t.i di.-burso their charities in the old way. Some Western applicants have thus obtained four or five times as much as those who were disposed tn abide by the general arrangement, and this success has induced others to take the field. Tims the old system seems likely to be in part revived. The Hoard do acknowledge such special gifts ,if special because they have often been requested to do so, and they wish to report all, if any. Meanwhile, it is the privilege of those churches which give liberally once a year to the General Treasury to limit their gifts to that one effort. af fun The Committee of Home Missions received in January $17,189.43; and for the Freedmen $1,173.76 more. Of the former, New York State gave $10,591.87. 41 appointments were made, including five to the Freedmen; four in South Carolina, and one in Tennessee. The Church Erection Fund received in December $ L 1,246.70, of which $7,097.91 was from New York State. Ministerial Relief received $3,962.05 in the quarter ending January 31st. The Education Committee received in January $1,213.33. Clmrches. York, Pa. —On Sabbath morning, the 7th inst., twelve persons were received to the mem* bership of the church at York, (Rev. H. E. Niles pastor,) twelve by confession and two by letter. At the same time a very interesting bap tismal service was held—one of the children be ing an infant son of the pastor. Regular even ing services have been Sustained by this church for about two weeks, and some remarkable tokens of the presence of the Holy Spirit have been en joyed. Pittsburg, Pa. —“ The Third church is doing some radical things which, we fear, will not please everybody in that staid old state, electing three elders each year for a term of three years. The board of six deacons are put under the same rule. Stranger still, they have elected six dea conesses. Yerily the world does move! There is no fossilization in that church. According to the “ M mutes of the General Assembly,” during the same year, it also expended for Congrega tional purposes, including church-erection, $15,- 000 more than any other church in the whole country, with a single exception.” —The Inde pendent. Newark , N. J. —The Central church assembled on the evening of March 4th to welcome their new pastor, llev. W. T. Findley, D.D., late of the 0. 8. church in Xenia, 0.

New York City. —The church of the Cove nant, Now York, the Rev. George L. Prentiss pastor, wus organized six years ago, and at the commencement of this year had a very fine church, chapel, and parsonage at the corner of Park avenue and Thirty-fifth street, and also a debt of $52,000. This last they have, since, the middle of January, raised the money to pay. The total cost of their buildings is about $160,- 000. The General Assembly are to meet in this church in May next. Washington, D. G. —Hawkeye” writes to The Presbyterian: “ The President and his fami ly entered the new Methodist Episcopal Metro politan church on Sunday morning, [March 7th] after the services had begun, and proceeded to the Beat that had been set apart for them near the front. It being filled, they sought seats to gether elsewhere, but not finding them, they gradually retired down the aisle, passed out the door, and attended church at Dr. Sunderlands. Such an incident will hardly happen there again.” “Glenn” Writes to The Presbyterian Banner: “Ono of the plainest-looking men at Dr. Sun derland’s church, on a recent Sabbath, was Gen eral Grant. This characteristic of the new President was rendered more prominent on that occasion by reason of Dr. Sunderland’s audience being such a fashionable one as to dress. It is thought to be more so than any other Presby terian congregation in the city.” Bishop Simpson called on Gen. Grant during the week to apologize for the neglect shown him at the Me ropolitan church, and one of the offi cers of the church also waited on him with a deed of a pew. On last Sabbath Grant attended the Metropolitan church with his family. Maumie City, O. —The churches of this place have received a refreshing shower, and quite a number are rejoicing in the Lord. The labors of our young brother R. F. M’Laren, who was ordained to the work of the ministry and install ed as pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place a few months ago, are quite acceptable, and have resulted in the addition of some ten or more by profession to the church. Meetings were continued every other night for several weeks. The work of the Lord seems to be pros pering in some of the churches in the neighbor hood.

P- Bevan writes to The Herald: “Quite au awakening has .taken place in this town with the study of the Scriptures, and great numbws, both of old and young, attend the sanctuary for this purpose. The Bible has gone up and infidelity has gone down. There iB a great hungering for the Word of life, and the congregations k are large, serious and inquiring.” k . ■ Harris Frairie, lnd. Rev. J. D.

Thirty-seven have joined the church, all but eight on profession, and more are expected. Quincy, Mich. —Mr. Barnes' church here is so crowded with hearers that they are forced to cry “the place [M. E. church] is too strait for us,” and to undertake the erection of a larger edifice of their own. They have already raised $2,900. part of it coming from Dr. B. W. Patterson's church in Chicago. Coldwater, Mich. —This church are just com pleting a beautiful edifice, costing about $40,- 000. Having sold their old building, they are now worshipping in the Court-house.

High Forest, Mich. —This place has been visited from on high, some 130 of the citizens having accepted Christ.

Montreal, Canada. —The American Presby terian Church has given a call to Henry Ward Beecher, offering him a salary equal to that which he receives in Brooklyn. A New York paper gives the following reason why Mr. Beecher ought not to remove to Montreal: “There is, doubtless, a well-written obituary no tice of the distinguished gentleman yf every well-regulated newspaper office in the country, and they all locate him at Plymouth church. It is not likely that he would go back on the press in any such way as this Montreal business would indicate." Ministerial- Rev. J. L. Robertson, pastor of the Second church of Cincinnati, was in his pulpit on Sab bath, March 7th, the first time since his sickness, and preached with even more than his usual ear nestness and unction.

STEEL COMPOSITION BELLS Parnt will never smart nor stain, Paint will ease the greatest paiu, Paint will cure foul ulcers deep, Prom them inflammation keep; An invention that will last When all liniments are past, When all pills and powders fall, Tain Paint will outlive them all. The latest scientific discoveries prove that the principle of eva poration and absorption is the only method by which inflammation can lie instantly removed, lint the absorbents will not drink water readily, fur the flesh is of an oily nature, and water rolls off. Hot liniments have utterly failed, for they always iuflame and burn the flesh wherever applied, while oils or ointments clog the pores and prevent the escape of morbid matter. But a preparation has bem made aud already tested on over 503,000 people, suffering all kinds of pain and disease that is possible to enumerate, ard it acts like magic on each aud every individual. It is limpid os water, and is as harmless; will not stain or smart, and so prepared that the ab sorbents drink it rapidly and the evaporation that instautly arises through the million of pores is really marvellous. It is an inven tion hitherto unknown, but is of as much importance as tl.e intro duction of steam or the magnetic telegraph; for the drying up single tear has more of honest fame than shedding seas of gore this article not only dispels all heat and fever, but evaporates ou all impurity and morbid matter of the system or bloodatany pom wherever applied. This novelty is Dr. Wolcott’s Pain Paint. His office at No. 181 Chatham Square, N. Y., has a greater number of patients, with every type of disoase, than any hospital in America or Europe. This f*ct alone enables him to give the best practical advice to those who suffer from any malady, disease or pain. It costs the patient nothing for advice, beside ail pain is instantly re moved free of cost. Tens of thousands given up as hopeless are permanently cured, and restored to the activity of life. A largo share of these applicants goffer with drug disease, and have had their whole system medicated and poisoned through and through with medicine. Dr. Wolcott condemos most emphatically ail drug treatment, aud proves practically that disease can be radi cally expelled from the system without dosing the stomach. The advent of Pain Paint overturns the old theory of cure; ami medical practitioners are at their wits end in beholding such undeniable and astonishing cures of those coses considered bji themselves as .utterly hopeless. Hundreds come over ono thousand miles to ob* tain treatment and advice; many have been suffering for j ears who are unable from sickness or poverty to make the journey. To all such it will bo mot e practicable to purchase bis remedies aud have them sent free of express charges. A piut of Pain Paint (double strength) will be sent for $5; a quai*. for $B, or a gallon for $2O, on receipt of the money at No. 181 Chatham Square, N. Y., or % doz. pints of Wolcott's Anuihihitor, for the cure of Catarrh $6, with full directions and advice Small bottles can be bought at all first class Drug Stores. Beware of all imitators who i.ftVr worthless compounds. Wolcott’s signature is vcj-y large on white wrappers around each bottle of alt his remedies. A. mar.4-lw. WOOD'S BOTANY. A- S.
