joined with the church at Dawnsville in the de

have just completed a tasteful and- commodious
edifice, capable of seating between four and five
hundred persons at a eost of $6,800. It is. well
built and well finished, and the architectural de
sign is good. The' walls and ceiling are beauti
fully frescoed. The people of Downsville have
now a church edifice whieh is an ornament to
the village, add which speaks well for their li
berality and devotedness to the cause and wor
ship of Jesus Christ. A debt of 82100 incur
red in building, was entirely provided for by
the congregation assembled) before the dedica
tory prayer was offered.. The order of exercises
was as follows: Introductory services by Rev.
Messrs. Andrew Montgomery, and Samuel J.
White of the Presbytefy of Otsego j Sermon by
Rev. C. H. De Lang, and Dedicatory Prayer by

occupant of the new pulpit.,
been vacant since November. hfiP§4
that the “ right man ” may soon find himself, “in

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1869.
The Presbytery of Champlain at its annual
meeting, Jan. 19th and 20th voted unanimously
for Reunion,
First; by approval of the overtured terms of
the Joint Committee.
Second; by giving consent and concurrence to
Reunion on the Basis of the Simple Standards,
if it can be so consummated by the General As
semblies.
A stirring discussion of Home Missions was
called out by a report of Rev. Dr. Buckley, the
publication of which was ordered. Astounding
ignorance and irreligion in the Presbyterial field
was shown. The determination was expressed to
go forward with increased enterprise and vigor,
although during the past year contributions have
been nearly doubled, and all the churches, save
one, have had the ministry.
The Presbytery of Onondaga , N. Y., at Bald
winsvillc, January 13, installed ' Rev. E. B. Par
sons over the Presbyterian church, made vacant
last Spring. The sermon was preached by Rev.
S. B. Canfield, D.D., of Syracuse, and was a very
profound discussion of the important doctrine of
the atonement. It was the expressed desire of
some of the brethren, that he should put his ser
mon into the form of an; article for our Presbyte
rian Review. The charge to the people, by their
former beloved pastor, Rev. John F. Kendall,
now of Columbus,, Ohio, was both tender and
pointed, and exceedingly felicitous in'niatter,,and
manner.
The Third Presbytery of New York met Jan.

livered the charge, laying stress bn three cardin

faith in truth,” “ Have faith in. man ”; present

The Third Presbytery met in the
Presbyterian House, on Monday, Jan. 25th.
The call of the South St. church, for the ser
vices of Rev. B. B. Parsonß, D. D., was placed
in his hands and accepted by him. The instal
lation will take place, by leave of Providence, on
Sunday, Feb. 6, at 3P. M. The Moderator of
the Presbytery, Rev. N. A. Prentiss, will preside,
Rev, Dr. Adams will pTeach the sermon. Rev.
R. A. Mallery, former pastor, now of Milford,
Del., will deliver the charge to the people, and
Rev. Albert Barnes the charge to the pastor. A
considerable number of accessions has much en
couraged this church of late, and new hopes of
prosperity are cherished under the relations
about to be consummated.
* North Broad St. church has a Young Pedples
Association' which holds weekly meetings for
prayer and the discussion of topics connected
with Church wqrk, as well as for systematic co
operation in the work itself. It employs a mis
sionary, Mr. J. W. Field, and through him is
now distributing to every family a copy,of Dr.
Bush’s excellent little hook: “ Work for All,”
and of the Tract, “ How to give,” in flexible cov
ers ; 'both , issues of our Publication ’ Committee.
A pastoral letter handsomely printed,, gives she
names and residences of the Pastor and Session,
the Sabbath School Superintendent, Missionary
and Sexton is being distributed throughout the
congregation. From the schedule of announce
ments we learn, that the Pastor’s Adult Bible
Class meets every Sabbath at 3} P. M., and that
there is a Dorcas Industrial School meet
ing every Saturday at 2P. M. We are glad to
notice a’ gradual steady growth of the congre
gation and many healthful indications in the
affairs of the Church, as increase of pew rente,
&C. ' "" .
Mantua Church, Rev. H. Aug. Smith pas
tor, has recently .elected two njew. Elders:. Geo.
W. Niemann and. Joseph Pen nock. The. tide
of population pouring westward, makes this an
increasingly Important, point,, W®j are glad to
record an, encouTaging growth,,whieh, doubtless
would be still more marked, if the project of a
new building were carried out. The progress of
other denominations in this respect makes the
matter more urgent as respects our own people.
—So great'has been the encouragement in the
SPECIAL SERVICES AT THE FIRST CHURCH that
they are announced to he continued this ’ week.
The meietings are simply for prayer and exhOrta
‘tion. ' ThSy-are opened with a portion of Scrip
ture read and expounded’by the pastor, with a
' direct application to the various phases of inter
est and inquiry presented by the congregation.
’Requests for prayer, which have been numerous,
"arh then read. 'Some one is designated to offer
prayer, with special reference to the' ‘requests,
after which the meeting is voluntary, and pray
-1 ers-and remarks, brief, fervent,-and to the point,
with suitable'revival, hymns, frequently started
by the pastor, follow in quick succession. To
wards-the close, an opportunity 1 is given, without
urgency, for any desiring*prayer in their behalf
eo rise. Very many have availed 1 thCmselves' of
this offer, -mainly the members of households
connected’ with the'Church'j and ipAMflCjffljjtaPoes
we believe,‘whole classes of- the' SahDath-Bchool.
-Last Sabbath, in the' absence of; Dr.; Johnson to
fulfil an engagement 1 in NeW'York, 1 Mr. Barnes
filled the pulpit in • the morning. l " Taking his
text, he clofeed the volume,’and delivered an ex
tempore discourse of great power and solemnity
to an’immense audience. Dr. Reed of the Cen
tral Church (O. S.) in the evening added- to the
impressions already- made 1 by an 'excellent-dis
course. It gladdens many hearts to she- these
signs of thriftiness'and renewed youth in the’old
church. ■ : 1 ■ ■ ’■
The De£i?h o*' RANDdtPH Saiuje, Es<j.,
which took place, on Friday last, from pneumo
nia, leaves a tnost painful void among the rising
young men of our Church*, and of the business
circles in our city. A man of sound judgment,
pfirreproa’chable integrity, of earnest active
piety, -hf enlarged view's,' and ini one of the first
busideSspositions of'this great city, on the high
road'to gredt wealth, already he had been largely
’instrumental'in'providing a building fot', and in
carrying forward one of our most hopeful down
town enterprises. Were our Church and the
cause of Christ in human.hands alone, we should
Bay that in his death we had suffered an irrepar
able loss. . -As it is,.our faitbjjib'sorely tried by
the removal of so, valuable and so promising a
pian. But wemay not forget that his gain is
closely proportioned to the greatness of our loss.

life in Grech Sill and other ’churches bf our city,
of which it Wohid 'be ‘ prema!tifre to speak more

—The old First church, Kensington, Rev. J.

in 'fact the church is getting into a * condition' to
send out another colony before long.
—The Friday night temperance meetings are
continued,,in Buttonwood St. church, Dr. .Shep
herd's,, with great and even increasing power and
popularity. ,
—Onr city has been much agitated by-the at
tempt made by special legislative enactment in
Harrisburg to keep in office one of the Republi
can city officers, who, according to the returns of
the late city elections, had been, defeated by the
Democratic opponent. The -election was con
tested, on the ground of gross fraudpand the
case is still pending in'the courts. But before
the court’s decision is rendered,:the Rupublican’B
term of office must expire,‘and the' effect of the
bill, which nearly- the whole body of Republican
legislators were hurrying to rush through, was to
keep the Republican officer in his place until the
judgment of the court would appear. A most
extraordinary piece of‘legislation indeed ! Mul
titudes of Republicans, represented in the Morn
inti Post, Bulletin, and Telegraph, were quite, as
much surprised and offended' by it, as the Demo
crats, and we are glad to learn that the Republi
can officer himself is believed to' have had no
thing to do with the project:- The bill has been
defeated by a very questionable proceeding/on
the part of the Democratic-Senators —absenting
themselves from the Capitol and depriving, the
Senate of a quorum: : But; at all events, the hill
is defeated,-and we are right-glad of it. . -

NINE HUNDBED AND SIXTY MILES
Of the line West from Omaha are now completed, and the work i*
going on through the Winter. As the distance between the fin
ished portion of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads is now
less than 400 miles, and both companies Are poshing forward the
with great energy) employing over 30,000 men, there can 1*
no doubt that the whole
Grand Line to the Pacific
Will be open for Business in the Summer of
The regular Government Commissioners hare pronounced the
Union Pacific Railioad to be FIRST CLASS in every respect, and
the Special Commission appointed by the President says:
“Taken as a whole, THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD HAS
BEEN WELL CONSTRUCTED, 1 AND THE 1 GENERAL ROUTE
FOR THE LINE EXCEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED. The ener
gy and perseverance with which the work has been urged forwar l
and the rapidity with which it has been executed, are without
parallel in history, and in grandeur and magnitude of underta
king it has never been equalled/’ The Report states that any de
ficiencies are only those incident to all new roads, and that could
not have been avoided without materially rAtafrding the progress
of the great.work. Such deficiencies are supplied-by all railroad
companies after the completion of the tine, when and . wherever
experience shows them to be necessary. The report concludes by
saying that “ the country has reason to congratulate itself th#c
this great work of national importance is so; rapidly approaching
completion, under such favorable auspices." The Company now
have in use 137 locomotives and nearly ’ 2,000 cars of ail descrip
tions. A large additional equipment is ordered to be ready in the
Spring. The grading ii nearly completed and ties distributed for
120 miles in advMnce of the western end of the track. Fully 120
miles of iron for new track%reno#delivered west of the Misiour
river, and 90 mil* s more are en route. The total expenditures for
construction purposes inlad[vance of the completed portion of the
road is not less than eight|miUio& .dollars.
Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acres of land
per milftjthe Company Is entitled to subsidy in U.S. Bonds'on its
