    resolution was adopted, viz.: That each of our
Churches be required to take a collection every year
for each of the causes commended by the General
Assembly, and report the result at the annual spring
meetings of Presbytery. An application tor aid
from the Ministerial Relief Fund, caused a spirited
discussion of the necessity of such a fun:l. Some
took the ground that it is the minister's duty to se
cure a competence for himself when crippled by old
age, or for his family when taken from them, by in
vesting in these rich prairie lands, or in something
else, that will bring a profitable return. Others held
that the minister should seek to live only of his labor,
and trust the support of his old age, or of his fatif
ily, to the providence of God. However, the Min
isterial Relief Fund has the hearty co-operation of
the Presbytery. Two persons within our bounds
receive aid from it. One of them is a minister, en
feebled by age and disease ; the other, the widow of
a minister.
The Basis of Reunion was discussed with much
feeling, and approved with but one opposing vote.
Rev. jereraiah Woodruff died a few months since,
and we greatly miss him. He came to us from the
Presbytery of Rochester, two years ago, and in the
church of Rossviße which he organized, as well as
in other results, he has left a monument to hie faith
ful and efficient, but too brief, Western' toil. Rev.
Charles S. Marv in has been dismissed to the Congre
gational body ; and Rev. Charles B. French to the
Presbytery, 1:11' Keokuk.
Synods.
The Synod' of Albany closed its Annual Meet
ing in Keeseville, October 16th. The members in
attendance were not large, but the meeting was a
good one. Keeseville is—as some of your readers
well know—Aie point where clericals and other hun
ters and fishermen take their line of march for the
Saranac Lakes and woods. We find our gbod bro
ther, the pastor of Keeseville, Rev. H. K Butler,
recovering from protracted illness, caused by severe
labor, in connection with the very warm weather of
the past summer. He was able to be in one or two
of our meetings for a short' time. His condition
elicited our sympathy, and himself and his people
were very affectionately remembered in our devo
tional services. The opening sermon was by Rev.
Dr. Bulkley of Plattsburgh. Rev. Dr. M. R. Vincent,
was chosen Moderator, Rev. A. C. Bishop, tempo
rary, and Rev. I. M. Crawford, Assistant Cleck. The
reports of Presbyteries indicated general prosperity
and growth in various directions and increase in
numbers too; but the instances were lamentably
few, of the special presence and converting power
of the Holy Spirit. Glen's Falls, Warren Co., under
the labors of Bro. Fennel, Was, I think, the most
marked case of a revival blessing. The Sabbath-
school Mission of the First church, Troy, has thus
early natured in the organization of a church call
ed Oakwood Avenue Church, consisting now of nearly
100 members, under the labors of Rev. G. Van
Deurs, formerly of your city. His ministry is every
way most promising. The cause of Foreign Mis
sions was represented by Rev. 0. W. Winchester,
formerirmissionary to the Armenians, by Rev. W.
S. Drysdale and Rev. M. Warner who had just re
turned—all thrilled—kom the great meeting of the
Board at Norwich. We had brother Stowe, in his
always acceptable manner, on Home Missions.
We were glad to meet Dr. Atterbury, the suc
cessor of the good brother Mills, and to hear
him plead so earnestly, the cause of the Chris
tian ministry. Church Erection, Publication and
Ministerial Belief— were each assigned a place
and an advocate from the members of Synoil.
We had two sermons during our sessions—one by
Rev. I. McVey of Columbia Presbytery, and one by
Rev. G. A. Howard of Catskill—before the Lord's
Supper. Rev. Dr. Vincent, read, by request, a very
interesting , essay on the place of Creeds in our Church
system, which was followed with an animated discus
sion. This last evening, was, as is fitting, ,the
crowning of the occasion. Beside the narrative by,
Rev. B. R..Spragnef we bad a, brief note from the . '
sick pastor, short practical addresses, by clerical
and lay members, with prayers and singing, all
bearing our thought and hearts along the line of
higher hopes and purposes, until in 'closing, the
brethren renewed by standing 'vote, the resolution
of former yearsf, to remember each other in` prayer
—in the Sabbath morning devotions, that, the great
Shepherd will give them His presence and tarot in
the duties of the day. The next meeting of this
Synod, is to be held in the Fourth church Albany . ,
One year since, a paper in favor of' re union, was
adopted by Synod with almost entire unanimity. In •
that paper, a very earnest protest was entered
against any modification of the plan, Its then before
Synod: At this meeting, the brother who preeented
the cause of publication, expreesed a decidgd opin
ion against re-union. Another esteemed brother,
who sustained the paper of last year, said, in social
conference, that the plan of last year 'had been so
modified, that the action then taken, could not be
regarded as now binding the Synod.: Another said,
I favored union cordially before, and must be as de
cidedly against it now. Some others joining in the
converse,, agreed in these conclusions, while still
others said, the end is coming and you must be pr'e
pared to accept the conclusion. May the light from
above, encircle us all. ... MELAs.
The Synod of Ohio met at Columbus, Oct. 19th.
There was a spirited discussion On Reunion, a reso
lotion being offered that "a reunion be accepted.On
the siniple standards of the Church," and not on the
basis as found in "the thirteen'articles." Rev. Mr.
Shedd thought there should be a limit in their chas
ing around after the Old School brethren. He was
willing to treat them courteously, affectionately, and
with all Christian fellowsliip,And was in favor of
union with all his heart, and would do every thing
gentlemanly and proper to accomplish it, but to
keep chasing backward and forward. just to suit
Their notions—he did not believe in it. When the
General Assembly meets, if it sees fit to make a
change, let it do so, but he thought they had, done
their duty. Rev. Mr. Tenney : thought they must
make great allowance for their brethien of the Old
School. Rev. J. F. Kendall believed, in view of all
the concessions made by,the New. School, that their
dignity required that they should stop. As brother
Shedd had said, he was , done chasing them around.
They had done all that mortal man-could be asked
to do. He was willing to meet them on the present
terms, but was not willing to go a step further. Rev.
8, P. llildreth and Rev. Mr. Riggs spoke briefly on
the resolution, when, on motion, it was laid on the
table.
The Syhod of Peoria met, October 20th, at
Sandwich,.lll. The opening sermon was preached
by the Rev. George Duffield. Rev. Samuel Wyckoff
was chosen Moderator, Rev. E. H. Avery Temporary
Clerk, and Rev. O. A. Kingsbury, Assistant Clerk.
Rev. L. 11. Reid was elected,Stated Clerk.
Rev. Robert Patterson, D.D., delegate from the
Synod of Chicago; O. S.; delivered a strong, fervent,
and fraternal address; to which the Moderator
made an appropriate reply. Rev. Dr. Ellenwood
and Rev. G. P. Folsom, lately appointed District
Secretary for the North West, addressed the Synod
relative to the work of church erection. • Rev. Dr.
Gulliver, President of Knox College, Addressed the
Synod by invitation, and very acceptably, with ref
erence to that Institution: Prof. Bailey also was
beard with reference to Blaokburn University. it
is designed to introduce the partial , coiirse of study
(somewhat after the pattern at Andover,) into this
latter Institution.

teries to authorizes their Stated Clerks to fill va
cancies in standing committees on the ditiere , t
causes, until the next regular meeting of Presby
tery,—notifying such persons of their appointment
and making proper record of the same. It was
also "Resolved, That it shall be an established order
of this Synod, hereafter, to call upon all its menl
hers for a full and specific report of what has been
done, in the several churches which they represent,
during the precedirg year, for the several causes of
benevolence that have been recommended by our
General Assembly. Also, that we earnestly recom
mend to our several Presbyteries that they adopt
the same measure at each annual meeting."
_ .
Synod also recommended that each pastor use
his influence to introduce into every family of his
congregation one of our leading weeklies,together
with the Presbyterian Monthly or .issionary
Herald. Also, that Sabbath-school libraries be se
lected as far as practicable from the publications of
our own Committee.
The District Secretary of Home Missions and the
Stated Clerks of our several Presbyteries were ap
pointed a Standing Committee to form a medium of
communication between vacant churches and unoc
cupied ministers, the District Secretary to be Chair
man of this Committee.
The report of the Standing Committee on Forei,gn
Missions urges upon pastors and sessions to make
the monthly concert more effective and to observe
the same universally.
Reference was made to six of our number who
have died, and the following special minute was or
dered to be published:
"Whereas, since our last annual meeting God, in
His wisdom, has by death taken from us our late
Moderator, Rev. E. A. Pierce, and Assistant, Tem,
porary Clerk, Rev. J. L. Morton, brethren beloved,
and faithful laborers in the vineyard of the Lord,
therefore •
Resolved, 1. That while with Christian affection
we cherish their 'memories and mourn their loss to
that branch of the Church•militant to which webe-
long, and joy in the well assured hope that they
have joined the Church triumphant, we feel sol
emnly admonished to close up the ranks and gird
ourselves anew for the conflict that is before us, to
work earnestly, faithfully, and diligehtly while the
day lasts. ;r.
2... That we do, as a Synod, tender to their af
flicted families our sincere sympathies, with, the
assurance, that they have our earnest prayers that.
God would sanctify this dispensation of His provi
dence, and grant them all needed grace to sustain
them under their sore trials. ' '
3. That these resolutions be entered upoh our
records, and published in our weekly religious
ournals." ,
Visiting Committees were appointed as follows:
To Knox College: Rev. C. A. Williams, Principal.
Rev: E. H. Curtis, Alternate. To Illackbuin Uni
vensity: Rev. John Maclean, Principal. Rev. M. P.
Ormsby, Alternate.
Interest was expressed in the Educational insti
tutions at Lake Forest, and the nomination of
Trustees confirmed. The people of that place are
coming forward nobly, the Rev. Mr. Taylor en
gaging also in the work, and it is expected that we
shall soon have some very hoPeful results to report
for the cause of education there.
FA:eeport was chosen as the place -cif the next
meeting. It was "Resolved, That it be the stated
rule of this Synod to meet annually on the third
Thursday of October, at 7,1 o'clock P. M., and hold
over the Sabbath," IL
The Synod of Indiana met Oct. Ist, and adjourn
ed Oct. sth, in Connersville. Wabash College was re
ported as enjoying continued prosperity. A com
mittee to establish a weekly church paffer, it re=
union takes place during the Synodical y . ear,•afid

was appointed. It ie. to caoperate with similar
committees appointed by ;the Synods of Cincinnati,
Wakiash and Ohio. A committee was raised to se
dure the ET eiyicei ofßet IV L. Oickersen, as:,S7
nodical missionary,
.and to raise the funds to pay
MAI. The ministry were`enjoined to' preach on
"Faraily worship." The' Gernicen population was
regarded as having Special claims on attention—
many of them having a Calvinistic faith, and sub=
stantially a Presbyterian form of worship. The or
ganization of
,a German Church at Shelbyville—
under the carp of Bro. Friedgen, and represented in
Synod by an elder—was hailed with peculiar piea
sure., This Church is 'now'' building a house 4)
worship, and the aid of the benevolent is• solicited.
If you will. Out this out you will. have the . gist,
of what we have said from time to time about
the merits of Wanamaker & Brown's clothing
house. • ' ' •
I. Their clothing is cheap.
2. It wears well.
3. It is stylish.
4. It is comfortable.
5. They willingly make exchanges.
6. They never fail to, fit.
7. They treat all alike.
8. They deal plainly and honestly. •
9_ They make special provision for' country
trade. • •
10. They have the largest • store, and largest
stocks in Philadelphia.
11. They save time, trouble and money for
you.
12. They suit , the boys.
And if there is any advantage desirable in
purchasing clothing, it,is not on this list not be
cause they do not offer it, but because we have
not thought , to mention it. -

OF TITS
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
Are now finished and in operation. Although this road is built
with great rapidity, the work is thoroughly done, and is pro
nounced by the United States Commissioners to ho first-class
every respect, before It is accepted, and before any bonds can
ia•ned upon it.
Rapidity and excellence of construction have been secured by
complete division of labor, and by distributing the twenty thou
sand men employed along the line for long distances at once. I
is now probable that the
Whole Line to the PACIFIC will
be Completed in 1869.
The Company have ample moans of 'which tile Government
grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other mate
rials found along the line of its operations ; also 12,800 acres of
land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on each side of its
road; also United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
$lO,OOO to $lB,OOO per mile, according to the dfficulties to be sur
mounted on the various sections to be built, for which it takes a
second mortgage as security, and it is expected that not only the
interest, but the principal amount may be paid in service rendered
by the Company in transporting troops, mails, &c.
THE EARNINGS OF TILE UNION PACIFIC. RAILROAD, from
Its Way or Local Business only, during the year ending June 30th,
1868, amounted to over
Four Million Dollars,
which, after paying alt expenses was much more than sufficient to
pay the interest upon its Bonds. These earnings are no indication
.f the vast through traffic that must follow the opening of the
line to the Pacific, but they certainly prove that
First Mortgage Bonds
upon such a property, costing nearly three times their amount,
Are Entirely Secure.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for $l,OOO curb,
and have coupons attached. They bear annual interest, payable
on the first days of January and July at the Company's office in
the City of New York, at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The
principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and at
the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income ou their cost.
A very important consideration in determining the value of
t hese bonds is the length of time they have to run.
It is well known that a long bond always commands a much
higher price than a short one. It is safe to assume that durlatg
the next thirty years, the rate of interest in the United States will
decline as it has done in Europe, and we have a right to expect
that such six per cent. securities as these will be held at en
high a premium as those of this Government, which in 1857, were
bought in at from 20 to 23 per cent. above par. The export de
mand alone may produce this result and as the issue of a private
corporation, they are beyond the reach or political action.
. .
The Company believe that these Bonds at the present rate, are
the cheapest security in the market, and the right to advance the
price4t any time is reserved. Elubeeriptions will be received is
