Pg. :—Readers of the Ban-1
r ..1111,ratc, residing iu the States of
Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa, who feel an
iLtercst in the establishment of the North-
Western Seminary, at Chicago, and who
lqive been watching the movements connected
that enterprise, express no little 5W
,,i1.0 at two facts, apparent from your report
ut the recent meeting of the Board at Chi
as priblished in 3 our issue of November
The first is, the discovery recently
made by a niaj,rity of the Board that each
nvry Synod wishing, to co-operate, must first
make a formal application to each Synod
a l rea dy admitted, obtain through this for
nd application the consent of two thirds,
a ,d then be received. We call this a dis•
merry recently made, for certainly it was
m , r dreamed of at that meeting of the Board,
,hen it was resolved to recommend the
Synods engaged, to consent to the admission
Missouri, Upper Missouri, and Southern
lowa Why did not the Board at that time
take the position now held, and by so doing
supersede the necessity of such a recom
mendation to the Haven Synods ? Simply
because this interpretation of the constitu
tion was not then thought of. It is also
abundantly apparent, from the action of the
f,ur Synods agreeing to the admission of
Missouri, that they had not the most remote
thought that the constitution could or would
be so construed as it has been. No one
suggested the idea in any one of the four
Synods, during the discussion of the ques
tions, so far as we can learn. They will,
however, now understand, that each Synod
seeking admission to aid in helping forward
this work, must, like a Methodist itinerant,
enter the circuit, and urge his cause at the
bar of each Synod.
The second fact which surprises your
readers in this region, is the apparent jeal
ousy with which new Synods are met in
their application for co operation. Hereto.
fore there has been something of an effort
wade to enlist as large a sisterhood of Synods,
as possible, in the special work contemplated,
to place, if possible, its success beyond a
contingency. But now a two•third vote,
instead of a simple majority, is needed to
admit any Synod; and the very first that
apply, are met with every technical objection
which can be raised; an exceedingly strict
construction is put upon the constitution—
a construction which certainly a majority of
the Synods did not put upon it—and upon
that construction one of the two applying is
shut out, and the other admitted by a major
ity of but one. We know that the State of
Missouri bad some difficulty some years ago
iu attaining admission into the Union, and
we know that politicians still scrutinize with
a jealous eye, the claims of other Territories
seeking a place as States in the Confederacy;
but we know of no good reason why Synods
of the Presbyterian Church in good stand
ing should be debarred from this great
Church enterprise. It becomes the Board
wisely to consider this matter. There is at
present a body of three hundred ministers
and four hundred and fifty churches, South-
West, West and North of the city of Chi
cago, who, if God gives wisdom in the
Board, may be united in this great work of
founding a Theological Seminary for the
Not th• West. But their 00-operation will
not be secured if they are to be met with
•
suspieten,
The Valley of the llfiesissippi is frequent
ly referred to by writers from this region.
The expression is somewhat indefinite, and
your readers may not be unwilling to con
sider its boundaries and extent, and &intern.
plate some of its advantages, that they may,
in future, have a somewhat more precise idea
of it. If they will examine the map, they
will perceive a system of rivers having the
Mississippi in the centre, which give to the
country through which they run,
the ap•
pearanoe of a large palm leaf, with its stem
resting upon the Gulf of Mexico This is
the great basin of the Mississippi Valley.
The Eastern portion of it is drained by the
Hianoehitto, the Yazoo, the Ohio, the 1111.
nois, and the Upper Mississippi • the West
ern by the Red River, the Washita, the
Arkansas, the White, St. Francis, and
Onge, the Kansas, the Triple Platte, the
II E u qui•Cours, and the Yellow Stone.
These streams are all navigable fora great dis•
tenet°, and are all rivers of great importance.
The aggregate length of the navigable chan
nel of these rivers is twenty two thousand
five hundred miles having a shore of forty.
five thousand miles, nearly equal to twice
the distance around the globe. It is esti
mated by those who pretend to know, that
this furnishes facilities for navigation, and an
extent of coast, equal to the Atlantic Ocean.
This basin, if populated as thick as it might
be, would sustain eleven hundred millions
people. Christian, look at these facts. Pon
der them, and in your plans to provide for
the future of .this great Valley, in reference
to its intellectual and spiritual wants ; be not
niggardly, but devise liberal things.
Rev. John M. McElroy, of the Preeby-
tery of Des Moines, writes that he was
incapacitated for labor during most of the
last Summer, in consequence of a sun.strok a,
or something like it. This brother is at
Ottumwa, on the Des Moines river, the
flourishing county seat of Wapello County,
and sends many items of news, among which
are the following :
" A call was laid before the Presbytery of
Des Moines, by the church of Chariton, for
the ministerial labors of Mr. John Ander•
son, and steps were taken with a view to his
ordination and installation at a future time.
Mr. A. has been for several years connected
with the High School at Fairfield, lowa,
formerly known as a branch of the State
University. The field upon which he enters,
is an important and. promising one.
" The First church of Burlington, lowa,
reoently vacated by the resignation of Dr.
Harrison, have employed, as stated supply,
Mr. W. L. Mitchell, late of Princeton The
ological Seminary, and a licentiate of the
Presbytery of Lafayette, Missouri. This
young brother I have known intimately for
several years past, and I trust the Master
will make him eminently useful in the im
portant field in which he has been called to
labor,
" A Committee of our Presbytery, lately
organized a church at Corydon, Wayne
iieunty, comprising sixteen members, four
of w h om w ere duly inducted into the office
of Ruling Elder, Thus we are progressing
Westward, this latter church being near our
Western boundary.
"The Winter is likely to be a trying one
on our Western missionaries. Food, we are
likely to be supplied with, is provision is
abuodant, but money, and suoh things as
only money can procure, we must, to a con
sidtrable extent, be without. A gentleman,
whom I met recently, informed me that one
of our ministers in Nebraska (one whom I
ham intimately at Princttoo, and who is
(king a good wurk,) had said to him a few
days previous, that owing to the failure of
missionary funds, he was compelled to have
recourse to daily labor, to maintain himself
and his little family."
Has it indeed come to this, that our mis
sionarie- are compelled to labor with their
hand, neglecting their appropriate work, be
cause of the poverty of this Lord's treasury ?
Who will learn this fact, and not feel dis-
pcsed to send, at once, another dollar to the
Board of Missions ?
November, 1857, has been regarded as
the most severe month of the name that has
ever been experienced by the oldest inhab
itant of the West. The Thermometer was
down, several days, below zero, and in Wis
consin, Northern Illinois, lowa, and Minne
sota, much snow fell and lay upon the
ground. December, however, has com
menced with a bland smile, which, we fear,
may be chanced before we are done with
him, into one of his fiercest frowns.
Yours, NORTH-WEST.

Washington.
The two Houses of Congress met on Monday,
the 7th, and were duly organized.
SENATE.—The Vice President, by letter, inti
mated that he could not be present, and Mr. Fitz?
patrick was chosen President, pro. tem.
Mr. Fitzpatrick returned thanks, when the usu
al resolutions were adopted to inform the House,
and the . President of the United States, of an or
ganization. The Senate then went into Executive
session, and confirmed the President's nomination
of Geo. W. Bowman, editor of the Bedford Gazette,
as Superintendent of Public Printing.
HOUBE.—Two hundred and twenty-one mem
bers answered to their names. A quorum being
thus ascertained to be present, the House pro
ceeded to the election of Speaker. Mr. Orr was
nominated by Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr.
Grow by Mr. Banks, which resulted as follows :"
Orr. 128 ; Grow, 84 ; scattering, 13. The annun
ciation was greeted with applause. The Clerk
appointed Messrs. Stevens and Beaks to conduct
Mr. Orr to the Chair. The oath was administered
by Mr. Giddings.
On assuming the chair, he expressed his thanks
for the honor conferred, and said the delicate and
responsible duties of the chair would be compara
tively light if he should be so fortunate as to se
cure the co•operation of the members in dispatch
ing business and upholding the dignity of the
House. He promised to administer the rules
which may be adopted, with firmness and impar
tiality. The great business confided to them by
the people, admonished them to cultivate a spirit
of p'triotism as extensive as the confederacy
itself.
He obarishod the hope that business would be
trans.aoted in such a manner as to promote the
ihterest and happiness of the entire people ; that
the. Constitution would be maintained in its integ
rity, and that their legislation would quicken the
greatness and glory of our common country. '
The members were then sworn—advancing by
delegations for the purpose—after which the
House adjourned, without transacting any other
business.
DKO. 8.-SENATE- - The Message was received
and read.
Mr. Douglas remarked that he concurred cor
dially and heartily in the views of the President
therein expressed, with the exception of that
portion in relation to Kansas and the action of the
Lecompton Convention. At an early day he
would give his views, and the reasons why Le be
lieved the people of Kansas had not been left, as
the organic act declared, perfectly free to form
and regulate their institutions in their own way.
Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, concurred •in Mr.
Douglas'. views respecting the Leoompton move
ment.
Mr. Davis concurred in the views of the Presi
dent, concerning the Kansas question.
Mr. Bigler gave notice that he should defend
the position assumed by the President, to the best
of his ability, and respond to Mr. Douglas.
Mr. Hale spoke in opposition to the Constitu
tion formed by the Lecompton Convention; ar
guing that it would perpetuate slavery in Kansas,
no matter whether the people either accepted or
rejected the slavery clause.
Mr. Seward should be glad to hear the support
ers of the President explain his position, for it
seemed to him that the message was very lame
and impotent in its arguments on Kansas, and
that something more would be necessary to satisfy
the public mind, than was contained in the docu
ment itself. •
Mr. Mason was free to declare that all the in
formation for the last six months, relative to
Kansas affairs,! had come from questionable
sources. If he understood the President's posi
tion, and he thought that he did, the President's
position was impregnable.
Mr. Trumbull denied that the Legislature of
Kansas had authority to initiate the convention.
Mr. Brown said there seemed to be great anx
iety to enter into discussion, and especially to
find fault. They had beard the message imper
fectly read by the clerk, and therefore could not
understand it He asked Senators to pause and
sleep on the document before indulging in debate.
On his motion, the Senate adjourned.
House.—Mr. Smith, of Virginia, offered a res
olution providing for the appointment of a com
mittee to examine into the subject of the public
printing, the election of printer, to be postponed
until their report shall be made. He said it was
believed that an enormous corruption was con
nected with this subject, and hence the necessity
of an investigation. •
Mr. Clemens moved to elect a printer first, and
then afterwards to investigate.
Mr. Houston, who had moved to proceed to the
election of a printer, expressed his willingness to
agree to the method proposed.
The debate was here interrupted by the recep
tion of the President's Message. After the read
ing of the document, Mr. Bocoek appealed to the
House to complete its organization by electing a
public printer.
Mr. Prow advised the House to commence the
reform of the government printing department by
curtailing the enormous expenditures which had
created our government into a rival with all the
book establishments in the country. Books were
sent out by Congressional authority which were
really not worth the paper on which they, were
printed.
Without concluding the subject the House ad
journed.
The Southern mail which arrived this evening,
brings the Mobile Register of the 30th ult. That
paper learns that the rumor was received at New
Orleans, by the Daniel Webster, that the steamer
Fashion had landed General Walker and his band
of filibusters in Nicarangna, and was on her way
back to New Orleans.
Col. Richardson, of Illinois, has been formally
tendered the Governorship of Nebraska.
The entire Globe and the supplement, issued to-
day, are occupied with an exposition of the alleged
frauds on the purchase of books during the last
Congress. The publication has prqduced much
sensation, particularly about the capitol.
Mr. Allen, Clerk of the House of Representa
tives, has appointed John F. Carter, of Pennsyl
vania, his Chief Clerk.
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
We present below, a very brief but comprehen
sive abstract of this document, sent by telegraph.
Next week our readers may expect the entire
message.
WASHINGTON, December B.—The President in
his message says, that owing to the monetary de
rangements of the country a government loan may
be required before the close of the present session.
The financial history of the last forty years has
been one of extravagant expansions in business,
followed by ruinous contractions. The Federal
Government cannot do much to provide against ex
isting evils. We must rely mainly on the patriot
ism and wisdom of the several States, which should
afford a real specie basis for our circulation. The
President recommends the passage of a Bank
rupt law applicable to all banking institutions in
the country.
As Great Britain and the United States under
stand the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in senses directly
opposite, the President says the wisest course is
to abrogate it by mutual consent, and commence
anew. Overtures for the adjustment of our diffi
culties have been recently made by the British
government in a friendly spirit, which the Presi
dent cordially reciprocates.
With all other governments, except Spain, our
relations are as peaceful as we could desire. It
is the President's purpose to send out Ministers,
with special instructions on all questions pending
between the two governments, and with the deter
mination to have them speedily and amicably ad
justed, if possible. While our Minister to China
has been instructed to occupy a neutral position
with regard to the existing hostilities at Canton,
he will cordially co-operate with the British and
French Ministers in all peaceful measures, to se
cure by treaty stipulations those just concessions
to commerce which the nations of the world have
a right to expect, and which China cannot be
permitted to withhold. Our difficulties with New
1 Granada, are, it is to be hoped, in a fair way to be
I settled in a manner just and honorable to both par
, ties. The United States are more deeply interest
ed than any other nation in preserving the freedom
and security of all the communications across the
Isthmus of Central America, including that of Pan
ama. He recorn mends the passage of an act authori
zing the President, in case of necessity, to ern
ploy the land and naval forces to carry into effect
I the guarantee of our neutrality laws, and similar
1 legislation for the security of any other route
across the Isthmus, in which we may hereafter
acquire an interest by treaty: The President
condemns the lawless expeditions fitted out
against independent republics on this continent,
; and commends the whole subject to the serious
attention of Congress; believing that our duty
and interest, as well as our national character,
requires that we adopt such measures as will be
effectual in restraining our citizens from commit
ting such outrages.
The President says the Kansas Constitutional
Convention was not bound by the Kansas Ne
braska act, to submit any other portion of the
Constitution to election, except that which relates
to the domestic institution of Slavery. The
election will be held under legitimate authority,
and if any portion of the inhabitants refuse to
vote, a fair opportunity to do so having been
presented to them, this will be their own voluntary
act, and they alone will be responsible for the
consequences.
The President says the rebellion in Utah is the
first which has ever existed in our Territories,
and humanity requires that it should be put
down, in such a manner as it shall seem best. In
order to do this, it will be necessary to raise four
additional regiments of troops. He also recom
mends the establishment of a territorial agent for
Arizonie„ and commends to the friendly consider.,
ation of Congress-the subject of the Pacific Rail , -
; road, without finally committing himself to any
i particular route. He also calls the especial atten
; tion of Congress to the recommendation of the
' Secretary of the Navy. to favor the construction
of ten small steamers, light draught. The Presi
dent refers to Congress other subjects of national
importance.

The President's Message
From Our Army in Utah.
ST. Louis, December B.—The express passed
through yesterday to Washington, with despatches
from Col. Johnson. The Republican received
letters this morning to November Bd. The Mor
mons run off six hundred cattle- in eight of Col.
Alexander's camp, near Ham's fork, on Green
river. At the date of the letter it was supposed
Col. Johnson had concentrated his forces with
Col. Alexander. It was expected that Col. CooVs
command would nightly be with them.
They expected to Winter on Henry's Fork, Green
river. There was a good deal of suffering from
want of provisions and clothing, and the horses
were giving out from the want of forage.
Gov. Cumming, and other officers, determined
to get into Lake City, if possible. The Mormons
determined on resistance to their entry, either as
military or civil officers. A skirmish between
Alexander's troops and the Mormons, resulted in
the capture of three or four of the latter.
Elections for Mayor.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 7.—Anson Phelps,
Republican, was re-elected Mayor of this city to
day.
New Beuronn, Mass., Dee. 7.—G. H. Dunbar,
Republican, was re elected Mayor of this city by
ten plurality over Mr. Harland, the Citizens' can.
didate. The latter carried a majority in Councils'
LAWRENCE, Dec 7.—John R. Rollins has been
chosen Mayor of this city.
Items.
Gov. Bourwar.r. stated to the editor of the Ohio
Slate Journal, that the aggregate of subscriptions
to the great work of Prof. Agassiz, entitled,
"Contributions to the 'Natural History of the
United States," two volumes of which have
already been published, amounts to upwards of
a million and a quarter of dollars. This probably
has no parallel in the history of scientific litera
ture.
YALE COLLEGE.—The present number of stu
dents, as given by the catalogue just published,

THE STEXIBEFI'TILLE RAILROAD COMPANY, some
time since, sued several of the original stockhold
ers, for instalments on their stock, and were met
by the defence that they had transferred their
stock, to irresponsible persons, and were thereby
released from further liability; in which they
were sustained by the DiStriet Court. In one of
these cases, taken to the Supreme Court, that
tribunal has decided the defendants to be liable.
This decision will govern sundry other cases.—

OHIO Wool.—The Ohio clip of 1857 is estimated
to exceed that of 1856 by at least three millions
pounds. The counties in the centre of the State
are now as famous for their fine wool as they for
merly were for their great crops of wheat. The
estimated value is $6,000,000.

the day, casting such a light over the whole sub

stored by experience and familiar with all its real

I take great pleasure in saying to you that I made
use of Bcerhave's Holland Bitters, which I ob
tained at your store, and found special relief of a
severe headache, from which I had long sneered,
and I believe they were of service to me in re
lieving my stomach and head.
Very respectfully, &c.,
Mr. Silas J. Liscomb, of Birmingham, says:,
"I have found in Bcerhave's Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has
also used it with the greatest benefit."
Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re
marks that he has experienced much relief from
its use for headache.
Mr. John Davidson, living ten miles above
Pittsburgh, on the Pennsylvania Canal, says . :
,4 When I commenced taking Bmrhave's Hol
land Bitters, I could hardly walk. Now I enjoy
excellent health."

There can be no doubt that it is one of the

DlED—November 12, at her residence in Equal
ity, 111., Mrs. MAGDALENA NEELY, wife of Mr.
John Oberly.
She was much loved by all who knew her. The
Lord called her out of health ; but in the midst
of life we are in death.
She hath gone to the land whence is no returning,
To a clime ne'er viewed by a mortal eye,
Where the wail of sorrow and weeds of mourning
Ne"er thrill the heart or go rustling by.
And there she dwells with the hliseful-hearted,
By the river of life, in the vales of God, .
And the dearly-loved and early departed
Are with her there in that blest abode.
And happily she, in those homes of heaven
That dotteth the vale of its golden clime,
Is waiting oar coming, when death has riven
The chain of life on the shores of time.

DIED—At his residence in Westmoreland Co.,
Pa., August 20th, 1857, Mr. WILLIAM FINLEY,
in the 86th year of his age. ,
He became a professed follower of Christ
early in life—probably in his nineteenth year—
end his name is, found enrolled as a Ruling
Elder in 1808, his forty-fifth year. The duties
of this office he•discharged with unusual ability
and fidelity, until disabled by age and infirmity.
DIED-At Rock Run, Stephenson County, Illi
nois, Oct. 23d, Mr. Sam= Nun, in the 33d year
of his age.
The deceased was a native of Centre County,
Pa., and previous to his removal. West, five years
ago, resided for a time in Clarion County, Pa.,
where he first made a profession of religion, end
attached himself to the church of New Rehoboth,
under the pastoral care of Rev. James Montgom
ery. Mr. Neil was a consistent and exemplary
member of the Presbyterian church of Rock Run,
within whose bounds he resided for about four
years. Having lived the life of the righteous,
his last end was like his, full of hope and peace.

Drsn—At his residence near Clarkson, Colum
biana County, Ohio, Nov. 7th, Mr. JAMBS ARM
STRONG, in the 67th year of his age.
Mr. Armstrong's sudden and unexpected death
speaks, loudly, "Be ye also ready, for in such an
hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh." He
had enjoyed good health until a few months be.
fore his decease, and was able still to go around
and attend to his business, as usual, till the even•
lug previous. That evening, he took his supper
and attended to family worship, as usual, and re
tired to rest. About 11 o'clock he became very
sick, and breathed his last about 2 o'clock in the
morning. He spoke but a few words; was calm
and composed ; said he would soon be with Jesus.
We trust he was ready. He was pleasant and
amiable. In all the associations of private life,
and in all his official relations with the Church of
his choice, he was emphatically a man of peace
upon the principles of the Gospel of Christ. His
heart and hand were open to the cause of Christ,
and he delighted much in the ordinances. He was
but recently ordained to the office of Ruling El
der, and the last Sabbath he spent on earth, he
assisted in the administration of the Lord's Sup
per. "He walked with God and is not,
* for God
took him."
[Preacher and Presbyterian will please copy.]
Dien—November 19th, at his residence near
Cedar Rapids, lowa, WILLIAM S. Tuomrsow, in
the 48th year of his ago.
The deceased was long a resident of Pittsburgh,
Pa. He was a member of the Sixth Presbyterian
church in that city, and on his removal to lowa,
united with the Presbyterian church of Cedar
Rapids. Religion was the choice of his early
years—his consolation , during a lingering disease.
.Near his end its promises became more precious;
its joys more exquisite; and his heart revived at
the Christian's voice. Much of his last Weeks was
spent in prayer and praise; many a broken desire
was expressed for the salvation of his children.
With`" a good hope through grace," he fell asleep.
DIED—On the 15th of Oatobei in Pine Grove,
Centre County, ORLANDO P., son Of Alexander and
Margaret Sample, aged 4 years and 11 days.
The deceased was a most interesting and prom
ising child. Armind him were entwined the worm
affections of tender-hearted and indulgent parents,
who mourn in the bitternees of their souls, be
cause he is not. He was a lamb of the flock, and
a member of the Church of the Lord Jesus, hav
ing been inducted into his visible kingdom by the
solemn rite of Christian baptism. We trust that
le has gone to be forever with Him, who gracious
ly said, in the days of his flesh, Suffer little
children to come.unto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of God." T. S.
DIED—On Sabbath. morning, September 13th,
at her residence, at La Grange Centre, La Grange
County, Indiana, Many Mrs. McCosr, aged 79 years
and 9 months.
Mrs. McCoy united with the Presbyterian
Church, in Washington County, Pa., in 1802, and
was a subject of the great revival in that .place.
In 1806, she moved to Trumbull County, Ohio,
and in 1826 moved from there to Wayne County,
Ohio, and in 1846 moved to La Grange. The
cause of her death was disease of the lungs. She
suffered a great deal of pain, which she bore with
humble resignation ; being fully assured that her
end would be peace. After bidding farewell, and
giving a charge to her children and friends around
her, she lifted up her eyes. and prayed, saying,
"Lord Jesus receive my spirit ;" and her peace
ful soul departed without a struggle. Mrs. MOO.
has left a large connexion to mourn ber loss as a
mother in Israel.
DIED—On the 80th of Ootober, Mrs. MARGAVET
MLWHERTES, wife of George Mewherter, of Con
gruity, >Westmoreland County, Pa., in the 63d
year of her age.
Mrs. Mewherter bad been for thirty-six years
a member of the Presbyterian Church, and during
her last iUnees, which was protracte‘she seemed
to enjoy the sUpport and consolation which relig
ion only can afford. Her calmness and composure,
in the prospect of death, were extraordinary.
Nearly four months before her decease, while she
was yet able to travel a little, she went to a neigh
boring village, purchased her funeral clothing,
had it made up under her own eye, and laid it
away with her own hands. As the time of her
departure drew near, she gave minute directions
respecting her funeral, and told her family that
she wished to die in an arm chair which she kept
in her room, in which she had frequently seated
herself while she was able, and been placed by her
attendants after she became unable to walk, which
was only a few days before her death. Two or
three hours before she ceased to breathe, she
expressed n desire to be placed in her chair; and
while being supported there by her husband, her
epirit took its flight. "May I die the death of
the righteous, and may my last end be like his."
DIED-Of dysentery, at the Lake House, on
Monday the 7th inst., at 12 o'clock M., Rev.
THOMAS R. ELDER, in the 24th year of hie age,
.. _
and the fifth month of his ministry
Mr. Elder was a native of Eldersridge, Indiana
County, Pa. In 1847 he began his classical
studies under the supervision Of Rev. A. Donald
son, in Eldersridge Academy, with perhaps no
definite object in view; but in 1850, during a re
vival of religion, serious impressions were made
upon his mind by the Spirit of God, which in
creased till in the following Spring, when he was
enabled to consecrate himself and all his powers to
the service of Christ. In 1854 he was graduated
at Jefferson College, Pa., with credit to himself
and his instructors. In the Fall of the same
year, he entered the junior class in the Western
Theological Seminary, to pursue his studies for
the ministry. The second year was spent partly
in teaching in Eldersridge Academy and in
private study with Rev. A. Donaldson. In the
Fall of 1856 he was licensed by the Presbytery of
Blairsville, with the design of laboring in the
Lake Superior region during the coming Sum
mer. He returned to the Seminary to complete
his studies, but his health failing in December,
the remainder of the Winter was spent at home.
A favorable change having taken place, he was
ordained as an Evangelist in April, by the Pres-
bytery of Saltsburg. In May he was married,
and having been commissioned as Domestic Mis
sionary, he left Pennsylvania•on the 2d of July,
and after delaying a few days at• Ontonagon,
reached Bayfield on the 17th. As far as his still
feeble strength would permit, he entered at once
upon his work,•and his rapidly improving health,
under the influence of a pure and bracing climate,
gave promise that he could soon labor Vigorously
in his Master's cause. But God had other - work
for him to do.
On the 16th of August he assisted in the organ
ization of the First Presbyterian church of Hay
field, and on the 19th, the Presbytery of Lake
Superior, which was appointed by the General
Assembly to meet in Ontonagon. During a de
tention of a few days there, he was attacked with
a slight diarrhea, from which, however, nothing
serious was anticipated. But after his return
home his disease assumed a more dangerous form,
and obstinately resisted all efforts to check it, till
about noon on Monday it terminated his life. His
sufferings were severe, but were borne with Chris
tian fortitude. He said to his wife, "that if
God bad a work for him to do he would raise him
up again;" still no fatal result was apprehended
till ten or twelve hours before his death, when his
mind became unsettled.
The little church, so recently organized,
pressed upon his mind, but he seemed to commit
it to God, repeating the precious promise, "I will
not-leave you comfortless." It is a source of
deep regret that at the last he could not converse
rationally—had no farewell for his partner, nor
parting words for his absent friends, but hil end
was peace. The exhausted frame sunk quietly to
rest, and now he sleeps in Jesus. .
His talents were of a high order; his piety
marked, his zeal earnest; his disposition, cheerful,
frank, and winning. During the few weeks that
he was here, be bad gained the esteem and respect
of all who knew him.
The dispensation is mysterious, sudden, and
severe. A lovely wife, so early widowed, mourns
his loss in tearless anguish, far from her friends
and kindred—a father, mother, brothers and sis
ters weep for him, by whose bedside they were
not permitted to watch—whose remains they were
not permitted to follow to the grave; a little
church sorrows for her counselor, her spiritual
shepherd thus suddenly snatched away; the com
munity, of which he promised to be a useful and
efficient member, is deprived of his influence for
good, and his brethren who hailed this accession
to their little band with joy, stand astonished,
trembling—almost discouraged. ' But God rules
in the world and in the Church. He guides and
directs all events in infinite wisdom and goodness.
For his bereaved partner, we plead the rich
promiseanf God, who is the Father and the Judge
of the fatherless and the widow. To his absent
parents and friends, we•say Christ hath done this.
The reason is hidden now, but it will be known
hereafter.
Everything that the most genuine kindness and
the deepest sympathy could suggest, was done
for him by the people amongst whom he died.
His body sleeps quietly on a beautiful bluff over
looking the Bay and the Lake. To his little
church we repeat the words of the Master, " Fear,
not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleas
ure to give you the kingdom." To this communi
ty,- the solemn.warning of Christ is repeated for
the third time within three weeks, from the coffin
and the grave. "Be ye also ready, for in such
an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."
To his brethren, this event says, "the time is
short, work while it is called to-day, the night
will .soon come."
" How blest the righteous when he dies !
When sinks a weary soul to rest,
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breast I
"Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies ;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when he dies !"

"It Is, in my opinion, the best text-book extant On the

style quite charming for such a subject. I am eeriouelyi
inclined to introduce it, next Fall, lute our course es a tett

From a Trustee of the Worcester Female College,
"It meets my views of what a text-book on this subject
ought to be, better than any other treatise I am acquainted
with. I like the book so well that we shall adopt It unhesi
tatingly as our text-book in Mental Philosophy, in the Fe

topics treated upon. I have no doubt that it will be popu
lar and widely used, because it so well meats a want hnig
felt and often expressed"
From the Biblothera, Sacra for November, 7867.
"It has the eminent merit of never pre-supposing in the
pupil a larger knowledge of mental science than he ordb
smelly possesses; and, at the same time, of not underrating
his intelligence, and disgusting him with , explAnations 9f
