Gallagher, D.D., pastor of the church at llillsdale, Mich., is dead. He was a son of the celebrated evangelist, Rev. James Gallagher, and was an un usually able preacher and a popular and successful pastor. —Rev. G. D. Parker has removed front Edinburg, Ind , and become acting pastor of the Upper ,Indiana Church (0. 5.,) four miles north.east •of Vin cennes. —Rev. R. A. Sawyer, of Dayton, is spending six weeks of midsummer, with his family, on Long Island Sound, at Branford, New Haven Co., Conn., and will supply the pulpit of Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs in Brooklyn, N. Y., preaching there to the three churches on the _Heights united. —Rev. Chas. A. Baldwin (who has accepted a call from the church of John son, N. Y.,) was on Thursday week, at a reception given by the ladies of the Se cond church of Peekskill, at the resi dence of Wm. Amos, Esq., presented with a gold watch valued at $2OO, and a $lOO bill enclosed therein. —Rev. Dr. Poor, of Newark, N. J., icepted by telegraph the call to the has accepteu 4grapL me can First Presbyterian church of Oakland, and, we presume, will soon be at work in his new field. Dr. Poor has been a suc cessful pastor; he is a strong man, and will be an important accession to the ministerial ranks on this coast.—The Pacific. . Churches. —The new house of wership erected by the church of Gibson, Pa., was dedi cated to the worship of God on the 7th of July. The building is commodious and pleasant, an ornament to the town, and a credit to those who have labored hard to ,erect it. It is carpeted and cushioned, and furnished with a fine toned Meneely bell, and free of all debt. A Quincy, 111., correspondent of The _Herald writes : " Two weeks ago last Sabbath the Presbyterian church at Reading, to which Rev. G. B. Barnes ministers, received five more on profes sion of their faith, making forty-two as the fruits of the revival in that village." Ile adds that among those whose minds were troubled on the mode of baptism, the pastor circulated the admirable work of our beloved Bro. Dimmick, of Omaha, entitled "Anna Clayton," with most hap py effect. —Rev. D. M. Moore writes of his new field in Lawrence, Ks.: "I am very much pleased with this city and country. Our church is prospering. We had seven additions to the church last Sabbath by certificate. We expect that our church and the 0. S. will unite after the meet ing of the General Assemblies in the• fall. I have been called to the pastorate of this church, but will not accept until the union matter is decided, I now think." —The temporary house of worship of Green Point, N. Y., church is completed, and was opened on Sunday last, July 18th. —The new sanctuary of the church at Gilroy, Cal., (Rev. Mr. McLaughlin pas tor,) has been enclosed and the lathing finished this week. The contract with out the pews and interior finish will be about $5,000, of which, about $3,000 has boen subscribed. The great im portance and steady growth of this field justifies the noble effort being made; and entitles this devoted congregation and pastor to the material sympathy of the Church.—The Occident. IN MEMORIAM. Died, in Philadelphia, June 25th, 3lra. Elizabeth C. K. Latimer, widow of John R. Latimer, late of Wilmington, Delaware. To how many ministers of our church scattered through the length and breadth of our land, will this recallthe hospita ble mansion, the genial pleasant home so long presided over by her, who has now passed to purer climes and rejoined loved ones gone before. Especially will the delegates to our Assembly, when it met in Wilmington a few years since, remember the hours spent so delightfully in the society of the generous couple, who, having been the main spring and pillars of the Central church enterprize, the chief supporters of all its schemes of benevo lence, gave all their energies to make this meeting the social success, which it Wealthy and liberal, no worthy cause ever pled in vain at their hands— whilst so'quiet and unostentatious was their charity that few knew its extent. Nor was Mrs. Latimer's usefulness lessened when, after her `husband's death, four years and. a half ago, she returned to her 'early home in Philadelphia and to the old seat in the First church, with which she had always re tained her connection.' Greatly will the missionary boxes of that church miss her liberal hanl—and many a western winister'ii home could testify to the comforts procured through her means. As a manager of the Widow's Asylum, Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1869. Old Man's Home, and as a contributor to many similar objects, her activity and interest were unflagging so long as health permitted. For many months past she has been a patient sufferer—now, released from pain, she has gone to be with the Mas ter whom she so long had served. Affectionate, frank, and earnest in all her friendships, her loss will long be mourned, whilst many in the great day will rise up to call her blessed. COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. HARVARD COLLEGE.—The Class Day was observed with no unusual features. At the " spreads" afterwards the friends of the students ware entertained on a scale indicated by one item-2,000 boxes of strawberries. There was less rude ness than usual in some of the scenes which followed. The ivy was planted [which, of course, will die, as all ivy planted in our American midsummer must.] The dancing began at four o'clock. In the evening Dr. Peabody gave the usual reception as acting President. Com mencement Day opened, June 29th, with the meeting of the 0. B. K. Society. Prof. Lowell was elected President. The procession formed in Gore Hall, and marched to the First church, headed by a band of music. After the speeches and conferring of degrees, the following honorary, degrees were conferred`: LL.D. —Wm. Claflin, Governor of the State; John Gorham Palfrey of Cambridge. A.M.--John Knowles Paine of Camb ridge, Algernon Coolidge of Boston. The alumni dinner began at two P. M. Dr. Peabody said that the Faculty had allowed the students to govern them selves, and said that never when he had apprehended trouble or disturbance had he appealed to the students themselves without that appeal being triumphantly successful. The best speech was made by Mr. Jos. H. Choate, of New York, who said that of the 6,000 alumni, not one approved of banishment of the classics from education. Prof. Lowell read a humorous poem in which the fol lowing allusions to the Ex-Minister to England occur : "Yet how repress a patriotic thrill ? R. J. half squared our Alabama bill. Yes, if John Bull is sometimes hard to bear, I 'rather calkl'ate we hed him there.' Thoughtless he cried, 'Speak, spiak, thou fearful guest,' Raro deseruit—you recall the rest; Johnson the first with words two folios &lied, Which at one awash his mightier namesake spilled. Like Samson, with one jaw of scriptural sort, He made Matt. Arnold's Philistines his sport. Not the broad ocean hindered limping fate, And all their dinners he made desolate. Ah, let us own, before such facts as these, There are set-offs in moral damages. "But I have wandered to volcanic ground, Where the hot soil heaves with an ominous sound. Thou jesting piper, get thee somewhere else ! Here is no place to shake your cap and bells. Down, awful shape of that unholy strife, That desperate wrestle on the sea for life. Woe worth the hour of madness that devotes Freedom's twin champions to each other's throats. 0 matrix pulchrte, filia pulchrior, Pout if you will, but sulk not into war ! Had Adams stayed, this danger had not been. This less than kindness of two more;than kin, He never wandered in .the flowery way That tempts to say the most where least's to say. . -- No word misspent, no reasoning out of joint, Justus et tenor, grappling to his point. Large of discourse, where wisdom might be large, Penurious where loose speech might harm his charge. , He served and suffered, but he won at last ; Praised by the brawny athletes he had cast. Third of his stalwart race, to him is due. No smaller debt than to the other two; Behold, they brighten from the canvas dim To feel their praise renewed in praise of him." City fiat-tilt. —The new church building belonging to the First church of old Northern Lib erties, being erected at the northeast corner of Franklin and Thompson sts., is progressing rapidly, a portion of the stone work of the sides and front of the building having been laid. This building will also be under roof, it is ex pected, by cold weather. The congregation now worship in their old building on Coates street, below Fourth, and will continue to do so until the completion of the new building ) after Which the old structure will be occupied by a German congregation who • have purchased it. -" Philadelphia is to have a bigger Musical Jubilee than Boston has had. It is proposed to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the signing of the Decla ration of Independence, on the• Fourth of July, 1876, by a gigantic musical fes tival, in a building especially erected in Fairmount Park, capable of accommo dating 100,000 spectators and 12,000 performers. Success to it" So a New York exchange says, but very little more is known of the matter here, than that two Germans (little known to our people) propose to have one and that an irresponsible daily says, "Amen." We'toilt have a big celebra tion in 1876, but we ire not so slow that we need seven years to get ready. —The entire tract known five years ago as Camac's Woods, Philadelphia, is now almost covered with brick dwell- ings. When the war began, the place was a camp ground for Colonel Stanton's regiment. The mansion house was after ward a hospital for invalid officers. The year before the war an mronaut rented the site as a place for sending up, three thousand feet into the air, an anchored balloon. All this is now done away with. Camac's Woods are woods no more. it* —The new synagogue of the congre gation, " Nevoh Shamuel," was insti tuted on Saturday morning, in Second street, above Callowhill. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Gutman. At present the congregation will worship in the upper story of the building, No. 459 North Second street. —Extensive improvements are con templated in the Sixth church (0. S.), Spruce street, below Sixth. The con gregation has for a number of years been under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Har baugh The church is one of the oldest in the city, the pulpit having been suc cessively occupied previous to the pres ent pastor by Rev. Dr. Alexander, Rev. Dr. Neill, Rev'. Sohn Kennedy, Rev. Samuel G. Winchester, Rev. Dr.'Joseph H. Jones. - —The new building of the Mercantile Library Company, in Tenth street (for merly used as a market house), has a front of 80 feet and a depth of 301, feet, giving a surface of 24,080. The main library room is 75' by 117 feet, with, an area of 9,000 square ,feet. There are, two large reading-rooms, one, for the use of ladies, and the other for gentle men, just in the rear of this chief room —not separated from it by partitions, however, but by simple iron railings, the partition stretching away between them. Each of them is 37 by 70 feet. Matting is on their floors, and they are amply provided with chairs and reading'desks. Upon the second floor are located the Chess and Newspaper rooms, the former being 31 by 65 feet in size, the latter 68 by 71 feet. A skylight tops them. The first floor also contains toilet rooms, 8 by 14 feet; a ladies' parlor, 13 by 34 feet; a writing and business room; a gentle men's - conversation room; a work room, 17 by 31 feet ; a committee room, 11 by 21 feet; a Board room, 19 by 31 feet, and a lecture room, 31 by 60 feet. The vestibule and various halls are wide and noble. At either angle of the building upon the Tenth street Front, is placed a dwelling, one to serve as a residence fOr the Librarian, the other for the Janitor. In the centre of the main library room the desk for changing books is stationed, oval in form, , large and convenient. From this the cases for holding the books radiate. ,A window of stained glass pierces the rear wall. Ventilation is abundant. The Library new contains nearly 52,000 volumes, and during 1868, the number of volumes loaned was 135,018. The membership last year (the fifty-seventh since organization) numbered 6,377. The total receipts of the Library amounted to $26,896. —The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new synagogue, intended for the German Hebrew congregation, ",Ro de Scholem," took place as announced, at the Southeast corner of Broad, and Mourit Vernon streets. The proceedings were commenced by tile choir singing a hymn, at the close of which, the invoca _ don was made by. Rev., G. ,Jacobs. A sermon in English was then delivered by Rev. Dr, M. Jastow, and a discourtie was ,also delivered. in ; Ger - man by Rev. D. S. Hirsh. The corner-stone was then laid, at the northeast corner of the foundation, by the Preident of the con gregation Joseph Einstein. It contained among other things, a copyof the Holy Bible, translated by the lateßev. Isaac Leeser, and a volume of ..The Occident. The structure will be of apost sub stantial character. The footings of ,the walls will be eight inches wider than the walls to be built upon them.. The, area of the tower to be of concrete to the depth of two feet. The walls of the tower will be disconnected with the other walls of the building. The style is Saracenic. The cellar and internal walls, the backing and plain external facinc , b will be of our best quality , Trenton brown stone. The shafts for the entrance porch, shafts for the three large windows and window in the front gable to be of the red Aberdeen granite, highly polished. The alternate door arch stones are to be the red Seneca sandstone. The rear and south, elevations of the building will be of hammered dressed masonry. The . arch over the recess for the shrine and organ gallery, and recess for the fruit vestibule, will be of stone. The carpenter, work will be of the most sub stantial charcter and finish. The building is to be finished by the lst of August, 1870, and will cost about $150,0007 THE OHENEY TRIAL. The trial of Rev. Mr. Cheney of Chi cago for omitting the word "regenerate" in the use of the Baptismal Service, open ed with the presentation of a . series of technical exceptions to the jthisdiction, &c., of the Court, on the part of the de fendant's counsel. The Court adjourned for a day, hold ing these in advisement, and iv'ben it as sembled again the President announced that they had been over-ruled. Mr. Fulton, one of Mr. Cheney's coun sel, then arose and said, we have up to *this time piesented.sitch objections as we had •to the jurisdiction, and to the 'vari ous papers that have been• laid .before you, and to the court of which you are the presiding officer, until we have reach ed a point at which we shall go no fur- ther. I have applied to the Superior Court of Chicago for an injunction, which has been granted, against all fur ther proceedings in the case. We have determined that if our client was smit ten, it shall not be contrary to the law, and we have been compelled to pursue this course. The sheriff of Cook county who is present will please report the gen tlemen whom he will find named in the writ. The sheriff then proceeded to serve the writs, in due form, his entrance being greeted with loud and continued applause by the audience, thus giving unmistak able evidence of the sympathies of a large majority. As soon as he could be heard, the President demanded order, and said if such demonstrations should again occur he would order the house . to be cleared. The court then retired for consultation, and on returning, announc ed an adjournment until 2 P. M. next day. A later telegram announces that Bish op Whitehouse has postponed the trial.

What's the use of advertising a plaee so well known to the entire community as is the great Clothing House of Wana maker & Brown ? This is a question often asked and the editor of this paper, as it is a question which intimately con cerns him, answers Ist. There are still a FEW people who are not yet customers at Oak Hall and Oak Hall itufter them, 2d. — Ma — Mal. s the people know of the " Largest Clothing House," there are improvements constantly being made and new features ever being introduced, with which they must be mae acquainted. 3d. The proprietors like, above all things, to gratify, the people, and they know that next to buying new clothes at Oak Hall, the people like to read about it and its ever increasing suhcess and popularity.
