at the first of the year, but the work has uoue on mainly under the regular appointments of the church and the Sabbath-school, accompa nied by the utmost diligence in pastoral effort. The cases of decided interest have scarcely been less than one hundred, but those admitted to the church have been under several weeks, (some of them months) of training, like catechumens in primitive times. Regular Monday evening meetings have been held for converts and inqui rers. Those proposing to unite were early re quested to hand in their names, and at these meetings and at their own homes, they have been carefully examined and instructed on all practi cal topics, the pastor and session becoming person. ally acquainted with every case; so that the fifty one actually received, had every opportunity to give and to gain reasonable assurance of prepara tion for the solemn step. The members of the church have been greatly quickened, and many have been efficient co-workers. Some, too, have been shaken out of their old hopes, and have gone through all the steps of a regular conver sion. Not a few families rejoiced to see their younger members coming into the fold; while others became divided 'households by the ingath ering of their first fruits to the Lord. Among the number received by profession was the daughter of one of the most lamented of our circle of ministers • also the mother-in-law and sister-in•law of a Wilmington minister, also one nearly blind, and one the wife of a Roman Catholic. Among the letters were two from Groton, Mass., one from the Mystic Church, Connecticut, and one from Ireland. Ten were baptized, the pas tor taking pains to state the different relations of those who had been baptized in infancy; from them no public profession could properly be demanded, and yet it was a privilege any one might be glad to enjoy to publicly own the Lord as his sod. It was a grand sight when, all the new members standing, the church arose to wel come them. Fully five sixths of the great con gregation were on their feet. It seemed like an army of Immanuel making a grand advance upon the ranks of the evil one. And like the sound of many waters was their glad anthem U 0 happy day that fixed my choice," sung to the inspiring notes and chorus of " ilappy Day!' After the reception, an appropriate' address was made to the new members by the pastor, and the elements were distributed, the services-being closed with an address by Dr. Mears. The speaker expressed the deep and peculiar interest he felt in these tokens of the divine favor to one who had long been his closest friend in the ministry, and which he knew to be the reward of indefatigable labors out of as well .as in the pulpit; he shared in his brother's joy and sym pathized with him in his inability at such a privileged hour to tell all he felt. He closed with an earnest appeal to the unconverted in the congregation. This accession Bakes a total of 104 received during the year, seventy being on profession. There is but one pew in the house to rent; and some enlargement is imperatively demanded. Oxford Church The church of which Rev. Frank Robbins is pastor, also enjoyed a most memorable occasion on last Sabbath, in the largest ingathering of its history, when very nearly forty per cent. were added to its former membership. The commu nion services in this church are held at night, being thus parallel in point of time with the original institution, and enjoying the mellowing effect of which we believe most persons are con scious on Sabbath evening, of the previous ser vices and sacred associations of the day. All the lower part of the chapel was crowded at an early hour. Preliminary services were held from half past six to half past seven, o'clock. After singing, prayer and reading the Scriptures, with some remarks by the pastor, the names of the candidates (thirty-four by profession and twenty seven by letter) were read ; twelve of them were baptized; and the whole were then received in the usual manner. The material thus received was of the most promising appearance ; those by profession ranging in age fromfourteen to Sixty years ; several men verging towards fifty or more, and twelve being young men, and about as many young women, the whole group of sixty-one be ing such as any pastor might covet to have around him. As part of the services, the pastor read extracts from notes addressed to him by the candidates, some of them of the most touching interest, and one especially from the youngest of the group showing remarkable clearness of view and good training in the standards of our faith. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Adams, and the consecration hymn—" 0 happy day "—was sung by the congregation with thrilling effect. The bread was distributed by Dr. Mears, and remarks were made by the pastor, who afterwards dis tributed the cup. Dr. Mears made the closing address, in which he spoke of the memorable scenes he had this day witnessed, of the great advance made by the churches, and of the speed with which our land would be evangelized and the world converted if all our churches, were equally successful. AU would be done in the course of a generation. He appealed to the un converted not to let the day of grace pass, and thus let the division lines drawn to night be em blematic of the eternal separation. Many hearts seemed to be touched, and a deep and hopeful feeling pervaded the assembly. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. Adams. The music in which the whole congregation heartily joined was led with his wonted skill by Mr. Thomas Rawlings. The second anniversary of the Brainerd Me morial Sabbath-school was held on Sabbath after noon April 4th. The building which accommo dates four hundred children, was literally packed, till not even a very lean child could have found entrance. The exercises commenced with that beautiful anthem "The Children's Te Deum " the solo by a little girl 10 years old, with a voice as clear and sweet as a silver bell. After prayer and the reading of the 103 d Psalm, came another peal of joy bells from the Children, and when the report of the Superintendent, full of glad tidings of . joy; for 'God had blessed the school the last year, not only with outward prosperity but with that deeper and rieher, experience of his love in the bringing of many of - the teachers and scholars to a new life in Christ, Jesus. But there is also much to rejoioe over in the increase of the scholars to 400, and teachers to 56; , in,the growing experience and steadfastness, of t these THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1869. teachers; in the addition of a library of one thousand volumes of the S. S. literature, and in every other evidence of life and growth. After the report., cam% the address of Dr. Herrick Johnson, whom our children will not soon forget, or his sermon on "the little foxes that spoil the vines." Then followed a most beautiful part of the exercises—the floral offerings. A large harp covered with evergreen, and surmounted by an evergreen arch, was placed on a platform erected in front of the desk. This was filled with flow ers sent up from each class, the classes having each an emblematic title with an appropriate verse of Scripture. Many classes sent up em blems, among them, from " The Cross Bearers," was a beautiful cross of natural flowers ; from " Hope" Class an anchor of japonicas, azaleas, &c. Then rewards were presente I; and after the children had sung another ringing, joyous melody, the pastor, Rev. R. H. Allen, spoke words of gratulation and thankfulness for God's goodness in the past, and of hope and encour agement for the future, leading all thoughts up from this festal occasion to that joyful gathering of the blessed on the banks of the river of life. Thus closed an occasion that will ever be fragrant with sweet memories. H. The Greenwich St. Sabbath School celebra ted its eighth anniversary, Sabbath afternoon,' April 4th. The chapel was crowded, nearly 500 children being present. A beautiful life sized portrait of Randolph Sailer, Esq., in an ex quisitely-finished black walnut frame, was su:s pended over the pulpit. This picture was pur chased by the S. School scholars, at their own suggestion, and placed permanently in the cha pel, as an expression of their love for, and desire to perpetuate the memory of, their late much loved superintendent. The exercises' were inter esting and instructive, the speaking and singing admirable. Addresses were delivered by Drs Johnson', Humphrey, and Stryker. A beautiful basket of flowers was presented to the pastor, Rev. Wm. Hutton. He also received a hand some chair for his study. The 'contributions of the church and Sunday-school, inCluding expen ses, benevolence, &c., during the year just ended, amounted to s2,29o—against $1,626 last year. The church owns property worth $17,0002--and owes nothing. gtsbso kit gut eturrijr,s, Presbyteries.

Several were of middle life. Our male member ship has• been doubled by this increase of twenty three. One of these converts was a bitter opposer and threatened vioience to the pastor for having spoken to his wife, also a convert, upon the.sub ject of religion. We expect forthwith to.erect a lecture-room; in the. rear of the church, to acoom modate the large number' who attend our weekly meetings:" The Seasons. "While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest and cold and heat, and 'summer and viinter ' and day and night shall not case." One of the changes incident upon this change of seasons is that of our clothing from the thick heavy garments of winter to the light and airy t elothes of summer, and there is no one,thing that contributes more to our comfort, our health and to economy than our thus regulating our clothing by these changes of the season.

WOle OUTT'T ANNIHILATOR, ft dif ferent Remedy, and un like PAIN Paper. Thou sand suffer without know ing the nature of this uni versal complaint. It is au Ulceration of the head. Its indications are Hawk ing, Spitting, weakness or inflamed Eyes, soreness of the Throat, dryness and heat in the nose, matter running from the head down the Throat. rinsing or deafness in the Ears, lossof Smell, Memory im paired, dullness and dizzi ness of the head,- pains in the left Chest or side and under the Shoulder Blade. Indigestion invariably at tends Catarrh; a hacking cough and colds are very common. Some have all these symptoms, others only few. Very little pain attends Catarrh until the Liver and Lunge are at tacked in consequence of the stream of pollution running from the head into the stomach. It ends in Consumption. Bronchitis is the legitimate child of Catarrh. Trochee and a palliatives cannot in any case reach the fountain in the head, where the polluted, fluttering, corrosive matter issues. Snuff or dust of any kind aggravates, and never cures the disease. A sneeze is nature's emphatic warning, and is prod aced in conse quence of an irritation of the head, Nature speaks out and says no lat 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, stupid 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, ham liver complaint, wants to take a b.ood purifier, or cod liver oil, Bosh! The foul ulcer in the head cannot be reached by such nostrums. He becomes nervous, his voice is harsh and unnatural, feels disheartened, Memory loses her power, judgment her ,eat, gloomy forebodings bang overhead; hundreds, yea, thousands, seek &rope: a river, a revolver, or a'razor, and cut the miserable thread of bfe. 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 and sink under lung complaints by inches. Many hire some miserable scamp of some big mounding Charlatan, having such a string of pro motions from Europe that they actually bewilder and dazzle their victim, who at once comes down with the duet, pays $5 for a use less examination, $5O 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 outiagebrei treatment. Th e villains cooly write a flaming certificate, and attach thereto the victim's name Thousands are restored to health whom doctors call hopeless 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 patient is perfectly curable. No lung complaints ran exist unless caused by Catarrh. Bet the liver is 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 asserti-n . Many physicians have Catarrh themselves and do not know it ; those of thehighest standleg briy `Annihilator" to cure it. For all afflicted with this disgusting complaint, DR, WOLCOTT'S Asmnammottuffords a sale, sure and speedy cure, when no bones have come from the head. The nostrils mu•t be rinsed with ANNIEILL TOR, by snuffing through to th- throat, and spit out the na-ty cor ruption instead of Mvalloiving or allowing it to mu down the thMat, and thus keep the ulcers clean of matter and they heal per , manently. Also f r Weak Nerves, Chronic Headache and Neural - gia, it is invaluable.
