~~. ~-~- ;March's :\lis,:ion Board—has been obliged to icave this congregation, for having assisted at Dr. Wylie's communion on the Sabbath pre vious. He has joined the First church (Dr. Wylie's). —The so-called " First R. P. church in con nection with General Synod," (worshipping in Horticultural Hall,) had an accession of twenty at their Spring communion. • They are still vacant and waiting for General Synod " to make R case" for them, before proceeding to sue for the property of the First church. —The Second Reformed Presbytery, at its last meeting, received and licensed two students (Samuel and Joseph Moffat), from the Eastern Reformed Presbyterian Synod of Ireland. —The U. P. Presbytery of Philadelphia met in the Second church, May 3d and 4th. A minister of the A. R. P. Church (South) was invited to sit as a corresponding member. Mr. 'W. S. Owens was received and arrangements made for his ordination and installation in the North U. P. church.' May 18th, Mr. T. H. Pol lock, having completed his studies' at Newburgh, was licensed. —The First U. P. church (Pr. Dales') had an accession of seventeen members at its Spring communion. This is the oldest of our Psalm• singing ehttrches. Its first house of worship, in Thirteenth street near Market, was built by Mrs. Duncan, a Scotch lady, in fulfilment of a vow made while she was apparently about to be, killed and eaten by the starving passengers of an emigrant vessel, on its way to our shores, in the earlier part of last century. The Soots' Presby terian church also owes its origin to the Duncan family. —the U. P. church of Frankford (Rev. Jas. Price's) are finishing a fine new church o❑ a fine site at the corner of Orthodox and Franklin streets, which is to cost $20,000. The style is early English, the material Frankford stone in rubble work trimmed with granite. The tower is about 72 feet high. The main edifice is 123x42 feet. J. H. Windrin, the builder of ,the Masonic temple, is the architect. The congre gation is about 100 strong; and is only $2,500 in debt so ar. *in tif fur Revivals. The work of God at Elkton, 3.ld.—The Pres byterian church in this old town had prayed and waited for the refreshing season from the presence of the Lord a long time. They had received drops, but they lingered for the shower. God has not disappointed the prayer of faith. A series of weekly services have been held durity , the past winter, when the pastor was assisted b e Y several brethren. In most protracted exercises of this character, we have seen more external meta festation of feeling. In this case no other means were used to develop it, than preachif , always preceded by a prayer-meeting, and the most thorough pastoral visitation. The results are now visible in an ingathering of thirty-one members, more than half of which were received on Sabbath, May 3rd, into the communion of the church, the remainder being detained by the severe storm. Probably this church never enjoyed so interesting a commun ion, nor felt so strong as they do at the present time. They are now, with commendable zeal, raising the funds preparatory to rebuilding their house of worship, which is a great desideratum, as was evinced in their recent protracted meet ings. If they should deem it expedient to solicit aid from our city, we hope they will meet a fav orable response. Their unsightly. .edifice prevents their commanding the influence to which the, character of the congregation entitles them. It may not be known, that our present Post Master General (Cresswell), is a member of this congre gation, and manifests an interest in the pas tor, Rev. H. Mathews, and in whatever may pro 7 mote the prosperity of this church E. B. BRUEN. Marathon, N. Y.—A-union protracted meet ing here has resulted in a revival. The church under the care of Rev. 11. Lyman has received an accession of ten as a part of the fruits. Other churches were blessed. The converts are young people. Nine received baptism. , King's Ferry, N. Y.—May 2d was an eventful day to our church here. The first fruits of the. recent revival, (twenty-ftve) took upon them the vows of God. About two-thirds were heads of families, some of them prominent business men of the place. Eighteen had never received the ordinance of baptism, among them some who had numbered their three-score years and ten. Ironton, o.—Our church on Sabbath, May 2d, received to its communion thirty-five persons on profession ; two by profession were previously received. This is the result of a series, of meet ings conducted by Dr. Pratt, of Portsmouth, who spent three weeks here. Huntington, o.—This church, besides the celebration of the Week of Prayer, held a series of union meetings and of special services in co operation with the Methodists. Special attention was paid to the children of the Sabbath school. As a result, sixty-four have been added to the church, nearly all on profession. Sixty-six hope ful conversions are recorded in the Sabbath school, including both the superintendents. Peoria, lit —This church, of which Rev. H. C. Hovey recently became pastor, has just received twenty-one persons to membership, the first fruits of a revival. Dr.DufTteld of Galesburg rendered timely aid. Fulton, Ill.—The 0. and N. S. churches of this place united a year ago, under the pastorate of Rev. Henry Keigwin, and voted to remain in our connection. On the 11th of April ninety six were admitted to membership, all but ten on profession, and fifty-four by baptism. Fifty are heads of families and forty-six are young men and maidens. This raised the membership from 80 to 176. Gils•oy, Cal.—This church received fifteen new members to communion April 4th, nine on pro fession. Twenty-five hundred dollars have been subscribed for a new house of. worship. Chnrchfs. Brooklyn.—The First , church. .

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1869. .11;1fivd Church, Del., has received 32 by pro fession and 14 by letter since last September, when Mr. Mallery took charge. Two of the young men converted last winter have made up their minds to prepare for the ministry. The ladies by a festival paid off debts in all nearly 8400. On the 12th the people celebrated the tenth anniversary of Mr. :gallery's wedding by taking possession of the house and filling it with gifts of the most appropriate and substantial character; not merely tin, wood, willow, glass and iron ware of all sorts, but s.lver ware, pro vision, clothing, a quilt made by the oldest mem ber of the congregation, something for the pocket, called " Tin " by accommodation, and presents for the children. The recipient assures his people that he cherishes very tender feeling for them, which are shared by his wife and children. The Second chierch of Elmira, and that at ilavana, are still without pastors. Tyrone and Sugar kill chnrches'are in the same condition, or will be at the end of April—the Rev. Mr. Russell removing to Andover, N. Y. The West Church of Wilmington, Del., have unanimously Called Rev. Geo. H. Smyth of Washington, D. C., to be their pastor. ' The Rev.

Y., and a oTaduate of Hamilton and' Auburn. 'He went toCalifornia around Cape Horn in 1851-2, to become pastor of our church in San Jose, and afterwards removed to our church in Marysville. After a visit to the East he became Editor of The Pacific in 1856, and for a time 'supplied the pulpit of the First Congregatiohal church in San Francisco. 'Presbyteries.

Keokuk Presbytery adopts the Basis of the As semblies, expressing a preference for a " reunion upon the simple Standards of the Presbyterian Church, as held in common before the disruption." Chariton Presbytery reaffirmed its former con• victions that a union of these branches should be consummated, if not on the Basis of the Joint- Committee, then on the "standards pure and simple," or on any scriptural, equal, and honora ble terms; and so we instruct our commissioners to give their influence in this matter at the next meeting of our Gener4l Assembly.

The dyspeptic millionaire who has tried all portions of the medical profession in vain, and believes his complaint to he incurable. would give half his fortune to be fre..d from the horrors of indi gestion. and thus enabled to enjoy the other half. Of course he would. Perhaps HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has been recom mended to such a sufferer. Possibly he has turned from the friend who made the suggestion with a sneer, intimating that he has no faith in any "patent medicine" If this has been the case, so much the worse for him. His incredulity dooms him to a li'e of misery. All the luxuries which wealth can purchase are at hie command. Not one of them can give him pleasure. Hie own irrational ob stinacy is his bane. The masses, happily for , themselves, are less skeptical. There is such a thing as bigoCed unbelief, as well as bigoted credulity, and a golden mean beeween the two, which men and women who are gifted with common sense adopt and profit by. These are the class - that patronize , and recommend lIUSTETTER'S BITTERS. Why do they approve this famous anti-dyspeptic and anti-billious preparation? Simply because they have not been too much the slaves of senseless preindlce to give it a fair trial, and have Mond that when all other tonics, stimulants and stomachica failed it produced the deal ed effect. . "Strike, but hear," said the Roman' sage, when his Ignorant enemies were assailing him. "Doubt, but try," says the man who has been cured of indigestion, or biliousness, or intermittent fever, by the Bitters, as he relates his experience of the medicine to his invalid friends. Whoever is so wedded to his own foregone theo retical conclusions, as to decline to test the properties of a medi cine endorsed by the testimony of intelligent men in every walk of life, and approved by the people at large, descries to suffer.

We answer The Waltham Watches have stood the test of time, Waltham is the original seat of American watch-making The idea of making oar own watches, and making each pi .-ce of machinery specially adapted thereto, so that a piece lost or broken may sorely be replaced by a similar piece from any other watch of its class, or ono ordered f,om the manufactory on purpose, originated here; and here it has been carried to perfection. Every year since the start has Witnessed improvements in machinery, pro- cams, and workmanship, until watches are now made at Waltham as cheaply and excellently as anywhere on earth, as the vast and ever-widening demand for theta abundantly proves The success of the American Watch has incited sere- ral attempts at rivalry, which we are nowise inclined to disparage. All of these are hopeful, and will doubtless improve with experience and the lapse of time. MA buyers must feel greater confidence in the time-keeping of a watch from this pioneer concern, than in one mac. ufActured by any of its young rivals. If any do not, we urge them to inquire of their friends who have bought and carried the American Watch. Every purchaser may have a guarutee, if he will, that hie watch will give en- So constant and signal have been the improvements in machinery at the Waltham manufactory, that the Com- puny have not only been enabled to make better and better Watches, but they now sell them for fewer dol:irs in greenbacks than they coat in gold before the war. Ent they wish no one to buy their Watches because of their cheasness. They commend them as better time- keepers than any other which are or can be sold at prices so moderate. They a-k purchasers not to be persuaded by importunate defame, who may be governed by coneid- erations of profit into buying watches of doubtful accu racy, when, by buying a Waltham, they may be sure of getting a first-rata time keeper at a moderate price.
