Presbytery of Rook River
Held its stated Spring meeting at Andover, in
Henry County, in the new and very tasteful
church which that people have lately completed.
They have also just finished a commodious par
sonage, the first in the Presbytery, setting thus
an example for the large and wealthier churches.
Rev. G. S. Inglis was chosen Moderator, and
A. W. Loomis, Temporary Clerk.
Rev. C. Levenworth was received from the
Presbytery of White-water, and Rev. J. L. Rodg
ers dismissed to the Presbytery of Miami.
Two newly organized churches were received
and enrolled " Heathland" and "Newton."
This Presbytery has now eighteen ministers and
twenty-six churches.
Rev. J. C. Barr was released from his pastoral
charge at Princeton; and Rev. J. L. Rodgers re
turned the call of the Sterling church. These
two important churches are therefore vacant, to
gether with three or four others, all of which
greatly need and desire faithful ministers of the
Word.
A letter was read from Rev. J. Dickey, D. D.,
President of the Trustees of the -Ashman Insti
tute, and the following Minute was adopted:
" Presbytery is pleased to learn of the establish
ment, and of the prospects of this institution,
and of any judicious efforts to improve the con
dition of the African race among us, and, there
fore, recommends the Ashman Institute to the ,
members of her churches as an object worthy
their sympathy, encouragement and aid, so tar as
in the providence of God they have the means
and the opportunity."
The report of the Financial Agent of the Pres
bytirial Institute at Dixon, shows the school to
be in a prosperous condition. The Trustees of
this Institution have recently eleoted Aleitander
M. Clow, Esq., of Washington, Pa.,Principal, and it
is expected he will be at his place early in July.
Presbytery examined Mr. C. H. Park, a stu
dent at Princeton Seminary, on his Collegiate and
part of his Seminary course, and assigned subjects
for parts of trial for licensure. _
Rev. W. W. Marsha and Wm. Ayers, were
chosen delegates to the Assembly, and Rev. J. S.
Dickey and George Walker, alternates.
Suppliea'were appointeiLas , follows :
eavanna.—Mr. Mason, two Sabbaths at dis
cretion. Mr. Coon, First Sabbaths of -June and
August.

June and August.
Beulah.—Mr. 'Loomis First Sabbath of June.
Mr. Leavenworth, First Sabbaths of July and
September.
Tisleilwa.—Mr. Barr, First Sabbaths of May,
June, and July. Mr. Kelly, Fourth. Sabbaths of

son, were appointed a committee to visit and re
vive the little church of Bureau, and dispense the
Lord's Supper.
Messrs.' C. Axtell, of Galena, A. H. Lackey, of
Freeport, and G. V. Ewing, of Rock Run, were
appointed as a standing Committee of Education.
The following resolution adopted at the last
meeting, was re-affirmed': "As God's covenant
with his Church includes parents, together with
their children, and as the ordinance of Baptism,
the Sign and seal of this covenant, is to be ad
ministered to the children of believing parents,
and as there is great reason to fear that this
precious erdinance is much neglected ; therefore,
Resolved, That the ministers in all our churches,
and the elders of churches without ministers, be
required to ascertain the extent of this neglect,
and instruct and admonish the people as to their
privileges and duties in this matter, and make a
report of the same at the next meeting."
The following action was taken : " Impressed
with the duty and necessity of increased liberality
, toward the Board of Domestic Missions, we will,
with the help of God, endeavor to make larger
Icontributions to its funds."

Sect that it is impugned and denied by many
around us, the Presbytery would earnestly call
the attention of the Sessions of our churches to
this subject, and direct them faithfully to inquire
whether, in any case, the ordinance is neglected,
and to report to the Presbytery at its next stated
meeting.

upon all her ministers to preach upon this sub

sprinkling or effusion as the only Scriptural mode

The Rev. William Buerhen presented a cer
tificate of membership in good and regular stand
ing in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Wis
consin, and of dismission and recommendation
from the same, requesting to be received into this
Presbytery. Presbytery proceeded to examine
him according to the requisition of the Assembly;
and, being satisfied with his examination, and
Mr. Buerhen having adopted, ex animo, the Con
stitution of the Presbyterian Church, he was re
ceived into the Presbytery. He is to labor for
the present as Stated Supply of the churches of
Lycurgus and Waukan.
Mr. Frederick Smith was licensed to preach
the Gospel, as a probationer for the holy ministry.
Mr. John Gilmore and Mr. Frederick Brue
chert, were examined, and received under the
care of the Presbytery as candidates for the,
ministry.
The Rev. John Pryse was dismissed to the
Presbytery of Sioux City ; and the Rev. Jacob
Kolb to the Presbytery of lowa.
The Rev. Mr. Caldwell reported the organiza
tion df the church of Bremer Valley, according
to the instruction of PresbYtery at its last
meeting.
The Narrative of the State of Religion disolosd
the gratifying fact that a number of-our churches
had been blessed with a season of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord. The First church of
Dubuque, the German Presbyterian church of
Dubuque, the church of Scotch Grove, and the
church of Maquoketa, were of this number.
They did not- indeed report extensive revival.;
but the manifest presence of the Divine Spirit,
and quite a number of hopeful conversions.
These, together with the number which have been
received by certificate, make the number added
to our churches during the past year, large in ,
proportion to the number we then had. Last.
year we reported five, hundred and twenty-nine
members in the churches of our Presbytery, and
this year the number will be abouinine.hubdred,
showing that the numbernf communicants in this
Presbytery, has nearly doubled in one year. To
God be all the glory. Some of our feeble
churches have been entirely without preaching:;
for the year past. Some have
_suffered greatly
on this account. There are also many destitute
Places where churches ought to be organized at
once, and where the fields are white for the har
vest. But, we have no men to. occupy them.
May the Lord turn the hearts of matityoung men
to this field, this Spring. Nine new churches
have been organized in the field covered by this"
Presbytery, last Spring ; two of which have since
been set off to the Presbytery of Sioux City.
The labors of some of our missionaries are very
arduous and abundant. One supplies four,
churches, and has to walk from one to the other,
which are froth eight to twenty miles apart. That
good brother walked to Presbytery, a diatance of
nearly one hundred miles. It is no, easy life to
be a missionary at the West. The West is called
a fast country, and it is so. , And this fact makes
the labor more arduous. The work of_ a century
has to be done in a decade, or it cannot be done
at all. Would that our fathers and brethren at
the East could be made to understand and realize
this. We would then have more sympathy at,
least than we now do, in our trying difficulties and
arduous duties. -

Superior region, one of its members being, a
missionary in that field.
Resolutions were passed expressive of the con
fidence of Presbytery in the 4$ Ashmnn Institute,"
and pledging for it the sympathies and prayers
of its members. •
Although the naratives of the state of religion
from the churches indicated no general or un
usual outpouring of God's Spirit, yet the statisti
cal reports exhibit a larger addition to the church
es than usual, as well as increased liberality in
the benevolent operations of the Church.

intimatinglis intention to retire'from public life.
Such a feeling is natural tom man in shattered
health, in the first moments of his disappoint

he may well be allowed to , consider popular in
gratitude. We trust, howeiree, that Mr. Bright
will live long enough to relifonsider his determi

"0 mourn her notl the desert now is poet, -
• And she hath gained the bright and slnlessland
She was too pare for this dark, sin stained world,
And God hath called her to his own right band.

humble follower of the meek and lowly Saviour in the
paths of holiness. In all life's varied relationships, she ex
hibited the characteristics of a disciple of the Lamb of God.
For years, it had been her lot to endure the severest trials,
and the deepest affliction. First, an affectionate and de
voted husband, with whom she had journeyed many years
on life's pilgrimage to the better country, was taken from
her. Then a beloved daughter was called away; and then
a darling son. And though at each of these strokes her
heart was made to bleed at every pore, yet the language of
her meek !submission was, "The will of the Lord be done..
And when her own bodily constitution, which had long been
feeble, was attacked and prostrated by disease, and she was
called to pass upon her bed many weary months of intense
pain, not a murmur escaped her lips. All was resignation
to her heavenly Father's will. In the lest days and hours
of her life, she suffered the most exerntiating agonies of
body; and also, at times, the most terrible spiritual con
flicts, occasioned by fearful assaults of the great adversary.
But overall these she was made victorious, and died In faith,
triumphing over death, through Him that died. And now,
with "the spirits of the just made perfect," she has gone
to make a part of "the general assembly, and Ohara of
the First Born, whose names are written in heaven."
Don—April 24th, in the 11th year of his age, Fr try,
eon of John Power, Esq., of Elizabeth, Allegheny County.
This remarkable boy was a child of affliction and much
bodily suffering, during the greater part of his short life.
He early evinced an extraordinary mental development.
His memory wee such, that he retained, with facility, every
thing he hoard or read. While in his fourth year, having
learned the alphabet and the simplest forme of spelling, from
bie mother and stators, he advanced, almos t at a bound; to reed
ing,with facility, the ordinary prose in spelling-books, and
other elementary works. In this singular feat, he one day
surprised his family, by the disoovery he made to them of his
unexpected progress. But, what is not usual, his other fac
ulties kept pace with his memory, in their rapid expansion.
His thirst for knoweledge was great. He devoured books of
every sort within hie reach, with a rapidity that seemed as
tonishing; and though he forgot nothing he read, he would
rapidly and repeatedly re-peruse any book that especially in
terested him. His first years. weresnarked by almost con.
etinSsickness Then',Sfier recovering a inesiitiM of health;
giving promise' of • extended lifts, he - again became thi v le
tini of a complication ofdiseases, which gra4ually wote , hie
little body to a shadow, and slowly carried him tothe grave.
But it wasdelightful to witness the consoling and Kipp art
ling power of religion In this dear boy. He gave evidence
that he was l'subject of Divine grace almost from his cradle.
'As his mind expabded, his meekness; humility, - patience,
and love of his - Saviour, were strongly mprked. His princi
pal delight was in reading the Scriptures, and the.,higher
elan of Sunday School books. He wm often observed to be
engaged in fervent prayer, when he thought the family had
retired, or were asleep. lie never complained during his
king illness, and wimetimes said; though his sufferings
were greet, that lie was thankful that hie disease was not in
hie head, as then he could not have read, which was his
great delight. He would menetimos beguile , the tedious
hours of hie suffering by writing down his thoughts. Hies
little compositions are all colored with Bible' history and
pious sentiments. He died with full assurance, aa he said,
that he would live its the presence of God. Hie p events and
friends have good reason to believe, that he is now rejoicing
.before the eternal throne. • CONNONIOI.72e.

The combination of remedial measures adopted by Dr.
Pitch and Dr. Sykes has been so amply tested, and so abund

theory, that its originators do not hesitate to assert, thi tby
their system, relief may be obtained in all cases not abso

By this plan of treatment, the advantage of Medicinal .
and Stbenoscopic Inhalations is add.d to that of appropri•

of the general evetent, -, and these with such mechanical
Means as the case may indicate; joined to proper attention
to,exerchre, diet, bathing, friction, &c., do, will not only
afford more or lees relief in almost all cases, but will effect
permanent cures in many cares, in which only partial and
temporary relief could be obtained from any one of the
above measures singly. 'But although many otherwise fatal
cases of consumption may. be thus relieved, there are still
many which have passed beyond hope; and those who are
in any way inclined to a disease so insidious, and eo fearful

Prom Professor Louie *gaud; : .
"The Geological Works of Hugh Miller have excited the
greatest • interest, not 'only amoeg sr:renege men; but alio
among general readers. There is in them a freshness of
conception a power of argumentation, a depth of thought,
a purity oifeeling. rarely met with in works of that char-
acter. . . . But what is in a great degree peculiar to our
author, Is the succestful combination of Christian'doatrines
with pure Scientific truths "
Prom Rev. Thomai Chalmers, D.D., ,
'• Since the death of Sir Walter Scott, he (Hugh Miller) is
the greatest Scotchntan that Is left."
. ,
Trom Sir Divid Brewster, LL.D., 7.11.13.:
Among .the • eminent students of the structure of the
'earth, Mr. Hugh Miller holds a lOfty 'place, not merely from
the dlecovory of new and undescribed • ormtnisms in Gm Old
: Red Sandstone, but from the accuracy and beauty of hisde
• leripticine, the purity and elegance Of his c.impreitions, and
the high tone of philosophy and religion which distiognishes
all his writings- . . . With' the .exception of Burns ' he
ca
'Uneduted genius which haii'done honor to Senthind raring
the last century has never displayed that mantel refinement,
and classical taste, and 1t tellectual energy, which mark all
the writings of our author."
Prom Bei. William Dockland, D.D., D.D.S.:
Dr. Dockland laid, at a meeting of the British Associa
tion, "I have never been so much astonished In my life, by
the powers of any man, as I haie been by the Geological
descriptions of Hugh Miller. That wonderialman describes
these ohjecta with a facility Which . makes me ashamed of
the comparative meaereness ano poverty of my own de
scriptions in the. • Bridgewater Treatise,' which cost me
hours and days of labor. I would give my left hand to pee
wee such , powers of description es this man ; and if it
pleases Providence to spare his useful life, he; if any one,
will certainly render science attractive and popular, and do
equal service to Theology and Geology."
From Rev. William Hanna, LL.D.: - •
" lie succeeded in placing his name In the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. His wefts ars char.
acteriaed by .a fine union of strict science, cheek diction,
arid enchanting description, which rises, not nt ,f req i iant l y,
•into the loftiest vein of poetry."
Brom Sir Roderick Murchison, P.R.S
Sir Roderick Murchison, In his address to the Geological
Society. "bailed the accession to their 'science of such a
writer," and said that "hie.work (Old Red Sand.tone,) is,
to a beginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."
