'The Theological Seminary of the North-
West.
MR. Entrott.:—l see in your issue of the
' l 7th of June, an article, ,ned "lane
thou," on which, with your kind per m i t :.
:4 ion ' I would like to say a few words. I
will be as brief as possible. Ido not wish
to co ntrovert all tlot he sap with which I
do not agree; hut to seize the one idea
that appears to have been the fruitful seed
of all he offers. That one idea, in my l an .
n ppears to be, that it is not
gnaw), not his,
desirable to have soother Theological Semi
nary in the West, lest it should take some
students away from Allegheny. No doubt
h e wou ld hesitate long before enunciating
his feelings in this plain way; but this
seems to me the honest interpretation of
what he says. If this be so, and the pub
lic perceive it to be so, then it will not re
quire many words to set aside all his rea
soning. When advocacy of any opinion
can be traced to personal or sectional selfish
ness, it has not much weight, especially
when the ground taken is against a new
enterprise. Those who advocate a sectional
enterprise know their own wants, and are
entitled to have them duly considered by
other people; but those who oppose that
same enterprise, because they think it may
lessen the consequence of some other lo
cality, and that locality their own, ought to
make a convincing case; for they are not
entitled to sympathy, and stand in the un
enviable attitude of denying wants that
others feel. But let us examine the argu
ments of Melancthon.
First. There are too many Seminaries
already, and to add another is unwise
and wrong. Now, I will not deny that
probably the Seminaries in Virginia and
South Carolina might be united with advan
tage ; but the Synods interested in those
Seminaries know best their own wants,
wishes, and business; and it is simply an
impertinence for "Melancthon " in Penn.
Sylvania, and for me in the West, to say
what they ought to do. When they act
according to their best judgment, it is at
least decorous for us to withhold expressions
of discontent. But M. knows very well
that what he says on this subject will have
no influence on those Seminaries; and he
aims it all at our proposed Seminary in the
North-West. Now, in what he says about
there being too many Seminaries, there are
two things specially worthy of notice.
The present Seminaries, he says, can well
accommodate all the students of the Church.
No doubt all could be taken into the classes.
But any one who knows the facts is aware,
that the same influence cannot be exerted
over a large number of students, in any one
institution, that is felt where a smaller num
ber is collected together. At Princeton,
even now, with not many over a hundred at
any time, the Professors do not know much
of; probably, the larger number of their
students, except what they learn in class.
It is impossible for three or four :Professors
to cultivate social intimacy with a hundred
students. We all remember the remark of
Dr. Breekinridge in the last Assembly, that
he did not wish to have so many students
that he could not so know them all, that
when one did any thing wrong, he could lay
his hand on him with kind, paternal admo
nition. This is wise. Dr. 13. uttered words
then, the deep philosophy of which most
men cannot perceive. But if all could be
properly accommodated and eared for at
present, is there to be no increase ? And
as to our field especially, Colleges are grow
ing up; new Presbyteries and Synods are
making their appearance upon our Roll;
churches are organized every week; our
border is extending with rapidity unparal
leled; cities are growing larger than Pitts
burgh, which were mere villages when M.
last noticed their statistics, and which he
probably thinks of as villages now. Our
Seminary will not get fully into operation,
if God favors us up to our highest hopes,
before students will be coming to it from
inconvenient distances Westward. We
shall have our seventy-five or a hundred
students here in five years, without in the
least hindering Allegheny and Danville froth
having each as many. That is as many as
any one ought to have.
M. seems to take it for granted that our
Seminary is to be a mean one. We hope
not. There is wealth enough in this region
to build and endow it well; and we mean
to persevere till we see it done. We shall
not take any thing away from other Semina
ries. Allegheny is endowed; or so nearly
complete in this respect, that three zealous
friends might do all that is necessary for it.
Danville has prospered lately, and there is
not the smallest doubt but that all she needs
will be readily obtained. M. need not fear
for us. We will not disgrace the Presbyte
rian Chuich by casting on her hands a
starveling.
Second. The number of ministers em
ployed in so many Seminaries is often rep
resented as an evil. It is spoken of by M.
us if some, or most of them, were a dead
loss to the " preaching force of the minis
try." This may be doubted. A Church
as large as ours needs as many officers of
this kind as she has, or is likely to have.
No one can estimate the benefit to the whole
ministry arising from there being here and
there a few men together, who have °Qua
sion to be more learned than the great body
of the ministry. Their influence is power
ful and good—far more powerful than if the
same men were placed in detached charges.
And their employments and opportunities
lead them to become learned in some direc
tions that but few of the pastors of churches
usually move in; and this learning it is im
portant should be in the Church. Then,
many of our ministers are led to strive to fit
themselves for such a place as a Professor's
Chair; a course that makes them all the
more able preachers. Professors also preach.
Perhaps they sometimes preach quite as
much as many that grumble about them.
In short, they are useful in their way ; they
are needed as a class; and twenty out of
two thousand four hundred, are not too
many.
Third. The number of students will be
increased by the building of the Chicago
Seminary. M. says he does not believe it.
He has a whole paragraph, the meaning of 11
which is, that since God alone calls and
spiritually prepares men for the ministry,
the new Seminary will not cause any more
to study for the ministry. If this argument
proves any thing, it proves that we might as
well not use means at all. I will not own
that I less " stoutly maintain" the ordinary
doctrines of Calvinism on this matter, than
he does; and yet I believe that the more
faithfully and earnestly a Church works, the
more success she will have ; and the more
schools, colleges, and seminaries she builds
and endows, the more ministers she will
have. To argue from the Divine Sover
eignty and the necessity of the Holy Spirit,
against the Chicago Seminary, is to argue
against any Seminary. Doubtless none
would be necessary, if it were not God's
plan to work by means.
Fourth. What reason has a friend of
Allegheny to oppose the new Seminary ?
Does he think to do Allegheny a favor by
dant', so Many of us out here are sons of
Allegheny, and our tongues will blister
rather than utter a word against her. In
judicious friends may do her mere harm
than we are likely to do. If our churches
in the North-West once get the idea that
Allegheny Seminary herself wishes to keep
her embryo sister from being born, in order
that she may gain a monopoly of influence,
then, indeed, we shall begin to feel an
alienation from the "a/. initio nursling of a
special Providence," that we do not feel
now. ONE OUT WEST.

Sudden Death of a Missionary
MR. EDITOR :—The Presbytery of Win
' nebago were just closing a pleasant meeting
at Winniconne, Wis., on the 27th ult.,
when we were startled by the intelligence of
the sudden death of on a of our brethren.
Rev. William Reid, missionary at Rosedale
and Fox Lake, while on his way to the
meeting of Presbytery, and riding alone in
his buggy near the village of Ripon, was
suddenly stricken down by paralysis, and
died in a short time, in the midst of
strangers. Providentially, the Rev. D. C.
Lyon, the missionary agent of our Synod,
passing the place the next day, was called
in, identified the body, and attended his t
funeral, and then came on to Presbytery
with the mournful intelligence.
Rev. Reuben Smith and Rev. G. C. Heck;
i
man were appointed a Committee to prep*
a suitable minute on the subject, who sub
sequently reported the following recital and
resolutions, which were adopted : lt
Rev. William Reid was a native of Scot
land, educated at Edinburgh, and a student
in Theology with Dr. Chalmers. He was -
licensed to preach the Gospel by the Pres
bytery of Dunblane in 1848, and was re
ceived by our Presbytery in 1854. He was
ordained to the full work of the Gospel min
istry in February, 1856, and was installed as
pastor of the church at Rosedale, with great
promise of usefulness, in May last. So
short has been his course among us, and so
soon have our hopes and those of his people
been cut off; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of our
brother Reid, this Presbytery have lost a
worthy and beloved member, and have rea
son to deplore his removal, as that of a
promising and much needed fellow-laborer.
He had been but a short time among us,
but was regarded, by all who had made his
acquaintance, as a man of pure and highly
Christian character, an affectionate heart, a
well balanoed and educated mind, respecta
ble talents, and great industry and devoted
ness in the work of his holy profession.
Resolved, That in this sudden and impres
sive bereavement, we feel more than usually
admonished . of the uncertainty and brief
duration of ministerial life, and would pray
not only that we may be excited to do more
diligently what our hands find to do while
the day lasteth, but that it may please God
to raise up other laborers to our aid while
our ranks are thus thinning by death.
Resolved, That we offer our deep condo
lence to the bereaved friends of our de
parted brother, and particularly to the
churches and congregations from whom he
has been thus suddenly removed.
Resolved, That a copy of this Minute
be forwarded to the churches and congrega
tions of brother Reid, to his friends, and to
the religious press.

the Young Men's Bible Society, the sub
joined preamble and resolutions were unan
mously adopted :
WHEREAS, It has pleased God, in his in
scrutible Providence to remove from a sphere
of usefulness and activity here to his rest
above, his faithful servant, JAMES A. IRWIN,
late Librarian of the Young Men's Bible So
ciety of Pittsburgh,
Resolved, That the Board of Managers of
this society, while we would recognize the
hand of a kind Father in this afflictive dis
pensation, realize the sad loss which has
befallen us, in the removal, by death, of an
ever-zealous and faithful co-laborer in the
Bible cause, whose prudence and experience
had rendered him almost a necessity to the
Board, and whose social and Christian vir
tues had warmly attached him to each of its
members.
Resolved, That the Church in
,General
sustains a severe loss in the decease of our
brother, but particularly do we sympathize
with that branch of the Church of which he
was a member.
Resolved, That we tender to his family
and immediate circle of friends, our warmest
sympathies in this their sorrowful bereave
ment, and commend them to his God and our
God as the source of solace and comfort un
der this their deep affliction.
Resolved, That a copy of the above rem
lutions be enclosed by the Secretary of the
Board, to the family of the deceased.

Trial for Murder
Our County Courtwas occupied all of last week,
and much of the preceding, in the trial of Char
lotte Jones, Henry Fife, and Monroe Stewart, for
the murder of the 'Wilson family, at McKeesport.
The testimony was circumstantial, but conclusive.
The pleadings of the lawyers were learned and
ingenious, and the Charge of Judge 'McClure was
founded on the principles of justice and protec
tive of the life and property of peaceful citizens.
The jury, after a short deliberation, brought in
a verdict of GUILTY of murder in the first degree,
against each of the accused.
The want of a stern fidelity in the administra
tion of law, has encouraged the wicked to
great boldness in their deeds of iniquity. We
trust that there is a wholesome change taking
place in the judgment of the humane. Events
are proving to them, that true humanity demands
that the innocent, the feeble, and the peaceful
shall be protected; and that a rigorous adminis
tration of righteous laws against wicked trans
gressors, is indispensable.
The Crops.
Harvesting has commenced, in our vicinity, and
we hear very favorable reports of the great yield.
1: Oar exchanges also speak of a great abundance,
and of excellent quality. The weather is delight
' fel ; well adapted to perfect the ripening of the
grain, and to its ingathering.
The, New York Riots.
Theee disgraceful scenes continue, showing a
lamentable defect in the City government. The
wicked seem to be, or to have . been, in power, and
hence the people mourn. Information embracing
Monday night, 13th, states that quietness had
not been secured.
Arkansas.
This is regarded as one of the new States. A
few historical facts regarding it may possess in
terest. We quote from the North, American:
Arkansas, for a long time, bore an unenviable
reputation throughout the Union. It was thought
to be composed of alternate strips, of desert and
swamp, while the population was regarded as the
refuse of the civilized world., outlaws of every
grade,
whose amusements in their new home con
sisted of murder, robbery, lynching, and• other
mildly expressive demonstrations of feeling.
With such a character abroad, it is no wonder
that neglect became the lot of Arkansas.
It was organized as a territory in the year 1810,
but it took seventeen years to gather the requisite
number of inhabitants to ensure its admission as
a State, which event occurred in the year 1836.
And yet Arkansas is one of the oldest settled dis
tricts in America. It takes its name from a post
founded in it in the year 1685, by the French, at a
time when it was part of the province of Louisi
ana. This was only three years after William
Penn began the settlement of Pennsylvania. The
progress of the territory was so slow that in the
year 1820, or 135 years after the founding of.the
firstsettlement, Arkansas, according to the United
States census, contained only 14,278 inhabitants.
Then, however it took a start. In 1830 it had an
aggregate of 30,388 souls; in 1840 it had reach
ed 97,574 ; in 1850 it had expanded to 209,877 ;
and in 1854, our last account, the population
atood 253.117.
Arkansas has measurably recovered from the
effects of its former ill-repute. Its society has
acquired more stability, and there is a percepti
ble improvement in. all its departments. But it
is still, in a large degree, a wild, rugged, uncouth,
backwoods colony. The most remarkable part
of the business is that it should have sent emi
grants to Kansas, Texas, and California. Such
is the fact. What kind of persons they were
who went from Arkansas to Texas, we can
not say. Those who sought a location in Kansas
were free Boilers, while those who went to Cali
fornia were poor white men, kept down by the
effects of slavery in Arkansas, and searching for
a better field of labor.
The people who have made rich and powerful
the great North-west were poor, friendless, land
less squatters, with laborious wives and children,
who from a log cabin and a patch of corn, would,
in a few , years, earn enough to pay for a farm.
Time was when they didn't want such in Arkan
sas. A squatter there had to sleep with gun in
hand, and knife in belt, and weary out his life in
protecting his land from unseen depredators.
This was long ago. While Missouri has reached
a million of inhabitants, Arkansas has but a bare
quarter of a million. The State, in fact, became
so poor and forlorn that its own authorities had
to resort to the desperate expedient of offering
land gratis to actual settlers. Under the influ
ence of this, it has managed to recover lost
ground.

PROGRESS IN KANSAS.—The Quindaro Chin
dowan, of July 4th, gives an account of the or
ganization of a company in that city, to build the
Parkville and Grand River Railroad. Charles
Robinson, of Kansas, and Edward L. Baker of
Massachusetts, are among the directors chosen.
The same paper says that more than twelve. hun
dred letters passed through the Quindaro post
office between June 12 and July 1. A vein of
coal has also been discovered at Quindaro.
RETURNING MORDIONS.-A party of nearly one
hundred Mormons, just from Utah, and en route
for the South-west part of Kansas, where they
propose to settle, passed Fort Leavenworth on
the sth. They are heartily sick of, the tyranni
cal rule of the Mormon leaders, and were fearful
if they remained, of suffering violence during
the anticipated conflict between the United States
government and the Brigham Young oligarchy.
AMERICAN SALT.—The annual salt product of
the. United States amounts to 12,370,000 bushels.
New York is the greatest producer, her amount
being 6,000,000 bushels ; Virginia next, her pro
duct being 3,500,000 bushels. In eleven States
the manufacture of salt is carried on, the great
sources of supply being salt brine obtained from
deep wells far removed from the ocean.
NIAGARA SUSPENSION Bamm—This bridge ap
pears to be a profitable concern. During the past
year, ending April, the report of the company,
recently published, states that the revenue
amounted to $41,963, disbursements, $4,507,
thus showing that the working expenses are but
small. The dividend which it pays, averages 15
per cent.
PEARLS AT HARRISEURG.—The editor of one of
the Harrisburg, Pa., papers has found a number
pearls in muscles picked up in Paxton creek, at
that place. It is now pretty well settled that
pearls may be found in these shells in many sec
tions of Pendsylvania.
Tanning Cotton and Wheel Hubs.
In a letter received from Mr. C. B. Stewart, of
Danville, Tex., he states that the durability of
cotton cloth is greatly increased by being impreg
nated with tannin. - He has tanned cotton cloth
for bags, saddle girths, and negro clothing, and
found that it lasted much longer than when un
tanned. The hubs of wheels and axe handles, he
aleo states, are frequently submitted in the tan
liquor at the South, and with good results, their
durability being promoted by such treatment.
He suggests the application of tannin to all cot
ton fabrics exposed to the weather, such as awn
ings, the sails of boats, &c.
Many of our coasting schooners and sloops,
now use sails tanned with oak bark. They last
three times longer, at least, than sail cloth not
treated with tannin or
.some other antiseptic
agent.:; • •

Preservation of the Hair.
In all ages and among almost all tribes of men,
a beautiful head of hair has bed', 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, today 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 locks 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 flair 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

impression that there. was to be an attempt at a
general conversiri to the Christian religion.
In the Commons, Mr. H. Birdley asked leave
to bring in a bill to cause the votes of Parliamen
tary electors to be taken by ballet.
The motion was rejected by a vote of 189 to
267.
It was intimated that General Cavaignac would
rather not present himself a second time to the
electors of Paris, and that propositions had been
made to distinguished members of the Paris Bar
to take his place,but that they were not accepted.
Several of th defeated opposition members
threaten to contest the regularity of the returns
of their opponents.'
The Daily News says that although Lord Clar
endon has no official information of the facts, yet
it is, nevertheless, quite true that the French
government has entered into a contract, with a
Marseilles honee'for a supply of ten thousand
Africans, for the West Indian Islands of Martini
que and Guadeloupe. This is a very important
movement. Those two islands produce large
crops of sugar, coffee, etc. The quantity of
sugar shipped from Martinique, was 887,269 owt.,
in the year 1851; 2 'and 310,938 cwt. in 1862,
showing a marked' decline. We have no statis
tics of the sugar crop of Guadeloupe, but there
were in the year 1851 no less than 660 sugar
mills on the island. The population of Guade
loupe was 131,162 in 1841, and 129,050 in .1851,
exhibiting a decrease. Industry does not appear
to flourish on either island owing no doubt to the
same causes which have effected the ruin of the
British West Indial. It is not stated how the 10,-

Spain.
The Mexican envoy in Madrid has sent to the
Spanish minister an ultimatum, and a counter
proposition was promised by the Minister of For
eign Affairs, on the nature of which would de
pend the envoy's stay in Spain. The Madrid
correspondent of the London Times mentions a
rumor that letters of marque have been sent from
Mexico to the United States, in anticipation of
war.
There seems to be a sort of self delusion all
round in reference to this matter. Mexico leans
on the United States, and fancies that because
we want Cuba and the Northern territories of
Mexico, we will be ready to join her in a war
with Spain. The latter imagines that she Is se
cure of the support of England and France, and
that hence the United States will be afraid to in
terfere. England and France, in their turn, while
alive to the importance of the contest and its
possible results, do not seem to realize the dan
ger of war. The rumors that letters of marque
have been sent from Mexico to the United States,
show how sensitive the English are to the oppor
tunities possessed by us of profiting by such a
conflict.
Turkey.
• The Constantinople correspondent of the Daily
News, states that there is a rumor abroad to the
effect that two of the Powers, France being one
of them, have reminded the Sultan of his promise
made in the Hatti-Houtnayoun, and begged him
to carry into effect concessions so necessary to
the Christians in the East, and so much desired
by them. These two poweis. it is said, especially
desire that the right of holding property shall
be granted to every foreigner resident in Turkey,
and that the equality of the Christians before the
tribunals shall be recognised, so that they may
obtain a social as well as legal existence. It
cannot be known, of coure, to what extent this
rumor may be correct, but it forms the topic of
discourse in Constantinople in general circles.
A dispatch from Berlin says, it is affirmed
there that Prussia, Russia, and Sardinia, have
given their adhesion to the compromise on the
question of the ITnion of the Principalities, drawn
up by Lord Clarendon, which is, therefore, now
opposed by France alone.
China.
The dates from the Canton river are to the Sth
of May. Several attempts had been made to
blow up the ships there, one of which was nearly
successful.
No military operations could be undertaken
before October, owing to the heat of the weather.
The Singapore correspondent of the London
Times says we have a little dispute here between
the England and American authorities.
The dates from Foo Choo are to the 80th of
April, and mention news of the near approach of
rebels, causing considerable uneasiness among
the merchants and wealthy people, who were re
moving their property.' A stoppage of trade was
anticipated, and no operations in teas could be
carried on for the next season.

DlED—June 26, in the 30th year of her age,
Mrs. ANNEX JANE NAUGLE, wife of Mr. Frederick
Naugle, of Laughlinstown, Pa.
The deceased was a member of Ligonier Pres
byterian church. Retiring and quiet in her man;
ners, she exemplified the Christian character at
home. Daring the long period of her illness, she
ever expressed resignation to the will of God.
She was not afraid to die ; and we confidently
hope that He who alone can rob death of every
terror, imparted this sweet peace and resignation
to her mind. How mysterious the providence of
God! And yet, when correctly read, its every
lesson teaches his goodness, as well as his wis
dom. Only a few months before Mrs. N. was laid
on :the bed of death, a dear child was taken.
The wound was deep; and then it was hard for
the mother to see the hand of mercy there ; but,
when Death came to lay his icy hand on herself,
0! then it was cheering to have that dear little
.one among the " angel bands," beckoning her
upward—more cheering than to have heard its
sobs beside her bed, or to have left it in this
world of sin • and pain. Let the husband, now
doubly bereaved, and the friends, now weeping,
learn to see here, also, the hand of Him who
" doeth all things well." Let them, in the re
moval of so many friends, hear the call, "Be ye
also ready." • B.
DIED—At Canal Fulton, Ohio, June 30th, Mr.
JOHN WELLS . , in the 19th year of hie age.
The deceased was in the course of Academic
study, and had just returned, with impaired
health, as it would seem, to die in the bosom of a
loving household. His mind was strong and in
quisitive ; too much so for its delicate frame.
Like young Samuel, he had been given to the
Lord's service, by a pions mother, even before he
was born. He had been diligently instructed in
the doctrines and duties of religion, in a manner
worthy even of the olden time. In all that is
amiable and good, he was such as we might ex
pect of such a youth, with such a training. If
God has called him to a higher service, may we
not say, "Thy will be done." The deceased was
a grandson of the Rev. T. Hughes, from whom
has spriing an army of godly ministers.
Don—March 17th, at his residence in Ma
boning County, Ohio, WILLIAM HAnnou, Sr., in
his 86th year.
He in early life united with the church of
Round Hill, in Allegheny County, Pa. He re
moved to the place on which he died about the
year 1805, and united with the church of West
field. He officiated in that church for a number
of years, as Ruling Elder. Alter the organiza
tion of Little Beaver church, in the year 1835,
he became a member of it, and, by the choice of
the people, he served as Ruling Elder in it until
his death. He was strongly attached to the doci
trines and order of the Presbyterian Church, and ho
endeavored to regulate his life bythe precepts of the
Gospel. In his last illness he expressed his con
fidence in God, and said his hope rested on Christ
alone. "He died in a good old age, an old man,
and full of years, and was gathered to his
people."
DlED—June Bth, at his residence in Beaver
County, near Darlington, ROBERT McMinn, in
the 92d year of his age.
Mr. McMinn settled on the place where he
died, in the year 1795, the country being then a
wilderness. When the church of Mount Pleasant
was organized, in the year 1799, he was within
its limits, and some years afterwards became a
member of that church. It was his custom for
some years previous to his death, to read the
Bible through once a year. Some months before
his death, the writer called with him, and in
quiring how he was, he replied that he was one
of the happiest persons on earth, that he felt the
Lord to be his God, and Christ to be his Saviour.
He said he was waiting daily for the call to go
and be with his Lord.
DlED—Near Darlington, Beaver County, on the
Bth of June, Ronzar Drtwoirrn - , Sr., in the 72d
year of his age.
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pa.,
but while a child, removed with his father
to the place now called Enon Valley. He be
came a subject of the great revival which com
menced in 1802, and extended widely over the
Western country. When very young, he united
with the church of Mount Pleasant, then under
the care of the ltev. Thomas E. Hughes. From
that time till his death he maintained a Christian
character. He was regarded, by all who knew
him, as, an humble, godly, devoted disciple of
Jesus Christ. " Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord." -
Dnm—May 3d, at the residence of her father,
in Hancock County, Va., Miss ELIZABETH INGRAM,
in the 28th year of her age.
The deceased died in the triumphs of the Gos
pel. Death to her was no unwelcome messenger.
She had long been the subject of severe and pain
ful afflictions, and often anticipated death before
his time arrived. Hence she was familiar with
his approach, and met him undismayed. About
two years before her death, she united with the
church of Nei Cumberland, on profession of her
faith ; and ever afterwards she " adorned the
doctrine of God her Saviour, by a holy walk and
conversation." She was often disturbed by
doubts of her interest in Christ; and so severe
were her spiritual conflicts, that she was some
times reduced almost to despair. But these sea
sons at length passed away, and she was enabled
to rest completely on the Saviour, and claim him,
for her own. And especially as the hour of
death approached, did she enjoy the fulfilment of
the precious promises of the Word of God.
There seemed then to be no cloud between her
and God ; not a doubt seemed to disturb her
mind; and with the most perfect composure she
awaited the hour of her departure. Her heart
seemed to overflow with anxiety for the salvation
of those she loved. Of her aged father, provi
dentially absent, and who did not return until the
grave had hidden her from his sight, she said
"I have often talked to him about Jesus and his
eternal interests, and I know he will not forget
it." Often, with tears, did she express a desire
to see a dear brother, far away in the "land of
gold," that she might be the means of spiritual
good to him. Her brothers and sisters at home
were called to her bedside, while she exhorted
them, with her dying breath, to trust in Jesus,
and prepare for death. Let her friends remem
ber her example and admonitions—let them fol
low her as she followed Christ, and then, as glori
fied saints, they shall Meet in heaven. G.

From Professor Louis &guards
" The Geological Works of Hugh Hiller have excited tho
greatest interest, not only among scientific men, but also
among general readers. There is in them a freshness of
conception, a power of argumentation , a depth of thought,
a purity oefeeling. rarely met with in works of that char
acter. . . . But what is in a great degree peculiar to our
author, is the succeekfal combination of Christian doctrines
with pare scientific truths"
From Rev. Thomas Chalmers. D.D., LLD.:
"Since the death of Sir Walter Scutt, he (Hugh Miller) is
the greatest Scotchmau that is left."
From Sir David Brewster, LL.D., F.R.S.:
"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 his de
scriptions, the purity and elegance of his compositions, and
the high tone of philosophy andreligion which distinguishes
all his writings. . . With the exception of Burns, Ihe
uneducated genius which has done honor to Scotland during
the last century has never displayed that mental refinement,
and classical taste, and it tellectual energy, which mark all
the writings of our author."
From Rev. William Buckland, D.D.
Dr. Bnekland raid, 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 Hugh 51 igen That wonderfidman describes
these objects with a facility which makes me ashamed of
the comparative meagreness anti poverty of my own de
scriptions in the 'Bridgewater Treatise,'- which cost me
hours and days of labor. I would give ray left hand to pos
sess suqh powers of description as this men; 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 RRev. - William Hanna, LL.D.:
" lie succeeded in placing his name in the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. Ills 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."
From Sir Roderick Murchison, F.ILS :
Sir Roderick Murchison, in his address to the Geological
Society, "bailed the accession to their science of such a
writer,", and said that "his work (Old Red Sandstone,) is,
to a beginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."
