The Rev. John D. Matthews, D. D., has re ceived a unanimous call to the Portland Avenue Presbyterian Church, Louisville, Ky., which h is iecn vacant since the removal of the Kcv. P. II. Mbointson. It is believed that he will accept the call, and enter upon his pastoral duties at an early day. A new church has been organized at Stan ton's depot, Tennessee, called Stanton, witQ twenty members, three ruling elders, and two ilcacons. A church composed of colored people has teen organized at Portcrsville, Tenn., by the Rev. A. M.

Dr. Backus, of the Baptist Home Mission Society, has gone to San Francisco to purchase the First Baptist Church for the Chiucsc Mis sion. The full term of the University of Roches ter opens under unusually favorable circum stances. The Rev. A. J. Sage, recently of Brooklyn, assumes the vacant chair of Latin; -o that the ranks of the Faculty are now fuP. About fifty students presented themselves for admission. The Theological Seminary, too, is prospering. Dr. Ilackett Is on the ground, and taking vigorous hold of his work. About twenty additions have been made to the students in the regular department, while seven have been added to the German department The Baptist statistics for the State of Geor gia are: 1"18 churches, 7(H) ordained ministers l'.4 licentiates, and 115 198 members, of whom ot),070 are colored. The number of baptisms during the year was lO.tUa." The net gain was fins. El'ISC OI'AT.. At Concord, on the2Istult ., Professor Wil liam Woodruff Niles, of Trinity College, Con necticut, was consecrated Bishop of the Epis copal Diocese of New Hampshire, the first ever consecrated in that State. The Rev. W. II. Milbnrn, the famous blind preacher, has been o lie red the pastorate of an Episcopal Church in San Francisco, Cal., at a salary in gold of fcliOOO. The Episcopal Convention of Illinois have adopted the following canon: "No clergyman shall resort to a civil court or tribunal for the purpose of arresting, impeding, or avoiding any ecclesiastical proceedings agaiust him, and the penalty for any violation of this article shall be suspension ipxo facto from the function of the ministry." On the 4th of September Bishop Stevens consecrated the new building erected by the congregation of the Holy Trinity in Ceutrelia, Columbia county, Pa., and preached the con secration sermon. METHODIST. The Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, on Eighth street, above Race, having been com pletely and elegantly renovated, was reopened for use on Sunday last. This church has had among its pasters such eminent men as Dr. John P. Durbin, Dr. llaganay, Dr. Crooks, Dr. Moore, Dr. Nadal and others. The present pastor is Rev. II. A. Cleveland. The Toronto papers announce the death of Mrs. Punshon, the wife of the distinguished Weslejan divine and public orator. She was the sister of Mr. Punshon's first wife, and, owing to an absurd law in force in England, her marriage with Mr. Punshon in thatcountry could not be legalized. They accordingly came to this country, where they, whom God had already joii.ed together in affection, conld be united ac cording to the forms of law. Mr. Puns'ion has since then resided in Camden, and now the sad news reaches us ',hat she, for whose lake he left his native land, has been taken from his side by death. The Wesleyan Conference In England ap proved the proposal of Dr. Jobson and others for the erection of a monument in Westminster Abbey to John and Charles Wesley; the authorities of the abbey have glvea their con sent. At the late session of the M. E. Conference, held in Elmira, N. V., the following resolution was offered and had 11 fty-eight votes, but was not carried: AVfoimJ, That, without judging any man, we alleciiouately advise the members of this t'OLference not to atllliato with Freoiu-nonry." METHODIST. ' - The Illinois Weeleyau Uulversity reports a corps of six regular professors a:ul ItiJ students. Its assets are repoi tcd at $301X001), including real estate, endowments, libraries, museums, apparatus, etc. Tbo trustees are prosecuting, with much energy and success, the work of erecting a new L'nlverbity building, 70 by 140 feet, five stories in height, including the base ment, which will cost, when completed and lurnished properly, not les than 10,000. The new Methodist Episcopal church in Portland, Oregoc, which cost i:W,000, was dedi cated September 5th, by Blohop Ames. Enough money was raised to cancel the debt. A new proposal for the location of the Syra cuse University (Methodist) has been made by John B. Burnet, who tenders the gift of fifty acres of land, valued at $50,000, aud offers to meet the expense of the grading of the ground. The land is situated on the Golden Hills, west of the city. The Female College building at Farmville, Virginia, has been bought by a party of gen tlemen, who intend to make of it a Methoiist college. CONGREGATIONAL. Seven Congregational ministers and dele gat e from teu churches in Southern Nebraska lately met to form an association. They dis cussed the question, How shall we provide pas tore, in view of 100,000 people, with ouly twelve churches and tight ministers, aud a rich eouutry rapidly filling with people? The Chicago Seminary opens this fall with about fifty students, a very gratifying increase. The Kcv. C. C.

Christianity has had wonderful success among the Stiauars, a large tribe of degra ted devil worshippers in Southern India, who,vheu -heathen, bad tciiri-ely any ide of God. They have now over WW native preachers, aud 100,000 r.t ininal Christians who have abaudoued bea thfnitiu, and lormed thewelves into congrega tion for Christian worsLip. Welcara from tLo Chinese 7:-f ort- ? th t, . in ('Oiirtcction wiih the recent annual mectlnr of the North Cbina Mirsion of the Ame-ka Board at rV.kini:, an "evening was given to a "conference of churches." Six diflercnt mis sionary organizations wero represented, u1 the exercises were highly interesting and in etruftive. The important political and ecclesiastical changes in Italy have a special interest at a time when the temporal power of the Pope is overthrown. Thirty-thrco churches were repre sented in the General Assembly of the tree churches of Italy, held in Milan, June 2'i 'i't, twenty of which are sustained bv the American and Foreign Christian Union. Declarations of theological nnd ecclesiastical principles were adopted, the former by acclamation, and a large and influential Committee of Evangelization was appointed. Protestant efforts in Italy have hitherto been attended withnotalittlcdillisatty, but, on the whole, the results so far attained fully repay the expenditure of money and labor. The Union supports twenty Evangelists in Italy, eleven of whom are members of the Assembly. PROPOSALS. DE P A 11 T M E N T OF HI G II W A Y S. Office, No. 104 S.
