MATURE Of the STATE of ILLINOIS has
one of its. Sessions, and is, I presum'e,
this present writing,olosiu g up its labors.
,13 are some peonliarities in the Constitu
of this State, which may not be known
lur readers; one of which relates to the
islature itself, and is as follows :
'he meetings of the Legislature shall take
only each alternate year. The eon,-
!lion shall be a certain respectable per
for each member, for the first forty
; but if they prolong their Session be
that period, they are each to receive
two dollars per day, which has been
id, by actual expenmeilt, to be insuffi
t to supply the daily wants of legislative
molts, to say nothing of cigars, and other
Jteras, known by long estalished prom
-
it to be absolutely essential to the corn
mble existence of law-makers. The eon
mecca is, that as the fortieth . day
vs near, there is an uncommon alacrity
ifested in the passage of bills. They
out of the Legislative Committees, And
hie through .the respective branches `itt
rate fearful to Volrord, and in a =IVO
horrifyin g to those who are not used to such i
things. The effect of this is, that among
many good bills, some Lid ones find their
way upon the Statute books, to remain,
perhaps, a dead letter there, or to be brought
up at the next meeting of the body, and be
revised or rejected. I mention this pecu
liarity of our Le g islature, for the benefit of
those who may be complaining of a four or
five months' session of theirs. Another
provision of our Constitution, and one which
has drawn down upon us no little obloquy,
is designed to prevent an accession to our
population, of free people of color. It pro
vides that a colored person can only settle
in the State, or remain in it, if entering the
State after. the enactment of the Constitu
tion, under penalty of being taken up and
sold upon ten days' notice, to the highest
bidder. This enactment is, I believe, a
dead letter upon our Statute books ; only
one instance, that I know of, having oc
curred in which an attempt was made to en
force it, and that in the city of Galena,
where the population has a large New Eng- '
land elynAnt; but it was frowned down by
an indignant and outraged community.
Lest your readers should infer from the
above that we are behind the age in at least
this enactment, let me say that a reason was
given for the adoption of this provision,
which seemed to justify it. It was alleged
that the worn-out slave's of Kentucky and
Missouri were liberated that they might be
set free upon the soil of Illinois, that the
masters might get rid of the burden of sup
porting them, as they were compelled to do
by the laws ,of the first-named States;, and
thus the old and decrepit became a burden
upon the Counties of a free State. Hence
the law. These might be sold to defray the .
expense of their support. In this light the
law may not appear so odious.
We have in Illinois some excellent CHAR
ITBLE INSTITUTIONS, sustained by appropria
tions from the public treasury. The Super
idtendents and Trustees of these are re
quired to render their reports at each legisla
tive meeting. The'report frpm the Asylum
for the Insane presents some note-worthy
features of general interest. At the date of
the report, two years ago, there were in the
Asylum one hundred and sixty-six patients.
Since then, three hundred and two have
been admitted. Of this whole number—
four hundred and sixty.eight---tme hundred
and eighteen,•or more than one-fourth, have
been pronounced cured, and discharged
and .fifty-six, or nearly one-eighth, have
been decidedly improved by the treatment,
and in that state dismissed. Who need des
pair of the recovery of friends suffering un
der this most afflictive proVidenoe, in view of
the above facts ? Let the efforts in behalf
of these unfortunate persons, go forward un
til insanity be at least, in part, stripped of
its terrors. As to the causes inducing in
sanity, the report is very able. Those
cases which are usually regarded as induced
by religious excitement, are pronunced by
this report as due to other causes, and its
conclusion is, "that the truths of the Chris
tian religion, brought before the attention
by any ordinary induction, ever produced
insanity in a mind of healthy constitution, is
supported by .no valid experience." This I
believe to be correct.
In concluding this letter, lam called upon
again to record the goodness of God, in visit
ing his Church, and pouring out upon her his
REVIVING INFLUENCES. Rev. Bro. Hender
son, laboring at Mendota, in this State, has a
station some six miles from M., to which he

in answer to prayer and faithful labor, God

and when I last heard from the field, twen

Bro. Henderson has been aided in his labors
by Bro. J. C. Barr, of Princeton.
Apra re nata meeting of the PRESBYTERY
OF Rook RIVER, was held at Stirling, a few
days since, when Rev. James L. Rodgers,
late of DOnegal Presbytery, wag received as
a member of Presbytery, and a unanimous
call; from the church of Stirling, placed in
his hands, which it is . hoped he will accept.
Preabytery, at the same time, received un
der their care, Bro. Vanderlas who is pur
suing his studies with Rev. A. H. Lackey, of
Freeport, having in view the ministry
among our German population. Bro. V. is
an earnest, devoted, and exemplary man,
and cannot fail, 'under God's blessing, of do
ing good to his' contrymen. He has, for
some years, acted as colporteur of the Amer
ican Tract Society, and in that capacity has
developed many excellent traits of charac
ter. We have great cause, as a Church, to
thank God for what he is permitting us to
do among our German population, especially
in the North-West. May he raise up and
qualify many who will go forth and labor in
this department of his vineyard.

" SINAI AND , PALESTINE—in connexion with
their History.". By Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, M.
D., Canon of Canterbury ; with Maps and Plans.
Redfield, New York. T. S. Davison, Market St.,'
Pittsburgh.
A - valuable book, like this, can safely be re
commended to all- intelligent readers: Its rare
peculiarity is indicated in the title. It so con
nects the Geography with the History ,as to give
you whatever of sacred interest belongs to the
places in question. The Author visited Egypt and
the Holy Land, with all the enthusiasm of a
Christian scholar. And in hie notices of the Scrip
tural localities, he has philosophically treated
their sacred history at the same time. He has
brought to view, the-remarkable position of Pal
estine, as a central district, amidst the Ancient
kingdoms, North, South and East, and with a
refeience, also, to the great kingddm of the
West. Witnesses, from the world of nature, to
some of the miraculous events recorded in Scrip
ture, are also.adduced. The features of_ the
country, topographical, geological, and geograph
ical, are so interwoven as to relieve the book
from dull and barren - detail ; and we are enter
tained with the life scenes, at the same time that
we have interesting items of information from all
these collateral sources.
The volume may wear, to some readers, a frag
mentary aspect. The notices seem, often, too de
tached. But by this, it must be remembered,
the Author has attained brevity. Dr. Robinson,
in going over much the same ground, gives ns
three large octavos, instead of one, with a min
uteness of detail which is, tiresome to many read
ers. • Such questions, as the ancient fertilitY and
population of Palestine, are treated here. The
Sinaitic Inscriptions, the peenlarities of the Jor-•
clan, and Dead Sea, the discussion of the track of
the 'Exodus, and of the localities of Sinai, are
highly interesting—with Appendices and' foot
notes that are valuable to the Scholar, for refer
ence. ' The MAPS, interspersed, are very good.
NOTES are added, as of "Mi. Gerizim," the locali
ty of Abraham's meeting with Melchizedel—page
244 ; • House or Simon, at Jaffa—page 269.
That the volume is popular and remarkable, is
shown from the daily use which has been made
of it; by a pair of literary young lady readers,
who have abundantly marked, in the margin, the
copy leaned to, them. A gentleman.of fine taste,
in this eity; pnichaeeil five copies, for gifts to his

THE PRESBYTERIAN 'BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
iciu ¢puxtment.
Intercourse with Africa.
We see some intimations that the British Gov
ernment is arranging with Spain for privileges at
the Island of Fernando Po ; not restrictive, how
ever, but to have there a free pore. The object
is, to facilitate trade with the Western coast and
the interior of Africa.
Fernando Po is but a few miles off the month
of the Niger, which is, next to the Nile, the
main river in Africa, and empties into the At
lantic Ocean near the Equator. It has a surface,
of some eight hundred or one thousand square
miles, and a negro population of fourteen thou
sand. It is of volcanic origin, and rises into two
peaks, one of which is ten thousand six hundred
and thirty feet high. It is, for a large portion
of the year, very healthy even for Europeans.
The intention is to have on this Island,ahealth
fel harbor and commercial depot, and to establish
thence a line of steamers on the Niger. An Eng
lish steamer has already been up the river one
thousand miles, and returned rithout the lose of
a man, by sickness. But the Niger is navigable
much further, and has navigable branches. It is
estimated that the river and its branches would
afford ten thousand miles .of steamboat naviga
tion ; and mostly through an extremely produc
tively and thickly settled country, where there are
numerous cities and towns, in sore° of which . va-
Mous of the mechanie,arts already flourish.
Here, then, would be *tied' an immense and
highly productive field for trade. Many years
would not pass till it would afford to the mer
chant an hundred millions of dollars of commodi
ties for exchanges in. trade ; and to be perpet-
nally increasing. The far-seeing eyes of British
statesmen perceive this, and while they are mag
nanimous in arranging for a Port which shall be
free to all nations, they justly look out to have,
if they honestly can, the lion's share to themselves.
They already have, with Western Africa, a, trade
to the amount of some millions, while we have
but a. trifle.
But we are pleased to see some little indication
of an awaking spirit'in one country, and of liber
ality in our Government. There should have
been, ere now, an acknowledgment of the Repub
lie of Liberia, as an independent nation, and
Consuls should have been appointed, and a line
of Ocean Steamers established. Congress and
1. the country have been importuned for these
things, by the friends of Colonization, but,
hitherto,' without suedess. Now, however, the
recently extended discoveries in Africa, and the
rapidly increasing and. profitable British trade
with the coast, and the project for reaching the
interior which we have noticed above, are inducing
onr wise men to direct theirthoughts to that long
despised continent. A proposition has been made
in the U. S. Senate, by Mr. Toombs, and a bill is
introdueed by 'Mr. Seward, to appropriate $30,-
1 000, to an exploration of the Niger.; and move-
ment is made to give -Ao the Colonization
Society, an equal amount for an influence to
be put forth toward the suppression of the Slave
Trade. If these appropriations * shall be made,
it will be a small, but a good beginning. Even if
the bills should not pass, it is yet an omen for
good that the subject is thus distinctly noticed.
Another Congress will find the way opened to pros
ecute the work in earnest.
The importance to the United States of the
project before us, is immense. Its influence in
the suppression of the slave trade would soon be
effectual to its entire abolition in all the region
brought within the range of the commercial en
terprise. A large amount of our agricultural
products, and of our manufactures, would be
waited. And the yield of the soil, and the in
'dustry of those tropical regions, would be just
adapted to our wants. In these respects, our in
terests, and those of Eng.and, and of France,
also, would bnabout on a par. And in regard to
distance andmarine facilities, we and they would
range nearly on an equality.
But in one respect we have vastly the advan
tage of those countries, and in another we have
a tenfold interest to what they have.
Our advantage over them is this, that we have
a very large population, adapted by nature to the
climate of Africa. It is a country where white
men can hardly live, but where cOlored men have
their home. This colored population we have.
England and France have them not—or not to
the extent and of the enterprise and vigor need
ful. These would ferm i for us, merchants, ftc
tors, &c., to reside there, and conduct business.
There are, already, in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and other;cities, and in some country places, also,
many colored men who would be adequate, with
a very little instruction, to tmdertake and to cow
duct well, commercial agencies, on the banks of
the Niger. And the number of these conld'be,
and would be, increased as rapidly as the neces
sities of trade would demand, The Ashmun In
stitute, in Pennsylvania, is coming into' operation
just in time' to aid in supplying such a, need.
And the same class of our population would sup.
ply our steam marine, *hich might be employed
on the Niger and its branches, abundantly with
laborers.
'.EI wise use of this 'advantage, flowing so richly
,
from this portion of -the inhabitants of the land,
would soon give us a decided pre-eminence in the
anticipated traffic.
The great interest to - which we alluded, which
our, nation has in this enterprise beyond all other
nations; is in the facility which it would afford us
of disposing, humanely and without trouble, of
our colored population. This people 'are multi
plying rapidly in our country. They do not find
among us the freeman's homa---not in any part of
the 'Union. Such a 'home they might find, and
would find in Africa. They would find it of choice,
and possess it with . desire. They are adapted to
it. It is adapted to them: 'lt is the country
which prOduced them, and which excludes, by
destroying speedily those who have the temerity
to emigrate there, other races of men; and
,es
pecially the whites.
But . the blacks it invites to a genial home.
The experiment is made of its continued adapt
edness to returned Africans--to the children of
Africans to the third and fourth generation. A
Colony has been planted, of such. It is a Chris
tian community ; a civilized people; a Republic,
abiding and flouriehing, with its President, Con
gress, Cuurts,,,Judges, Churches, • Schools—all
the institutions,which our own home affords. As
things are now, the colored people, mostly, hesi
tate to join their brethren there. But why?. How
shall they get there? What shall they do there?
How could they get back ? They are surrounded
by darkness, and filled with fears. But let them
see ships sailing thither, heavily laden, and oth
ers returning with rich cargoes, every day in the
year ; let them see their brethren passing and
repassing :as they choose; let them have their
.letters frUin their friends, and see the newspapers
from the country, and handle the products of the
soil, and talk with the multitudes rho will go and
come, and soon they. mill emigrate by hundreds,
and by thousands. Soon—in a. few generations—
it will be a stream from this country to Africa ;
an exodus,' as it is from sweet Ireland. to free
America,
In that event, the black race, even in the free
States, will be elevated. They may not attain to
social equality, but they will havl new motives
to.inspire their ambition. They can go, or stay.
And the numbers departing would leave more room,
and better employment for suoh as might remain.
And a way to rddnungssidn Would be dretinotb,
opened, and inducements held out lo the master
to do well by his servant.
We think we see, in all this, some glimmering
toward the elucidation of that gloomy question,
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH TUE BLACKS ? An en
lightened policy and a truly Christian spirit, duly
heeding the teachings and openings of Providence,
will conduct to benefits of unspeakable value, to
both white and black.
Washington.
We are still without our regular Washington
Letter. The approaching close of the Session of
Congress stimulates, as with an event usually
does, the members to increased activity; and yet,
legislation has made no great progress. Little or
no business has been matured, though a few bills
have passed one or the other of the Houses.
CORRiPTION.—The Committee to investigatethe
charges against un-named members, of official
corruption, have brought their labors to a close,
and presented their report. It is manifest that
they were greatly, restricted in their investigation,
for want of definite information, and from the dif.
&ilty of obtaining witnesses. Enough, how
ever, has been discovered to show that there is
an immense amount of fraud connected with
Congressional legislation.
In one case, the sum of . $14,500 was given by
the author and proprietor of a book, to get a law
put through by which ,the book would be pur
chased. In another case, a member of Congress
told a counselor, that -$lOO,OOO would be needfal
to get a land 'bill through, as there were twenty or
thirty members of the Rouse who had agreed to vote
for no such bills, unless they were paid for it:
Fifty dollars were, required by a menthe; to pim
a pension claim for a widow. One member offered
another
..$1,500 for, hiti vote on a certain bill.
Sections of land were .intimated as the reward to
members, for their favor and influence ; &0., Eta.
The Committee report to the Rouse, the names
of four members, as guilty; appending the testi
mony, and recommending their expulsion. The
members are, Wm. 'A Gilbert, Francis S.. Ed
wards, and Orsamus a:Matteson, from New York;
and Wm. W. Welch, of'Comiecticut.
Such a report, it may well be imagined, would
cause no small commotion. Many found fault
with the Committec,as though they were themselves
conscious of guilt. There was, from the speeches
reported, such an 'obvious: effort to suppress in
vestigation, screen the guilty, produce delays,
embarrass proceedings, and prevent action, as to
convince honest and straight-forward men, who
are always willing to come to the light, that their
deeds may be made manifest, that there is deep
and wide-spread corruptiOn in this fountain of
political influence. It seems to us evident, from
the investigation, though but just entered upon,
that myriads upon myriads of the public lands
and public treasures, are voted away to Congress-
I men and their friends.
Connected with Legislative Corruption, how
ever, there is a class of men, who are likely to be
still more deeply steeped in kuilt than the-mem
bers. These are the &ion. These men have the
opportunity of speculating
: deeply. They spend
their time at the seat of Government. It is their
business to get laws passed. They must be paid
for their trouble. They are acquainted with all
the members, know how to bargain for votes, can
make their demands off the interested parties, on
the ground, as they allege, 'that large sums are
indispensable, and then keep the money, mostly,
if not entirely, to themselves. The use made of
it cannot be inquired after ; and there may be
dark insinuations against members, when, 'in
reality, the borer is the only guilty person; un
less we attach guilt—and we should do so, deep
guilt, and disgraceful—to the man who would
attempt to influence legislation by money.
Mr. Simonton, the correspondent of the New
York Times, on whose letter the investigationwas
ordered, was, implicated by apart of the testi
mony, and the Committee..advised. that he be,
henceforth, excluded - irem the Reporters' :seats
in the House. .
The Committee also reported a bill to protect
the people against Corrupt and secret influence
"It provides," says the reportpr for the Times,
" that no person shall directly or indirectly offer
or agree to 'give any money or other valuable.
thing to any person on the' contingency of the
passage or defeat of a bill ; that no person shall
approach, converse, with, or explain to, or in any
manner attempt to influence any member of either
House, relative ,to 'such: inessures, - without first
distinctly explaining whether he - is interested
personally in his own right, or as agent, for any
other person in the passage or defeat of any
measure.
"This offence is made a misdemeanor, to be
punished, micontriction, with imprisonment fOr a
month or a year, and a fine of $5OO 0r41,000.
All combinations to influence legislation are de
clared null and void, and persons offending are to
be punished for such misdemeanor, by imprison
ment in , jail for six or twelve months, and a fine
of $5OO or $1,000."
The final action of the House is not known
here, at the time of our writing.
A tariff bill had passed the House, reducing
the revenue about $6,000,000, but not affecting
'the principle of protection. The Senate may
modify it. '
The Dallas-Clarendon treaty had been again
taken up in secret session, in the Senate. \
The forthcoming. Cabinet had not yet been an
nounced. • • . • •

The resumption of navigatioi , is developing the

immense. Railroads we highly appreciate, but
they cannot do all the business. The rivers were
made for use. They serve a great purpose; and
are capable of being improved so as to accom

demonstration now being made of their im

as the most comprehensive and reliable treatise
upon the subject now published. The laist Penn

issued by the publishers of this work, proves how
closely the author follows the times in iniprove

forbids all vaporing about new and capricious

The steamship Asia reached New. York on the
23d, with Liverpool dates to the 7th: She had a
tedious passage, and the slowness •of our dis
patches of mails has kept us' out of our letters
and paper's till we have , time left for but Very
little news.
The Asia brought $400,000 in specie.- This is
an unusual event. " It has been customary; since
the opening of .the mines'in California, for us to
send specie away, and not to receive it, in any
large'quantities.

The English Parliament re-asgembled on the
3d inst. 'The Queen's speech alluded to negocia
tions between.thel3nited States and Honduras in
relation to Central American affairs, and, ex
pressed hopes that those difficulties will soon bo
'settled. A "reply to the Queen's speech was
agreed to, and presented in the usual form:
The. wars with Persia and China have both
been discussed, in Parliament, and information
called for. Earl Gray called for a dispatch writ
ten by , himself when in office, prohibiting the
English local authorities at Canton from taking
active measures without referring to the home
Government, which despatch he had Written
after conferring with the Duke of Wellington.
An interesting, discussion Was also had in rela
tion to the Hudson Bay Company on an action to
inquire into the State :of the possessions of that
company and the license of trade controlled by it.
It was suggested by several speakers, that the
moneoly should be broken up, and the lands
thrown open to emigration.
A. member allnded to the idea of emigration
new going on toward Minnesota, and said the
only mode of avoiding a conflict between England
and the United States, which might arise from
American: emigrants oversteping the borders and
squatting on English soil, would be ,the annexa
tion of Hudson Bay to Canada.
Persia
A telegraphic , dispatch from Constantinople,
says that • Russia demands occupation of the
Persian province of,Mazandeion.
The English have reconstructed the forts at 33u
shire, and, leaving them occupied by troops, have
marched upon Mohamora, which commands both
the province of Bars and the road to Shires.
They are also abont to occupy Mohammed and
Bender Ali, two towns in the Persian Gulf, '
ereeee.
The Englis,h and French troop have been
ordered to evacuate Greece, their demands having
been fully complied with. A commission has
been appointed by the three protecting powers,
Russia, England and Prance, to investiptelhe
condition of the Greek finances.

The object of this 'work is to show that the world has
hitherto labored •under a profound mistake respecting.the
Nieto ew word given as "Jehovah," In the Old Testament.
The author undertakes to prove. bya historic philological
argument, that it was not Jehovab,"-hut " Yahveh"—that
it &es t mean "I Am," (Self-existence,) bat "lie Who
Will Po, or Come," (The Deliverer,y-in short, toot the
" Jehovah " of the Old Testament'. and the " Christ" of
the New, denote oneandthe same Being..
[Extract from Or. Taylor's Introductory Letter.]
The argument is altogether new and original; and. if valid,
proves what many of the ablest theologians hive believed,
without resting their belief upon grounds rothoronghly ex
egetical. It raises a question to be met wherever the Bible
is read—a question In respect to a fact which it would seem;
if not admitted, most at least be controverted. If the view
Imre taken is erroneous, it is too plausible to be pasiedover
with indifference by the friends of truth; if tree, it is of
unmeasured Importance to the Church and the World.

. • ' ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE .• •
of tho
17:01.4" SCRIPTURES; •
OR, THE BIBLE PRESENTED ,lINDER DISTINCT . AND
CLASSIFIED HEADS OR TOPICS.
By John Eadlo;D: D., LL. D.,
Author of "Biblical Cyclopedia," "CondeneedConcordanco,"
&e., &c.
One volume octavo. 836 pp.. Cloth.• $3.
The Publishers would call the epeclel attention of Clergy
men. and others. to some of the peculiar features of this
great work. .
1. It is a concordance of subject', not of words.' In this
respect. it differs entirely from the crdsmon concordance:
neither is, therefore, a substitute for the other, and both are
Indispensable as a pert of Biblical apparatus.
2. It embraces all the topics. secular as well as religions,
naturally suggested by the entire contents of the Bible. in
this respect it differs from Scripture Manuals and Topical
Tett.Books, which areconfmed to theological or doctrinal
topics.
3. It contains the entire contents of the Bible unabridged,
differing nothing from the ordinary Bible except in arrange.
ment In this respect it differs from the class of worksjust
alluded to, which contain only a part et the Bible.'
4. Where the same passage of Scripture relates to more
than one subject, it is repeated under the appropriate head.
In this respect, the book differs from any other Of the kind.
5. It contains a Synopsis of the contents empire.e from
the concordance, presenting in a readable form, and in the
compass of a few pages, a bird's eve view of the whole. In
this, also, it differs from any other.
B. It contains a table of contents, embracing nearly two
thousand head", in alphabetical on.er. This is a degree of
fullness quite unsurpassed. . ,
7. There is bet one other work In the language, on the
same general plan; end this not only surpasses thatin fell•
nese and completeness of detail, but is offered at much less
coat. ,
No student of tbe Bible would willingly disiunse with
this work when once possessed. It in ad, pted to assist all
classes—clergymen and theological students, Sabbath school
superintendents, teachere, and Bible Oesses, and times en
gaged in tho s composition of religions, and even secular
works; and, in a word, common ceders of the Bible, who
have no other object in view than their own improvement.

DR• KIN NE Y2—FEELING A DEEP
interest in the common cause of our blessed
Master, and .. believing his interests amongst sinful
mitt to be more fully maintained and secured .through,
and by the sustaining • of • our own • branch of the
Christian Church, I would, by your permission, call the at
tention of that portion of the Presbyterian family who de
sire-, the coming Spring, to procure a farm in some healthy
locality, and, at the earns time, within the bounds of a Ytee
byterian congregation, and would affectionately invite any
such person to call and see a farm that is to be sold on the
25th of March nexi. This farm is situated in the County of
Ma honing, 0., lying claim to the pleasant village of North Ben
ton, iu which there is a very respectable church. building;
also,respectable congregation in attendance from `Sabbath
to S abbath. The Rev. Win. 0. Stratton is now, and has
be& for several years past, our Stated minister.
This Farm was ;be former residence of RichandSproat, a
vederated member* of our Church, whom the Lord has re
moved from the Church militant, (as we humbly trust,) to
the Church triumphant, withiu the past year The above
tumid ram contalini about 105 acres, about 100 of which
aro in a good state of culttvation; an abundance of good
umber • well watered by spiings ; a comfortable dwelling;
a large ' double deck bank barn ;'also, a young, thrifty or
chard of grafted fruit, built .of apple and peach; andlies
within four miles of the Ohio and Penneyivania Railroad.
In abort, it is one of the most desirable places of residence
in all this section of country, for a Preebyterian family.
Such a family will receive the hearty welcome of all our
people. May we not hope from the many hundreds of the
readers of the "Banner end Advocate," who wish to obtain
a desirable home discerning Spring, at least to be favored
with one good brother, and a oteworaer with us in the cause
of our blessed Saviour and Redeeiner.
Further particulars may be had by addressing Wm. A
