The vote allowed that of thitty.twri classes, twen- ty had voted aye, six had voted nay, and four had not reported. The ques tion then came before the Synod for final action.. Alter s long and earnest: debate the Synod Toted one hundred and seventeen to erten to ratify the amend ment by which :the word "Dutch".ls. struck out of the; Church name. The word Protestant was also dropped, and hereafter the body is to be known as the' Reformed Church in, the United States of Americo.' The dogleg speech of the venerable Doctor Matthews, the oldest clergyman in the Synod, was powerful in the fact of unanswerable facts in re gard to the disadvantages under which they have labored in connection with other' denominations- He stated_ that while the Dutch.Chirich in Nevi York, within sixty years, had only grown from eight to twelve churches, during the, same period the Eplacopal had increased , the number of their churches from eleven to' flityeight, ' five to one; the Pres. byterians from four to . forty-four, eleven to one; the. lifethodiste, nine, to one, and the Baptists eight to one. Notwithstanding the preponderating vote iCI making , the change, the opposition from that portlon of the 4critable Hol flattish descent is. Emig la 'wealth and influence, the Chisels of New York taking the lead. It is not right, useful, as money is for church purposes, that thh pe.rse.besring congregations should con. troPthe destinies of a body in so vital • matter, as the majority seek to 'do. It seems the question-has not been sub mitted to the' congregations, and is not necessary undei their polity. Bat the question of the transfer of the Church property'from Um Reforined Protestant Dutch Church to the Reformed Church, is. a question ,to be settled. The Inde pendent, in commenting upon this change, remarks that we- now have the German Reformed Chard), representing ouch of the German and Scandinavian churches as were Calvinistic ; the De formed ,Presbyterian Cherub, a . email body of tkoteh origin; and .the Re formed , Church, representing' - the churches 'which sprung from Holland. The question of dropping the "clutch" .has been conducted. with vigor 'within that body, to the exclusion of other in terests. Now that the' final action by , , ' the hiihest body in thi Church having decided the 'matter, we . hope the body ' will enter 'upon i . glorious career ' of, 1 , It is gratifying tonote that the Frlenas .arp organising Sunday, Schools for the youth Of that body,' RecentlY a Con vention of Quakers was held at New Bedford,.

"They do things up right," he says: "Lost Saturday they were down to measure us all around for nets shoe s, 'and this morning they've sentus a whole .barrel of flour.

Virginia where the young ladies were so fascinating that all the. young preachers sent there were soon taken captive. The bishop thought to stop this by sending thither two decrepid old men, but, to his sti4rise, both were married the same year. He exclaimed in disgust, "I am afraid the women and the devil will get all my preachers!" Wise as the good Bishop was homes mistaken as history clearly shows since bls . day.
