—Lake Superior P r e;bytfry met a t Escanaba, Aug. 11, Three new mem bers and a candidate for the ministry, were received, and the Presbytery, which lies been very weak, was more fully or ganized for work. The Basis of Re union was unanimously approved. —Maumee Presb,gtery met in the church of Perrysburgh, the Ist day of September, 1869. Rev. E. I. Alden, who, for some three years, had supplied the church at Fostoria, was dismissed to unite with the Puritan Conference. The report of the Commissioner to the General Assembly of his diligent at tendance upon that body was accepted, and the delegate was requested to at tend the adjourned meeting' at Pitts burgh. The four cents per member re commended by the last Assembly was, by a Committee, assessed on our, churches, —s4o, and'will be paid, though we had but one Commissioner in the Assembly at New York, and could send the same to Pittsburgh for less than $2O. Certain things recommended by the Assembly and sent down to the Presby teries, were acted upon -by our .Presby tery. As, for example : 1. That it. Shall be the duty of the Committee on Mis-• sions of this Presbytery to find,minitaters for the vacant churches ; and pulpits for the unemployed minipters,., i (l hope this Committee may succeed', in 'this duty`:) 2. Rev. William McLaren, D. D., Rev. George Adams, and Elder, Charles Coch ran were appointed .a Committee on Sys. tematic Beneficence, ,to;report progress at our next anuual meeting. It was voted to liold Said annual meet ing in the church ,of Defiance; on. the third Wednesday in April, 1860,—it be ing understood that the Maumee Presby tery (0. S.) will hold its next meeting at the same time and place.-. The free conversation on the State of Religion showed progress in all the churches though in none, of them has there been any special revival .of reli . gion. The Overture on. Re-union, to be an swered yes or no, was unamitaously, an swered in the affirmative. _ • Owing to the sickness in the country, our meeting was not Pull? , attended, but everything seems hoperu Mad growing. PERRY C. B4u,Dwm, S. C. The Presbytery of Pittsburg held a called meeting in the 3d Presbyterian church on the sixth inst. The pastoral relation existing between the Rev. W. T. Wylie and - the - Second church of New Castle,was dissolved. Our much loved .brother W. accepts an urgent call from the Presbyterian church at Bellefonte, Center Co.,—" 0. S."—l beg pardon for using these sym-, bols of the spirit of other.days. Hereafter we shall pull as a double team—hitched to the same wagon; and if these unbaptized appendages to our common name will have any meaning henceforth what shall it be—N. S.— near side, 0. S.—off side ? At any rate the question of re-union came before us, and without very much enthusiasm, and without much discus sion, and without a dissenting voice this resolution was adopted; "R,solved, That we answer the overture of the General Assembly on the subject of •Reunion in the affirmative." Rev. Henry Cooper was received into this Presbytery—without examination-- by letter from the Presbytery of Logans port, Indiana. He has been for some time supplying our churches at Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant Unity. The walls of the new clauich Birmingham are slowly - mounting up ward. At the preterit • writing they are• about forty feet high. Several of the members of Presbytery took a. car , and crossed over to see the new church, Booth . side. They expressed themselies as vey highly pleased with the appearance of things—and especially with the beauti ful, central and every.way-happy location of the new building. The Birmingham congregation now worships in !the • hall of the public-school house. The Birmingham ministers did • a thing this summer which some of us flatter ourselves is in sympathy with the "spirit of the age "—if there be such a spirit. We formed& ministerial associa tion (evangelical) of twelve ministers representing half as many denominations and—instead of striking for highe.r wages—or even striking a bee-line tbr the watering places,. or the Rocky Mountains, or Palestine, or some other " desert place to rest awhile," we adopted a "plan" for systematic street preaching in the hot season (July and August.) . We omitted evening aervioes, and at six o'clock each Sabbath afternomon five. different street corners, from Brownstown to Sligo, (Dan to Beer-Sheba) the voice of praise and prayer and preaching was heard by the' gathered and attentive thousands. The attention of Catholics,,seeptics, Universalists, indifferentists, and others —some of whom confessed that they had not • seen the inside of a church for ten years—was arrested, and it is :hoped that, at least, some good- has been done. According to the plan our labors in that direction closed with the mouth of. August. This has been our summer va. cation, and what though our , epirite are not so buoyant to-day as if we, had writ ten sophomoric correspondences from Saratogaor the •"snow capped" summit of Mt. iraehington:—but 1 beg pardon. I only meant to write a fewtlipes about the doings of the. Presbytery' of Pitts burg. Yours ever, , P. S.

Ministerial.. —A Baptist editor writes from Law renceburg, Ind., that Rev. Joshua R. Mitchell, pastor of - our church there, is " an earnest and unsectarian young min ister, and a wide-awake Sunday-school man, as every good minister of Christ ought to be.

This building will be a house„of• .wor ship for the fawilies of the, workmen in the large rollina,mill at Spuyten Duy vil. It will also be used for lectures and social entertainments.
