Dr. Howard's), formed themselves into an associa tion to assist the pastor and elders in Church Work.

J., leaves $7,200 each to Princeton Seminary, and the. O. S. Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions.—lt having been reported that the Professors in the Korth Western Theological Seminary, at Chicago*' were ' neglecting their proper work and giving the,students instruc tions in politics, thirty-one of flic thirty-five stu dents have signed a paper in which, although of different political views, they declare “that, while our Professors have shown .themsctv®? to be true patriots and hi favor of liuthan freedom, and whim’ we believe that they would never consent to submit to the dictation of any man or party, yet they have never brought politics into the class-room or their public ministrations; and that we ourselves hold, these different opinions in peace and harmony.'” Home Missions. —Secretary Musgrave annottn ces(Dec. 24th,) that the augmentation in the receipts of theO.
