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

PASTORAL RELATION DISSOLVED
At the request of Rev. A. S. Billinply,
the .pastoral , relation between him and the
chureh of Slippery Rook,_was dissolved.

MR. '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

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

Every thoughtful and reflecting mind will .
look with the deepest interest at all the cir
eumannees which , assist: irif2rining thechar
acter of the truly great man. for.. this
reason, the whole history, and especially the
incidents of early life, of such men as Cyrus,
and Columbus, and Washington, are reed
with veal pleasure. 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

theif pergies - aud• the providence of God
have elevated them. "
Abrabatre,s, earthly Tgloyy, is „hardly, less
tharrthose first upouthe.rollOf great dllOll
- heroes,, and benefactbrs. 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. Tenth nuin
bered. Yet, eleveh years after_the passage
of'9he`great and after Lot had settled,
in Sodom, Abraham armed three huncted'
- aria - eighteen soldiers bOrn„inlii: own house.
These must have been . 'horn before the
death of Tenth. ,:The longetity of the pa
triarchalage, the fact that vassaltige or ser
vitude was more by families than nth later
period, add the common* ratio of such
youthful aud home-born warriors to the.whole
population, viotild make t

of souls in the family of,Abraham not much
short of thre - e thouiand. 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

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

weary in the Lord's work, and lacked faith
to believe and trust him.,
There is no plan of usefulness which does
not require self-denial.. The Book of God
points out. no flowery path of eak: in which
the heavenward pilgrim may walk to the
golden city. The way is rugged; the strug
gle upiard ; the rest that remaineth for the
reople of God is at the end-of the journey.
There is much encouragement from Gocrs
Word in the faithful performance of duty
encouragement as well to the managers as
to the contributing 'members of this Society
The inspired4postle says, " Lay by you in
store as God•hath prospered you.' Were
that injunction mere_faithfully obeyed, it
would not be the painful experience of the
managers _so often to hear the disheartening
werdi3,..!`„call'again." God's Word is true;
and hetells *spur prosperity Will be more
than equivalent to,our benevolence ;' and:the
promise is beautifully exemplified in the
Wideir'S.meal and cruse of oil. Another,
and 'far better rewaid faithfulness,,is the
'return 'Of spiritual 'bliseings to the souls of
theSe'! who give.' and 'labor forthe cause of
.the circulation Of. the Bible, which is
the tobject of this Asseciation, cannot be too
;highly n estimated by the Christian., for

disciple, though-.4lmti?obY .Years, by the
,same gift
,looked id the future of the
14iiild of glory, and" beheld' the 'sublime
visions of the APooalypse. The prophet
foresaw that the Son of God would , descend
to this low earth, and become a man of sor
rows ; :that lie would die to save lost sin.;
ners, and finally 'return in triumph to his
Father's-hokum. The prophecy became his
tory, and the evangelists recorded it with a
heanty,'simplicity, andpathos which touches
all hearts. ' Our duty and our desire prompt,
us to Spread as. far as in our Power the
means by . which man may cornprehend the
glories which the
,prophets predicted ) and

POTTED` MEATS.--It 'sometimes happens
to the ladies frail some -un reseen circum
stance, that large quantities of cooked meats,
prepared for. a . party that:did not come off,
perhaps, remain, on hand,. which, for want, of
knowledge - howto; preserve, are measurably
lmt. Such should be potted. Cut the meat
from the Vaiie and - chopfine, and season
high with. salt,. pepper, Cloves and ' cio- ,
namon. Moisten with vinegar, Worcester
shire sauce, or, melted ,butter, according
to
. the kind of "meat, or to suit yobr
own taste. Then :Pound it tight into a stone
jar, and cover:over the top With about a
quarter of an-inch:of melted,butter. It Will
keep uninths, 'an& always afford• a ready and

So various and conflicting are the opinions
of agriculturists, da,-regitrd to the quality,
used, and the time of planting, that I have
been induced to make some experiments,
hoping thereby,,notnnlyjo satisfy My own
curiosity, but also;. to contribute :my ,inite
toWM4 Affecting a profitable settlement of
the whole matter.
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,

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

The. , second .oarcel, was:.-precisely:the
same in 'quantity and quality; but they

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,

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. ,
