— 'The Supreme Court of Misiouri
sitting at St. Louis,, November 22, de
cided the case of the State against
Farris, involving directly the right rof
certain parties to be directors of Lin
denwood College, at St.:Charles, but
which turned upon the question of the
validity of the famous ipso facto Order f
the Gurley paper, adopted by the dene-
ral Assembly at St. Louis in 1866. The
Court unanimously held that the action
of the General Assembly, being the
highest Church Court, is conclusive in
Civil Courts, in all ecclesiastical matters,
and expressly sustained the action of
the Assembly of 1866 and 1867, dis
solving several Synods and Presbyteries,
adhering to the so-called " Declara
tion and Testimony party," as being
within the constitutional powers of the
Assembly. The effect of the decision in
this State is to secure to the adherents
of the General Assembly, as against the
" Declaration and Testimony . party,"
the control of all the property held upon
condition of connection with the Church.
—ln the Walnut street church of
St. Louis, all expenses are defrayed by
collections taken up each Sunday. These
have varied in amount between $2OO
I and $3OO each. The treasurer of the
congregation has been accustomed to
hand the sums uncounted to a clerk in
his employ named Barnett, who was a
member of the church. The young
man would take the money home and
return it to t his employer the nest day
at the store with a. Memorandum of its
amount. It was lately suspected that
these collections were embezzled in some
way. Barnett was tested---his employer
on one occasion .secretly counting the
money before he handed• it to him. His
return the next morning was too small
by $46. After'hesitation, Barnett con
fessed to having purloined a part of
these funds for a long time, and esti
mated that he had stolen in all about
$1 000.
—ln San Francisco, the U. P. Church
numbers 212 members, of which 58
have been received since the beginning

earnest and faithful laborer in carrying
on the work so efficiently begun t y Dr.
Cooper, of our own city, and his people
are looking forward •to a new church
building early in the coming • year. In

school with 22 scholars, which has, in

ed for more than twenty years in South

Church Courts.—The Committees of
the several Synods of our Church in
0hi0,.0. S. and N. S., have agreed upon
the following scheme of' consolidation
and division
1. To give up any territory lying out
side of Ohio.
2. To make five Synods.
3. To bound them as follows :
North-eastern (Synod of Western Re
serve :)—All W estern -Reserve, with
Mahoning, Stark, and Columbiana, in
all fifteen counties.
North-western (Synod of Sandusky:)
All the country about Toledo, including
Sandusky, Seneca, Crawford, yandotte,
Hardin, Logan, Champaign, Clark, Mi
ami and Darke, in all twenty-five counties.
South-eastern (Synod of Marietta:)—
The country west and south of Steuben
ville, including Carroll, Tuscarawas,
Holmes, Coshocton, Muskingum, Mor
gan and Washington ; thirteen counties.
Southoirestern (Synod of Oincinnath)
—Athens, Vinton, Ross, Fayette, Greene,
Montgomery, Preble, and all south of
them; twenty-one counties.
Central (Synod of Ohio :)—includes
ths remaining counties, fifteen in num
ber.
4. The titles to be left to the Gen
eral Assembly, or the Synods them
selves.
This throws the Presbytery of Michi
gan 0. S. into the Synod of Michigan
N. S. and takes the Presbyteries of Steu
benville, New Lisbon, and St. Clairsville
from the Synod of IVheeling, to be a
part of an Ohio Synod. In view of the
lines of travel in Ohio, and the relative
strength and size of the 'proposed Sy
nods, this plan is about the best that
could be proposed.
