The Presbytery of St. Clairsville met at
Morristown, on the 16th of June, and was
opened with prayer by the Moderator. The
Rev. William. M. Ferguson, of the Presby
tery of Zanesville, preached the opening
sermon, from Rev. i : 5, 6.
The Rev. John B. Graham was installed
pastor of the church of Morristown.
Mr. S. Mahaffy preached the sermon from
1. Cor. ii : 16. Mr. James Alexander gave
the charge to the pastor, and Mr. W. M.
Grimes, the charge to the people.
The following resolution was passed, viz.:
"Resolved, That this Presbytery make
particular inquiry in reference to the pecu
niary means of candidates coming under our
care, and those already under our care ; and
that those having means of their own, be not
recommended to the Board; and that those
who are beneficiaries be enjoined to use
economy, that the money of the Church may
not be unnecessarily bestowed nor improper
ly expended.
" And that each student be required to
report himself at least once a year in refer
ence to his success in his studies, and the
state of his finances."
Mr. S. Mahaffy was appointed to hold a
communion in the church of Brownsville,
on the Third Sabbath of September.
JOHN MOFFAT, S. C.
The Presbyterian congregation at Born
merset, Pa., would take this method of
returning their most sincere and heartfelt
thanks, to those kind, Christian friends who
have assisted them in the erection of their
new church. The congregations at New
Alexandria, Rev. A. ',offence, pastor; at
Indiana, Rev. A. M'llwain, pastor; and the
congregation at Washington, Rev. J. I.
Brownson, pastor, have shown their benevo
lence in a substantial way, for which we
feel deeply grateful.
There is still a little more to be raised to
liquidate the debt, and we will consider it a
very great favor, indeed, if some of our good
friends will lend a helping hand.
We have perused a letter from President
Benson, dated Monrovia, April 13, 1857,
and a printed copy of a special message, ad
dressed by him to the Legislature of Liberia,
at an extra session, commenced April 6th.
The object of the latter is thus forcibly
stated—" The people of the State of Mary
land, in Liberia, having unanimously voted
in favor of annexation as a county to the
Republic of Liberia, have made a formal ap
plication for admission, accompanied by a
request to have the name of their county
changed from the county of Palmas, as was
first requested by them, to the county of
Maryland." Great benefits must arise to
both governments by this amalagamation.
The extent of the Liberian line of sea coast
will be extended about one hundred and_
fifty miles, including several important trad
ing ports.
Now, that Cape Palmas is united on the
South, if Sierra Leone could be annexed on
the North, an unbroken seaboard front of
over seven hundred miles would be secured
to the young African Republic. Should a
monthly line of steam propellers be institu
ted from Norfolk to Monrovia, capable of
furnishing comfortable passage to five thou
sand respectable people of color every year,
Liberia would rapidly grow in numbers and
in importance. Her citizens would soon be
felt and respected in , the commercial world.
The confederation just inaugurated, goes to
show that Liberia will model the political
institution of the great continent upon whose
borders it has been successfully established.
What liberty has been and is, to America,
it is and will be, to Africa.—Public Ledger.
A new project is mentioned" as in course
of formation in London for opening up
Central Africa as a mart for the sale of the
British cheap class of manufactured goods.
The suggestion comes from Dr. Livingston,
the African traveler. The object of the
Company, besides creating a market for the
manufactured article, embraces the pro
duction of the raw material. Active efforts
will be made to promote the cultivation of
Cotton.
The French are extending their domin
ion in Africa. They have lately seized up
on the important Territory of Dekker, in
Senegal. While the French are establish
ing a civilized and enlightened empire in
North Africa, the British are accomplishing
the same great work in South Africa, and
the Liberians on the West, are penetrating
the interior from that point.

Kansas.
The Territorial Convention to form a State
Constitution, must continue to be an object of
great interest to Kansas in particular, and to the
States generally. What kind of new partner are
we to have in the political fraternity? What
will be the principles maintained, and the con
duct pursued? What kind of Congressmen and
Senators will be sent to rule the nation, of which
we all are members—perhaps to give the casting
vote in the enactment of the most important laws?
What kind of home is Kansas, the large and fer
tile, to afford to our sons, and daughters, and
neighbors, who resort to her borders Every
citizen ha's a deep interest in the question which
is now being solved. The special correspondent
of the New York Times, gives an apparently in.
telligent letter. The following are extracts :
We have already heard of the election of twen
ty-five delegates to the Convention, all pledged
to submit the Constitution to a popular vote.
Indeed, the people of all parties in the territory
. are well nigh unanimous on that question, and it
is believed that the vote on the subject in the
Convention will be virtually unanimous. The
plan of presenting the subject, which seems to
meet most general favor, is this: to make a Con
stitution ignoring the slavery question two ccelo,
and the best possible in other respects, and sub
mit that to a vote of the people; simultaneously
with that to submit a separate clause prohibiting
slavery from Kansas, to be voted on separately by
the people, and thus put the matter finally, defi
nitely, and, please God, eternally at rest. -
As one of the most singular indications of the
recent change in popular feeling in regard to Kan
sas, I may state the fact that nearly every Mis
souri newspaper which I have seen (and I believe
I have seen most of them) and, what is stranger
still, every one of those from the Kansas border,
has strongly indorsed Governor Walker's inau
gural, and expressed its determination to lend all
its influence to support his policy, and promote
his views. From this fact, as well as from the
knowledge I have been able to gather from con
siderable personal intercourse with the Missou
rians themselves, I am left no room to doubt that
henceforward a Missouri vote will never be cast
in Kansas.
The Constitution, I hope, will be a good one,
and if so, I believe it will be adopted. If all the
people vote, of which I entertain little doubt,
Kansas will be made a free State by an overwhel
ming majority, and that result will be reached
not by Northern votes alone, but, strange to say,
by the votes of numerous Southern settlers,
whose experience and observation have shown
them that the idea of making Kansas a slave
State is an absurdity.
The New Jersey Pearl Fisheries.
For the last few months we have seen, in our
exchanges, many statements of the New Jersey.
Pearl • Fisheries, principally at Patterson and
within a radius of some twenty miles. Large
numbers, and some of great value, were being
spoken of. One worth $25,000 was said to have
been cooked by a shoemaker for his breakfast,
and consequently rendered valueless, it being
embedded in its native clam. We were a
little incredulous, and hence did not trouble Our
readers with reports of the wonders. We have,
however, reason to believe that there is some
little truth at the foundation of the matter. A
few pearls hove been found, of a :very moderate
value ; but the search for them is an unremunera
tive business. Of ten thousand persons who
tried the experiment, very briefly however, only
. fifty found pearls of sufficient value to compen
sate them. A pearl the size of a pea, is said to
be found in about one out of seven or eight thou
sand muscles, and about seventy to a hundred
muscles may be found in a day, by hard labor,
and the pearl may be worth fifteen dollars, and
possibly fifty dollars. But the supply of muscles
in the Jersey brooks is very limited. Hence
neither the dwellers in and around Patterson,
nor the country generally, is to be enriched by
the New Jersey Pearl Fisheries. And, happily,
Jerseymen know a better business than that of
seeking after so uncertain a gain.
Walker the Fillibuster.
This individual has obtained much notoriety,
but not of that character which will fire the am
bition of America's truly noble-minded youth.
The really elevated mind scorns plunder and op
pression, and wantonness in bloodshedding. Walk
er's designs upon Lower California, and upon
Nicaragua, we always regarded as most iniqui
one ; and the connivance of our Government at
his departure from our shores with armed bands
and munitions of war, and at the successive ship
ments of recruits and supplies, was, by no means,
exalting to our National Character.
Since his defeat and return, his demerits have
been more frequently spoken of, than formerly.
In a few places, and specially in New York, he
has met with some marks of respect, but mostly
he has been permitted to pass along without
much observation. Many thousands of our coun
trymen, as well as of the Central Americans, have
fallen by his means. Of the few hundreds of his
men, who have lived to return, many seem to
have no great respect for his military abilities,
and attribute to him a great want of the feelings
of humanity.
Oskaloosa
This flourishing town, in Southern lowa, con
tains a population of three thousand five hun
dred, and is rapidly increasing. The Presby
terian churob, forty feet by sixty, is filled, and
an enlargement needed. A railroad from Daven
port will be completed in about a year. A Synod.
idol College is talked of.' ' ' '
Singular though it may seem, yet it appears to
be a fact, the United States are supplying Great
Britain with armor. Colt's pistols are very coin-
mon in the British army. And now great guns
are being sent over the water.
" The Robena, an American freight-ship, arrived
at Woolwich Arsenal on Saturday, having on
hoard six breech•loading guns. manufactured in
New York by order of the British Government.
Tn eonQequence of rho enormous weight of these
guns—namely, seventeen tons each—the vessel
was ordered to discharge in the East India Docks.
The guns are thence totbe conveyed to Woolwich
in lighter barges, and will be landed on the
wharf."
CINCINNATI!, July 3.—The most disastrous and
destructive fire, since the organization of the
steam fire department, occurred last night. The
fire broke out in the engine room of Johnson,
Meader & Co.
It communicated to the adjoining eight story
brick building and two frame structures owned
by the same firm, all of which were destroyed.
A number of buildings in the - vicinity were in.
jured more or less.
Three hundred men are thrown out of employ-
Ment; one hundred and seventy-five of whom
riere in the employ of Johnston, - Meader & Co.,
and one hundred and twenty-five of Reson. Sev
eral persons were injured by the falling of the
walls.
A number of the most prominent business firms
of Philadelphia, give notice that application will
be made to the next Legislature of Pennsylvania
for the enactment of a general banking law, sim
ilar to that of the State of New York, with such
modifications as an experience of nearly twenty
years in that State may suggest, as essential to the
perfect working of the system—the notes to be
payable on demand, and secured by deposit of
ample collateral security, limited to the loans of
this State and of the United States, being such as
are esteemed by all the Court's proper invest
ments for trust funds in their custody; also by
individual liability of stockholders; that the busi
ness of banking may be safely left free to the in
stincts of , capital as any other business and that
under such system, banks will be established only
at points where there is legitimate demand for
them. The applicants say: "It is hoped the
application will receive the favorable consideration
of an intelligent Legislature, and that the enact
ment of such a law, dispensing with the granting
of special privileges to banking institutions, will
be the commencement as well of a new era in our
legislation, as of the development of the great
agricultural, mineral, manufacturing ,and com
mercial interests of the State."
H. CHILDS, Treasurer
RINFI 30.—The Postmaster-General, with the
approbation of the President, has selected the
following route for conveying the overland mail
to California, namely, beginning at St. Louis and
Memphis, on the Mississippi River; thence form
ing a junction at Little Rook, Arkansas; thence
in the direction of Preston to the Rio Grande, at
the most suitable crossing of that river to Fort
Fillmore or Donna Anna; thence along the New
Road, now being made under direction of the
Secretary of the Interior to Fort ,Yana ; thence
by the best passes through' the best valleys for
safe and expeditious staging to San Francisco.
The Postmaster-General, with the approba
tion of the President, has given the ; contract to
John Butterfield, William B. Dinsmore, William
G. Fargo, James V. P. Gardner„ Marquis S.
Kenyon and Alexander Holland, of New York,
and Hamilton Spencer, of Illinois, it the price of
five hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars for
semi-weekly service, they being the lowest bid
ders, and as they will perform four hundred miles
more service than the other bidders proposed.
JULY I.—The net amount in the United
States Treasury, subject to draft, is $20,000,000;
of which amount, in Boston there is nearly three
millions ; in New York more than nine millions ;
in St. Louis, nearly a million ; in Philadelphia,
over two millions ; in New Orleans, upwards of
three millions, and in San Francisco, a million
and a half.
THE EXPEDITION TO lITAH.—The military force
destined for Utah, will leave Fort Leavenworth on
the 15th of July, and reach the military reserve,
forty miles from Salt Lake City, about the 16th
of October, in sufficient time to make arrange
ments for their Winter quarters. Supplies of beef
cattle for the army have been ordered to that
post, in contemplation of a Winter residence.
From these facts it is apparent that nothing will
be done this season against the Mormons, the
idea being to have everything in readiness to com
mence operations next Spring.
In all ages and among almost all tribes of men,
a beautiful head of hair has been, and still is, re
garded as the fairest ornament of the fairest
works of the Creator. The patrician dames and
damsels of ancient and modern Rome bestowed
that attention upon the hair which has added the
crowning.beauty to the chef d'cevre of the sculptor
and the painter, and no lady, and indeed no gen—
tleman of modern times is unmindful of this ex—
quisite shield and lovely ornament of the race.
To maiden beauty it is the finishing touch ; to
manhood it is the symbol and warrant of strength
and nobility, to-day as in the days of the patri—
archs; indeed, such it always has been and
always will be.
But unable as we are to withstand the ills of
time and life, it often happens that through dis
ease and: misfortune we become gray in early life,
and bald before we reach the full grace of woman
hood or the full stature of manhood. Then it is
that however much we may venerate the gray
locks and reverence the wisdom of bald heads
among the honored remnants of the generation of
three score and ten ; we know that our gray hairs
are no more venerable than beautiful; while our
bald heads are neither the one nor the other,
but,
on the contrary, are quite the reverse of both,
and impose upon us many social and sanitary dis
advantages and discomforts.
Then it is that the man who can relieve us of
the misfortune, and restore the fleecy looks to
their original color and growth becomes a real
friend and benefactor, by the force of this single
exhibition of his genius and skill. And much as
we are opposed to empiricism, and empiric, as we
instinctively regard the pretensions of every one
proposing to accomplish such a miraculous work,
until we have seen the triumph of his undertak
ing : we nevertheless esteem it a pleasure, resting
upon our absolute knowledge of its merits,• to
recommend Professor Wood's Hair Restorative as
the best article of the kind with which we are
acquainted, and one which has done, under our
own observation, all that It claims—and it claims
everything implied in its name.
This article, in short, will restore gray hair to
its original color, and add to its growth and
beauty wherever any blight or disease has
checked that growth, or marred that beauty.
This has been proven in our own family within a
few weeks, and in numerous other cases related
to us, without the knowledge of the proprietor.
We have only to add, that this most valuable
article is for sale by the proprietor, at No. 312
Broadway.—New York News. Sold by all Drug

EAST INDIA COTTON NOB ABIEB:10&—The Liver
pool Times states that several hundred bales of
East India cotton have been entered at that port
to be shipped to New York. This appears to be
like sending coals to New Castle ; but this cotton
is so very coarse that we have no American cot
ton like it, either in poverty of quality or low
ness of price ; and it is no doubt exported by way
of experiment, for making cheap cotton cord, or
coarse bagging.
Near ono hundred thousand pounds of wool was
parchased in Cadiz, Ohio, during the past week,
at prices ranging from forty-five to fifty-five cents
per pound.
EARN/OMAN'S ENTIRE STOOK. O' MEN AND Bow
As it is intended to improve and enlarge our Store-Room
late in July, the whole stock of Gents' and Boys' Clothing,
Famishing Gonda, Ac., now on hands, will be offered at
prices much below the regular rates, with a view of closing
out the whole before commencing the improvements. This,
it will be observed, is not a mere pretext to get rid of old
goods, as everything offered will be found both new and
fashionable. But the contemplated alterations would
doubtless deface the stock; and to obviate this, it is pro
posed to clear out the whole at very low rates, and open
the Fall trade with an assortment entirely new.
A fine variety of Piece ,Goods, for custom work exclu

(rM
inr-Salos Commenced TCIiSDAY, JUNE 30,1857. -at
„foreign fltriligence.
The steamer Columbia arrived at New York, on
the 6th instant, with Liverpool dates to the 24th
ult. We give a summary of the leading news:—
Great Britatst.
The United States steam frigate ./1 iagara arrived
at. Liverpool on the 2d, and the shipment of the
cable commenced forthwith.
The weather has been favorable for the crops.
In the House of Lords, on Monday, the Lord
Chancellor stated that the opinion of the Law
Officer of the Crown had not yet been taken in re
ference to the legality of the opium trade in India
and China.
Lord Panmure, in reply to the question why
the contract for the manufacture of several guns
of large calibre had been intrusted to Americans,
stated that an American gentleman, of the name
of Eastbam, had introduced an improvement into
the manufacture of heavy pieces of ordnance,
and had taken out a patent. The value of the
improvement has been inquired into
,by a select
committee, which had reported favorably, and in
duced the Government to enter into a contract
with Eastham to supply six guns of large calibre,
and as the invention was protected by patent, the
patentee had a right to execute the contract
where he pleased.
In the Commons Mr. South moved the following
resolution. That in the opinion of the House it
is expedient that Parliament shall direct im
mediate attention to the beet mode of removing
the obstacles which impede the application of
British capital and skill to the improvement of
the productive powers of India. He followed up
the resolution with a speech principally advocat,
ing the growth of cotton in India. He states
that the province of Candish alone, was capable of
growing more cotton than was now produced by
the United States, and there was plenty of Eng
lish capital available to promote the cultivation,
if a guarantee were given, that proper facilities
would be afforded by international improvements,
and better government.
It is the boast of parliamentary practice, that
the forms of procedure have been so minutely and
carefully elaborated through the course of cen
turies as to render it impossible that any incident
should occur for which a precedent could not be
found. The exception is rare, we admit; but it
occurred in a very marked manner . on Friday
night. Mr. Wilson, the Secretary to the Trea
sury, first threw the legislative machine out of its
well-worn grooves by volunteering a general view
of the great increase that has taken place of late
years in all , parts of the civil service. The state
ment, which embraced all subjects, from the
draining of St. James's-park to the million vote
for education, was but too interesting, and the
example was irresistible. Instead of settling
down to the discussion of one partionlar vote, the
members insisted on wandering from one, question
to another till motions, amendments, and the form
of putting one amendment before another, became
so mixed up in confusion, that, as the only means
of extrication, the Chairman was compelled to re
port progress.
On Monday, the Oaths Bill went through com
mittee. The amendment intended to exclude, the
Jews was lost by a majority of 140 votes, in a
House of nearly 650 members. This conclusive
ly settles the question, so far as the House of
Commons is concerned.
The discussion of this Bill has brought out in a
more conspicuous manner than' before, the de
signs of the Roman Catholics of the country, to
disturb the settlement which was artanged by the
Emancipation Act. The Bill proposes one oath
to be taken by members of Parliament of all de
nominations, except Roman Catholics. To this
they plausibly object that it is hard they should
be thus singled out from all other members by a
separate oath, and they propose so to modify it
that one oath may be taken by members of all de
nominations. The only obstacle that exists to all
classes taking the same oath, is the protest em
bodied in the general oath on behalf of the suprem
acy of the Crown of England, and her indepen
dence, temporal and spiritual, of all foreign
powers. That is a protest which no Protestant
—we had almost said no Englishman—will be
willing to forego.
F Ittlee•
Shortly previous to the election for Representa
tives, a writer, from Paris, thus expresses him
self relative to the posting of candidates :
We have not yet seen a single name of an oppo
sition candidate on the walls. Not that it is open
ly forbidden; the dogs have perfect freedom to
run about, so long as they are muzzled. Never
was a country in so singular a position. The
Government, with the Emperor at its head, not
only recommends candidates to the country, but
throws its whole weight of, influence, its whole
mass of cringing officials, its whole power of in
timidation, into its side of the balance; it heaps
up every imaginable obstacle, tightens the cords,
shortens the beam, and then cries, 4, Never was
universal sufferage more free, nor its exercise
more equitable. You are at perfect liberty to
make use.of the opposite scale."
Of female influence, in religions matters, the
same writer says :
The Capuchins, the Dominicans, the Marists,
and all the squadrons of the monkish army have
their protectresses. Not satisfied with directing
the female convents, the girls' workrooms, the in
numerable sisterhoods which swarm on all sides,
our monks, black, white, grey, brown, blue, Sr.c.,
&c., are making numerous conquests among the
women of the world, who never doff their ball
dress except to receive the communion. In the
feminine race, monk-mania makes daily frightful
progress; the clergy reign, but women govern re
ligion. It is painful to see our country invaded
by a crowd of monks whose habit and ideas shock
the spirit of our time. This mania causes the
Church herself to run the greatest danger!
Alluding to the popular clamor in Belgium, by
which a scheme of the Papal priests was defeated,
he remarks :
Truly, were we free as in Belgium, our people
would do as the Belgians ; we read in one of
their papers, "The cries unanimously uttered by
the crowd during three days were principally
these: Down with the priests! Down with the
convents! Down with the Capuchins and all re
ligious orders! The people had found an ex
pression full of originality to express their feel
ing : Down with the skull-cap ! In all quarters
all classes of society joined in it, officials, mer
chants, landholders. burghers, workmen young
men, and old men, and even women. The skull
cap (la Calotte) admirably personifies the clergy
in the eyes of the msisses. ' One of our French
journals says, alluding to the same subject:
" The dissension in Belgium is not on political or
governmental questions, but on the clerical ques
tion; it is the political influence of the clergy;
shall the clergy be a state within a state swaying
the civil power, or shall, on the contrary, the
clergy be independent spiritually, and submit in
temporal things to the lay authorities? This is
a question of life or death for Belgium, as it is
for all nations."
Latest
By the Arabia, three days' later news is re
ceived. The Jewish oath Bill has passed the
House of Commons by a large majority. The
opponents of the Government, in France, have
elected but half a dozen members to the Legisla
ture.

DIED-At her residence, near Cumberland,
Guernsey County, Ohio, on the 17th of June,
Mrs. NANCY ALLISON, in the 30th year of her age.
She sought the Lord early, remembering her
Creator in the days of her youth. Possessing
much energy of character and Christian forti
tude, she patiently met and bore the trials and
perplexities of life ; and having her Christian
armor bright, she grappled with the " King of
Terrors" without fear, and came off conqueror,
and more than conqueror, through him that loved
her, and gave himself for her. She sleeps in
Jesus. And when the resurrection morn shall
dawn, and the trump of the Archangel shall
wake the dead, she will come forth to receive a
crown of life, and be taken up to those mansions
of glory which are prepared for all the followers
of the Lamb." K.
Diun—At his residence, Muncy, Lyeoming
County, Pa., Mr. JOHN Seams, in the 60th year
of his age.
Mr. Sample became a communing member of
the Presbyterian Church early in life. At the
age of twenty-eight, he was ordained and in
stalled an elder in the Shaver's Creek Presbyte
rian church, Huntingdon County, Pa., and in
four different churches, within the bounds of
which he has successively resided, he was called
by the people to serve his Master in the office of
Ruling Elder. Mr. Sample was a devoted Chris
tian, a man of earnest prayer, and one who
always took a lively interest in all that pertained
to the prosperity of the Church. As a ruler, he
was always ready to co-operate with his pastor
and brethren in the eldership, in carrying for
ward every good work. It is speaking much to his
praise to state the fact, that his feelings were all
enlisted in favor of that wholesome discipline
which is so necessary for the preservation of the
peace and purity of the Church. He was long
an active laborer in the Sabbath School, and was
,also a zealous promoter of the cause of tem
perance. The prayer-meeting, as well as the
'sanctuary, was to him the loved place of sweet
communion with God. Mr. Sample's disease was
hemorrhage of the stomach, from which he
suffered about two months. Soon after his attack
he wrote to his son, the Rev. Robert F. Sample,
of Bedford, Pa., that he did not expect to re
cover. That son, in a letter to the writer of this
notice, furnished some very interesting particu
lars concerning the closing scene of his father's
life. He says: "For two weeks before his
death, he very often expressed a desire to depart
and be with Christ. He said he did not wish to
have his life extended, but left the issue with
God, who would do right. His views of Christ
and heaven were remarkably lively and attrac
tive, so that he waited impatiently the coming of
, the Lord. The morning before he died, he spoke
with regret of this, his impatience; he said he
ought to wait and suffer, until the Lord saw fit to
remove him; and immediately added, all the days
of my appointed time will I wait, till my change
come. He often spoke of the goodness of the
Lord; .the preciousness of Christ; the safety of
those who had at the foundation of their hopes
the Rock of Ages ; and especially of the pre
ciousness of the promises of a Saviour--all of
which are yea and amen, and so wonderfully
adapted to every condition of life. He wondered
that he had ever doubted Christ, since first he
felt a Saviour's love ; but he added, we carry
with us an evil heart of unbelief, even to the
grave. The last words he uttered, , with sufficient
distinctness to be understood, were "All will be
well ; come, Lord Jesus, come quickly." He
gently fell asleep in Jesus, without a groan, a
sigh, a struggle;'and as quietly and , peacefully as
the sun then sinking to its rest below the Western
hills, he passed into the shadowy vale." In a
letter to the writer, commenced on his sick bed,
and left unfinished, he related an interesting fact,
Which he said was known then to no person
living. " When Robert F."—the minister men
tioned above—" was four years of age, he was
taken dangerously ill of inflammatory 'croup, and
his case was pronounced hopeless. I went to my
closet, then my tan-house, to plead with God on
behalf of my boy." He then goes on to state
that then and there he entered into a solemn en
gagement with the Lord to train up that boy for
the Gospel ministry, if God would spare his child
and accept the offering. The prayer was heard,
the promise was faithfully kept, and the Church
of Christ is now enjoying the faithful and suc
cessful labors of that son, devoted to God So early
in life.
Mr. Sample, as*a shock of corn fully ripe, has
been gathered into the garner of the Lord ; hav
ing done a good work for the Church in his life,
and in his death left behind another testimony of
the comforting influence of the Christian religion
in that trying hour. J.S.

From Professor Louis &gassiz :
"The Geological Works or Hugh Miller have excited the
greatest interest, not only among scientific melt, but also
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 °bar
mier. . . . But what Is In a great degree peculiar to our
author, is the succesiful combluation of Christian doctrines
with pure scientific truths "
From Rev- Thomas Chalmers, A.D., LL.D.:
Since the death of Sir Walter Scott, he (Hugh Miller) Is
the greatest Scotchman that is left."
From Sir David Brewster, LL.D., F.H.8.:
" Among the eminent students of the structure of the
earth, Mr. Hugh Miller holds a lofty place, not merely from
the discovery of new and undescribed organisms in the Old
Red Sandstone, but from the accuracy and beauty of hie de
acriptiong the purity and elegance of his compositions, and
the high tone of philosophy andreligion which distinguishes
all his writings. . . . With the exception of Burns, the
uneducated genius which has done honor to Scotland during
the last century has never displayed that mental refinement,
and slimiest taste, and tellectual energy, which mark all
the writings of our author."
From Rev. William Buckland, D.D., F.R.8.:
Dr. Buckland *aid, 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 have been by the Geological
descriptions of Rugh Miller. That wonderfulman deseribes
these objects with a facility which makes me ashamed of
the comparative meagreneas and poverty of my own de
scriptions in the r Bridgewater Treatise, which cost me
hours and days of labor. I would give my left hand to pos•
sees such powers of description as this man; and if it
plasma Providence to spare Me useful life, he, if any one,
will certainly render science attractive and popular, and do
equal service to Theology and Geology."
Pram Rev. William Hanna, LL.D.:
' "He succeeded in placing his name in the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. His works are char.
acterised by a fine union of strict science, classic diction,
and enchanting description, which rises, not unfrequently,
into the loftiest vein of poetry."
Prom Sir Roderick Murchison, F.R.B :
Sir Roderick Murchison, in his address to the Geological
Society, "hailed the accession to their science of such a
writer," and said that "his work (Old Red Santhtone,) is,
to &beginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."
