—Of the n inety-five churches in the
Synod of Penna., twenty-three have con=
tributed to all the causes of the church.;
a larger number than in' any other Sy
nod.
A Pleasant Surprise.—During the
month of August, in which, the pastor of
the Olivet Presbyterian church of Wil
mington (Rev. A. J. Snyder) and his
family were spending their vacation
awa y from home, the congregation and
its friends very ingeniously managed to
g et into their house, and removed the
old carpet from the parlor floor and put
down a new and beautiful one in its
'lace. A first-class silver plate was put
upon the door, with the pastor's name in,-
scribed upon it. Also a beautiful quilt
was found on the sofa for Mrs. Snyder . ;
as a token of friendship, besides othor
valuable testimonials' of appreciation be
stowed upon the family. .
'When the family returned to their
home, a few days ago, theT diScovered
these evidences of kindness by theii,peo
ple, to their utter astonishment and str
prise. They take great pleasure in ten
dering their sincere thanks to their kind
benefactors.
But the end is not yet. They also
viaited the chapel in which they wor
ship. And when the pastor came to
minister to his people, he found the pul
pit refurnished and all fitted up anew—
a new sofa, new chairs, and the pulpit
grained and varnished.
This is the work•of a liberal and ,ap
preciative people, and the pastor almost
feels as if' he were in a now home and a
new charge.
—d Union Prayer ..Ifeeting of the two
branches was held in the Fourth church,
Washington, on Sunday afternoon. :Dr.
J. C. Smith presided. The Meeting was
very largely attended. Ministers and
Elders of both branches took apart. The
exercises were interspersed with congre
gational singing from " The Social Hymn
Book."
—Rev. Dr. John a Smith preached.
his 30th anniversary sermon as pastor of
the Fourth church, Washington, on last
Sabbath. In these thirty years the
number of communicants added were
1,192; of deaths and dismitsions were
583; the total number now in commu
nion is 609. Dr. Smith also has bapttEed
677 infants and 130 adults; total, 807.
The marriages have been 607.

church, Chicago.
—Rev. Dr. Poor, says the Occident of
Aug. 28, arrived here (Oakland, , Cal.)
early last week, and entered immediately.
upon the discharge of his parochial . du
ties. His services have given great Sat
6.faction ; the quiet, unostentatious man
ner in which—like a
.true workman
he has engaged in his duties, proving
both his ability and hia diSposition'prop
erly to cultivate this . , important field.
The church on lasi Sunday, was . well at
tended, and the sermons gave great satis
faction to the large and increasing nuin
bar of the friends of this congregation.
—Lincoln, Dd.--Rev. H. J . Gaylord

will cover the cost of the buildiiig. Our
hearty good wishes go with him in his
work.
—Rev. W. R. Higgins, our mission
ary at Superior, preaches also at Duluth
7 miles away. From one or other of

practically interested. A. ,considerable
sum of money has been subscribed to
wards a church ddifice at Duluth, Jay
Cooke and his partners taking a liberal
share of the burden.
—Rev. J. A. Whitaker , at Jefferson
City, Mo., says in the Ifronthlll : Our

children in our - Sunday School last Sun

prayer. meetings are larger than they ever
have been when the legislature was not

The season just closino. ° has been the
most successful one they have ever had
at the " Largest Clothing House,"
Wanamaker & BrOwn's, and one grati
fying feature of it has been their unpar
alleled success with the country trade.
They not only succeeded in drawing
to their establishment the majority of
the out-of town customers who buy
clothes in Philadelphia, but also pleased
them well and secured most of theth for
permanent customers. They will notlet
go this hold they have now got upon
the country .people, but will every sea
son make their hone more and more
worthy of continued patronage..

As soon as an article. Purporting to be of 'utility has
been tested, audits rmrits endorsed by public opinion,
unprincipled parties endeavor to replenish their deple
ted purses lig counterfeiting, and substituting a spurt
one for the genuine articles. Some time - since, Mercu
ry, in the disguise of pills, powdeta, &c., was given for
all diseases of the stomach and liver, while TIMM°
' WWI freely' administered for the chills. At IMigth HOS-
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS made its advent, and
an entire new sysiem of healing was inaugurated. The
beneficial effects of this valuable' preparation 'were* at .
once acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered to
sink info` that Obicurity to which an enlightened age
has consigned Ahem. There have been many sptrions ,
Satan, palmed upon the community, which, after,
trial, have been found perfectly worthless, while HOS
TETTRit'S ties proved a blessing to thousands, who
owe to it their restoration to health and usetudeeis. '
For many years - we have watched the steady pro

claimed by this valuable specific, and which they'ko

favorites in our Sabbath-schools, (especially
those in Mr. Bradbury's various books) are
to be• found here, and in, addition to these, a
number wholly new, or selected froth recent
publications. The type is clear, the paper
good, and the whole book is attractive. We
offer it for sale and hope that• it will be
speedily introduced into our Sabbath-schools.
The Preface to
,C'hildren's Praise says
"'I he title of this little volume clearly ex
presses its design. We deem it necessary
only to state, in presenting it to the youth
and Sabbath Schools of the Church, that our
purpose in its compilation has been most sin
cere, to exclude from it all ; those objection
able Piedes which have_found their way into
so large a proportion of similar collections ;
and to comprise the best among the great
number of 'popular hymns and tunes,in pre
sent use in our-Sabbath Schools. In order
to, prevent an entire divorce of the singing
of our Sabbath Schools, frOm that of our
churches, we have inserted a considerable
number Of old and standard tunes and hymns
