We thus perceive, that the brethren in
' itconsin, though increasing least rapidly
numbers, have far outstripped their
retbren, in the increase of their contribu
ons to the Boards, the average per member
eing, in 1857, larger, by thirty-one cents,
lan that of Illinois, and by one dollar and
.irty.six cents than that of lowa. I sin
erely hope this fact will elicit the serious
onsidoration of our brethren in these last
,atned States, and that if we are spared to
'take their statistical exhibit of benevolence
or, anotheryear, we may be gratified in finding
.em upon an equality, at least, with their
.rethren in other parts of the West. An
.ther fact to be gleaned from these statistics
s, that the contributions have hardly kept
oce with the increase of wealth in our
hurches. I know that I will be told, that
Turing the three years contemplated, almost
lithe churches have been struggling with
tecuniary difficulties, tasking themselves to
luild a house of worship, or straining every
lave to support a pastor. This is iadeed,
'ery true, and yet these have been years of
.reat plipical prosperity in the West.
hop of our churches have, within that
ime, especially in Illinois and Wisconsin,
ripled and quadrupled their property,
.and
vet in the former the brethren have signified
heir gratitude to God, by the meagre addi
ion of a three-cent-piece, to their average
'ontributions of former years. I, of course,
'ring no accusation. 1 know bow much
:e any have to contend with in beginning in
new country, yet in settling here, their
condition has been bettered, and hundreds
J.ave made thousands of dollars, by the
' , ere change of location. Let them think
of this, and let our noble Boards during
this year have the advantage of the thought.
These statistics may be thought dry and
uninteresting, especially by your lady readers.
ut, I hope, averse as the sex is, generally,
o mathematics, and the contemplation of
figures, they will not turn aside from these
without a thought. lam persuaded, if the
female members of our churches would
interest themselves more in these matters,
that far more money would find its way into
the treasury of the Lord. I am not about
to make any self-sacrificing suggestions to
your fair readers. Those ear-rings may
remain pendant; those jewels may sparkle,
on fingers and brow; but Christian mother,
daughter, sister, as you put on, or take off,
those ornaments, think of the poor idolaters
in heathendom, who have never yet heard of
the pearl of great price, and wear the old
ornaments, if they must be worn, another
year, that you may contribute the price of
the newer fashioned ones you thought of
purchasing to send the light of life to some
darkened souls, perishing for lack of knowl
edge. Think of the empty treasury, that
you might contribute to fill, and act with
eternity in view.
I may, in my next, give you some addi
tional statistics, provided your readers do not
in the mean time notify me of their unwil
lingness to listen to such dry details.
The contest respecting the Presidency of
Knox College continues, and the public are
likely to be made thoroughly acquainted
with all the facts. Dr. E. Beecher has
been at Chicago, lecturing upon the subject.
Of course he sustains Dr. Blanchard and
the Congregational interest. Rev. G. W.
Gale, the founder of Galesburg, and long
a Professor in the College, is charged as the
cause of all the evil. He is a New School
Presbyterian,and received the Doctorate from
Union College, Schenectady, at the recent
commencement. He has just returned from
the East, and is out in a letter in the Chicago
Press, a secular paper, in opposition to the
allegations of Dr. Beecher. He says: "If
the statements made by Dr. B. are correctly
reported, as I have no doubt they are, trona
the character of the gentleman who took
notes, the most important of them are
wholly incorrect, and others are so one
sided and partial as to amount to clear mis
representation. lam sorry, for the Doctor's
sake> and for religion's sake, as well as from
a regard to the peace of the community,
that he has felt it his duty to take this
course to benefit the College. It can only
work evil, without good to any body, unless
kindly overruled by a merciful Providence,
which I trust it will be."
It is painful to record these family con
tests, but as they have become so public we
may notice them, as affording evidence of
theimpracticability of the lauded co-opera
tion of these sister churches. We only
hope that the cause of souls may not suffer
in the unseemly contests.
A wealthy lady, by the name of Garrett,
made a donation by will, some time since,
of a large amount of property, in Chicago,
to , our brethren of the Methodist Episcopal
!Aura, to found a Theological Seminary,
19 or near that city. The property has
risen in value, until it is estimated to be
worth three hundred thousand dollars, and
the foundation of a flourishing school has
been laid at Evanston, under charge of Dr.
Dempster and others, eminent for worth and
talent in that Church. I perceive, however,
that the will of Mrs. Garrett is about to be
contested by heirs in the East, who, among.
other pleas, urge that undue reli g ious infix;
enee was used to induce her tmake the
bequest. We sincerely hope the selfishness
of, perhaps, ungodly men, will nut be allowed
to divert to other and secular uses, these
funds, devoted by their pious owner toso
nook a purpose. ' When will the wealthy lthy
our uei Churches learn to make such a dis
position of the meats God has given them,
as that, in their own lifetimes, God ,nay be
glorified by it, and not wait until it is beyond
their power to further the accomplishment
of their own designs! It appears to me
that the Head of the Church, by these fre
fluent attempts, on the part of selfish heirs, to
thwart the designs of pious donors, is say
ing to all, who would by their wealth pro
aniote his cause, " Whatsoever ciy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou
guest."
The Sabbath School cause is attracting
much attention in many parts of the West,
and much is being done to awaken an inter
est in its behalf. In many of our towns,
Union Sabbath School meetings are being
held monthly, and in some places monthly
prayer-meetings, of all who love these
agencies, that the blessing of God may
descend upon them. At Springfield, the
capital of the State, and at Dixon, these
meetings have been held with tokens of the
Divine favor. The Sabbath Schools of the
latter place enjoyed, on the 31st of July, a
pie nie excursion to the neighboring town of
Morrison, on the Air Line Railroad, from
Chicago to Fulton. The day was fine, the
young people were in excellent spirits, and
the six hundred, young and old, who partici
pated in the festivities, were ready to give a
unanimous vote in favor of such another
pleasant trip at no distant day. All the cler
gymen, and many of the lawyers, of the place,
attended, and, by their short and pithy
speeches, added greatly to the enjoyment
of the pupils. The citizens, and Sabbath
Schools of Morrison and surrounding coun
try, were present to greet us, and by their
assistance added greatly to the pleasure of
the excursion. •
We will have hope for our country, so long
as the religious instruction of the young is
not neglected.

Correction
MR. EDITOR :—Upon page forty-five of
the printed Minutes of the General Assem
bly, I find the following item : "Overture
No. 29, from D. X. Junkin, asking the
Assembly to take the proper measures for
having the Constitution changed, in regard
to Ruling Elders, so as to make the office
temporary."
It is due to truth and to my own reputa
tion as a sound Presbyterian, to say that I
never asked the Assembly to do any such
thing. I believe, with our Form of Gov
ernment, that "the offices of Ruling Elder
and Deacon are perpetual, and can not be
laid aside at pleasure;" and I never pro
posed such a change as would "make the
office temporary. In connexion with
others, I did propose changing our own
awkward and inefficient mode of dissolving
the official relation between an unacceptable
incumbent and the people, for that mode
which is in use in the Reformed Dutch
Church.
The process, by which an Elder who
is unacceptable to the people, can be
gotten to " cease to be an acting Elder or
Deacon," is with us both awkward and
inefficient, and always, when attempted
to be enforced, gives rise to hard feelings,
and often to divisions. Whilst the mode
recommended works well, is more republican
and more efficient, and it avoids the offences
and divisions that inevitably result from the
use of the process prescribed in our Book,
I am at a loss to know how the Committee
of Bills and Overtures could characterize
this overture as a proposal to make the
office of Elder temporary; and I do not
wonder that, thus described to the Assembly,
that body should deem it inexpedient to
send it down. Fraternally Yours,
Bloomington, Illinois, Female Seminary.
The following report of the examing coo=
mittee of this school has been handed us for
publication :
We the undersigned board of examiners,
had the pleasure of being present during
a public examination of the pupils of the
Bloomington Female Seminary, under the
care of the Rev. Robert Conover, at the
close of the session ending July 17th, 1857.
Although this school has been in exis
tence only a single year, contending with
many difficulties incident to a new enter
prise, still there is unmistakable evidence of
fidelity and ability
,in the management of
the institution, and also in the course of in
struction.
There are several things which we will
mention that left a very favorable impression
upon our minds:
First. The perfect order and lady-like
deportment of all the pupils, evidencing the
good discipline by which they have been
daily controlled. Again, there was good
evidence to show that the examination was
not simply on set recitations prepared for
the occasion; but on so much of the sub
jects studied by the pupils, as the time for
examination would allow.
Again, it was evident that the pupils were
not simply taught to memorize the words of
a book, but to study and master the subjects
assigned them; and that the aim of the in
structors was as much to discipline the mind,
as to store the memory with knowledge.
Again, the prominence that was given to
the study of the Scriptures gives good as
surance for the moral and religious influence
of the school over its pupils. Cultivation
of the heart is of equal, if not of more im
portance than the cultivation of the intel
lect; to reach the highest perfection both
must be cultivated.
Another thing which left a very happy im
pression was that the solid branches of an
education were not sacrified to make way for
the ornamental; but each had that atten
tion which their importance demands.
The exercises of the evening were pecu
liarly attractive, showing no small degree of
proficiency and taste in composition and
music.
In a word, the teachers and pupils have
acquitted themselves well and show that
the labors of the past year have not been in
vain. S. H. STEVENSON,

Mortality.
A case of pure and unmistakeable Asiatic
cholera occurred in Newark, New Jersey, on
Saturday, and the cause assigned is the filthy
condition of the outhouses in the neighborhood
where the case appeared. Two deaths from
cholera also took place last week in New York
city, where out of five hundred and fifty-one
deaths, no less than two hundred and sixty were
from bowel diseases, one hundred and fifteen
being of cholera in tantum.
In Philadelphia, during the week, there were
three hundred and one interments, the chief
causes of mortality being cholera infanlum seven
ty-three, consumption twenty-nine, marasmus
twenty-seven, convulsions eleven,diarrhcea eleven,
dysentery ten.

A Great Fire.
The main building,of the Cambria Iron Works
i was consumed on the let inst. It was GOO feet
t long and 100 wide, with a cross of 350 feet.
Loss $lOO,OOO ; insurance $50,000. The furnaces,
chimneys, &c., were not essentially injured;
temporary covering is to be provided and business
to proceed ; while a new erection of more endur
ing materials is in progress.
This venerable structure, the first which ever
spanned the Allegheny River, is approaching dis•
solution. A contract has, we understand, been
made with Mr. Roebling to superintend the
building of a new bridge. It is to be a wire
suspension. A portion of the present piers are
to be incased strongly with cut stone, to sustain
the new work; the other piers will be removed
when no longer needed. The work is to com
mence about September Ist. The plan adopted
will enable the public to use the present Bridge
while the piers are being built and things arrang
ed for the new one, so that there will be but a
short interval between the actual removal of the
one, and the erection of the other. •
Sr. Louts, August s.—Accounts from Leaven
worth, Kansas, announce that an intense excite
ment prevails in that vicinity, growing out of
the robbery and murder of a man named Stephens,
on Friday last, and the subsequent discovery of
an organized band of murderers.
Two men, named Barnes and Queries, were
hung. Barnes made a confession, implicating
several respectable citizens as confederates of the
band.
NORTH-WEST
Sr. Louis, August 6.—Later advices from
Leavenworth, dating to Monday last, state that
two men, named Wood and Knowlton, companions
of those hung on Friday, are being tried before
the judges of a Vigilance Committee. The
people were intensely excited, and expressed a
determination to lynch the prisoners at all
hazards.
. _
Judge Lecompte and Gov. Walker addressed
the populace, but failed to pacify them.
The Legislative Apportionment gives ten mem.
bers to fifty counties, and forty-two members to
seventeen counties.
ST. Louts, August B.—Kansas advices state
that Governor Walker evacuated Lawrence on the
3d, with all the troops except forty. The osten
sible cause that the Indians have attacked Fort
Riley, is regarded here as a ruse to get the troops
away.
The vote on the Topeka Constitution is six
hundred and fifty-two for, and two hundred
against. The State ticket is elected.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Great Britain has not
yet replied to the communication of the State De
partment, written several months ago, relative to
Central American affairs, in connexion with the
I rejected treaty.
The claims for consequential damages will not
I be enforced by our Government against New Gra
; nada, which, however, through its Minister, has
;expressed its willingness to allow such as were
actually sustained by our citizens, owing to the
Panama riots. No difficulty is apprehended as to
the agreement upon a basis of settlement of the
pending questions between the tw. governments.
In no event will the government permit Costa
Rica, or any other Central American State, to di-
I minish the boundaries of Nicaragua, or divide or
absorb the territdry. And of this fact they are
probably by this time aware.
There is no question between this and any
other country, that does not promise a quiet and
satisfactory adjustment.
Ann. 6.—The Shawnee (Kansas) Indians hav
ing made their selections and locations of one
hundred thousand acres, in accordance with the
terms of the treaty between them and the United
States; nothing now remains but the approval of
the slections by the President, before the resi
due of the Shawnee lands will be opened to sale
and pre-emption. In view of this condition of
things, the commissioner of the general land
office will soon issue instructions to the Surveyor
General of Kansas, to approve of the plans and
surveys, and transmit them to the proper land
offices. The claims of white settlers, who have
already gone to these lands, will not be recognized.
Aug. 7.—Fort Gibson having been abandoned
as a military post, the War Department has
issued orders to surrender it to the Cherokee
Nation in accordance with the terms of the treaty
of 1886. It is the intention of the Cherokees to
lay off a city on that scite.
Ana. B.—The Navy Department this morning
received a letter from flag officer James Armstrong,
dated from United States ship San Jacinto, at
Hong Kong, May 28d, in which he says, from the
enormous force the English are collecting at this
station, arid the arrangements they are making
for its permanency, it is clear that China is to be
compelled to throw off her exclusiveness. He
adds that there will be a total of sixty vessels,
mounting seven hundred and eighty-three guns.
Accompanying this force are several sea-geing
hospitals and transports with a very large medi
cal supernumerary.
Aug. 10.—The Postmaster General has nearly
completed arrangements by which to concentrate
at Cincinnati, by the most prompt and expeditious
means, the great northern and eastern mails,
there to be distributed throughout the Western
States and Territories generally. He is also
endeavoring to improve the Southern mail service.
He also decided that the seller's price -mark, on
the fly-leaf of a book, sent by mail, subjects the
whole to letter postage. Persons buying books
to send to their friends by mail, had better notice
this new decision.

One of the most flourishing and attractive
schools of learning is the Iron City College. It
numbers among its students young gentlemen
from various Suites of the Union, and even from
the largest cities, where there are similar insti
tutions—but this one has emphatically overshad
owed them all. , We boldly assert that there is
no city in the Union which has a commercial
school, where the branches of a business educa
tion are so thoroughly taught, as in the Iron City
College of Pittsburgh.
On entering the beautiful and commodious
college hall, we were surprised to witness the
great number of students in attendance. Every
desk in that large room appeared occupied, and
the close attention of the students, and the de
lightful order, were in fine harmony with the
place.
The energy and consummate skill with which
this institution has been managed, despite the op
position it has encountered from its predeces
sors and contemporaries, reflect the highest hon
ors upon its gentlemanly Principal. F. W. Jen
kins, Esq. It has acquired the position, (which
it can now maintain with ease,) of being the very
foremost and most efficient Commercial College,

Hair Restorative
The demand for this unrivaled preparation for
the hair and skin is beyond tee possibility of a
doubt, and its sale is greater than any other Hair
Restorative that has ever been before the public.
Tens of thousands of persons who were halt! and
gray, and others whose faces were covered with
unsightly blotches and pimples, are now, with
their own glossy hair, and with faces comely and
fair to look upon, seen daily promenading the
streets of all the principal cities of the Union, and
by their influence spreading the fame of Wood's
Hair Restorative throughout the civilized world.
But the trial of one Bottle is more convincing
than all we could say in a whole newspaper
column.

and beauty to the decaying, falling, and dead,
restoring as if by magic, that which was supposed
to be irrecoverably lost. Heads nearly bald and

In Parliament, the government intimated that
nothing was to be done in China but the destruc
tion of the war junks, until the result of Lord
Elgin's mission to Pekin was ascertained. If
nothing satisfactory were obtained, the hostilities
were to be confined to Canton. Lord John
Russell obtained leave to bring in a new hill for

In the House of Commons, on the 20th ult., Mr.

latest official adviecs from India pointed to the
very reverse.
The followinc , are the proceedings in regard to
the Atlantic telegraph ' cable: The Agamemnon
left Greenwich on the 24th ult., for Sheerness to
have her compasses adjusted, after which she
would proceed direct to Cork. An important
alteration in the arrangements for laying the cable
has been determined upon. The plan now is, in
stead of commencing in mid.ocean, to submerge
the whole cable in a continuous line from Valen
tin Bay to Newfoundland. The Niagara will lay
the first half from Ireland to the middle of the
Atlantic. The end will then be joined to the
other half on board the Agamemnon, which takes
it on to the coast of Newfoundland. Daring the
whole process the four vessels will remain to•
gethcr, and give whatever assistance is requisite.
Constant communication is to be kept up with the
coast of Ireland (luring the progress of the work,
and the wires are at once to be laid from Killarney
to Valentin Bay, so as to connect with the British
and Irish Telegraph Line.

BERLIN, July 16.—The Berlin committee of the
Evangelical Alliance, is not behind•hand in mak
ing its preparations for the forthcoming assembly
of Protestant Christians in this city. At a meet
ing held here last Monday evening, the 20th, the
committee was informed by the special deputa
tion appointed to watch over the, subject, that
pecuniary 'contributions toward the expenses of
the assembly are flowing in to a very satisfactory
extent, and that a very considerable number of
persons had signified their willingness to accomo
date strangers who should come to-Berlin to take
part in the meeting. The anticipated number of
guests whom Berlin will have to provide for on
this occasion, is three thousand. - Great satisfac
tion was expressed at the earnestness and zeal
felt in England for the cause, as testified by the
number and rank of Protestant champions of re
ligious brotherhood that have signified their in
tention of coming over to the assembly, and the
amount already subscribed in England (,E, 800)
toward their expenses.

It was supposed that some explosion would take
place in Paris at the funeral of Beranger, the
poet, and the government made preparations ac
cordingly. If any such intention existed it was
frustrated by the ample military preparations of

for Paris, only two will take the oaths to the im

Goudchaux refuse.
The Moniteur, of Tuesday,- the 21st, contains
the following;
For more than a week the police has bad
proof that a plot had been formed in London to
make an attempt on the life of the Emperor.
Three Italians, charged with the execution of this
horrible project, were at Paris and arrested. The
arms also which were to have been used for the
perpetration of the crime have been seized; they
consist of poinards, revolvers,&c. Brought to
justice, the prisoners had alreay confessed their
crime, and revealed the names of their accomplices.
The government, notwithstanding, suspended the
proceedings against them, in order that the eclat
of the process might not be regarded as a means
of influencing the result of the elections which
were about to take place. The proceedings are
now'resumed, and an ordinance of the Judge of
Instruction has sent before the Chamber of Accu
sation all the prisoners arrested, with their ac
complices. Their names are Tibaldi, Bartolotti,
Grilti, (otherwise Saro,) Mazzini, Ledru Rollin,

DIED-At his residence in Yellow Creek Town
ship, Columbiana County, Ohio, on Sabbath mor
ning, May 20th, Mn. ROBERT litsurix, in the 86th
year of his age.
Mr. Martin was born in the North. When he
was about two years old, his father, the Rev.
James Martin, emigrated, with his family, to this
country, and settled in the neighborhood of Penn's
Valley, Pa., where he labored as a minister of
our Church until his death. Soon after the death
of his father, about the commencement of this cen
tury,' Mr. Martin, who had married Mies Hus
tin, moved, with his family and mother, to this
place, where he has ever since lived, until, like a
shock of corn fully ripe, he has been gathered
home to his rest. A truly good man has gone
from us.
Mr. Martin had been trained, in his youth; in
the good old way, from which he never departed.
Christianity adorned him, and he adorned our
holy religion. The distinguishing doctrines that
the Apostle Paul loved and preached, so ardently
and clearly, he loved, and they abounded to his
consolation and joy. " What!" said he, a day or
two before his death, to a friend, "What
would you exchange your hope for ? I would
not," said he, " give up mine for worlds!" He
was always a most humble man, and disliked
every thing like boasting. The writer visited
him frequently during his last days, and ever
found him composed and peaceful—waiting till
his change came. He ever appeared as one ready,
waiting until his Lord would come. In all the
relations of life, he sustained the character of an
upright, honorable and Christian man. He was
benevolent, kind, and charitable to the poor. His
house was ever open, especially to the minister of
Christ; and never did he knowingly permit a
minister, who had preached, as a supply, in the
church to which ho belonged, to depart without
remuneration. As a good and wise steward, upon
whom the Lord had bestowed liberally of his
goods,he made friends of the mammon of un-
righteousness, who may receive him into ever
lasting habitations. Mrs. Martin had preceded
him to her rest about fifteen years.
DIED-Of consumption, at Clearfield, Pa., Mae.
RTANE H. WALLACE, wife of R. Wallace, Esq., aged
49 years.
Mrs. Wallace was for many years a member of
the Presbyterian Church, and she truly loved the
gates of Zion, and sought her peace and prosper
ity. She evinced the sincerity of her profession
by a life of faith and godlines, enjoying, in an
eminent degree, the esteem and affection of those
with whom she had Christian and social inter-
course
As a wife and mother, she was faithful and
affectionate in meeting her resposibilities, mani
festing a deep concern for the spiritual welfare of
all the members of her family, and striving to
bring them up in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord.
But now, her husband can enjoy her judicious
and affectionate companionship only in the mem
ory of the past: her children can no more see
her eye beaming upon them in love, or b ear her
voice addressing them in the language of kind
admonition, and'affectionate encouragement ; but
they may animate their hearts for good, by the
remembrance of what they have seen and heard
of their beloved parent, whom God has taken, we
believe, to a better world.
In the death of Mrs. Wallace, her friends have
sustained an irreparable loss; but they do not
mourn as those who have no hope. They have a
full confidence that their loss is her gain. This
confidence rests on a Christian life extending
through many years, in which there was a happy
blending of faith and humility; and upon a
Christian experience extending through a pro
tracted'sickness, attended with much bodily pain
and distress, which were borne with exemplary
patience and submission to the will of God, and
during which doubts and fears gave place to a
calm confidence in Christ; and which finally rose
to an earnest desire to depart and be with Jesus.
May it be the privilege of her bereaved family
and friends to meet her in a happy home above.
J.M.G.
Aran--At his residence in Fairfield, lowa, on
the 28d ult., Mn. JOSEPH Jur-mix, Sr., in the 69th
year of his age.
The deceased, at the time of his death, had
been a member of the Presbyterian church of
Fairfield, between five and six years, though
born and reared in the bosom of the Associate
Reformed Church; and for upwards of forty years,
in communion with it. He was an intelli
gent, uncompromising friend of truth, especially
the great doctrines of grace ; as those who asso
ciated with him in the domestic circle, in the
house of prayer, and in the walks of businesa,
knew him to be a consistent and exemplary fol
lower of Christ. He loved the family altar. He
loved the prayer-meeting. He loved the sanctu
ary. He delighted in services that brought his
heart into special intimacy with God, and the
fellowship of Christian communion; and he was
absent from such precious seasons, only when
some imperious necessity precluded his attend
ance. As a firm believer in the Calvinistic system
of inspired truth, he was accustomed to adore the
-hand of Providence in each event of life; and
amidst the diversified allotments of providence
that checkered his earthly history, he ever had
it in his heart to say, The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want." Of the Church of his riper
years, as of the Church of his early days, he was
accustomed to say, "If I forget thee, 0 Jerusa
salem, let my right hand forget her cunning."
His memorial is on record in the precious mem
ory of a large circle of surviving kindred, in the
Church and in the world, but especially in the
unfading page of the Lamb's hook of life. His
last illness—the only serious one of his protracted
life—was complicated and tedious. Here, as in
all his earthly journey, he saw the pitying, yet
faithful hand of a covenant Father. Calmly, sweet
ly, joyfully acquiescent in God's adorable pleas
ure, though he supposed at first that his affliction
was not unto death, he was not the less attentive
to the hand that beckoned him away to the skies,
or to the preparation that made him meet for his
' high inheritance. As the event approached, he
was able to speak but little; but each occasional
response and utterance of his lips, bore a satisfy
ing testimony, that in the valley and shadow of
death the Divine rod and staff ministered to his
soul a sweet and an ample support. About an
hour before his departure, he was asked if he
wanted any thing. "Yes," said he, " I want to
depart, and be with Jesus." He was fully con
scious, up to the last moment of his earthly so
journ, and fell asleep in Jesus with the calm com
posure of a child upon its mother's bosom.
Mr. Junkin was the eldest of eight children, of
whom some have fallen asleep before him, and
others still survive; among whom are the Rev.
Drs. George Junkin, President of Washington
College, nt Lexington, Va., and David X. Junkin,
of Hollidaysburg, Pa., and all of whom, as chil
dren of the covenant, are in Christ. Though the
Church and his earthly household have lost a
father and a brother, a living example and a safe
counselor, yet, while we' mourn our loss, we
would rejoice in his exceeding gain. He has fin.
ished his course ; he has kept the faith ; he en
joys, as we trust, the crown•laid up for him, and
for all who love and look for the Saviour's appear
ing—the reward of the faithful—the far more ex
ceeding and eternal weight of glory. May I die
the death of the righteous, and may my latter
end be like his. S.C.M.
DlED—June 27th, in Birmingham, Hundingdon
County, Pa., MRS. POLLY COPLEY, wife of John
Copley, of erysipelas, aged 61 years.
The deceased was taken with her last sickness
while attending the Presbyterian church on Sab
bath, the 14th, two weeks previous to her death.
She had been a member of this church for many
years, and lived the life of a quiet, consistent
Christian, and died in the full enjoyment of the
Christian's hope. She was one who always seemed
to be satisfied with being at home, striving to
make her family comfortable, and to set a godly
example before her children as well as all with
whom she associated. Her example and life will
long be remembered by her family and those best
acquainted with her. Happy is it for us when
we have reason to say of our departed friends,
"Asleep in Jesus." W.
DIED —At his residence in Middlesex Township,
Butler County, Pa., on the 233 of Jane, Ma.
JAMES C. THOMPSON, in the 31st year of his age.
How truthful is the saying that, " In the midst
of life we are in death ;" and seldom have we
known the saying to be more fully verified, than
in the decease of Mr. Thompson. In the vigor of
manhood, and in the prime of life, he was called
away from his youthfal family, and from all that
was dear to him on earth, to return to them no
more. The tenderest ties that bound him to his
family and friends must be dissolved, and his im
mortal spirit must soar away, at the command of
the messenger, to appear before its HOd in anoth
er and an unseen world. Thus it may be with
you, reader ; " therefore, be ye also ready." Mr.
Thompson has left a wife and four small children,
who, by the trying dispensation of Providence
which has bereaved them of au affectionate hus
band and a kind father, are cast into deep sorrow.
But their sorrow is greatly alleviated by the com
fortable assurance which the departed one afford
ed to them, of his being prepared and willing to
go whenever the Master should call for him. For
more than five years he was a consistent member
of the Presbyterian church at Middlesex. But he
has exchanged, as we trust, his place in the
earthly sanctuary, for one in the heavenly.
Dree—At Shirleysburg, Huntingdon County,
Pa., on Monday, July 20th, after a severe and
prOtracted illness, (which she bore with much pa
tience, submission, and resignation,) CYNTHIA.
JANE, wife of Henry Brewster, of that place, aged
38 years.
Suffice it to say, in this case, that, having lived
the life of a sincere and devoted Christian, there
fore, her last end was tranquility and peace.

Hattie Staube,
The corps of Teachers is able and experienced in all the
Departments. Madame Rive received her training in En •
rope, under the renowned Garcia, and is unsurpassed in her
department in the Western country. Her associates are
also highly qualified for their work. The Dude Department
was never so worthy of confidence, and it is intended to in
crease its attractions with its patronage.
The Course of Study, recently extended and elevated,
comprises alt the branches of a thorough English and Clas•
steal Education; while the instruction in Vocal and Instru
mental Music, Drawing, Painting, and other Ornamental
Branches, will meet the highest demand of the age. The
pupils have free access to a well selected Library of over
two thousand volumes. The College is provided with a
good Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus.
The grounds belonging to the Institution are richly
adorned with trees and shrubbery, and a spacious botanical
garden is to be carefully cultivated every rear, furnishing
delightful recreation and profitable study. The buildings are
ample and elegant, consisting of a fine Chapel, 42 by 65 feet,
six Recitation and seven Music Rooms, a Drawing Room,
Dormitories, and a Dining Room, capsule of accommodating
one hundred persons.
Gold's Patent Heater, the latest improvement for securing

MODERN ATHEISM, UNDER ITS
FORMS OF PANTILEISM, 'MATERIALISM, SECU
LARISM, DEVELOPMENT, AND NATURAL LAWS. By
JANCES D.D. LL D. 12m0., cloth, $1.25.
The Anther of this work is the successor of Dr. Chalmers
in the Chair of Divinity in the New College, Edinburgh,
and the intellectual leaders of the Scottish Free Church.
From ttngh Miller, Author of "Old Red Sandstone," de., &c.:
"'The work before us Is ono of at once the most readable
and solid which we have ever perused."
From the "News of the Churches:"
"It is a work of which nothing less can be said, than
that, b'th in spirit and substance, style and argument. it
fixes irreversibly the name of the author as a leading clas
sic in the Christian literature of Britain."
From Howard Malcom, D.D, President of Lewisburg Uni
versity:
"so work has come into my hands for a long time, ac
helpful to me as a teacher of metaphysim and morals. I
kuow of nothing which will answer for a substitute. The
public specialty needs such a book at this time, when the
covert atheism of Fichte, Wolfe, Hegel, Kant, Sol:wiling,
D'Holbacb, Comte, Crouse, Atkinson, Martineau, Leroux,
Mackay, Rolynake, and others, ie being spread abroad with
all earnestness, supported, at least in some places, bath by
Church influence rand university honors. I cannot but
hope that a work so timely, scholarly, and complete, will do
mach good.
From the "Christian Secretary:':
‘. Dr. Buchanan has earned a high and well-deserved repu
tation as a classical writer and close logical reasoner. Be
deals heavy, deadly blows on atheism in all its various'
forms; and wherever the work is read it cannot fall to do
good."
From the "Boston Portfolio :"
"It is a work which places its author at once in the high•
est rank of modern religions authors. His analysis of the
doctrines hold by the various schools of modern atheism,
are admirable, and his criticism original and profound;
while his arguments in defence of the Christian faith are
powerful and convincing. It is an attractive as well as a
solidliook; and he who peruses a few of its pages is, as it
were. irresistably drawn on to a thorough reading of the
book."
From the "Boston .Tonrrial :"
"The style is very felicitous, and the reasoning clear and
cogent. The opposing theories are fairly stated and corn.
bated with remarkable ease and skill. Even when the ar
gument falls within the range of science, it is so happily
stated that no intelligent reader can fait to understand
Such a profound, dispassionate work is particularly called
for at the present time."
From the "Philadelphia Christian Observer :"
"It is justly described as, a great argument,' ,magnilS
sent in itt s'rength, order. and beauty,' in defence of truth,
and against the variant theories of atheism. It reviews,
the doctrines of the different schools of modern Atheism,
girea a fair statement of their theories, answers and re
futee them, never evading, but meeting and crushing their
arguments "
From the " Christian Register :"
" Dr. Buchanan is candid and impartial, too, an so strong
a man can afford to be, evades no argument, undertakes no
opposing view, but meats his antagonists with the quiet
and unswerving confidence of a locomotive on iron tracks,
pretty sure to crush them."
From the "Philadelphia Presbyterian :"
"We hail this production of a master mind as a lucid,
vigorous, discrimination, and satisfactory refutation of the
various false philosophies which have appeared in modern
times to allure ingenious youth to their destruction. Dr.
Buchanan has studied them thoroughly, weighed them dia•
passionately, and exposed their falsity and emptiness. His
refutation is a clear stream of light from beginning to end."
From the " Universalist Quarterly :"
"We recommead Modern Atheism' as a book for the
times, and as having special claims on theological students."
From the "Congregationalist :"
"It is remarkable for the clearness with which it appre
hends and the fairness with which it states, not less than
for the ability with which it replies, to the FCIIBOII3B of un
belief in its various modern forms. it will be found easy to
reed—though not light reading—and very quickening to
thought. while it clears away, one by one, the mists which
the Devil has co"jured around the great doctrines of our
Faith, by the help of some of his ingenious modern coadju
tors, and leaves the truth of Clod standing in its serene
and pristine majesty, as if the breath of hatred never bad
been breathed forth against it."
From the New York " Christian Chronicle:"
. .
" Dr. Buchanan has here gone into the enemy's camp,
and defeated him on his own ground. The work is a mas
terly defence of faith against dogmatic unbelief on the one
hand, and that universal skepticism on the other. which
neither affirms nor denies, on the ground of an assumed
deficiency of evidence as to the reality of God and religion."
From the r. Christian Herald :"
It is a clearly and vigorously written book. It it par
'Ocularly valuable for its clear statement and masterly
refutation oi the Pantheism of Spinosa and his School."
