ornamented structures. They are
ri, neat, substantial, comfortable meeting.

ble; and three make no report upon this
point. Eight congregations have houses
either new or newly repaired and beautified.
Very few, if any, of the churches in this
Presbytery are in debt. The church of
Washington, until lately considerably bur
dened in this way, has, within the linA six
months, raised means to pay off its indebt
edness. The first church of Wheeling have
recently gone into their new house, free
from debt. This is the most costly and
beautiful church edifice within our bounds.
PERSONAL AND FAMILY RELIGION
We have pretty full reports concerning
personal and family religion, from most of
the churches. These present a mingled
picture of light and shade. While we have
cause to mourn over the low tide of the in
ner life of many in our churches, we have
reason to thank God that• not, a few, by
stages more or less rapid, seem to be ad
vancing in holiness; and the peace, har
mony, order, attachment to our symbols,
and other ordinary Christian characteristics,
which, almost without exception, mark our
churches, demand our gratitude. Nor
should our hearty thanks be withheld for
the stability and growth reported in the
mass of the converts, gathered into our com
munion from the revivals of the last year.
In most of the Narratives sent' up to us,
mention is made of some few who neglect
the important duties of household religion ;
but we rejoice , in the assurance that the
family altar is reared in most of our houses,
and that domestic religious instruction re
ceives, we cannot say adequate, but at least
commendable attention. Nothing must su
percede, nothing take precedence of the
systematic religious training of children
around the family altar. No amount of
benefit, received from other sources of in
struction, can atone for delinquency here.
If the Sabbath School were a necessary, or
even a common cause of such delinquency,
greatly as we prize , and love it, we would
say, without hesitation, perish the Sabbath
School ! The family is a Divine institution,
and the parent a Divinely appointed teacher;
while the Sabbath School, excellent and
useful as it is, is of human device.
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS
By the Sessional Narratives, we have in
formation in regard to the means of reli
gious knowledge possessed by our people,
through the medium of religious newspa
pers and books, in twenty.one of the con
gregations reporting—nine having made no
report on this subject. Fifteen report the
families within their bounds as pretty gen.
erally supplied with religions newspapers;
the others speak of the supply as rather
moderate. In regard to the H 0717.6 and
Foreign Record, twelve of the reporting
congregations give us no information ; three
report a full supply for all their families ;
three report a considerable number taken;
and the remaining twelve report either none
a all, or only here and there a copy. From
this statement, it is plain that the influence
of-this important periodical is not felt as ex
tensively, by our people, as it should be.
The mass of them, manifestly, are not in
possession of the requisite amount of knowl
edge with respect to the benevolent plans
and doings of their own Church; and
therefore they cannot be expected to feel
that interest in them, or to exert that ac
tivity in promoting them, which they other
wise would, and which is a clear point of
deity.
RELIGIOUS BOOKS
Most of our congregations report visits
from colporteurs. A few complain of want
of readiness to purchase books ; but the
majority report their, people as having pur
chased liberally. Streams of Divine light
—light which in many cases, by the bless
ing of God, is made the vehicle of'saving
grace—are thus penetrating and permeating
all our borders.
OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.
We count it as among the cheering in
dications of God's favor to our Zion, that
the Sabbath is so generally sanctified among
us. A few of the Sessions report a good
deal of Sabbath desecration within their
bounds; but this is not the general tone of
their Narratives ; and, without exception,
they report the holy day as observed, ex
ternally at least, by our own people, with
reverence and decorum. This is well ; for
he Sabbath is the sheet•anchor of Christian-
ity. Reverence of the Sabbath is reverence
of God. The abolition of the, Sabbath
would be the abolition of religion ; the
universal sanctification of the Sabbath, the
universal prevalence of religion. Let us,
therefore, love and preserve inviolate this
sacred institution, as the safety of the
Church and the salvation of the world.
TEMPERANCE
It grieves us to inform you, brethren,
that the cause of Temperance, so intimately
connected with the interests of religion,
morality, domestic happiness and public or
der, is suffering a sad decline within our
bounds. In some localities there has been
a slight advance; in a few the cause is about
stationary ; but generally, there are unmis
takable tokens of a retrograde movement, in
the multiplication of dram-shops and beer
saloons, and in the increase of drunkenness,
disorder, and crime. Rum-sellers and rum
drinkers bolster up their consciences with
the unrighteous sanction of the civil law,
and thence infer the morality, as well as the
legality of their course. , It is some relief
to the pain we feel, in the contemplation of
this picture, to be assured ourselves, and to
be able to assure you, that the mass of our
own people are in favor of the total sup
pression of the liquor traffic, and a total ab
stinence from intoxicating drinks; and that
their practice, so far as personal habits are
concerned, is in harmony with their prin
ciples.
CONCLUSION.
Thus, brethren of the General Assembly,
have we presented to you, in outline, the
history of God's dealing with us, and our•
improvement of his blessings, during the
past year. While we regret that we have
no more, we rejoice that we have so much
to record, which is cheering to the heart,
and encouraging to the hopes of the pa
triot, the philanthropist, and the Christian.
May you and we, sensible that our day of
labor is short, be quickened to renewed and
ever-increasing diligence, by these gentle
but constraining motives, which have at
once their so' roe and their power in the
cross and the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
By order of Presbytery.
JOHN R. DUNCAN, Moderator.
Florence, Pa., April 22, 1857. .
For the Preebyterian Banner and Advocate
Presbytery of Donegal.
The Presbytery of Donegal met in the church
of Columbia, Pa., on the 14th inst., and was
opened with a sermon by the Rev. Lindley C.
Rutter, from John iii: 19. The Rev. John
Leaman was elected Moderator, and the Rev.
John J: Lane reading Clerk.
A new feature in the usual business, was the
presentation of wriiien reports by the Sessions, on
the state of religion within the bounds of the
various churches. These were generally full and
well prepared.
The Rev. Thomas M. Crawford and Mr. David
Mitchell were elected Commissioners •to the Gen
eral Assembly, and the Rev. Joseph M. Ritten- ;
house and Mr. Alfred Armstrong, alternates.

Mr. Calvin M. Stewart, a student in Princeton
Seminary, was licensed to preach the Gospel.
The following resolutions were adopted in re
gard to
Tun ASIDIUN INSTITUTE.
Resolved, That this Presbytery has learned,
with much satisfaction, the progress made by the
Presbytery of Newcastle in their efforts to estab
lish the Ashman Institute, as an institution " de
signed to prepare students for the work of mis
sionaries in Africa, for the Gospel ministry
among the colored people in this country, and
other positions of usefulness to which they may
be called ;" that they have erected suitable
buildings for the residence of the faculty, and for
the accommodation of forty pupils ; that a
President has been elected and inaugurated, and
that the institution is now open for the reception
of students.
Resolved, That this struggling institution be
still further commended to the Christian liber
ality, sympathy and prayers of all our congrega
tions.
And also the following in regard to making
adequate provision for the disabled and superan
nuated ministers of our Church:
Reaolved, That we regard this subject as one
in which a large number of the most faithful and
devoted ministers of our Zion are deeply and vi
tally interested ; and that, as such, it should
elicit the sympathies and call forth the efforts and
the prayers of the people of God; and that we
will co-operate with the General Assembly in
their efforts to promote a cause which breathes so
much of the spirit of the Divine Master; we also
recommend that to this end the subject be brought
before our Churches, and earnestly pressed upon
our people; that collections be taken up in its
behalf in all the congregations within our
bounds ; and that the Stated Clerk be directed to
reply, BO far as he may be able, to the several in
quiries contained in the Circular of the Assem
bly's Committee.
This is the second meeting in the church 'of
Columbia, in a few years. The pastor and peo
ple still hold on, their way in the midst of the dis
couragements arising from abounding sin, and
the ever-changing elements of a congregation
composed largely of those drawn to the place by
the public works, and then leavingln a few years.
Their kindness and hospitality to the Presbytery,
as well as their interest in' our proceedings, will
long be remembered. F..

views of Presbytery in relation to the Ashmun
Institute:
"Asa Presbytery, we hail with pleasure every
effort to elevate our colored population by a
sound and liberal education, believing it to be the
true means for their improvement. We therefore
cheerfully recommend to our people, the claims
and interests of the. Ashmun Institute, located at

the different sections of the road are now organ
ized, with instructions to commence operations
at the earliest practicable period. It is thought
the work will be finished by next December.
The New Steamship.
We find in the Eastern papers interesting de
scriptions of the famous new steamship Vander
bilt, recently finished in New York. She made
her trial trip last week when she ran nine miles
in 32 minutes, and 17 miles were run in 55
minutes, the whole way against the ebb tide.
This performance has, perhaps, never been
equalled, even by a river steamer. It exceeded
the expectations of the most sanguine. The
Vanderbilt will sail for Southampton and Havre
on May 5. The performance of this steamship,
as rival of the famous Persia, the two ships are
of the very first class in every respect, will be
watched with the greatest interest. She is 15,208
tons, carpenter's measurement, and built with
seven solid, permanent,water•tight compartments;
length 340 feet; breadth of beam 49 feet; depth
of hold 33 feet; capacity of- coal bankers 1400

Drao--At her residence. near Carmiehaeltown, Greene Co.,
Pa., Feb 3d, Mrs JANE Hesnsa, widoW of the late Samuel
Harper, Esq., and eldest daughter of the.late Rev. John
ateMillan, of Washington County, Pa., in the 80th
'year of her, age.
Mrs. Harper was, born near Fagg's Manor, in Chester CO,
Pa., May 6, 1777, and was about eighteen months old when
her father removed thence to his almost wilderness abode,
on Chartiers, in the Fall of 1778: She was twice married.
She and her younger' aistev Margaret, (afterwards wife of
Rev. Moses aller4) were married on the same day, in 1800,
:by their father—she to Rev. William Moorehead.; her sister
"to Rev. John Watson, the first President of Jefferson College,
Canonsb6rg, Pa. Both husbands took sicken the setae day,
died on the same day-:-Nov. 80th, 1802—and were buried to
the same grave, in the,old Obartiers church-yard ; where re
pose, after more than fifty years of,eminent pastoral labor,
the remains of Dr. McMillan, his yiife, and a son;
In 1811, she became the wife of Samuel Harper, Esq., of
Greene Co., a citizen of distinction:in Church and State—
being an elder in , the Presbyterian church of Hew Provi
dence, near his residence, and having been Sheriff of the
ounty soon after itsureetion. - He died in June,lB39.
Mrs. Harper had one child by her first marriage, and four
by her second—twO daughters and two sons—John NCH.
Harper and H. Harper, well known and worthy citizens,
who yet occupy the, old homestead.
Mrs. Harper was a woman of vigorous body and mind. So
late as October lest, she was able to attend to the labors of
her house,which was ever the home of hospitality, and to
wait upon her table With almost as much ease as she did
forty yeeis ago; and her mind'and memory seemed to have
yielded but little to the attacks of time. In steady energy
of character, she is Said much to have resembled her illus
trious father.
The piety of Mrs. Harper wee early, intelligent, steadfast,
cairn, ivel.controlling- She had up large treasure in h ear
;'and when she was called to go to itspdaSeasion:she went
rejoicing; yet in the calm confidence inspired by faith in her
adoption. Although her last, sickness was somewhat pro
tracted, It was, not especially painful. Her, mind was un
clothied to tie last and she expired without a murmur or

and religious history of Western Pennsylvania, of :mill of
which tiermind was an accurate repository., Her conversation
on these topios was rich and reliable. ,Indianineursione and
jdaVms, inducing frequent Right to . Forte; the constant
readiness of the loaded rifli'in the cabin ; settlers attending
church guns on shouldei; and knives in helt--thjae,
and their. attendant Perils and privations, were well knOwn
to ber.• She , had, herself, *pied the use of thexitle She
had a land remembrance of James Ross and James
McGready—the former Of whom became an eminent lawyer
and statesman ; the latter a renowned Evangelist; and pastor
in Kentucky. They had lived in her father's funny, and
had been her tettchem The former had taught a Latin and
English school in a log cabin, near ber father's house, while
be was pursuing hid legal rtudies ; which, of course, was
prior to ns4, for in that year he was admitted to the bar,
and entered at once Upon a' large practice. Mrs. Harper al
ways asserted, that those annalists of the Western Church,
who, postpone • her father's log cabin school to a later date
than those of the Rev. Joseph Smith, on Buffalo, and. Rev.
Thaddeus Dodd, on 7en Mite, are in error. 'She said her
father's was started • before either of them, In a rade log
cabin, near the heaps, which was 'soon afterwards accident
ally burnt down; whereupon-Mr. Roes left, and all the
pupils, except MrAlcaready, who remained in the family,
and worked on the farm, Mail Mr. Smith started his anlicel,
when he went there. A few, years • afterwards, another log
cabin for the school was erected, and its labors resumed. , —
this b. Mg the one upon which the chroniclers referred to,
base their statements. Bush, - briefly, is her explanation of
the current anachronism, as given to the writer of this
a few months before her death.. She confuted the historical
statements referred to, with some sensitiveness, as calculated
to rob her father's memory of an honor to which he was
justly entitled—of hidng'the founder of scholastic education
of young men for the ministry is, these ende of the earth.
Mrs., Harper had also a vivid recollection of the "falling
exercises," so ceunnon in the "geat revival/I.er ISO2-'5 of
which she relatedmany incidents:, She had aiso a valuable
, acre of recollections concerning " Whisky Insurrec
tion," and her ' fatber's 'active, stern resistance of its follies
. and crimes: But of 'these we 'cannot hire speak. They be
long-to the histories of our heroic age—not to an obituary.
Mrs. , H. was among the last of the living witnesses of those
great events, and her death has•adJed much to the lost
memories of the past. But our loss is her gain. Bet us,
therefore, mourn not; " OLIN.
Diro---In Lock Ildren, March 2d, Sail. 31cCOuencir, aged
Although It has, been several- weeks eines the above an
nouncement , carried sorrow to,the hearts of a wide circle of
friends, it may not be improper for us, even now, briefly to
notice it. The dece:ased was, fpr many years a member of
the Presbiterian chirch in this place; and dnring tint Min
istry of the Rae. Bir:liegbegn,' he was elected to the elder
ehipi since mail s & time he hatcprOved;one of its active
eta efficient officers. Respected as he was by all who kneir
him, fdr his strict integrity, his deurtesy, and his unassum
lug piety; active as he was in every effort to promote the
welfare of those around him, and beloved as he was by those
who knew him beet, and could appreciate his Christian
character, hie death win - be felt and mourned, not only by
his family and immediate friends, but also by the church
andthe community to which he belonged. But Zr him we
sorrow not as these who have no 'Sops. For we know that,
to the Christian, death is but the entrance upon a higher
life, and the gateway to a glorious immortality. And the
deceased has left us every assurance that in his case the
sting of death was taken away. The Master called him, not
in the first glow of his devotion, when he had but first set
out upon hie journey heavenward, but after his piety bad
deepened and strengthened, and he had been made meet for
tho inheritance of the saints in light. As a shock of corn
fully ripened, be was gathered to the granaries of heaven.
When the hour of his departure approached, be declared his
confidence that the God who had thus far been his refuge
would not desert him now. He assured us that his Saviour
was with him to light up the dark valley. And when we
told him that be was dying, he received it with the calmness
of 'one who felt assured that, for him to die Was gain. He
appeared to be troubled with no pain, nor any of those dis
tressing doubts which sometimes even the dying Christian
feels. His death was a victory; and a fellowChrietian could
hardly witness it withoni feeling himself strengthened far
the contest. His last words. addressed to one of his weep
ing children, were, " Trust in God;" and they revealed
twist touchingly the 'secret Of his owe calm peacefulness.
Shortly after this, be fell asleep in Jesus. Who that wit
nestled - hie departure would not join us in the prayer, "Let
me die the death of the righteous, and let my lest end be
like unto hie!" , • Celostotnotersn.

ter, aged 27 years and 4 days. .
For several years past, the deceased had been subjectto
severe attacks of illness, which had weakened hir constitu
tion, and rendered' her health precarious. Being somewhat
recruited, and anxious to qualify herself for greater useful
-nese in teaching, she entered.the Female Seminary at Wash.
ington, Pain the Fall of 1855. But she was almost 'lmmo ,
dlately proStrated, with inemorrhage of, the lungs, and
obliged to return hem.. Then: followed with infiervals of

Presbyterian church of "Callenabarg, and aver afterwards
inazdfeeteit tile spirit and pracilei of the true follower of
Jesus Obrist, Under all her sufferings, she was patient and
resigned ; and with .each renewed attack, was led to consider
anew, the grounds of her spiritual hope; and her prepara
tion for - death showed - that to.be the result. ' Andes her end
finally drew near, she was so sustained and comforted
through ber confidence in: the Saviour, as to afford to her re
latioris and friends the best evidenee, that for her "to die
gain," precious, everlasting gain. Sensibly conscious
of her-own unworthiness, she declared her wholetrafftto be
in the merits of Christ, and realizing his all-enificiency.to
be more'and- more precious,: the prevailing desires of her
gent were, "to depart and be with him?'
While grieving deeply, then, for the loss they.have sna- -
tabled in this bereavement, the friends of the deceased have
cause to rejoice in her release from the Borrows and trials of
earth, and her attainment of the glorious and endless joys
of heaven.. There, to the ntmoit, will the glorified powers
of her gifted mind find the sweetest employment, and delight
iu praising and serving 4im, :who hath redeemed her, and
who is dedared to be "worthy,to receive glory, • and honor,
and blessing forever." . D. M.

moral character, and ever ; foremost to promote the cause of

was marked, and in keeping with her profession: She was
well known for her public and private benevolenee; and
veryliberitl in the distrlbptiou of her means wherever awn
cause required it. Thwinterests of the Presbyterian Church
were dear to her heart; ; all her sehemes of• benevolence,
both for the temporal nd spiritual welfarenf fine:amen,

Missions especially have lost a valuable friend in her re.

of teoing'Jesus, whom she loved. In her death, our Church
