We give from the North American a summary
of the news.
The American State Convention had met and
nominated a full State ticket. The Republican
State Convention had done likewise. The Su
preme Court had met after a long vacation, Judge
Terry being on the bench. In the middle coun
ties highway robberies continue to increase, and
the reads are quite unsafe. In the Northern and
Southern sections of the State numerous fights
with the Indiana are reported. Many murders
are occuring constantly in the interior. Small
quantities of tea and rice have been grown in dif
ferent parts of the State, and hopes are enter
tained of their becoming staple products.
UTAH.—A large number of Mormon emigrants
have settled in Carson Valley from Salt Luke.
Au election there for - local officers .and members
of the Utah Legislature, had resulted in the tri
umph of the Mormon ticket. The - Supreme
Court of the Territory has decided that the or
ganic act extends the common law over Utah,
and the not being iu the nature of a constitution,
the common law therefore overrides all the stat
ues of the Mormon Legislature. This renders
illegal, polygamy, and all the statutes made by
order of Brigham Young.
Tus RIVER.—A large drove of cattle were, on
September 24th, brought over the Ohio river at
the foot of Western Row, where they forded it
with ease. When cattle can wade across the Ohio
river at Cincinnati, it is at an extremely low stage
of water.
It is now lower than ever before known, and
sixty-two feet below high water mark in 1817.

Among the special Ambassadors who were

An immense crowd assembled at the Kremlin

unprecedented.
CIRCULATION OF EVANGELICAL BOOKS-ALARM
OF TILE PRIEBTROOD.-Fur the first time for cen
turies there are now circulating, in the Spanish
peninsula, Evangelical works printed in the coun
try and in the Spanish language; the- " Du
cilia" of Adolphe Monod, the i 4 Tradition" of De
Saudis, and several other treatises, have seen
the light, and our Protestant literature is be
coming insensibly naturalized.' The Speranze,
a Roman Catholic paper, says:— .
" We cannot but be filled with horror when we
consider' the immense treasures and large re
sources with the aid of which insatiable Pro
testantism has propagated error, and caused the
perdition of souls by the thousands of Bibles
which it has diffused throughout the world ; but
our indignation ought to be redoubled when we
see that it can now lift its hideous Gorgon head
on the most classic ground of Catholicism itself.
One more hour of negligence on the part of those
in whose hands repose the destinies of the nation,
and we are lost: Yet a little while and ye shall
not see me.' Immorality and heresy can be held
in check only by the vigorous band of kings and
governments, who ought not in vain to bear the
glorious title of Catholic, and without whosepro
tection the Church is powerless to root out the
tares sown by the enemy.
"The title of Adolphe Monod's book is
; or, the Reading of the Bible;' it consists
of two dialogues between a Catholic priest, an In
fidel, and a lady who is indifferent on the subject
of religion, and concludes with a series of fifteen
letters. Up to the thirtieth page all goes on well,
for the Abbe Favien defends the inspiration and
the Divinity of the Bible, and its exclusive inter
pretation by the Church, as the only sure guide
for the believer, by arguments from reason, tra
dition, and the Holy Scriptures. But, com
mvneing with the fifth letter, everything is hor
rible and terrible as the monsters of Virgil.
Protestantism demeans itself like a fury, and
outrages the immaculate spouse of Christ by all
sorts of t op hi ma and blasphemies. The author
goes the length of affirming that an old woman,
with the BRA ° in her hand, has the right to oppose
herself to ao entire council. The pen falls from
our hands when we seek to enumerate all the
errors advanced to seduce the pious and innocent
reader."

and emolument it confers. Ever since the door
was thrown open, by competitive examination,
for places under the India Board, in the: army
mid in the civil service, our Colleges and Acade
mies have entered on a career of rivalry with
those of England and Scotland, in preparing their
students ; and in the two latest examinations, one
for India appointments, the other for provisional
commissions in the Royal Artillery, and for ad
mission to the Royal Military Academy, Wool
wich, Ireland has distanced all competitors. In
the India appointments the triumph was great,
but in the latter it was still more signal. Out of
eleven successful candidates for commissions, six
were from the University of Dublin ; and of thirty
for admission into the Woolwich Academy, seven
are from Ireland. In the Commissions, Dublin
has not only carried off the majority of the pri
zes, but one of her men was at the top of the list.
Of the admissions into the Academy, the first was
a student of Queen's College, Belfast, then came
five from Old Trinity, and then one from the
Catholic University.
Oxford used to beat the world for classics, and
Cambridge for mathematics; hut, in these exam
inations, Dublin has been superior to each on her
own field. In the late, as in every war, Irish
men, when tiler as commanders or as soldiers,
have been among the foremost and best. As
Statesmen, they have not been behind the natives
of Britain, and in the paths of literature and elo
quence they have been unsurpassed. Now that
there is a fair field opened, our educational insti.
tutions will snake themselves to be felt. 'While the
National schools educate the masses, and the mod•
el and training schools of the National Board, now
located in the centre of all the provincial dis
tricts, give a higher education and prepare teach
ers for the common schools,- the Queen's Colleges
at the extremities, North, South and West, afford
opportunity for, the highest education to those
who aspire to it.
THE IVIAGEE COMMIT: LOIMaNDERICT.—Mrs. Ma
gee was the widow of the Rev. William Magee,
Presbyterian Minister of Lur,gan. On the de
cease of her brothers, who resided in India, she
became possessed of very large property, and not
having any very near relatives, she devoted the
greater portion of it to the promotion of religion,
at home and abroad, in connection with the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. She
bequeathed £20,000 for the establishment of a
College, which, while it should be under the As
sembly and should provide a course of theological
instruction for its students, should be open to all
its under-graduate course. •

Another Case of Fever and. Ague Cured.
A few days ago we recorded an astonishing cure
of Fever and Ague by the use of Dr. M'Lane's
Liver Pills. We have now another to mention,
viz: that of Mr. James Sharpe, of Madisonburg,
who states that he had' labored under a very ne
vere attack of Ague and Fever, and was soon
restored by the use of these Pills. .Mr. Sharpe
also expresses an opinion,' founded on observa
tion, that the Liver Pills are the best for bilious
complaints ever offered in his section of country.
Although long known as a sovereign remedy
for chronic cases of Hepatic derangement, or
diseases of the Liver, the proprietors of Dr.
M'Lane's Pills were not prepared for the frequent
but gratifying evidences of its general utility and
curative capacity. In this respect, this inval
uable medicine has exceeded their most sanguine
expectations, and induced them to hope that it
will be introduced into every family in the United
States.
g Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, manufactured by
Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa. There are other
Pills purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the
public. Dr. McLane's genuine Liver Pills, also

Dtra~— In Carlisle. Pa.. on the 3d ult., Mrs. 'MARGARET
FLEMING, widow of James Fleming, deceased, and daughter
of William Clark, deceased, having nearly completed her
34th year.
The life of ibis aged mother in Israel, had long been a
quiet and unobtrusive testimony to the truth of Christian
experience, and the value of Christian consistency; and its
close was calm and peaceful as a Summer's eve. She was
waiting for her change. The force of a vigorous constitu
tion was spent, and she is not, for God took her. She will
long be remembered with affection, by surviving friends.

ihrm—ln Baldwin Township, Allegheny County, Pa
Aug. 23d, Mr. Wee. IVmsow, in the 30th year of hie age.
The decedied was a son of the late John Wilson, who
was eminent' as a Riling Elder in the church of Concord;
the son possessing a membership in the same church. The
subject of this brief notice was greatly esteemed by all who
knew him. Ile made a profession of the religion-of Christ
in early life—a profession which he highly tulorned. He
has left a ifs and.two small children to mourn their lose.
Their heavenly Father also took an infant from the 'em
brace of. the parents, a few weeks before the decease of the
husband and fsther. The latter, we doubt not, has thus
soon rejoined his dear child., in the mansions of 'heavenly
bliss. " Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."

Dran—On Sabbath. the 14th ult.- at the house of Mr.
floury Chalfant, in Wilkins Township, Allegheny County,
Pa., Miss SIDNEY WEEELY, in the 74th year of her age.
In youth, this excellent Christian lady consecrated herself
to God, and made a public profession of her faith in the Goa
pel of bis Son, from which time; to the close of life. she ex
emplified the religion of Jesus in her daily walk and conver
sation. She loved the house and people of God; and was
ardentliattached to the'doctrines and policy of the Presby
terian Church, which she well understood, and was forward
in every good and benevolent work. She was gentle in her
disposition, sincere and ardent in her friendship. She was
loved and highly respected by all who could appreciate teal
worth ller whole life was such as to warrant the confident
hope, that she now dwells with her Saviour, at God's right
handin heaven, where are pleasures for evermore.
. Dien—At her residence, in Henderson Township. Hun t
ingdon County; Pa., on the 7th of September, in the 69th
year of her age, Mrs. SARAH, wife of Maj. Janke Porter.
The deceased was a native of the county in which she
lived and died. She was the eldest daughter of Robert and
Jane Wray, born December let, 1796. In 18 1 17 she connected
herself with the Presbyterian church of ntingdou, then
under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. Johnston. In her
were blended the brightest traits of Chri hat character—
charity, faithfulness, and resignation to the ivine will. Her
pathway through life was oft hedged in by the thorns of
- affliction. By misfortunes and bereavements, she was called
upon to add her testimony to the truthnt the Scripture,
which. saith, "For our light affliction, tibieh is but for a
moment, woriteth for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory."
.Her amiable disposition won for her the
affection and esteem of all around her. She loved the cause
of her ltedeems 4 - and adorned Its ffoctrifieibY inatilfeetin‘
that she bad a heart to sympathize in the sotrows of others,
and a liberal hand to relieve distress to Il l tr utmost ability.
Many will, bless her memory, for her affe Monate counsels,
and date their hopes for heaven from her words fitly spoken.
Her life was consistent, and her last eitd pace. We depihre
her loss on earth; but our lamentations break not in upon
the songs of seraphs, which enwrap her Bearing in ecstasy,
and faith whispers to our sorrowing, hearts, " We part to
meet again." B.
HiED—At his residence, in Puraley, near Sistersville, Tyler
County, Vu., on the evening of the Slat of August Mr. &tax
COHBITT, inthe 74th year of his age. ,
The deceased was a native of Iceland, =Jihad been for a
period of neatly fifty years a member in good standing of
the Presbyterian Church, constant in his attendance till pre
vented by disease. As a husband and *AA; he was kind
and affectionate. He was a man of peace; and all feel that
a good man has fallen. May his godly exat ait ple and conver
sation live alter him. Although his call ' sudden and
,
unexpected to his family and friends, ye,t - he himself had
taken warning from hie sinking strengti, and frequently
14
exp eased himself as feeling that his t O ' AM near. His
trust and confidence was in his Saviour, o did not forsake
him in his affliction,
,but was with him by the aid of his
grace and Spirit, to strengthen and enco;niage him in pass
ing through the " valley and . shadow of death."' In all his
transactions with the world, Mr. fforbiti had astrict regard
to punctuality and honekty. He was a good eitizen4. loved
and obeyed the laws and inatitu 4 tions of his country. As a
neighbor, he was accommodating, and highly respected by
a wide circle of acpaintanees. It may be truly said, be
died withont an enemy; esteemed and respected by ail his
associates. But few of bia first associates are left to relate
the history of their by-gone days ; they are rapidly,pasting
away. May we who are younger be admonished, that we must
soon follow them. May we cherida their memories—emu
late their virtues. Mr. Corbitt left an aged widow, hie chil
dren, and numerous other relatives and friends, to mourn
his loss; who, nevertheless, do not mourn as those who
have no hope, but are consoled with the thought, that what
is their loss, is his unspeakelde gain. , ,
Then—On the sth of July, at her residence, near East Pal
estine. Celumbiana County, Ohio, In the 7lst year of her
ago. Mrs. SARAH HAMILTON, consort of Mr Thomas Hamilton,
Ruling Elder in the rhurch of East Palestine. .
Sister Hamilton was born in Cecil County, Maryland,
June 3e1.1780. In the fourth or fiftt year of her age,her
parents removed to the „vicinity of Pittsburgh, soon after
which time, by death, she was bereft of both ber parents,
and thrown, an orphan, upon the world. At an early period
c flier life, she became a hopeful subject of grace, and united
herself with the Presbyterian church of Lebanon, under the
pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Woods, of which church she re
mained a worthy member fOr upward of twenty tears. In
1807,she was united in the bonds of matrimony to Mr.Thotnas
Hamilton, and in 1828, they moved to Ohio, and connected
themselves with the church of. Pleasant Valley, under the
pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Hilwerth.l When that church was
divided, She was placed with the newly organized' church of
East Palestine, *here she remaird alierriattient to the
Christian Church. and character, } nail the angel of death,
released her from a life of toil and suffering; bid her enter
that land where the weary are atirest.
Sister Hamilton was unlike may of the present day. She
loved the public as well as the p vate means of grace. Her
seat in the sanctuary was ?Adore vacant; and whenever
duty called, she seemed ready t respond, either in person,
ii
or with heimeans. As a Christ an, she was truly a living
epistle; ae a wife, she was faith ul, loving, and kind; NIS a
mother,, abe was dutiful; affectionate, and tender; as a
neighbor, she lived and died esteemed by all. God, in his
providence, spared her to see most of her ehiidren brought
into the church of her early chdice. The writer Visited her
. frequently during her protracted Illness, and always found
her With a strong and unwavering ckinitSeiide in Odd. Eibe
bore up under her afflictions with Christian courage, until
the Captain of her salvation said. "It is enough." Truly,
to our weak and infant church of Palestine, this has been a
very aillictive stroke; but God, in his wisdom, doth all
things well. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of his saints" J. B. 14f.
Dish--On the 27A1 of August, in the 46th year of her age,
Mrs. EtMeares Ems - MOON, Wile of Levi Edmunsen, of Elie
abeth Township.
The deceased had been, for more than twenty years, an
exemplary member of the Presbyterian Church; and as sbe
suffered much from ill health and a feeble constitutioo, was
a striking example of the power of the Christian religion to
sustain and comfort the amicted• Naturally nervous and
timid, she could always repose with confidence on the prom
ises of her Redeemer; and those sufferings and dangers
which filled her with alarm and fear, when viewed in the
distance, she could always meet with composure, and bear
with a meek resignation, at once astonishing and edifying to
her friends. In her case, the premise was beautifully
illus
trated, "As thy day is, so shall thy strength be." MI the
relations of life, as daughter, sister, wife, and mother, she
filled with a faithfulness and affection which endeared her
greatly to a large circle of friends, who now:mourn ht r lose.
fife has done her work, and entered into her rest, leaving
the example of an upright and useful life, together with the
seed platted, with a mother's care, in the minds of her chil
dren, already showing its influence in their opening charac
ters, to exert their influence in the world, while she sleeps
in the grave ; an influence which will never cease, and can
never be estimated until the end of time. Well may it be
said of the righteous, " They cease from their labors, and
their works do follow them." W. P.
DIED—At his residence; in Salem Township, Westmoreland
County, Pa., on Sabbath, the 21s1 of September, Mr Davie
811BSOCK, aged 65 years, and 84 months;
Mr. Shryock was born in Hagerstown, Md., in Ha, whence;
at the age of live years, he removed,, with his father, to the
farm on which he resided - till his death. He was theyoung
eet but one of ten brothers and sisters, six of whom still
survive. While spending the Summer of 1814, in the place
of his nativity, news arrived there that the British army
had burned the Capitol et Washington ; and in less than
thirty hours thereafter, he was one of a company of eighty
men wbo had volunteered their services, and were on their
march to the defence of Baltimore, where he was actively
engaged till after the enemy lett that point. In November,
1815, he was married et gage rstown,l o bliss Sarah . A. Wilson,
who still survives. In 1823, Mr. Shryock and wife connected
themselves with the Presbyterian church of Congruity, then
under the pastoral care of the late Rev. Samuel Porter, in
which connexion they. continued until 1819, when they,
united with the newly organized church at New Salem.
Though retired in his manners, and unostentatious in his
Christian profession, the influence of his Christian character
was much felt: and at the altar of prayer, to which in faith
and hope he led his family, and sought for them the blessings
of the well-ordered Covenant, he seemed to be in earnest,
and had the eatisfaction of seeing his children all members
of the Presbyterian Church, And his youngest son in her .
ministry. Although the disease which prostrated him eight
weeks before his death, deprived him almost entirely, of
the power of intelligible speech, and caused, at times, great
suffering, yet his mind was tranquil, and he bore all with
tint - a, martian, till finally he fell asleep, as we humbly
trust in the arms of that Saviour, Jr: Whom he had so long
trusted.

•THE (1031. EL BY JORN.—This is the third volume
of a series on the ltyangeli4=. The following are a part of
the many testimonies borne in favor of the former portions
of the work:
"These volumes display in a very eminent degree
, the excellences which should appear in a condensed
commentary on auy portion of the Word of God. They
embrace the marrow of all the, hest writers and Com
mentators on the. Gospels. The labor which they must
have cost is immense, and could only have newt devoted by
one whose heart wee in the work. The Harmony of the
Gospels, which is interwoven in the Notes, and the wonder
ful condensation i f facts and expositions, render both vol
umes es trams ly ve I uable."—Presb. Banner.
"For valuable condensation, and accuracyy and safety of
interpretation, we think it superior to Barnes, and would
advise its use in our Bible Classes."—Chrislian Inteltagencer.
"Admirably adapted to the Sabbath School, Bible Class,
and Family, with this advantage of preceding works, that it
has appropriated the results of the latest inquiries on vari
ous subjects connected. with Biblical literature."—Puritan
Recorder.
"The author, by hie learning, taste. and skill, is eminent
ly qualified for Hie responsible work of an annotator on
the Holy Scriptures. In his Notes, he combines the mar
row and fatness of many commentators with his own ideas,
and associates his comments with a Harmony of the Gospels,
in a very impressive manner."--Zion's Herald.
"The Notes in e evidently prepared with great care, and
folly illustrate the text to the comprehension, we had almost
said, of the least attentive reader. We regard these volumes
as an important auxiliary to the study of the Gospels, and
a valuable addition to our Biblical Literature designed for
the masses."--Atbany Argus.
From Jamas Hamilton, D. D., London,—" I am especially
delighted to find that you perfevero with your Cotumentary
on the New Testament; and from its admirable execution,
T am not surpriaed, although very happy to learn, that the
former volumes have gone through so many editions."
From N. L. Size; D. D., St. Louis, Mo.—ln my opinion,
you are doing for the Church and the cause of truth, nveoy
valuable service, in the preparation and publication of your
Commentaries on . the New Testament. They fill a place
which it is most important to have tilled. They are read by
the members of Itibla, ClaSflps, and by teachers, and by pu
pils in Sabbath Schools, because in them they find, in a few
words, the exposition and information they are seeking;
and for the same reason they will find a general circula
thin."

a disposition, when coming out of the hive, to fly off a ith

to go away after they have been hived, you can wake them
