Colmery, pastor of ic church of Clifton, Ohio, has recently received house as a present from one of his elders. A harness and other useful presents were given by liis people. —At a meeting of the congregation of I'urbondale, Pa., held February Bth, a unanimous vote was passed to increase the salary of their pat-tor, Rev. Oliver Crane , to $1,500, and a sub scription was started on the spot to have the in crease date back to the Ist of September last. One man put down, $5O, and others followed till the sum was more than raised. The most harmo nious and happy feeling prevailed throughout. Presbyteries. The Presbytery of Geneva. (From another cor respondent). —This body held its annual meeting in l’enn Yan on the 2d and 3d inst. The Rev. ilcorgc Bayless of Phelps was elected Moderator. The pastors and supplies of all the churches, except two, were in attendance. The subject of Keunion was introduced, at a very early hour of the proceedings, and drew forth a much more cirnest and prolonged discussion than was anti cipated. The spirit,—the desire of Union, —it is simply just to say, pervaded the whole body, at, in view of the developments of the last nine months, misgivings were felt and freely but kind ly expressed, by some, as to the possibility of realizing, what alone is desirable, a freely-work ing, harmonious union. After a full review of the subject, however,'%y calling the roll and allowing each member such time as he desired, fur the expression of his sentiments, the follow ing action was taken, ultimately with unanimity: 1. Resolved, That the plan of Union, reported hy the Joint Committee and adopted and sent down to the Presbyteries by the General Assem bly of 1868, is hereby accepted. 2. It is also Resolved, That an amendment of paid plan, by an omission of the Explanatory llause in the First Article and the whole of the Tenth, meets tbo approval of this Presbytery, and, so far as it has authority, it empowers the next General Assembly to consummate a Reunion on the basis of the plan thus amended. Reports from the churches indicate no special outpouring of the Spirit during the year. Meet ings, commencing with the week of prayer in January, have been continued with encouraging tokens in some parts of the field. In Geneva, the Union meetings were represented as wearing a very hopeful aspect. The depth of feeling per vading them and the unity of spirit manifested by the different denominations were alluded to as cheering indications of the presence of a power from on bigh. The hearts of Bro. Magie’s people in Penn Yan, also, seemed to be under the enlivening influence of the Spirit. Viewed from the pecuniary standpoint, the churches of this Presbytery have never stood in :t better position. Debts have almost or quite vanished from our bounds. Nearly every congrega tion has a convenient house of worship, and sev eral of them comely ones. Almost all, also, have comfortable manses, in which their pastors and supplies can feel the quietude of home. LESSONS ON PAUL-VII- (Prepared weekly for the American Presbyterian.)

Hartford, Jan. 16tb, 1863. “ I want to express my thanks to you for compiling Fresh Lau rels, which I have been endeavoring for a year to introduce to the Officers and teachers at the Grand Street M ssi m, in this city. ** Heretofore our children would not sing, nor could we induce them to in atiy way till the musical portion of the teachers con descended to listen to me, and hear the music from Fresh Laurels. The resalt waa I was authorized to procure as many books as I thought necessary for the use of the school. I ordered one hun dred (onr school averages an atteudance of 117), and sung from them the last Sabbath in Dec., 1868. Now our children sing will ingly the beautiful pieces, and are each anxious to have a book to themselves, and I think we can afford to let them have them bo, for they sing with more interest Our little rehearsals are well attended and the children ready to take hold and learn, for the um«ic enters their souls, and they can’t help singing. “You don’t know how many thanks I receive for being so persis tent in presenting the book to the notice of the teachers. I will not say more than to thank you again, and may God blesß yon for giving us ‘Fresh Laurels.’ Your friend, “E. B.

As 50) miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at S crameuto, 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, tbe Company is entitled to subsidy in IT. S. Bonds on i l'ne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of abou $26,500 per mile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which the Government take a second lien as security. Whether sub sidies are given to any other companies or not, the Governmen 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 Compmy is permitted to issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to thesame amount as the Government Bonds, and no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole 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 aie generally valuable in proportion to tbe length of time they have to run. The longest six per cent gold interest bonds of the U. S., (the ’Bl’s) will be due in 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they had 30 years to ran, 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 the work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF THE 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 secure. The entire amount of the mortgage will be about, $30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per annum in gold. The present currency cost of this Interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA TION, WERE MORE THAN • FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, Tfa e details of which are as fol lows: From “ Freight “ Express « Mails..;... “ Mi5ce11ane0u5........... “ Government troops... u “ freight... “ Contractors’ men « “ material. 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 esti mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR. As the supply of these Bonds will soon cease, parties who desire to invest in them will find it for their interest to do so at once. The price for the present is par and accrued interest from Jao.l, in currency. • A NEW PAMPHLET AND MAP was issued Oct. Ist, containing a report of the progress of the work to that dftte, and a more complete statement in relation to the value of the Bonds than can be given in an advertisement, which will be sent free on applica tion at the Company’s offices or to aif|f 0/ the advertised agents. 1)E HAVEN & BRO., Bankers & Dealers in Govt.
