EASTERN SUMMARY.
BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND.
B 101 . 11PSS Men have been actively engaged
i❑ endeavoring to meet their liabilities and
to restore confidence, but with little success.
The panic continues, and almost every day
witnesses the failure or suspension of some
large 6rm, or the stoppage of some meanest°.
Wring establishment.. Two attempts have
been made by distinguished men to account
satisfactorily fur the present revulsion. The
Bon Nathan _Appleton, one of the oldest
and wisest merchants, and for forty years a
director in oue of the Boston Banks, attrib.
utes the whole difficulty to the management
of the Bunks of New York, which he con_
eiders tl.e commercial centre of the whole
country. De says that according to the
published returns it is evident that for
the ti ree months ending October Ist,
the loans have been curtailed over $30,-
000,000; and the effects have been felt sud
denly from Bangor to New Orleans. Another
opinion has been advanced by the Hon. N.
P. Banks, in a speech delivered in Faneuil
Bull, in which lie traces our present disasters
to the nrgleet of the industrial interests of
the conutry by the general government.
According to him, the present tariff does not
discriminate, as it should, in favor of the
numufneturer; but lays a tax on the raw
material used in luanufactuiing, so that this
tercs.4 in udd it ion to competing with foreign
hair and ingenuity, is saddled with a burden of
about $8,000,000 every year. Different causes
will be assigned according to the position
occupied and the general views entertained
by various persons.
Owing to the vast numbers thrown out of
employment, Pauperism is greatly on the
increase But, according to the report of
the "Society for the Prevention of Pauper
ism," other agencies have been industriously
at work. The spread of intemperance, and
Sabbath lectures on Spiritualism, Mormon
lin', and Mesmerism, are mentioned, especial
ly among the causes of demoralization.
As a nntural consequence, Crime is greatly
in the ascendant, and the safety formerly felt
with regard to person and property no longer
exists. A reward of Sl.OOO has been offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the
murderer of one of the police officers.
Gould & Lincoln, the well known pub
lishers, have just, issued a new work on Men
tal Philosophy, by Joseph iliven, Professor
of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy in Am
herst College. This work is said to be re
markably free from the dry and forbidding
style usually associated with dissertations on
this subject; and to be thorough in its dis
cussions, and to be concise and conspiouous
in its statements.
The first number of the Atlantic Monthly
has just been issued by Phillips, Sampson &
Co. The table of contents is varied and in
tetestins.. And the publishers promise a
tillazi be in which true scholarship and cut
ture will be combined with the lively and
sparkling, both in matter and style. They
assure us that subjects pertaining to Litera
ture, Art and Pulitics, will be treated with
independence and ability, with broad and
philosophic views, avoiding, all rancor of spirit.
If, however, the present number is a speci
inev, we cannot commend it to those who
would well employ their time, or rightly train
their fittilies.
The Biblical Institute of the Methodist
Ep4cupal Cburch, at Concord, N. li , has a
larger number of students in attendance than
at any pruvitme time
NEW YORK.
Sines the entire Suspension of specie pay
ments by the Banks, the panic has in a
measure subsided, and the effect is beginning
to be felt in the advance of stock, and in an
increase of business transactions. Much
indimation is espressed against the policy
pinned by the Batiks By their liberal dis
counts arid eugenics's to expand in the Spring,
bi t ities-t men were induced to engage in all
hinds of extravaganc operations, and by their
, uddeii contraction, cruelty nod injustice were
practiced toward those who had involved
themselves by the temptation previously
thrown in their way. Failures and assign
ments :are still common, and large manufac
tories stop every week.
An immense business had been done, for
many years, in the Clothing Department.
A few weeks ago thirty-nine thousand four
hundred and fifty-five persons, males and
females, were employed in the different cloth
ing establishments in the city; of these
twenty five thousand six hundred and sixty
two have been already dismissed,
The pressure has affected All Classes and
conditions; and it is to be greatly feared
that the large religious societies will suffer
heavily in the diminished receipts. There
has been a falling off in the contributions to
the American Home Missionary Society of
$5,888.29, for the month of September, com
pared with the same month last year, while
the contributions of the previous five months
showed an increase of from $B,OOO to $9,000
in favor of the present year.
The receipts of the American Tract So
ciety show a falling off of $11,060.80, in the
last six months, compared with the same time
last year. And to add to the trouble, a font
of American type is now casting under the
care of the Rev. Dr. Riggs, from Constanti-
nople, and the Pilgrim's Progress, Baxter's
Saints' Rest, and other works in the Armenian
language are to be electrotyped here by the
Society, and the plates sent to Turkey for the
use of the mission, which asks $lO,OOO for its
operations during the year.
The Theological Seminaries and Literary
Institutions, will not escape the effects of
the present calamities. But the benevolent
and pious must not be disheartened. Obli
gations to benevolence and religion should
not be forgotten. While we cut off all un
necessary experses, and practice a proper
economy in our modes of living, let us not
fail to support the Boards of our Church,
and all the proper objects of benevolence,
with the same liberal hand as before.
The different Medical Schools have open
ed, with a respectable attendance on the
Lectures
At the late meeting of the New York
Historical Society, a Eulogy on the memory
of the late Lieut. Strain, who fell a victim
to the yellow fever in Central America, was
delivered by the Foreign Corresponding
Secretary, Dr. Robertson. Lieut. Strain is
well known for his efforts in sounding the
Ocean for the Submarine Telegraph between
Europe and America. A small wooden box,
made from the ship Endeavor, in which
Captain Cook circumnavigated the globe,
was exhibited. A basket of pears was pre
sented to the Society, taken from' the old
premises of Goverror Endicott. It is worthy
of note that this pear tree was planted in
1630, and is still in a flourishing condition,
after having given fruit to seven generations-
An artistic work on Ethiopia was also pre
sented by Frederic De Pdster and Benjamin
H. Fields, Esqrs., with an autograph letter
relating to it, from the renowned Humboldt,
now in his eightieth year.
Loud complaints have been made, for
some time, by different religious papers,
with regard to the favor shown Episcopacy,
in the Appointment of Chaplains at West
Point, and Annapolis, and in the Navy. At
the last Baptist Missionary Convention, it
was stated by President Anderson, that a"
Baptist Chaplain in the Navy, of the coast
of Brazil, because of his refusal to employ
the Episcopal Liturgy in his ministrations,
was subjected to indignities and gross insults,
from the Commodore down to the petty offi.
sere; and that the complaint of the Chap
lain to the Secretary of the Navy, was dis
missed as frivolous, and unworthy of atten
tion. It is not improbable, that should this
matter be investigated, it will letd to some
stringent inquiry as to the right of the Epis
copal Church to be considered by officers in
the Navy, in some sort, a State Church.
It is a matter of rejoicing, that notwith
standing the prevailing excitement, the
Claims of the Gospel, and the means of
grace, still occupy a prominent place in the
consideration of Christian men, though
deeply immersed in business. A prayer
meeting, which is well attended, is held
every day, from 12 to 1 o'clock, in the old
Dutch church, in Nassau Street. A third
Concert of Prayer for India, was held in Dr.
Krebs' church, on the evening of Sabbath
week. The house was crowded, and the ex
erciees were very interesting. The Rev. J.
C. Lowrie said that, in India, there were,
previous to the present outbreak, 419 mis
sionaries; 119 assistant missionaries; 1,136
native missionaries; 19,650 communicants;
and about 30,000 scholars in the Mission
schools.
At the late meeting of the General Synod
of the Reformed Dutch Church, the Rev.
Dr. Bethune was elected to the Professor
ship of Ecclesiastical History, made va
cant by the death of Dr. Ludlow, in the
Theological Seminary, at New Brunswick,
N. J. This appointment was declined by
by the Dr., giving, as reasons, his want of
the proper qualifications, and his engage
ments to his present charge.
PHILADELPHIA.
Business is dull, and confidence is diffcult.
to be restored. Vast numbers are out of
employment, and all the benevolent Societies
have in prospect a Winter of activity.
The newspapers are urging the pow'
to remove to the country at once, where the.
means of subsistence can be more easily ob•
tained, and some employment, at least, cm:
be found. In the meantime, there seem'
to be a settled determination to supply thi:
wants of the worthy destitute, as far as pos ,
Bible. Park Benjamin, EN., has been en
gaged to deliver a course of four lectures,
for the benefit of the " Union Temporarp
Borne," for the children of women whor :
necessity compels to leave their houses daily ,
to secure the necessaries of life, in soma.
honest employment.

North-Western Convention of Sabbath
School Teachers.
The Superintendents, Teachers, and other
friends of Sabbath Schools in this city, have re
peaty held several meetings, relative to the
I calling of a Convention of Sabbath School Teach
ers and others interested in the moral and re•
ligious education of children and ynuth, for the
i purpose of discussing various questions pertain
-1 ing to the cause, hoping thereby to devise means
Ifor its extension and greater efficiency.
1 At a meeting of the friends of this project, held
;September 29, the undersigned were appointed a
1 Committee representing sixty two schools in this
Icity, to issue a circular inviting Sunday School
Teachers and all others sympathizing with this
work in the West and North-West, to meet in
Convention in this city, on Wednesday the 11th
1 day of November next, at 4 o'clock P. M., which
.I day has been fixed upon in order to necomodate
those who may wish to attend the North,. Americas
1 Temperance Convention, whose session will cons
1 rnence on Tuesday, the 10th, and in consultation
with the Committee of Arrangements for the
Temperance Convention, it was the unanimous
I opinion that the simultaneous occurrence of the
two would be equally advantageous to both, the
friends and supporters of the oue being generally
such of the other; and besides, arrangements
have been made with nearly all the railroads
leading into this city to pass members to and from
the Temperance Convention at half fare.
It will be necessary for those who wish to avail
themselves of this favor to enroll their names as
• members of the Temperance Convention, in corder
to entitle them to return tickets by the routes by
which they come.
I. Toe warmest hospitalities of our Chrisesa
ifamilies will be extended to members of the Cm
Tendon; but in order that. the Committee of re
ception may secure adequste accommodations, it.
is particularly requested that all who design ici
attend should notify some member of the Coosa
mittee, by letter, before the fifth proximo.
Delegates upon arriving in the city are reques
ted to call at the Methodist Book Depository,
Washington Street, between State and Dea.rborn.
Streets, at S. C. Griggs & Co . 111 Lake Street,
or at the room of the A. S. S. Union, in Garrett's
Block, Randolph Street. corner of State Street,
where members of the Reception Committee will
be in waiting.
It is earnestly desired and honed that every
city end town in the West .and North West may
be represented in this Convention.
Many distinguished friends and advoeintes of
the Sabbath School cause, both at the East and
West, have signified their purpose to attend; and
the success of similar conventions recently held
in different parts of the country, inspires us with
confidence that ours also may be productive of
great good.
You are cordially invited to attend and partici
pate in the discussions, and also furnish us with
such statistics respecting your own and other
schools in your vicinity, as you may be able to
obtain, and it is the earnest wish of the Com
mittee, that, one or more delegates from every
school in the Great West may be in attendance.

Western Correspondence
Da. Mcir.lNNEy :—Reports from Presbyteries
and Synods, are beginning to flow in upon us from
this great North Western field, and the action of
these bodies upon the great questions of import
ance before the Church, is looked for with inter
est. lows, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Illinois,
having Presbyteries and Synods are now taking
Fort in the great enterprises of Zion, and are ex
erting their influences in the settlement of ques
tions, which occupy the attention of Clod's people
in all parts of the earth.
The recent news from India has awakened a
thrill of horror throughout all our borders ; and
our eharches and Presbyteries have "been taking
action in reference to it. Special prayer to the
God of the whole earth has been frequent among
the members of our Church, and the •tpriests and
ministers -of the Lord, have been weeping between
the porch and the altar, " and have said, "Spare
thy people, 0, Lord, ad give not their heritage
to reproach, that the heathen should rule over
them. Wherefore, should they say, where is their
God?"
Terrible as this affliction has been, we hope it
will result in great good to us upon whom, in a
sense, "the ends of the earth have come." Our
people, churches, Presbyteries and Synods indi
cate by tbeir action that they have felt the shock,
and will, i trust, feel a new interest in those dear
brethren, who peril their lives in distant lands to
bear the glad tidings of salvation to the heathen.
We feel that our Western people needed just
such a call as this, dreadful as it has been, to
awaken in them that deep interest which all should
feel in foreign missions. Our own field has been
a mission field, and we have been too mach ab
sorbed with the home work. Let all amnig us
see, in these events, God's call to earnest prayer
for the heathen, and more liberal contributions to
the mission cause.
The Synod of Northern lowa has just closed a
meeting'et Dubuque. Action was taken upon the
subjects of interest connected with the Theologi
cal de.minary, for the North West. The amend
ments to the Constitution of the Seminary, pro
posed by the Board of Directors, contemplating
the unien of the Sj nods of Missouri and Upper
Missouri, as also, Southern lowa, with the Synods
already co-operating, was adopted ; and the whole
report of the Directors was heartily approved.
Dr. Mac Masters has many warm friends in this
Synod, who approve his views upon the subject of
Slavery, regarding those views as conservative,
and substantially those of our Church. Revs. J.
D. Meson and James McKean, and elders Mont
gomery and Kiukaid were elected on the Board of
Directors for the ensuing year. These brethren
are thoroughly resolved to abide by their brethren
in the attempt to carry forward this enterprise,
and mean not to be disheartened though difficul
ties should lie in their pathway. They have
engraved upon their banner *•peraeverantic vincit
crania."
At the recent meeting of the Synod of lowa,
Rev. J. Phelps, D. D., resigned his position as
President of Alexander College, Dubuque. This
item of intelligence wilt be received with regret
and surprise, by those who have known the devo
tion of brother Phelps to the great cause of West
-ern education. I have not learned the reason for
this step, but presume it is due to brother P.'s
desire to devote himbelf more entirely to the work
of the ministry. Ills church in Dubuque, we hope,
will still continue to enjoy hi" valuable services,
and increase rapidly under the undivided labors
of their pastor. Long may he continue to aid in
carrying forward the Lord's work in his old field
of labor.
Rev. Vileroy D. Reed, of Troy, New York, has
been elected to succeed brother •Phelps in the
Presidency of the College. Brother Reed is a
graduate of Union College, so long under charge
of that prince of educators, Dr. E. Nott; he is a
ripe scholar, and successful of the Gospel.
We have not heard that he has yet accepted the
appointment, but Cunt he may do no. We will
be truly pleased to welcome one to afield of labor
upon the banks of the Father of Waters, who has
done such goof service, for so many years, upon
the shores of the Hudson. Brother Reed is yet a
young man, in his prime, and if the Lord should
spare his life, has yet many years of usefulness
before him. We hope he will see, in the rising
greatness of this mighty empire of the West, a,
theatfe of usefulness so inviting, that he will not
hesitate to enter it.
The Presbytery of Rock River is now in session
(Oct 14th.) at Fulton, on the East bank of the
Mississippi, due West from Chicago. This place
seems to be growing. Brother W. C. Mason nos
here, (as known to the reach rs of the Banner and
Advocate,) u church enterprise of much promise.
The society to which he labors is yet young, but
a church edifice of a very fine character has been
begun, and a neat basement room of some forty
feet square, completed. In this room, the Presby
tery is now meeting. Rev. Samuel Cleland, an
old laborer in this state, is noting as Moderator,
and Rev. Jacob Coon, well known to Penos•ylva
nia and Ohio Presbyterians, is writing by his
side, keeping the Minutes.
This Presbytery has heen doing something, for
years past, toward supplying the Germans, in
Northern Illinois, with the Gospel. They have,
at present, quite a flourishing German church in
Galena, under charge of Rev. A. Kolb, an earn
est, warm-hearted German. Presbytery is also
shout to license another German or Hollander
brother, to go out and carry the Gospel to this
highly interesting class of our citizens. The ex
amination of this brother was one of the most in
teresting items of business coming before the
Presbytery.
The Synods of lowa, North and South, have
bad their meetings, and have both had up for dis
cussion the matters connected with the Theologi
cal Seminary for the North-West. The Synod
of Southern lowa voted, by a decided majority,
to place the Seminary - entirely under the control
of the General Assembly. To this vote, there wus
but one dissenting voice. The Synod of North
ern D:iwa raft:Med Co affirm that Dr. MatMeatbr's
views, FL s expressed in his paper before the Board
of Directors, upon the subject of Slavery, were in
c :.xelftrice with the views of the General Assem
bly. This Synod, however, in a thin house, and,
as we are informed, when several of the members
were absent, elected a set of Directors to the
Board, whose views differ somewhat from those
of the persons elected last year. We think, how
ever, that the sentiment of the Synod has not
changed, from all we con learn; but if a full ex
pression of views could be secured, the Synod
would still he decidedly favorable to placing the
Seminary under control of the Assembly. The
Synod of Chicago is now in session (Oct. 17th,)
at Diann, Illinois, and will no doubt act upon
this important question. I cannot delay my let
ter longer, but will hope to give you early intima
tion of their doings. This Synod has nearly one
hundred delegates in attendance. Dr. Rice is
present, but not having yet united with the Pres
bytery of Chicago, he is not a member of Synod.

Kansas.
There seems to have been much anxiety about
election returns. One district, Oxford, said to
contain only some sixty voters, returned over six..
teen hundred majority for the Democratic ticket.
Counting these would elect members, giving a
Democratic majority in both Houses of the Legit
lature ; rejecting them, would give the Repub
licans the majority. In either case it is said that
the Republicans have elected Parrott, their Con:.
gresaman. But as now appears, the Oxford vote,
so evidently fraudulent, is to be rejected. A dis
patch from St. Louis says:
A protest signed by several prominent citizens
of Kansas was filed, on the 16th, against fraudu
lent returns from Oxford precinct, in Johnston
County, in reply to whioh, after personal investi
gation, Walker and Stanton publish a proclama
tion in the Herald of fireedom of the 30th, ex
pressing a determination to reject the entire vote
of Oxford, and give the certificates to the free
State candidates. The proclamation produced in
tense excitement, and threats of vengeance were
made against the Governor and Secretary. On
the 19'h a protest was made against assembling
the Constitutional Convention by a mass conven
tion of the people at Lecompton.
Utah
Sr. Louis, Oct 28 —The Republican publishes ,a
discourse dlivered by Herber C. Kimball at Salt
Lake City, on August 30, in which strong grounds
are taken against the government. A determina
tion is expressed to resist the U. S. troops to the
last extremity. The women and children were
called upon to arm themselves, and the people
generally exhorted to lay up grain—otherwise, to
prepare for conflict. Daring his discourse Kim
ball said: "We are the kingdom of God and the
State of Desseret, and will have Brigham Young
for Governor just so long as be lives."
Brigham Young also made a speech. He wag
equally as hold in his declarations of hostility
against the United States.

Lancaster Mercantile College.
It is only a few months since this College was
established and incorporated by the Legislature,
and during its brief period of operations, it has
had to encounter the most violent abuse and op
position from those fearing fair competition; but
notwithstanding all this, it has held its way suc
cessfully, and, at the present time, is in a highly
flourishing condition—promising to become in a
abort time the foremost Mercantile College in
Ea4ern Pennsylvania. Indeed, the graduates of
this College have already begun to supplant those
of other Institutions; and at the late meeting of
the " Lan caster County Agricultural and Mechan
ical Society," the Lancaster Mercantile College,
was awarded Diploma (highest premium) for best
Penmanship and double Entry Book keeping.
These things, taken in connexion with the rapid
increase in the number of its students, show un
mistakable evidence of its growing popularity,
and fully recommends this Institution to the fav
orable consideration of the public; particulars of
which may be obtained by addressing the Princi
pal, as per advertisement in another column.

A Great Medicine for Females
Hundreds of stimulants have been invented and
sold purporting to be specific in the various dis
eases' and derangements to which the delicate
form of woman render her subject. The result
of all these stimulants has been to impart mo
mentary activity to the nervous system, and false
vigor to the muscles; but this relief has been suc
ceeded by a depression and prostration greater
than before; and the repeated attempts of in
valids to build themselves -up by these false
remedies, have finally ended in destroying what
little vital organization was left. But in using
" Eicerhaves Holland Bitters," you will find no
such disastrous results. It is a purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific prin
ciples, after the manner of the celebrated Holland
Professor, Bcerhave. Under its influence, every
nerve and muscle receives new strength and vigor,
appetite and sleep return, and finally, perfect
health.

This Restorative for making the hair grow,
stopping its falling out, and restoring gray hair
to its original color, is becoming celebrated. All
the quack nostrums are giving way before it.
Three-fourths of the mixtures for restoring and
beautifying the hair, do it more injury .than good.
They burn it up—destroy the life at its roots—
make the hair fall off,
- apt produce premature
Mildness. Bat Prof. Woote Risterative may be
relied upon as containing nothing which can in
any manner be injurious to the hair, while its
success in accomplishing what it pretends to do,
has been verified in hundreds of cases. We ad
vise gray heads, and heads getting bald—all who

The news by the Europa and the Baltic is to the
14th inst. It is interesting as regards financial
affairs. The monetary crisis in the United States
had produced great stringency in Europe. The
Bank of England raised its discounts to 7 per
cent., and there was a probability of a farther
rise. Consols, usually ninety-two to ninety-three,
fell to eighty-eight to eighty-nine. There were
a number of heavy failures, and more anticipated.
In France and other places on the continent,
the effects were similar.
There was produced a severe stringency in
Paris, and a contraction by the Bank of France.
Two speculators in stocks on the Paris Bourse
had absconded, being defaultors to the amount
respectively of three millions and two millions of
francs. The Bank of Holland bad raised its rate
,of discount to five and a half per cent. In Vienna
the financial pressure continued very severe,
numerous failures had occurred, and one broker
committed suicide, while another absconded, be
ing a defaulter to a large amount. The Bank of
Prussia has raised its rate of discount to six and
a half per cent. The death of the Xing of
Prussia was so imminent at the last accounts, that
I all the members of the royal family were assem
, bled around him at Potsdam. The financial
troubles seem to have caused a great political
change, for it appears that the difficulty of ob
taining loans for government uses has rendered a
reduction of 'expenditures by the European mon
archs indispensable : and to this end it was pro
posed, at the late meeting of crowned heads, to
make a general reduction in the standing armies.
This is said to have been the main object of that
meeting.
The town of Galata, in Turkey, has been nearly
destroyed by fire. Paper money in Turkey has
depreciated twenty per cent. The insurrections
in Persia have been suppressed.
Two slavers have been captured on the West
Coast of Africa, one of them being the American
brigantine Sarah Jane.
The Baltic brought £72,000 sterling and one
hundred and sixty passengers.
The steamer Red Jacket, from Australia, ar
rived at Southampton, with 72,000 ounces of
gold.
It is said that Nena Sahib, the Sepoy General,
being resolved not to be taken alive by the British
troops, has a body guard who are strictly ordered
to kill him rather than see him captured. There
are said to be thirty thousand mutineers between
Cawnpore and Lueknow.
The news from India is slightly cheering. Cal
cutta dates are to the 10th of September, and
Bombay to the 17th. An assault bad not been
made on Delhi, at the latest accounts received.
The siege train was expected to have reached
there on the 3d of September, when offensive
operations would commence.
General Havelock remained at Cawnpore, but
would be reinforced in a few days by Gen. Outram,
who had reached Allababad with a strong force.
The garrison at Lucknow was gallantly holding
out, and would be relieved by the middle of Sep
tember.
The India dispatches state that Gen. Nicholson
had defeated the rebels at Majofghar, with the
loss of their guns.
Gen. Havelock had also defeated the rebels near
Bithour on the 16th of August.
The garrison at Lucknow had made a gallant
and victorious sortie, capturing the guns of the
mutineers, and also a supply of provisions.
The Dinapore mutineers had been again defeat
ed by Maj. Eyre.
The rebels were threatening Allahabad and
Benares. Large bodies of troops were marching
from Calcutta to Allahabad. Troops were also
arriving at Calcutta from England, their trans
port having-been effected with great rapidity.
A dispatch to the London Forts says that the
British forces had attacked Lucknow Castle,
spiked the guns, and inflicted a heavy loss upon
the enemy.

watched over her with tender solicitude. She
suffered greatly, until God, in his meroiful kind
ness, took her home to heaven, where we hope she
is happy with her dear mother, and is resting,
peacefully and calmly, on the bosom of our blessed
Saviour; who, when on earth, said so kindly,
" Suffer little children to come unto me, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.

" Ere sin could blight, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly oare ;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there."
In the death of this amiable child, we recognize
the hand of a kind Father ; for we have reason to
believe that he took not our young friend away
from earth until he had prepared her for an eter
nal, happy home in heaven. For nine months
she was an anxious inquirer after the way
of salvation, but not until about two months be-
fore her death did she enjoy the blessed hope of
the Christian. The Bible was her daily compan
ion. She took great pleasure in reading religious
books, such as Baxter's Sainte' Rest; and she was
grieved when she saw some of her intimate com
panions living thoughtless of eternity. Her kind
and cheerful disposition made her admired by all
within her acquaintance. We will miss her very
much in the Sabbath School and Bible Class. In
examinations in the Shorter Catechism, her cor
rect and prompt answers often cheered her pas
tor's heart. She left an affectionate mother, sis
ter, and two brothers to mourn her departure.
"But they sorrow not as those who have no
hope." The last words she uttered were : Come,
Lord Jesna, come quickly."
DtEn—At her residence, North Common, Alle
gheny City, on the 2d alt., Mrs. SA.TIAH MURAT,
in the 80th year of her age.
The deceased was a native of Tuscarora Valley,
Pa. She was twice married. By her first hus
band, Samuel Rippy, Esq., she had seven children,
the youngest of which was but a month old when
be died. After nine years, she was married to
the late J. Murry, Esq., of Murrysville, who
lived sixteen years, and whose widow she had
been for more than twenty years. Her children,
her only grand-child, and her brothers and sis
ters are all dead; in view of which, she has often
been heard to say, "I am as a tree alone, and
stripped of every leaf and branch." She has
long been a consistent member of the Presbyte-
Tian Church. The later years of her Christian
life are known to the writer, and he can speak
with pleasure of many pleasant seasons spent in
conversation on the great themes of religion. She
spent much time in secret prayer, and in reading
the Bible. That she loved the sanctuary and the
prayer•meeting, she manifested by her constant
rresence there. That she loved the cause of
Christ, she showed by her gifts and labors while
she lived ; and by remembering the Boards of our
beloved Zion in her last will. Though, owing, in
part at least, to a nervous temperament, she was
troubled by temptations and doubts, and at times
with fears of death, yet, to speak to her of Christ
and heaven, was a key to open her heart to re
ceive new courage, and to show the grace of
Christ already given. Though a member of the
First church, Allegheny, she was buried at Beulah,
(Rev. Mr. Hastings',) where her mother, first
husband, and several of ber children rest. "At
midnight," (for she died at midnight,) 4 , there was
a cry, behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out
to meet him."
Reader, though you may live to be the last of
your family, and though "the midnight cry "may
not come in the morning, or at noon, as it often
does, yet, it will certainly come. Be ye, there
fore, ready "For blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord."
