheat equals the
average product of well-conducted farms in
the Wheat-growing districts of the Union.
What may be thought of that quantity of
turnip seed alone; and more than half that
quantity of cabbage-seed, as among the
yearly products of the estate in question !
And yet, large as are all the operations thus
personally conducted by the firm herein re
ferred to, they have vast fields outlying,
comprising many hundreds of acres, under
delegated superintendence, on which are
raised thousands of bushels of the coarser
seeds, such as pens and beans, which do not
demand the same critical care as the most
precious crops grown at home, under the
proprietor& personal inspection. It is to be
regretted that, in this ountry, the son is so
readily diverted from the business pursuit
of the father, and the cases are unfortunate
ly the exceptions where a house,in Rey
branch of trade, can date farther ack than
the existing generation. In the instance
we are discussing, we find the good old En
glish rule prevailing, and the third genera
tion treading in the footprints of their pro
genitors; and, judging from present and by
gone progress, it may not be distant when
those noted cultivators may have as many
hundreds of acres devoted to the growth of
seeds, as their remote forefather had of sin
gle acres.

Twenty-two years since they were first introduced into

undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefited suffering
humanity to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Complaint;

and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.

There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in
such cases. A tone,and vigor is imparted to the whole sys
tem, the appetite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the
stomach digests promptly, the blood is purified, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is
eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheek.,
and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and
healthy being.
And feeling the band of time weighing heavily upon them,
with all its attendant ills, will find in the use of this BIT

male portion of our populaden "are seldom in the
enjoyment of good health; or, to use their
own expression, never feel well." They are lan

appetite.
To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is
especially recommended.

From Rev. Joseph H. Kennard, D.D.,
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Dr. Jackson—Dear Sir: I have been frequently requested
to connect my name with recommendations of differel.;
kinds of medicines, but regarding the practice as out of IQ)
appropriate sphere, I —have in all cases declin
ed; but with a clear proof in various instan
ces and particularly in my own family, of the.
usefulness of Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, I depart frr
once from my usual course, to express my ful conviction
that, for general debility of the system, and especially fi.e
Liver Complaint, it is a safe and valuable preparation. In
some cases it may fail; but usually, I doubt not, it will Le
very beneficial to those who suffer from the above causes.
Yours, very respectfully,
J. I. KENNARD, Eighth, below Coates St.
