—The Sunday-school of Kenderton
Presbyterian church, Tioga, street near
Broad, held their twelfth anniversary
on Thursday evening, July Bth. Rev.
Samuel W. Duffield, the pastor, had
charge of the exercises, and addresses
were made by George 11: Stuart and
Rev. John W. Dulles. The platform was
covered with flowers, and the children
built two designs with wreaths and bou
quets. One was a circle with wreaths
for " the Fruits of the Spirit," and the
other was a cross built of bouquets above
it. The entire celebration --- singing,
recitations, and floral offerings—was a'
great success, as great as any doing this
season according to the judgment of
good critics. We are glad to see that
the life of this flourishing . churo 4. so

—A church has been recently formed
in Auburn, Shawnee county, Kan., con
sisting of thirty-five members—owning
one half of a house of worship which will
seat three hundred persons. The church
is located in the midst of a rich, exten
sive and rapidly developing 'farming
country. The people of the town and
country are intelligent, and mostly East
ern people. They wish a minister to
preach in Auburn one half the time,
and the other half in the field around
about.
—By the removal of Rev.. John
Jay Crane to Hastings on-Hudson, the
church at Rose, N. Y., is vacant and in
want of a minister. This church is
small in numbers and not wealthy in
this world's goods., But the edifice is
clear of debt, and the society own a par
sonage near the church.
—The church at Evansville, in Jeffer
son county, N. Y., though once one of
the strongest in Watertown Presbytery,
has of late years been declining,-.and its
house of worship falling into decay. The
older members initiated a movement to
build a new one, which has been com
pleted free of debt, at a cost of $7,600,
with a grant of $5OO from the Church
Erection CoMmittee. It is in English
style, with open-work roof, frescoed
walls, spire and; chapel, and occupies a
conspicuous site. It was dedicated June
24th.

—The Presbytery of St. Louis met
July 3d. The overture on Reunion was
answered in the affirmative by a unani
mous vote. The Presbytery had under
consideration plans of Church extension
in that metropolis, which indicate vigor,
energy and hopefulness, and give excel-.
lent promise. The chief business of the
meeting related to the installation of
Messrs. Dickey & Marshall, over the
First and the High street churches,
which took place July 4th.
—The. Presbytery q Niagara lately
held an interesting meeting at Wilson,
N Y., on the shore of lake Ontario.
Rev. W. G. Hubbard was welcomed
back to Presbytery after two years' la
bor in Schoolcraft, Mich. He is called
to the bishopric at Melville. Rev.
Samuel F. Bacon comes to us from the
Presbytery of Cortland, commended as
a brother beloied, to take charge of the
flock at Albion, lately rendered shep
herdless by the ill health and consequent
resignation of Rev. L. T. Adams.
The church of Porter calls Rev. Ed
sin Hall, Jr., son of Prof. Hall, of Au
burh Seminary, to its pastorate. If
Presbytery finds no reason to forbid
the bans, our dear batchelor brother will,
D. V., be wed to this church on Wednes
day next
Presbytery answered the overture of
General Assembly upon Presbyterian
Reunion by a unanimous and categori
cal, Aye !
Almost all the Churches reported
cheering progress in spiritual things.
The revival in Lockport in connection
with the labors of our beloved Brother
Hammond, was the most precious and
powerful of any experienced here for
twentylve years. About one thousand
persons were converted in Lockport 'and
adjacent places through its influence.
There was " not room enough to re
ceive" the blessing in Lockport, and it
overflowed in streams of salvation' all
around. Ten thousand ..friends here
commend Brother H. to the confidence
and affection of all true Christians:
Ten thousand hearts breathe out the
prayer, God bless Brother Hammond
wherever he goes .to work for God and
the salvation of souls !
Rev. E. P. Marvin was appointed a
Committee for the supply 'of vacant
churches. This is no small task in a
Presbytery aka cat boast of but two
pastors, andln which the average term
of ministerial service is only'about'three
years. We must ask Scotland how.--to
settle men in the ministry. The Gene..
ral Assembly's day of prayer concerning
Reunion was appointed to be observed
in the churches. An interesting discus
sion was held upon the question, " How
can the Christian activities of the entire
membership of any particular church
be best organized and developed ?"
Partly trough the influence of that
earnest and indefatigable brother, Rev.
S. G. Clark of Missouri, Presbytery
took the following action :
WHEREAS, this Presbytery feels the
deepest interest in the cause-of church
erection, and whereas we desire that the
funds collected, be as far as possible, ex
pended for the purpose for which they
are given, without a large outlay for col
lecting the same, therefore :
1. Resolved, That we ' the pastors of
this Presbytery will take collections for
this purpose without. a visit•from an
agent or secretary of our Church Erec
tion Committee. • • •
2. Resolved, that the churches of this
Presbytery be requested to raise $5OO
this year, to build a church in south
west Missouri.
Rev. S. W. Bacon was. chosen Presby . -
terial Comtnittee on Church Erection,
and Rev. J. 0. Fillmore on Publication.
STATED CLERK.
—Des Moines Presbytery, lowalL—
You had occasion early in the year to
record our affliction, in our removal. by .
death, of two of the beloved father's of
this Presbytery. At our last meeting in
the Central church in this city, which
closed last evening, God graciously gave
us two new members in the place of
Bird and Ewing, whom He had taken'
to Himself. Mr. Edward Bayliss, a
young man from England, who having
been licensed by this 'Presbytery, has,
for several months, laboied as a proba
tioner at De Soto, and Mr. Hiram H.
Kellogg, Jr., a graduate of Hamilton
College and Auburn Theological Semi
nery, who was licensed by the Presby
tery of Cayuga more that a year since,
and has been acceptably preaching in
several of our 'churches, were both or
dained last evening to the work of the
gospel ministry:
The sermon was preached and the
constitutional questions proposed by the
Moderator, Rev. H. H. Kellogg. The
ordaining prayer was offered by Rev. T.
0. Rice, pastor of the Central church;
and the charge was given by Rev.
Wm. Campbell, our District Secretary
for Home Missions. The occasion was
one of great , interest; and was evidently
appreciated by a large audience, who, it
is hoped, will accompany these, our sons
in the ministry, with their prayers,
while they so forth to
_their labors in
the i field to which they have been ap
pointed by our Home Missionary Com
mittee. Mr. Bayliss continues at De
Soto, and other points on the line of the
C. R. I. and P. R. R., and Mr. Kellogg
occpies Minburn and Perry, on the line
of the Des Moines Valley railroad,
northwest of this city. H. H. K.

—The 0. S. Board of Publication at
their recent meeting in this city were
somewhat agitated over the action of the
Assembly giving away $5 000 of their
capital to conduct the law suit of the
Kentucky congregations before the U. S.
Supreme Court. Some members denied
the right of the Assembly to make such
a grant; others and a large majority ad
mitted the right, but considered it inju
dicious and inexpedient, and calculated
to embarrass the work of the Board.
Strong sympathy was expressed for the
Church in Kentucky and the difficulties
through which it was passing; but the
legitimacy of the plan for relief through
the toard of Publication was doubted.
It was settled pleasantly at last by direct.
ing the Treasurer to honor the &rifts,
but under a protest, considering it more
in the, light of a loan to be repaid, than
as a gratuity.
= The IL P. Presbyteiy Qf Philadel
phi& had a meeting since their Asieinbly
adjourned, the report of 'which in The
Christian Instructor gives a 'very feeble
idea of its true character. The action of
the Assembly in regard to Secret'Socie
ties was discussed none the lesi warmly
that the, members of Pfesbytery Were, in
the main, of one mind in condemning it
as unwisely and disastrously rigid in its
construction of the Standards. Some de
clared that they would peithei• obey nor
disobey 4,, they would leave the Church ;
others that their sessions- were unani
mous against enforcing the rule as thus
interpreted. Even the editor of The In
structor made a speech against it. At last,
the most rigid man in Presbytery and
probably the most rigid also in the de
nomination, to secure peace and quiet,
moved the following paper, which was
adopted :
WHEREAS, The action of the late As
sembly in regard' to the XV. Article of
the Testimony has limited to some extent
the application . of that Article ; and,
Whereas, It is believed by some that the
Assembly should not have taken such
action, without overturing it to the Pres
byteries; and, Whereas, It is believed
that it would tend to the peace of the
church, and to the force of her Testi
m6ny, if the XV. Article were Overtured ;
therefore, Resolved, That the Presbytery
memorialize the - General Assembly to
send down in overture the question, Shall
the XV. Article of the Testimony, as a
term of communion;be-repealed7
At the same meeting sessions were
required to report whether any of the
members under their earqare engaged in
the liquor traffic. All reported that they
had carried out the law of the Church.
The congregations were recommended to
take the necessary steps for the abolition
of the pew rent system.
—On Monday week, the conductor of
a city passenger car on the Union line,
was convicted of cruelty to animals, in
overloading his car, and was fined $25
and costs. The,time specified was Sun
day, June 6th, and it was in evidence
that he had on board, over sixty passen
gers, excluding children. The route is,
part of the way, up hill, and at one point
some of the passengers had to get off and
help the horses, by' pushing the car. Af
ter sentence, the conductor inquired of
Judge Pierce what he was to do, and
said he could not keep the people off the
cars., The Judge said, in reply, that
whenever he had a full load—and ,what
that was, he would like the railway com
panies to determine among themselves—
he could, and must, refuse to take any
more passengers.
—A number of temperance men, in this
city, have issued a call for a convention,
to be held on the 4th of August, at Con
cert Hall, to form a party in favor of
prohibiting, by law, the sale of intoxicat
ing drinks.
—The Court for the trial of policemen
having been engaged for a week in in
vestigating the complaints against mem
bers of the;force, have recommended ,the
discharge of three of them—one for in-
Subordination, another for arresting a
citizen without cause, and the third for
drunkenness. A policeman was docked
one week's pay for insubordination; one
was docked ten days' pay for sleeping at
his post, and another was docked five
days' pay for a similar cause.
—The cornerstone of the synagogue
for the German Hebrew congregation,
" Rodef Sholem," was to be laid at the
Southeast corner of Broad and Mt. Ver
non Streets, on July 20th. The build.
jug will be in the Saracenic style of arch
itecture, with a front of 83 feet on Broad
Street and a depth of 164 feet. Thdre
will be a tower on the corner of Mt. Ver
non Street, 26 feet square and 125 feet
high. The audience room will be 100 by
69 feet, exclusive of the organ gallery,
and it is estimated will seat one thousand
persons. Trenton brown and sand-stone

building, the cost of which will be about
$150,000.

Quite a number were heads of families.
As forty-six have been received since

prospering in temporal matters.

their families; why should you reject it? Let not your

of your health. If you are sick, and require a medicine,
try these Bitters.

THE GREAT MEDICINE OF THE WORLD.
Perry Davis & "Pain Biller," may most justly
be styled the groat Medicine of the ••world, fur there is
no region of the globe into which it has not found its
way, and none where it has not long been largely used
and highly prized. Moreover, there is no clime to
which it has not proved to be well adapted for the cure
of a Considerable variety of disbasea ; it is a speedy and
safe remedy for. Miens, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds
and various other injuries, as well as for dysentery,
diarrhcea and bowel complaints generally, it is admi
rably suited for every race of men on the face of the
It is a very significant fact, that notwithstanding the
long period of years that the "Pain Killer" has been
before the world, it has never lost one whit of its pop
ularity or shown the least sign of becoming unpopular ;
but on the contrary, the call for it has steadily in
creased from its first discovery by that excellent. and
lfoinired man, Perry DaVith and at no previous time has
the &mend for it been so great, or the quantity made
been eu large, as it is this day.
Another significant fact is, that no where has the
Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or been more
generally used by families, and individuals, than it has
been here at home where it was first discovered and in.
trodaced, and where its proprietors, illemrs. Perry
Davis & Son, have ever been held in high esteem. That
the 'Pain Killer will continue to be, what we have
styled it, the great medicine of the world, Mere cannot
be the shadow of a doubt.

A CARD.
A record of the watches produced at ti , e, Waltham
Manufactory may be not improperly prefaced with a
brief mention of the considerations which induce us to
press them upon the attention of intelligent watch
buyers.
Fifteen years' successful experienee justifies ns in
claiming for the Waltham Watches peculiarities of ex
cellence Which place them above all ford n rivalry.
The system which govern! their construction is their
most Oiritme source of merit. The substitution of ma
chinery for hand labor has been followed not only by
greater simplicity, but by a precision in detail, and ac
curacy and uniformity in their time-keeping qualities,
which by the old methods of manufacture are unat
tainable.
The application of machinery to watch-making hag,
in fact, wrought a revoluti n in the maim features of
the businees. In coninuction with enlarged power of
production, it has enabled us to secure the smoothness
and certainty of movement which proceed from the
perfect adaptation of every piece to Its place. Instead
of a feeble, eluggieh, variable action, the balance, even
under the pressure of the lightest main-spring, vibrates
with a wide and free motion. The several grades of
watches have more than a general resemblance each to
its pattern ; they are perfect in their uniformity, and
may be bought and sold with entire confidence as to
the qualities We assign to them.
These general claims to superiority are no longer
contested. An Noglieh watchmaker, in a recent lecture
before the aerological Institute of London, describing
the result of two months' close observation at the va
rious manufactories in the United States, remarks in
reference to Waltham: "On leaving the factory, I felt
that the manufacture of watches on the old plan was
gone." Other foreign makers, some of them eminent,
have publicly borne the same testimony. They admit
that the results aimed at in Europe by slow and co- tly
processes are here realized with greater certainty, with
an almost absolute uniformity, end at a cost which
more than compensate(' for the difference between
manual labor in the Old World and the New.
But we assert for the Waltham Watches more than
a getter I superiority. Their advantages, in respect of
quality and price, over English and Swiss watches, are
not more marked than are their advantages over the
pr.-ducts of other American manufactories. These are
p eitive in their character, and are the natural conse
quences of the precedence we acquired in the trade, and
.the proportions to which our manufactory has attained.
No industrial law is better established than that which
cheapens the coat of an article in proportion to the mag
nitude of its prodacdon. The exteat of our establish
ment—the combination of skilled labor on an extensive
scale, with machinery perfect and ample—enable ns to
offer watches at lower rates than those of any other
manufactorer. The aggregate of proat is the end s apt
in view—not the profit on any single watch. An f, ar 'L
ing on this principle, with reduced cost of pro tuction
and an ever- widening demand, our wakes are offered
at prices considerably below the watches of other Amer
scan makers, comparing quality with quality. Our an
neal manufacture is double that of all other makers in
this country combined, and much larger than the en
tire manufacture of England.
The conditions which makes this cheapness pos,ible
are also favorable to the excellence of our work. Onr
artisans long ago ceased to be novices. Time and eff.,rt
nuder a superintendence which combines the subtleties
of science with the strength of practical skill, have pro
duced a body of artisans whose efficiency is for the time
pre-eminent. We have the best workers in every de-
Partment that are available—workers whose expertners
and experience would be alone sufficient to secnre for
Waltham its high position. Among other tributary
causes, may be stated the readiness with which each
succeeding invention and improvement has been teste , ,
and if approved, adopted. We are always ready to ex
amine whatever experience, or art, or skill may suggest,
but we adopt nothing until experiments hive demon.
stratedits excellence. In pursuance of this rule, we
have brought to' eur aid all the mechanical improve
ments and valuable inventions of the last fifteen years,
whether home or foreign in their origin. We have thus
acquired the exclusive possession of the best and most
valuable improvements now known in connection with
watch-making, and secured for the Waltham factory a
force and completeness not shared by any similar es
tablishments in the world.
These constant efforts to perfect In all ways, and by
all means, both the machinery of the factory and the
construction of our watches, have placed within our
means the production of a greater variety in grade and
finish than other American makers have attempted In
the manufacture of very fine watches we have no corn
petitor lathe United States and only very few in Eu
rope.
The various styles of these watches have undt rgoue
the severest trials in the service of Railway Eugineers,
Conductors arid Expressmen, the moat exacting class of
watch wearers, and the presence of over 400,000 Wal
tham Watches in the pockets of the people is the brat
proof of the public approval, and must be accepted as
conclusive of their superiority by discriminatiog Watch
buyers, especially so since the important matter of
price is also very greatly In favor, being at least twent, -
five per cent, cheaper, quality for quality, than those
made elsewhere in the United States.
An illustrated deicription of the Watches made by
the American Watch' Company of Waltham, will be
sent to any'address oa application.
In - addition to a descripthin of the watches, the
pamphlet centains much other useful intormation to
watch-buyera.
