has been assumed. One worthy brother, quite characteristically, has taken upon him to sup port two teachers. Another, with wonted liberality, three. A few churches have done nobly, and are deserving of all praise. But the most—nine-tenths—have done nothing for us. Some have done and are doing for others— Next year they will do for us. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS are wanted immediately to meet accruing indebt• edness to teachers and missionaries. It ought to be sent in, and can be, within a fortnight. Will not the delinquent churches crowd in a collection for the Freedmen during the month o f April? The people will bear it, if the facts be told them. A few individuals of large means and large heartedness could give the whole sum. N. B.—The gift Of three hundred and fifty dollars makes the donor a PATRON . of a Freed men's school. Many such Patrons are wanted just now. Send your contributions, large or small, with out delay, to Edward A. Lambert, Treasurer, No. 30 Vesey street, New York. 4tio rif guy Outljto, CITY.- The Wharton St. Nurck, Rev. J. Garland Hamner received on last Sabbath twenty four persons, twenty-two on profession. A me morial tablet will be dedicated in the church this evening in honor of Mrs. Mary Cornell, by whose legacy the funds for building the edifice were provided. Messrs. Barnes, Mears and Herrick, Johnson will deliver addresses. . Church Temperance Meetings are increasing in number. This Thursday evening such a meet ing will be held in North Broad St., under the auspices of the Young Peopre'S Association. That held in the Western church has now.a history of three *reeks,, the last' meeting being the fullest of any. Twenty.new names were pro cured to the pledge., The veteran, Rev. T. P. Hunt, was the principa I speaker., St. George's Church, Del., received nine per sons on profession last Sunday. Special meetings have been in progress some time, and these and the regular services are largely attended, with very hopeful indications. Bev'. D. J. Beale, pastor-elect, has been laboring diligently with little or no assistance. But the Spirit of God seems to be with him and with the people. MiniiteriaL Rev. E. Marsh's post•offiee address is'ehange,d from Mt. Carroll, 111., to Freepot, 111. Rev. J. P. Williamson's post-office addreis is changed from Santee Agency'to Grreenwood, Da kota Territory. He has been laboring for nine years among the Santee Tribe of the Sioux, and having seen the Church on its feet and two native pastors at wort among them, he is to start a new station among the Sioux. He calls for men to help. Rev. George F. Chapin has removed from Lawrence, Kan., to Irving , Marshall Co., Kan., having accepted a call to our church in the latter place. Rev. David Murdock, of Milford, Ct.; has re ceived a call to the Second church of Elmira..., Rev. Mr. Compton, of . Watsonville, Cal., re- Gently had his shoulder dislocated by being, thrown from a carriage. Rev. V. Leßoy Lockwood, of Durham, Greene Co., N. Y., has received a call from the church, New York Mills, Oneida Co., N. Y. It is ex pected that Mr. L. will accept this invitation' and commence his labors there at once. Churches. The Church at Camden, Oneida Co., Y., was formed .a little over 18 months 'since, with twenty.seve'n members. Accessions have been received' at every communion season, until, the present membership is eighty. Tuesday, March 30th, was a happy day for the little band with their pastor, as, after much labor, and various modes of working, pursued with indomitable energy, -they assembled in their own beautiful house of worship, free from debt, to dedicate it to the sarvice of the Triune God : Father, Son,land Holy Ghost. The day was ' unpleasant and the roads almost impassable. And yet a good con gregation was present. The order of exercises at the dedication was as follows: Invocation by Rev. T. A. Weed, of MexicO ; Anthem by the Choir; Reading 'of Selected Scriptures and Prayers by Rev. E. Curtiss, pastor of the Congregational church, Camden; Psalm by Rev. 0. C. Cole, of the. M. E. Church. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. S. W. Fisher, D.D., of Utica, from Psalm 481 9 : "We have thought of thy lovingk-indtiess, 0 God, in the midst of thy temple," presenting in a very interesting and impressive manner, asso ciations of Christian worship and ordinances which constitute the glory of the temple. The financial statement of the Building Committee, read by their Clerk and Treasurer, Mr. P. L. Hoadley,showed the cost of the church building, including site, bell, furnaces, reflectors, and seats in the lecture room—not embracing organ and furnishing, $15,442, 25 ; the whole of which is paid, with a surplus of $204.25 to apply on the organ fund.. There remains a little spring work in finishing the church front and grading the grounds. The ladies have furnished the house at a cost of $797, of which $367 have been paid, The dedicatory questions were then read; the session and trustees standing in front of the pul pit and responding, and the dedicatory prayer was offered, the whole congregation standing, by Rev. E. N. Manley, pastor elect, after which the benediction was pronounced by Rev. E. Gaylord, resident minister of the Wesleyan Methodist church. The building is a very substantial brick struc ture, 40 by 70 feet, with stone basement and slate roof and spire. The basement contains a pleasant and well ventilated session room and Sabbath•sohool room, and also a kitchen; -making the whole very convenient for festivals and social gatherings. The audience room, with the choir loft and organ; over the porch, and the pulpit at THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 8 ; 1869. the opposite end, with its stained glass windows and white walls, with the eeilino , above partly arched, and the reflectors suspended in the high est point, with the frescoing back of the pulpit, and the wood work in beautiful imitation of oak and black walnut, presents a very pleasing ap pearance. J. B. Fink's patent reflectors diffuse a mellow light over the whole room. The build ing is really a model in the convenience and symmetry of its parts, and in the neatness and beauty of its finish. The bell, from Jones & Co.'s foundry, Troy, is of the finest quality; and the organ, manufactured by J. N. Andrews, of Utica, is sweet and full toned, and well adapted in size and power to the capacity of the house. It is expected that eight persons will be re ceived at the communion next Sabbath on pro fession of their faith. The people are well united in their pastor elect, and, we trust, that in years to come they may have occasion to say, " We have thought of thy loving-kindness, 0 God, in the midst of. thy temple." H. N. M. Utica, N. Y.—Sunday, the 4th inst., was a, solemn and interesting day at the Westminster Presbyterian church. It was their communion' season. And the communicants were deeply af fected as Bev. Dr. Fisher, the pastor, read off the names of fifty-five persons, who had been re ceived by the session of 'the Church. Forty.six of the number united on professing , their faith' in Christ. Several of them were heads of families; but a large majority of them were youth con nected with the Sunday-school, whose ages ranged from twelve to nineteen yenrs. The Holy Spirit's work has'been gradual and quiet; but affecting the whole school, and quick ening many members of the church.. We trust this is but a . few drops before a mighty shower. There is a number of active co.workers with'the pastor in that' church, and God honors such la bor "by adding to the church such as shall be saved.". • . l'here was one case of interest that we will mention. It is that of a good moral man, who said : "I have been trying for twenty years past to get to heaven without Christ; but I haire dis covered my mistake. I have found that Jesus is the only way to heaven." This man is someway, beyond the meridian of life, and has found his mistake before it, is too late. But how many. 'there are who 'do not make the discovery Until " the harvest,is past and the summer is'efided." Cannonsville, • IV. Y.—The new church edifice, 44 by 68 feet, with furnace, • chestnut pews, car pets;, chandeliers, spire, 1,400 pound bell, &c., and costing $10,500, of, which the $5OO only came from the Church Election Committee, was dedicated free of debt; March 10th. • Chester, N. church has received twelve new members the fruit of a work of grace beginning with the Week of Prayer. Salem, N. Y.—The two Presbyterian churches of this place have been co-operating in revival work. The Brick church (Rev. E. P. Sprague pastor,) had an accession of twenty-one members on examination. Mr. Sprague has seen forty three added in the ten months of his 'pastorate, thirty-four on examination. Rome, o.—This church has been holding a series of extra meetings, in connection with the labors of an Evangelist appointed•by Presbytery. At the last communion twelve were admitted to membership. Flushing, Mich.—There have been thirty-one additions to this church recently, twenty-six up on profession, and what is very remarkable, twenty-four are heads of families, and fourteen of them men. Middleton, Wis.—A new church of seven mem bers was organized in 'this place March 21st, by Revs. B. G. Riley and W. M. Hoyt. The latter has been preaching in this place with success for seven months. A 'house of worship will be built in the summer. Tongunoxie, Ks.—Rev. H. E. Woodcock has been preaching in this place for less than a year. Christian influence has been brought to bear on the drinking saloons, all of which are now closed, and their former keepers united with the rest of Mr. W.'s congregation in a donation visit, which left him $75 the richer. Oakland, Cal.—Dr. Wadsworth, (0. 5.,) of San Francisco, preached in our church on the Sabbath after. Rev. L. Hamilton's deposition, and read the sentence of the San Jose Presbytery from the pulpit. He or Dr. Scudder was ex pected to fill the. same pulpit on the following Sabbath. Mr. Hamilton preached in the College Hall, some thirty members of the church having withdrawn with him and organized an indepen dent Presbyterian Church. Niscenaneens. Wabash College has been left $lO,OOO by the late Mrs. Jane Turner, of Rising Sun, Ind., for merly of Cincinnati. Her husband is a wealthy Englishman who is laboring abroad for the con version of the heathen. A Sabbath School Convention ordered by the Synod of Indiana will be held in Indianapolis, May 4th 6th. All branches of the Presbyte rian family are invited by the Synodical Commit tee to participate. • Wabash College.—Daring the Eanter term a daily prayer meeting was sustained for five weeks, and fourteen students were converted. —A young man, named David Gibson ' of Pe tersburg, Va., who had been stopping at Wilson's Hotel several days, died suddenly this mornng, of apoplexy, superinduced by intemperance. He was a builder, and recently fell heir to thirty thousand dollars. It is supposed he was on a frolic, enjoying a .•portion of it.—Balt. Corr. of Phildda. Inquirer, April 3d. The Great Resort. Last fall brought a marvelous increase of busi ness to the great Clothing House of Pennsylvania —Oak Hall. There were days when the sales of the concern touched the lofty figures of twelve thou sand dollars in one day, This of course was owing in general to the prodigious efforts put forth by Wan .amaker & Brown to meet the wants and wishes of the people in the matter of low prices and desirable goods. But no small part of the credit is due to the country people who seem to go en masse; coun ty after county supplying itself from the boundless and varied stock of the Largest Clothing House. Having made this good beginning, the proprietors have no feais of not being able to continue in the favor and patronage of their friends from out of town'; but have determined to please thdm so well this season that Oak Hall shall become the great "Resort" of the country trade.

Troches and all palliatives cannot in any case reach the fountain in the head, where the polluted, festering, corrosive matter issues. Snuff or duet of any kind aggravates, and never Cures the disease. A sneeze is nature's , emphatic warning, and is prodaced in conse quence of an irritation of the heal. Nature speaks out and says no! at every 'Sneeze. She opens the water ducts, and floods the nostrils With water to drive out the intruder, just as the ducts of the eye are opened when dust affects that organ. Taking snuff will produce Catarrh. The patient feels dull, heavy, stapid and sleepy; his - fears are not aroused until perhaps too late. • He catches cold constantly in the head, sometimes running at the nostrils; the breath sometimes reveals to his neighbors the corruption within; while the patient has often lost the sense of smell. The disease advances cautiously, until pain in the chest, lungs, or bowels, startles him; he hacks and coughs '; has dyspep sia, has liver complaint, wants to take a blood purifier, or cod liver oil. Bosh I - The foul ulcer In the head cannot be reached by such nostrums. He hecomes nervous, hia voice is harsh and unnatural, feels disheartened, memory loses her power, judgment her teat, gloOmy forebodings hang,overhead ; hundreds, yea, thousands, seek a rope, a river, a revolver, or a razor, and cut the miserable thread of life. The world looks on and wonders that a man surrounded by all the charms and opulence that gold can give, should deliber ately choose a quiet grave; others drag on a weary life end sink under lung complaints by inches. Many hire some miserable scamp of. come big sounding Charlatan, having such a string of pro motions from Europe thist they'actually bewilder and dazzle their • • victim, who at once comes down with the duet, pays $5 for a use lees examination, $OO more as part payment for a job cure. Of course the dupe is not silly enough 'to paY the balance, but thanks God he was not killed outright by the onttageous treatment. Th villains cooly write a flaming certifl.ate, and attach 'thereto the victim's name NEVADA. Thousands are restored to health whom "doctors call hopel,ss vic tims of Consumption. Physicians think - the lungs affected when the liver is the only cause of pain in the majority of cases, and the patientis.perfectly curable. NO lung complaints can exist unless caused by Catarrh. But the liver always first attacked. Medi cines taken in the stomach are worse than useless. Physicians know nothing, comparatively, of the symptoms of this disease—its cause or cure—and few are bold enough to deny this assertion. Many physicians have Catarrh therimelves and do not know it ; those of the highest standirg bay "Annihilator" to cure it. For, all afflicted with this disgusting complaint, DR. WOLCOTT'S ANNIHILATOR affords a saie, sure and speedy cure, when no bones have come from the head. The nostrils mint be rinsed with ANsitur. TOR, by snuffing through to th , , throat, and spit out the nasty cor ruption instead of swallowing or allowing it to run down the throat, and thus keep the ulcers clean of matter and they heal per manently. Also f Weak Nerves, Chronic Headache and 3.Zeural gin, it is invaluable. Twelve pints should be used for Catarrh, one pint each week.
