Rnl H'Vnj/, Minn. —This church, of which Rev. ih K. Wells was recently installed pastor, numbers now 156 persons, thirty-eight having been re ceived within a year. J?or all purposes $3,200 was raised in 1868, and lots have been purchased and enclosed ior the site of a new house of wor ship. All debts have; been paid off, and the church, so recently depending on the H. M. Com mittee, are now more than self-supporting. The Sunday-school and the Temperance Society each number 200 memhers. Ileeseoille , Pa. —This church has given to Mr. Thomas Aiken, an O. S. licentiate, the son of one nf the elders, a very cordial call to its pastorate.

Y., met at Fulton, January 26th, at 2 o’clock, P. M., and was opened with a sermon by Rev. H. N. Millerd, Moderator, from Isaiah, Hi. : 7, after which Rev. Thos. A. Weed was chosen moder ator. There was nothing more than the ordi nary routine of Presbyterial business, and a large share of the time was given to religious exercises, llev. W. B. Stewart, of Rochester, was heard iu behalf of the American and Foreign Christian Union, and it was Resolved, that we commend to the churches of this Presbytery, the claims of that society, and recommend that it be remem bered in our annual contributions. Rev. H. N Millerd and Elder D. W. Inger soll were chosen as commissioners to the next General Assembly, and Rev. T. A. Weed and Elder Samuel Smith, Alternates. Rev. E. Sco ville was chosen Commissioner to the Auburn Theological Seminary for three years. The narrative of religion speaks of revivals in the churches of Williamstown and Mexico since the week of prayer, and of a more than usual in terest in the church at Fulton. The question of Reunion called out some discussion, and it was Resolved, That we prefer that the plan overtured by the Assembly to the Presbyteries, should be adopted, but, in order to facilitate the object, if deemed best by the next General As sembly, we give our assent to a union on the basis of “ the Standards, pure and simple.” The usual committees on Home and Foreign Missions were continued, and stops were taken, with a view to reclaim one of our churches, which has for a long time been without the stated ministrations of the Gospel, and is in a very low state. The devotional meetings were characterized by a good degree of interest, and the session of Presbytery, though short, was one of pleasure and profit. The Presbytery op Utica met in Glayville, ou the evening of the 25th, and was opened with a sermon by Rev. P. H. Fowler, D.D., from Matt, xxviii. 20. “Lo, I am with yon alway, even unto the end of the world.” Rev. E. B. Furbish was elected Moderator. A good num ber of ministers and delegates were present. The fallowing Commissioners were elected to represent the Presbytery at the meeting of the next Gene ral Assembly: Rev. Drs. T. H. Fowler and S. W. Fisher principals, and Revs. E. A. Manly and E. 0. Pritchett alternates. Elders Torbet, M.D , and Gallup, M. 8., principals, and Thos. Williams and R. S. Williams alter nates. Rev. John Campbell was received from the Presbytery of Trumbull. He is supplying the Deerfield and South Trenton churches within the bounds of our Presbytery. The pastoral re lation existing between Rev. B. F. Willoughby and the church of Augusta was dissolved. Mr. Willoughby has received and accepted a call from the church at S inquoit; over which church he expects to be installed in May next. The pastoral relation of Rev. C. Fitch and the Pres byterian church of New York Mills was also dis solved. Mr. Fitch is supplying a Congregational church in Rockford in one of the Western States. Rev. A. Erdmann, pastor of the Stone Presby terian church of Clinton, N. Y., has received a call from a Presbyterian church in Norristown, N. J.,and also one from the Second Presbyterian church of Cleveland, 0. Bro. Erdmann’s people will very much regret to part with their young, growing, and valuable pastor. It is expected that he will aooept of one of these calls. May Providence direct his steps aright. The following resolution on Reunion was unani mously passed. Resolved, “ That this Presbytery approves of, and gives its consent to, the Reunion of the two branches of. the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, either on the basis, proposed by the Joint Committee of.thirty and approved by the two General Assemblies meeting in May, 1868, respectively‘at Albany, N. Y., and Harrisburg, Pa.; or on that basis modified by an omission of the 10th article and of the following words in the Ist article—' It being understood that the confession is received in its historical, that is, the Calvinistic or Reformed sense. It is also understood that various methods of viewing, stating, explaining, and illustrating the doctrines of the confession, which do not impair the in tegrity of the Reformed or Calvinistic system are to be fully allowed in the United Church, as they have hitherto been allowed in the Separate churches.” H. N. Miiaerd, Stated Clerk. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1869. -Bullftiit. RANDOLPH SAILER, ESQ, At a congregational meeting of the Greenwich St. Presbyterian church, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, Our Heavenly Father has by a dark and mysterious Providence removed from us by death, our beloved friend and brother JRan dolph Sailer, and Whereas, This church and Sab bath school, owe, under God, their existence, in great measure, to his energy, self-sacrifice and liberality. Therefore, Resolved, That in this sad and mournful event, we recognize the hand of an All-wise, and All merciful God; whose thoughts are not as our thoughts; whose ways are not as our ways; and that we bow submissively to the will of Him, who knowing the end from the be ginning doeth all things well. Resolved, That in the death of Randolph Sailer, this church has lost an Elder wise in counsel, prudent in action, conscientious in the discharge of every duty; a I Trustee , to whose sound judgment, ceaseless effort and generous contributions, we are indebted for our present unembarrassed financial condition; a S. S- Superintendent, to whose energy and self sacrifice during the past seven years, this Sunday school now numbering 450 scholars owes in great measure its existence and success. Resolved, That we heartily sympathize with the .widow of the de ceased, and pray that that Jesus,; who sustained her husband in his last moments may sustain her in this hour of darkness, and'soryow. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Amer ican Presbyterian, and a copy of the same, sent to the widow of our deceased brother. Wm. Hutton, Moderator. The Pastor of Calvary Chdroh, Rev. Z. M. Humphrey, D.D., is bringing to a close his series of sermons on the life of Christ. We have been shown a card circulated among andby the congregation, containing a statement of the four concluding topics, under the general title: 11 The life of Christ,—its four closing conflicts.” The first of the four, “ The conflict with humani- : ty” was the subject for last Sabbath evening. The remainder are: The conflict of soul, Luke xxii. 42., for next Sabbath: The conflict with death, 1 Cor. xv. 55., for Feb. 14th : The conflict with the grave (same passage) for Feb. 21st. On the card, several suitable passages of Scripture are mentioned, in connexion with each subject, so that matter for appropriate meditation and pre paration is suggested to the hearers, some time in advance. ■ —The serious and hopeful state of things an nounced in the First and Green Hill Churches continues, and in the latter especially has deep ened to the most marked results. Special ser vices for prayer and conference are continued in both every evening this week, at the First church at quarter before eight and at Green Hill church at eight o’clock. The Seventy-first Anniversary of the organization of the First-Reformed Presbyterian Congregation, Rev. T. W. J. Wylie pastor, was appropriately celebrated in the; very large Sab bath-school room of the church on Broad st., on Thursday Evening last. Mr. George H. Stuart occupied the chair; and a long .evening was de lightfully spent in brief spirited addresses, sing ing by the congregation, vocal and instrumen tal music by an amateur Musical Society, and a feast of good things, which in their, abundance exceeded the capacities even of the,great throng of participants. One of the marked; features of the occasion was the presentation of a very hand some Bible by the Congregation to Rev. Dr. J. W. Fairies, who although holding the delicate position of a minister in the congregation has had the esteem and affection of the people for many years. —Lippincott has just published a new story by the deservedly popular author, whose nom de plume is “ Martha Farquharson.” The story is founded on Waldensian history, and is called “Casella, or the Children of the Valleys.” On Thursday night, 21st inst., Rev. Peter Stryker, D.D., delivered his lecture on “ Conver sation ” in the First Presbyterian church, Mana yunk. The house was well filled with an appre ciative and delighted audience. The lecture was not only of attractive points but of sound and useful thought, practical and instructive. It was a real treat to listen to a production chaste and beautiful to a refined taste, sparkling with pleas ant points yet without that miserable clap-trap used for spicing public performances, and never befitting the house of God. N. —■ The fearful frequency of murder cases in our courts within the last two months, must have roused the apprehensions of our citizens. Scarce ly is one off the calendar when another is called. Mrs. Twitchell, as our readers are doubtless aware, was cleared of all complicity with her husband in the murder of her mother, the Com monwealth’s Attorney having thrown up the case, soon after the commencement of the trial. Her mother’s property, which it is supposed was the motive of the crime, will be her own. On the 26th of January, a young man named James Hagen was acquitted of the charge of nfurder, almost solely upon medical testimony. He had struck Frederick Winter, upon the head, and the man afterwards died. The medical testimony, as presented by the prisoner’s counsel, went to show that “ The deceased was diseased in heart and liver and predisposed to apoplexy, and the flow of blood which was the immediate cause of death, came from the bursting of a blood vessel, produced by his passion, surprise and emotion.” The jury, in half an hour after the case was submitted, returned with a verdict of “notguilty.” Judge Allison, in discharging the prisoner, is re ported to have said that “He supposed the jury had been influenced in their verdict by the cloud which the medical testimony had thrown-around the case as to whether thedeath of W inter was occasioned by the blow or by natu ral causes. He reminded the prisoner how narrow was his escape, and of the fact that it was at least probable that he had caused the death of Winter. He admonished him to refrain from giving way to his violent passions, and told him that had he uot established on the trial a good character for peace and quiet, he should have been compelled to have ordered him to enter bail to be of good behavior here after.” " Tile I*re»bytery of Keokuk will hu’d a special meet ing at Montrose on the second Tuesday (t‘te 9th) February, at 7 o’clock, P.M.

As 600 miles of the western portion of the Inc, beginning at sa cramento, are also done, but 267 MILES REMAIN To be Finished, to Open the Grand Through Line to the Pacific. This Opening will certainly take place early this season. Besides a donation from the Governmentof 12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in U. S. Bonds on its “ “ mpl , et<,d and acce P ted - “ Average rate of about *26,500 per mile, accordingto the difficulties encountered for whieb the Government take a second li.n as security. Whether sub sidies are given to «ny other companies or not, the Government will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Com pany will be entitled have already been delivered. First Mortgage Bonds AT PAR. By its charier the Company is permitted to issue its own first MORTGAGE BONDS to tbesame amount as the Government Bond, and no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage npon the whol.l road and all its equipments. THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT, and both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD. Such securities at e generally valuable in proportion to.the length of time they hawe to run. l'he longest six per cent gold intere.t bonds of the V. 8, (the -Si’s) will be due in 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they had 30 years to run, they would stand at not less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in vestment is already considerable, and on the completion of (he work will doubtless carry the pyice to a large premium. SECURITY OP 3HE BONDS. It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,500 per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad con necting the Atlantic and Pacific States, is perfectly hecubs. The entire amount of the mortgage will he about $30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per anuum in gold. The present currency cost of tills interest is less tbau $2,500,000 per aunum, while the gross earning, for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN AVERAGE OP BESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA TION, WERE MORE THAN . FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, The details ef which are as follows From Pas sen gers “ Freight “ Expre55......... i. ** Mails.— “ Miscellaneous “ Government troops... u ' l freight... ** Contractors’ men “ ‘‘ maiertal, This large amount is only an indication of the immense traffic that must go over the through line In a few months, when the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade .will begin. It is eeti* mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.
