Henderson; Ptifiparalysis, who 'departed this life in,lllendota, Illinois,. at,thehonse `of his son-in-law, -Rev. J. S - Henderson, on the I. l 7th'day .of October; 1856, in 76th year of his age.' This aged father was a native of Ireland; licensed to preach, the Gospel by the Pres byterian Church of Ireland, in 1806; or dained by the same body to the ministry, in 1808; emigrated to this country in 1809; and spent the greater part of his ministry in Wilmington, Del., in Williamsport, Pa , and in Lebanon and Concord, near Pitts burgh. In this event, we desire to record with joy the loving kindness of the Lord, in sparing so long the life and health of this father; to stand on' Zion's towers, to proclaim the Gospel. We rejoice to know, that he "died in the faith of that Jesus whom he preached for fifty years." " Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." While we would tread lightly on the ashes of the dead, we esteem it a tribute due to his memory to say, that during his connex ion with this Presbytery, for more than eight years, we knew nothing inconsistent with his Christian or ministerial character; and his zeal for the cause of Christ was manifest. In this dispensation we would recognize the hand of. God; and while this, father survived his three score years and ten, it may not be so with us; life is uncertain, and shortly we may be called on to give an account of our stewardship. May we work while it is day, for the night cometh. LICENSURES. Messrs. John A. Pinkerton, and Albert E. Thompson, students of the Western Theological Seminary, were licensed as pro bationers for the Gospel ministry. PASTORAL RELATION DISSOLVED At the request of Rev. A. S.

'EDITOR :—Since my induotion to the min istry, I have been the happy recipient, from the congregations' , I have served, of Many , special tokens of regard. Bata little more,than six months have, elapsed since my present pastoral relations with the churches of M'Veytown and Newton Hamilton, was formed; and through the excellence of this people, and the kindness of my esteemed prede cessor the commencement of my labors has been very pleasant. On my settlement, last Spring, this people made provision for the immediate dis charge ~;1" a debt of several hundreddollars; and, moreover ' raised the pastor's salary two hundred dollars.", The y greeted "me with a warm recep tion, supplied me with a variety of necessaries, are remembering their financial engagements, the Boards of the Church, and so far as I know, are now in the enjoyment of union and peace. Recently they have augmented this kindness by the gift of a number of seasonable things, as flour, pork, venison, groceries, apples, poultry, hay, and withal a beautiful and valuable carpet. Nor the last, I am particularly indebted to the goodness and thoughtfulness of #lO ladiea. This record is an innovation on my life-tong custom, and it should have boen forborne; but the fact of my being , almost au entire stranger to the people, and the earnest , suggestion of a ven erable and valued friend, required, in justice to the people, and as an 'example to others, it should be made. How much might manyeongregations, without self-denial do, to minister to the pastor's domestic comforts, and cheer his heart his work of faith and labor of love !" God grant widely the spirit and reward of such beneficence; and above all, that the influences of his grace may "come down" on pastors and people, "as rain on the mown grass, and as showers that water the earth ;" that the year on which we have entered, to many of .ns probably the last, may be radiant with unwonted Divine attestations to the power of the Gospel. C. For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Presbytery of Saitsburg. This 'ecclesiastical body, separated from the Presbytery of. Blairsville by the action of the. Synod of Pittsburgh, at its last meeting, met in the Court House at Indiana, on the 6th inst. Mr. Painter preached the opening sermon, and constituted the new Presbytery'with prayer. It consists of seventeen ministers, and has under its care thirty-three churches, two licentiates (one of whom, viz., Mr. G. W. Mechlin, is to be ordained and installed at Glade Run, on the 20th of Feb ruary) and six candidates. The Presbytery was organized by electing Rev. S. M. McClung, Mod. eri!tor ; Rev. Messrs. Carnthers and Moore, Tem porary Clerks; W. W. Woodend, Stated Clerk. Standing rules were adopted .for the further ordering Of Presbytery, end ,committees appoint ed to superintend this ,various benevolent opera tions of the Church, as follows, viz., Missions, Mr. Carothers Foreign Missions, Mr. Lesson; Education, iMr. Orr ; Board 'of Colportage, Mr. McClung; ,Church Extension . , Mr. Moore. , A committee,, : consinting,,ef Messrs., Morton and Orr, ministers, and Wm.

" It was enjoined upon all our congregations to take • action on the subjeot,ef 'Pastors' salaries in accordance with, the direitions contained in ,a Pastoral Letter, published recently by the Presbytery of Blairs ville, rand report to the Presbytery of Saltsburg, at the Spring,meeting.

Those uninterested du the philosophy of history, and who wish only to see .a romance of greatneis in in dividual heroes or isolated events, may 'fig the eye upon the summit ,reached after a 'struggle of years. But; such is' wisely re-., fleet upon,• the axiomatic: truths, that .".Gocl is hiatory, and .yet that no, end reached without appropriate meting, stillanfore-interested-4nmeontemplatingathem_ foundations of advancing greatness, and in - tracing the rise tospesifionwerilistinguished honor, than im'aratAinzigilie - warriors, and statesmen, and be'nefactors themselves, when they stand upind the giddyleights to which theif pergies - aud• the providence of God have elevated them.

All the Ai*btrihei, together "With 'the mingled' pee; pie iliieh constitute - the 'Mbalein;enpire,, speak of his name with veneration. The' Je , ai.s . in every part' of `the world, together with many tens of thousands of the tribes' of Persia and khans of Tartary, call him their father But he has an honor still in advance of 'this. He is " the father of the faithful'". All who enter heaven through Christ, are called the children of Abraham. When, therefore, the names of the greatest • warriors of the world will be forgotten, or will be buried in an oblivion of disoraee, the memory of the son of Torah will come up with many a delightful and hallowed asso ciation to the saints . , as they join the angelic hosts, to sing the - triumphant hallelujahs of heaven. Whatever of interest we might take in a minute record of all events in the early life of Abraham, we are left, as with the early years of the' sojourn of Christ on earth, with only a few incidents.. These, however, are striking, and may be noticed by the reader of history. as not without influence .in form- ing his subsequent character, and in ele vating hire to the position he reached in the' evening of . his life. For, although we grant,that God wrought miracles in behalf of him who was afterwards called his " fiiend ;" yet we should not bury that which is natural, and which nines to him , in the common course of providence. Abraham was the youngest son, The son of old age, ,of Torah. The father was in the late afternoon of life when the little fair-haired boy looked up into his face to ask counsel, or to receive the smile of approval. His eldest. brother had reached " three:seore years and ten," when he was yet a playful child of only ten Summers. The deaths of Peleg, of his grandfather Nahor, and of Noah, the patriarch of the deluge, Were, yet recent events.. They could not but be sub jects of conversation .in the tent, of his, father; and they would , doubtless make ..a. deep premature upon 'his • youthful mind.- The premature - decease of his elder brother Haran, if ; it did take plaCe as the first death of the post-diluvian world, as there is some probability, was an event of his early years, and would certainly leave its impress upon his mind. His brother bad gone to the world of spirits when, young.; he, top, might early close his ,mortal life. Thui he might be led to ask how he might seek ",a city which bath foundations whose builder and Maker is God ;" and eventually, at the special call of Jehovah, he would be ready to confess that he was "a stranger and, pilgrim on the earth." • Some locate Ur, a little North of Haran, in theproyinee of Urfa. • Eut, with'others, we think, it more probable that it lay in the same plain:(padan) of Aram or Syria, about two hundred miles East, and near the Tigris. It is said that Scenery has something to do in developing the powers of the soul. No place in Padan-aran, or in Northern and Felix. Mesopotamia, was better suited than this for the early training of the great Jew ish Patriarch. To the North; the wild Misian mountains stretched out as far is the e 3 e could reach. Among them he might drive his father's flocks, and cultivate a love for scenery such as he saw in its Milder and more beautiful fOrm in Canaan, his, futine home. To.the East, the Tigris hurried its foaming waters past where the walls of Ninns afterwards stood ; and to the West, flowed the Chaborus, a tributary of the Eu phrates. To either stream he might pass upon his dromedary in a fei bouts, to quench his thirst, or bathe his body in their pure mountain waters. To the South, the desert .plains of -Mesopotamia extended • far and wide ; still covered, in the age of Xenophen, with a low shrub which he calls wormwood, and inhabited by '° wild asses, roedeer, bus tards and ostriches." Thus on every side, scenery, grand, beautiful or wild, appeared, as if to lead the thoughts up to the God that made it all. Abraham was the son of a rich pastoral chief, who left a portion of his wealth with his son Nebel:, afterwards the founder , of a city, (Geri. xxiv : 40,) and who, with his flocks and many of his servants, emigrated to seek`a residence for the rest of his family. He crossed the two streams of the Ohahorns. came in 'eight of the Euphrates, and pitched Ids Ants in a country called by the Greeks Anthenausia, or- the ldnd.pf. xoseswbutwhich he called Haran,- to remind him thatrdeath' : s cold. hane had been laid upon his house. We_are not informed, , as in the ease of 'Job, Va r niigairiTie ''``VrVelfitlForriirthat in a, few! years the. rich pasture i lanps of Cinaan was not able to sustain the united flocks of Abraham and Lot, - so -that they could dwelt together': 14:61 are ihelservants or subjects of the two heirs'ef.

These must have been .

When to this we add the pOrtion inheritedhy Lot, which was almost if not fully equal to Abraham's we cannot be mbitaleen in counting "father of the faithful" 'as Tee sod' of a wealthy pastoral prince. ; These circumstances, placed by Provi dence round Abraham, are first links of the 'chain Of his history.' `Thek, show how, 'tra der God, he rose , so soon . in • Canaan to. such distinction and influence, (Gen. xxiii6,) tinidthawithe;mations.that , sprlteg trSla, - 00 6 : 6 .A . tNeqtlY4 ',:g l Tat aid Pe14 0 1. 18 - 4 ' 41. e descendants: of these !'sek;eraritiCeirsted 't&r ` - glaifefaildiiii,lkoElivifFkpnin4rAd'fftt thek , enbjeots the , idukes and A whocingwhocountedad . liaerikPli':oi Ui 44 Harlin RBI their royal ancestor. 11":"*.

For the Presbyterian Fanner and Advocate, She *as Falling, and the Saviour Re. Caved her in his Arms She had long been a follower of Jesus Christ. For more than forty years she• had borne a consistent profession before the world. Her Christian experience was not entirely unclouded with doubts of her own acceptance. But she could generally say "I know whom [have believed." Her life had been one of many trials and anxieties, yet she had ever been able to lean upon her helper God. She was " a mother. in Israel," and she had carefully trained her child'r'en in the fear of the Lord. She 'had early instilledthe precepts of religion into their hearts, and she had prayed with thern, and for them, and taught them to pray. Her 'Christian .benevolence was expansive. Shp was not only ready to shed the-sym pathetic tear, but, also to, extend the, help= ing hand. She was ready to give " word ing as the Lord had prospered her," Into his treasury,` and she was not, ashamed to speak for' Christ. She delighted to meet the assemblies of the saints, and her place was net ; wanting in the meeting, for 'prayer. She loved the Sabbath, and set. before her children an exatnple of its devout cheery- She esteemed herself "less than the least of all • saints;" but she. pressed forward "toward the mark of the prize of .the high eallin'g of Gott . in Christ Jesus." And now old age had come with its attendant feeble sees and infirmities: She hid had some apprehensions that her faith might fail when she should,be called te pass, through the dark valley. But God was better to her than her:fears. The dreadmessenger carte very suddenly. By the"overturning of :the carnage in -which. she was. riding, she ',WaS thrown with much violence upon the ground. Her 'head received the blow, and she gave no sign of returning,consoionsness. For a brief moment, before the eyes now glazed in death were closed forever, they were lit, up with an expression of intelligence, and loving friends anxiously sought some sign of recog nition. Bat she heeded them not. It was but the, light of heaven entering upon the spirit's vision. The failingbriath grew fainter and fainter, and then all was still. She wss not r for Godtook-h,er. Iferfuneral sermon contained the, exPression Which gives a title to this little sketch. A brief description of the manner in which the de., parted. hid passed away from earth, was closed.; with .the words, "She was falling, and the Saviour received her in his arms. When she went forth on that fatal Morning, her open Bible' was marked at a favorite portion, the ninety.first Psalm. There is' the Trecious asSurance, "Ile shall give his angels charge over-thee." The Angel of the covenant bore her up in,his arms, and con veyed her to the celestial city. • Years have pasied away since she entered upon her reward, but the Teraory - of this aged saint is still fresh, in many hearts.. We love to,think that for her, there is no more' wea riness or pain—no more anxiety or distress —no more sin or sorrow. She has entered upon "the rest that remaineth'to the people of God." She had' delighted" n the trinpS pliant expression, "There is, therefore, now ; no ,conclemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus •' " now she is with him who uttered it. With Dothiridge she had sung "Ye stars are but the shining dust Of my divine ftb ode ; The pavement of those heavenly courts Where I shall reign with God." Now she is above the stars, and. if ,our poor faith fail not, after a few more revolv ing suns we shall;see her again; for-we shall dwell with Christ, 'and hiS"glorified ettPdien foriver.

On 'Abe .18th of, April, 1.855, I planted four. measures, l and two , ze a of potatoes in the 'following . manner The ground was an oat clay of .medium strength" and good soil, friable and in good order. The row -Were' Marked' off three "feet' asunder, Itiffr . '‘Th'euiteroare used was about half ,rotted, the strawy col leforirlfront ithe; h4rn-yard; -.and ; in each dasetiwWitintider,theibtatoefit The first parcel consisted of one peck of fine,- - potatoes, weighing thirteen pounds None, ,of ;them were less in. size 'than a , turkey's",iegg. They 'were 'dropped from ten to twelve inches apart, without, any Bitting," and,, planted 'a little less than thirtve yard" half a rovi or The. , second .oarcel, was:.-precisely:the same in 'quantity and quality; but they *ere' out so as Weave, as'nekrly as possible, but` tie' eyes piece. They were drOP Pa.di.aboutpi Fie in chef; apart, and planted iteventy r .five „yards, or six. „yards , over, double the sarne 4 kitukuneut.- - •• , el w ( The; third parcel was anOtherPeck-ef the: same kiited' of enttiffe thei•iyes ~~t.. a.. ."L =WM MWri Agricultural. only were taken out =with a sharp•pointed knife. They only weighed four pounds. They were planted from six to eight inches apart, and lacked but ten yards of finishing two rows. The 'fourth parcel was (Me peek, of small potatoes, not averaging larger in size than a black walnut,, when hulled, and weighing also thirteen pounds. The largest of these were cut in 'two ; and the smaller ones were thinned 'of their •eyes, 'by paring off—en deavoring to have but two on each small potato or piece. They 4 were planted eight or, nine inches apart, And oe,cupied jest two They were all covered with the plough. The .cultivation they received was once ploughing, 014;a little dressing up with the hoe.' They were dug the first of 6epternher, and the result hi ai3 follows: - • NO. 1; one and . a half bushels; No. 2, three and seven.eighth bushels ; No. 3, three and three-eighthbushels ;. No. 4, seven " _ °As to the quality Of potatoes ",produced," with the eXceptioti - ol the peelings (No 3,) , there'ivaibeareely anypereeptible difference, if • any. 'Number one were rather the' smooth est: The peelings were decidedly inferior, by being knotty .and;smill. 1:n numbers, two and Tour, no , difference .could he seen yet the return was'equally as good, per row, froM the imall.'Seed, 'and' they planted nearly twice as much grmind. ' The opinion , advanced, by some, that, as,= we derive our increase from the tuber ' and) not, from the seed„ it matters not about the size, so a snfficient qiiantityOrinotter'patato is secured; to start the ,shoots,,ieln some de gree'sustained, by this experiment. .1 was, and still am, a , "'doubting Thomas" in this matter; and until, the experiment is repeated carefully, for several 'consecutive years r will make no positive assertion. The above experiment was a part of a large patch 'the kind, Neshannooks; the yield two hundred and twenty bushels per, acre. O. ALI3iRTSON. Canton, Rd. iscellantots, TELEGRAPRIC.—Experime4s with a So. lar Telegraph have,been made with complete success in Paris, in thq presence of Le Ver rier,Liais apd trpve. ,The rays of the sun projected from and upon the mirrors; the duration of, the ray makes the <alphabet, af ter:the system of 111cirse.

The'Blue Ridge of Virginia Tunneled.- -A Nice Calcuiation. The Blue Ridge Tunnel was finally car ried 'through the mountain last Week., On Monday morning the augers" appeared from either side, not More than half an .inch apart, and the perforatiou was complete. The Staunton 'Spectator, says So accurately has been all the calculationa make by Col Crozet. that the auger holes from both ends of the Tunnel. were only half an inch. distant.from,each other, .when they met, and the difference.in the length of the Tunnel, as computed by 'measurement on the ontaide, Wirer the top of the Mountain 'and as accurately measured` inside, after the per foredo; ' was less :*than' six 'iuchea. The draft'at 'the perfOration'ls StrOig enough to extinguish a light on the _Eastern side. The progress of this: island• continent is really astonishing-1-rivaling that of our Wes tern States. BY recent adViceer, 'we learn the following particulars On :the 25th. of August,' 1855; the population of 'Victoria amounted to 150,905 souls,' inclitding 100, 220 - men, 28,848 women, and• 27,842 chit dren. Of this number '22, 471 were emi grants from China. It is reported that the Chinese are treated 'xittiehhetterin Australia thari in California. The 'cluster of Colonies in the island-continent which had scarcely any existence 'commercially twenty years ago, now import from Great .Britain goods to the Nalue of $70,00000 annually. There are some who, predict, that, the British .colony at the Cape of Good Hope' in South Africa, wiTh in u few years become as import ant tti:AuStralia now'' Wool, wheat and hidasare now - the 'great staples of this colour ny. The revenue' of Cape town for the year ending the . 30th of - Jude, 1856, amount ed to. about .a ntillion and, a half of .del lars, showing . a large , increase of, trade. But Australia has nearly the"same_ resources as California, and , the .colony: at the Cape has but little ehance, however rich it may be in. the productions named abOVe. Aus tralia will be to England what 'California is to us. , lb 60 00 "As I live, I Cannot." A certain member of the good, Society 'of Friends was engaged in the, hotting busi ness.
