Second and Arch streets. About $9,000 have al
ready been subscribed, which is considered a suffi

the building. The new church will be a large and
t- kaudsoin edifice, and its estimated eost is $20,000.
Two of our liberal and public-spirited citizens, John
W. Friling and E. V. Bright, Esqrs., each sub

Attempt to Tiihow a Trais orr the Track.
The Danville American says that on Saturday night,
!eih alt., an attempt was made to wreck the down
train on the Lackawanna Railroad, at tbe Pennsyl
vania Rolling Mill, in that place. There was a car
near the track, juet below the mill, which had been
placed there fur repairs, and just as the passenger
train reached that place the ear was pushed against
tbe train, tearing the sides of the ears. If it bad
been thrown fornard a few moments sooner, so as to
got in front of the train, murder would have been
tho rosult. The engineer saw the w re tones running
from the place. A reward is offered for their de
tection. A Fike Resii.exce.- " he residence of Win. Ilea

most eligible site in this neighborhood. We learn
from Mr. Reagan that a numbor of lota adjoining

valuable for building purpose, owing to their Dae

THE. SUSQtTBHANNA .8YN0D. OF
- - PENNSYLVANIA. -a,
Th Susquehanna Synod of th Evaagallcai Lu
theran Choroh of Pennsylvania asaomb'sd In th
Lutheran Church, at Bunbury, under the efficient
ministry of Rt. Hemperly, on Thursday evening.
April 23d.
The Synodlcal sermon was preached by the Pre
sident, Rev. J. Evans, of Lewlsburg, from Lake 5 : 6.
U Is hardly neoeasary for ma to (tat to your read
ers that this sermon was decidedly line. It spark
led with brilliant figure, grand horn thrusts, a true
and original exposition of the nature and extent f
ohristiaa duty and life. It was a sermon of much
practloal Importance, not only to the ministry, but
to every member of the church. It was listened to
by a large and attentive audienee.
firs losisagg aissioit.
On Friday morning Synod was called to order by
th President, a hymn was sung, when all present
bowed before a throne of grace In solemn prayer,
led by the presiding officer.
After this tbe roll was called and absentee noted.
Lay delegate were then teoeived, and all those
congregation that did not present their dismissals
from East Pennsylvania Synod, at the laat meeting
of tills Synod, were requested to do so. This being
attended to they proceeded to
TBI ELECTION Or OrrtCtll.
President Rev. . A. Hharrets, of Uughesville,
Lycoming county; Beoretary Rev. E. J. Wolf,
or Turbutvllle, Northumberland eounty ; Treasurer,
J. H. Engle, Esq., of Sunbury, North'd eounty,
ADVISORY MKMIERl.
There was quite a number of visiting brethren
present, who were received as advisory members :
Rev. Ziegler, Willard, Officer, Spreoher, Wampole,
of tbe Lutheran eburcb, and Rev. Haas, of th
G erman Reformed . There were others, whose name
w do not recollect.
RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions, after a full and free
discussien, were passed. This action may be re
garded as preparatory to the adoption of a constitu
tion. It will be perceived that they have conside
rable merit and importance. They are a step in
the advance, assuming more of a radical position,
and wipe out some of the State usages of tho ohurch.
The Synod, we think, is entitled to the thanks of
the laity for the confidence reposed in them. The
resolutions are as follows, from memory :
Resolved, That we regard ordination as the only
scriptural mode of induoting candidate into the
ministerial office.
Resolved, That this Synod recognlioa th right of
lay delegate to Synod to participate in tbe busi
ness of the ministerinm.
There was but little objeotion to the passage of
tho foregoing, and what Utile was presented soon
disappeared under the power of argument advanced
in its favor.
COKSTITCTIOW.
One of tho principal items of business was tbe
presentation by the oommittee and the adoption of
a constitution- There is a proper adheronoe of the
Susquehanna Synod, in her constitution, to tbe sen
timent and princlplos in general of the good old
mother Synod, East Pennsylvania. The foregoing
resolutions, of course, caused some change, and tbe
plan and practice introduced by the new Synod for
ordination is far in advance of tho mother Synod.
The chairman of the oemmittee on constitution did
good service. Receive our thanks.
DOCTRINAL BASIS.
This elicited a warm discussion. The disousslon,
however, was oonduoted in tbe most fraternal and
christian manner, all desiring to arrive at a proper
and Biblical conclusion. After a full interchange
of sentiment and feeling, the following was received
and is presented as the grand fundamental principle
of this Synod :
"This Bynod receives and believes the scripture of
the Old and New Testament to be the inspired word
of God, and the only perfect rule of faith and prac
tice, and reoeives and believes the Augsburg Con
fession to be a summary of the fundamental doo
trines of the word of God."
This, you perceive, is short but to tbe point, and
is considered sufficiently strong and comprehensive,
and lo full compliance with the demandc of tbe
General Synnd.
BOMB XI38I0.1S.
Rev. M. Officer, general Superintendent of Home
Miasious, made an interesting statement of the ope
rations of the Society. This efficient officer has re
signed his position as agent, but it will not take
efleot until after the meeting of the General Synod.
Ilia advice or request was, tbat this Synod co-operate
with th Missionary Society of tbe General Synod in
the great work of extending the gospel. Tbe Sy
nod parsed a resolution favoring the idea of co-ope
ration, and to give some tangible proof of their sin
cerity resolved to eleot Rev. Hemperly pastor loci
a life member of the Missionary Society by the con
tribution pf twenty-five dollars. In five minutes'
time this was accomplished.
MISSION FIELDS WITDIS TBE OOCMDI Of TIIB BYNOD.

under tbe care of this Synod.

the plaoe.
Thus has closed the first regular meeting of the
Susquehanna Bynod. The brethern all teemed In
spired with the Spirit of the Master, and from th
different reports of tbe state of religion, it seems
great progress has been made in extending the Re'
deemer's Kingdom. There Is energy and spirituality
la this young eoeleslastioal body, and the constant
brineinc of themselves into living sympathy with
Jesus, wilii Hit spirit and with a continued desire to
win souls for Him, and drawing their inspiration
from Ood, th Great Head ef th Church, glorious
things will be accomplished. May Ood bless all th

aud all the redeemed, enter upon tbe services and

LETTER FROM MONTANA,,
Barrack City, M. T.; March 21st, 1881.
Sirs : My short acquaintance in this young Ter
ritory of the mountains, makes me feel inadequate
to site yon a description of Its mines and resources,
and the hope wbiofa seem to inelte its occitpanM to
(till greater exertion te develop it rloh minerals,
making it some day stand side by side with its sister
States, unrivalled In mineral wealth, while Its rich
alleys are hardly to be surpassed iu agricultural
products by the old and more-Settled portion of ur
great Union.
Tire great Wealth In gold fonnd rn gulch or Placer
Diggings is still far from being exhausted. Only
the most aooessibl portions have been worked by
miners of small oapital, who prooured a small part
of tbe precious ore and then returned to the Statos
to toll a lamentable tale of th mines and thoir sur
roundings, loaving the larger portion to be taken our
by more systematic miners. The mines in Bannaek
and vioinity, whioh a year or two ago, would soaroe
yield five dollars a day, when worked by the old
prooessof mining with rocker and hand eluioe, and
whioh were abandoned by the minors who went iu
searoh of rlchor claims, are being re-oooupled by
men who have erected large flumes and bydraulioks,
and are now making those old unproductive claims
Eay from ten to fifty dollar per day to each miner,
ach claim being thus worked, still makes It moro
conclusive that the palmiest days of our young Ter
ritory ar yet to oomo.
The present modes of milling ar laid to bo, by
men of experience, for from being perfect, and that
a few years hence will show more improvements and
more productive mining than the changes of the but
year or two bave displayed. Bannaek, two years
ago, was supplied with water fur mining, by two
small ditches, neither of them large enough to sup-
Ely more than one bydrauliok. Now thoseditches
ave been enlarged until they oarry water enough
for a small river. Their numbers bave Increased
to nearly a doren, ranging In longth from 3 to 25
milos, landing the water on top of the highest moun
tain and making mines productive whioh hitherto
have laid idle on aooount of their elevation above
the water facilities. New ditches are in contempla
tion, and soon our pretty streams, now teeming with
spotted trout, will all be turned from their natural
ohannols and made subservient to the hardy moun
taineer in bis efforts to unearth the shining ore.
When our railroad connections are oomploted with
the east, and when labor and material can be bad at
more reasonable torms, it will make mines which
are now worthless on aooount of high prices, produc
tive to tbe owner in a degree that will surprise some
of our slow-going eastern friends. The Placer
mluea here are scattorod over hundreds of miles of
territory on both sides of the Missouri, and gold has
been found oa the western slopo, only a few miles
from here.
The quarts lodes or leads hero, both gold and sil
ver bearing, are oomidered to be far more valuable
than the l'lncermines, and on them seem to bang
the future greatness of our rising Territory. Tbey
are found Tu great abundanon, and the work dono
on them thus far only proves them to be mines of
inexhaustiblo woalth. There are several steam
quartz mills running here now, and the result of their
numerous clean-ups seem to uiako the quarts, men
feel in great glee, and point out to thorn a rich bar
vest in tbe future.
Nearly evory part of tho globe is represented
here by mon of all colors, ages and languages. You
may meet at any time John Chinaman with his long
cue, tbe treaoberous-looking Greasers from Mexico,
while tbe Knglish, Irish, Scotch and Welsh are seen
together. The Canadians and Frenoh are well re
presented, while Norwegians, Swedes and Pole
ineot you on every side. This mixture of nations
in one common searoh for gold often oauscs quarrels
which seem to be quieted by bloodshed only, and
give this place an unwished for notorioty. But as
oivil law becomes more effective, the revolver and
knife are laid aside It is hoped that their reign is
at an end.
Coal has been found here in abundanoc, and al
though the country, as a general rule, is sparsely
timbered, there is no danger of the supply of fuel
being exhausted by the immense drain caused by
steam mills and smelting furnaces, tbe latter being
used in the rcduotion of silver ores. 1 know of bat
one furnace now in successful operation ; that is
Esle's. at Argenta, 15 miles from this pluoo. It was
built late last full at a cost of t.',000, and is pro
nonnoed a complete success, turning out silver nut
tons weighing from 60 to 200 lbs. Tho oost of smelt
ing one ton of ore is about 15 dollars, tbe ore paying
from that up to $100 per ton, leaving a large margin
favor nf tbe owner ot the ore.
We bave had a verv pleasaut winter, considering
the altitude and latitude of our oountry, the ther
mometer going down to 17 deg. below tcro far a
few uavs in tho lore-part 01 January. Bince tnen
e weather has been mild.
I believe this to bo the healthiest climate in the
nion. A stok man 1 rarely to ne lounu, aiinjucn
the life lead hore by many would seem severe
enough to destroy the strongest of constitutions.
C. 8 P.
The oars on tbe Northern Central Railroad now
have an iron bridge connecting them, with a strong
iron railing on each side, making it impossible for
persons to fall between the cars. They are so con.

means for illustrating bis opinions upon the ques
tions of the day exist in his reports, letters and aots ;
