The Convention of Ministers and Elders, of the
~ . .nods of Pittsburgh. Ohio, Wheeling, end
in the City of Pittsburgh. in December
enjoyed truly a reviving time. The Lord
JS there; end he poured out his Spirit upon his
servants. And this blessing upon them
for the benefit of multitudes. The Spirit
with them, and they went everywhere,
I ,r, aching the word, and God's great power wits
present in love and mercy. A few ministers who
we re in attendance from other Synods, shared in
rho heavenly gift aryl extended the influence.
pastors and Elders who could not unite with their
brethren in person, joined them in their hearts'
desires. They and their people held meetings at
hone for prayer, and the Lord hearkened and
henrd. The Convention was a manifestation of
the beginning of great grace.
" The revivals in the churches in our Presbytery
have not been so powerful as we had, in some in..
stances, previously witnessed; nor have the con
versions, as yet, been so numerous. But there
has been a more general advancement of Christian
life, than it bad formerly been our privilege to
notice. Slumbering church members have been
extensively awaked. The attention of the young
has been gained. Careless ones have become
anxious listeners. New altars have been erected
in families, and old ones, long broken down,
have been repaired. Many of the children of the
Church, and not a few of those persons who were
born without the covenant, have been converted.
And, hundreds of souls still are inquiring the way
of life.
The Day of Prayer for Academies and Colleges,
was very generally observed by onr congregations,
and, we trust, many petitions ascended in faith.
This Presbytery has great reason' to pray for
God's blessing on institutions of learning, and.
abundant cause to bless God for hearing prayer.
There are but few parts, if there is any part, of•
our land, where there are more Academies and
Female Seminaries; or where a larger portion of
the youth of the Church seek the higher grades
of education; or where God calls more of the
young into the ministry. Jefferson College has
been especially favored as a handmaid of the
Lord. At the close of the late Session, there
were two hundred and forty students connected
with the College, of Whom one hundred and ten
were communicants in the Church ; about thirty
others were rejoicing in hope, as the fruits of a
revival then in progress ; and twenty to thirty
ethers still were serious inquirers.
4 6 Of the churches revived, we may mention the
first, Second, Fourth, Sixth, and Central, of
Pittsburgh, and those of Lawrenceville, East Lib
erty, Monongahela City, Sharon, and Canons
burg. Still greatly increased fruits+ are hoped for,
from the seed sown, especially in the godly living
of Christians, and, as a result thereof, in exten
sive and beneficial changes in the moral and re
ligious character of the community. And this is
expected the more confidently, from the fact that
all the Evangelical Churches within our bounds,
have, to some extent, participated in the reviving
influence."
The Presbytery, after a very interesting Bas
tion, adjourned to meet on the '24 'Tuesday o'
June, in the Second Presbyterian church, Pitts
burgh, at 2 o'clock P. M.

A New State Projected.
The Legislature of Michigan has agreed to set
off that part of the State lying West of Lake
Michigan ; and the Legislature of Wisconsin has
under consideration a bill to set off the Northern
part of that State; the two portions of States to
be united and form a new State ; under the name
of ONTONAGON.
The Southern line of Ontonagon would be
about the 45th parallel of Latitude, and the
Northern boundary would be Lake Superior.
The area is about 40,000 miles, nearly the same
as that .of Pennsylvania. It embraoes the Cop
per mines, and fias otherwise many sources of
wealth. The present population is about 70,000.
To form a new State out of a part or parts of one
or more existing States, requires the consent of
the Legislatures and of Congress. If the Legisla
tures agree, it is not likely that Congress will
withhold its consent.
Washington,
The Decease of ion. Thomas H. Renton, which
occurred on Saturday, the 10th inst., is an event
demanding a record. Col. Benton filled a large
place, in the eyes of his countrymen. He ranked
high in the Councils of the nation. He possessed
much talent, a good degree of consistency, more
of integrity than is common to politicians, a
strong wilt, and indomitable perseverance. As a
debater he stood high, and as a historical writer'
he was eminent. Oa 'his Abridgment of the De
bates in Congress, he wrought till within a few
days of his death. The work was nearly com
pleted to the, year 1860. His literary produe.
dons will perpetuate his fame.
His death was announced in Congress, on
Monday, and both Houses adjourned. The fu
neral services over the remains of Mr. Benton,
were attended by the President and his Cabinet,
the foreign ministers, and members of both
Houses. The remains were placed upon the cars
for transmission to St. Louis.
The fate of the Lecompton Constitution long
hangs in the balance. The Senate struck out the
Crittenden amendment, which had been adopted
by the Rouse, and reinserted its own bill, and in
this form returned it. The House immediately
passed a vote adhirinito its own bill, and sent it
back to the Senate, by a vote of 119 to 111, the
same majority by which it had before passed.
The Senate refused to concur, and appointed
Messrs. Green, Hunter, and Seward, a Committee
of Conference. The acceptance of, this, in the
House, is still doubtful.
The Deficiency Bill was defeated in the House,
last week, bat, on reconsideration, it was again
taken up and was passed. Many members
thought the debts bad been incurred by extrava
gance, but the necessities for money were so
great, that they relented and sanctioned the ap
propriation. Its passage was indispensible to
the carrying out of the Utah expedition.

Neat Church Edifices and Good Schools.
mi. EDITOR:—The traveler over any part of
Allegheny County cannot fail to observe its rich •
nese ; but passing over the South part of it he is
refreshed, almost regaled, with the well-improved
and highly cultivated farms through which he
passes. Here neatness, good taste, and thrift are
blended. This part of the county may be no
more fertile than other parts; but the style of
farming, the buildings and improvements, indicate
a high degree of prosperity—a prevalertt influence
of intelligence and industry.
The presence of school houses, academy build
ings, and churches, add greatly to the general•
appearance of the country. These will always
keep pace with prosperity, order and industry,
or rather will go before these, and give to them
life and direction.
It is to be feared, we fail to appreciate how
much a good school house or a pleasant and spa.
clone church, contributes to the cause of educa
tion or the prosperity of religion. Hero good
taste, comfort, and some degree of ornament, are
absolutely required. Neither education, nor re
ligion can be well promoted if the building or the
location does violence to the natural taste, the
sense of order, and the fine feelings of the mind.
Even the youngest child is affected, (perhaps
insensibly,) with the want of suitableness, com
fort, convenience and interest, in the locality, or
structure, or furniture of the building. No won
der children loathe the damp, dark, dismal,' dirty
places, and either refuse to go, or spend as much
time as possible in going, in order to shorten the
time there; and it is not surprising that the edu
cation of such places is essentially dwarfed.
And is not the same true in religion, also? Can
it flourish in a rickety, unsightly, comfortless
church? Let observation decide. Who does not
see that religion is stationary and dull, or declin
ing in such a place ? The forms of worship may
be good, the doctrines sound; but the life, vigor,
interest, and prosperity cease. Nor is there any
mystery in this. Lively piety so much fosters
good taste, a due sense of order, self-respect, and
thelove of the beautiful; that it will force upon
the congregation, that has ability, the work of con
structing a suitable house and such ornaments as
are meet to accompany it. If the religion of a peo
ple has.any life or power at all, it will prompt to
this of itself. Israel could never bear to worship
in a mean or neglected sanctuary, unless when
they were in distress from enemies, or in spiritual
decline. As soon •as religion revived, they re
paired and beautified the house of the Lord.
David, as soon as he 1, had rest from his enemies
around," said, See, now, I dwell in a house of
cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within cur
tains; and be set himself to build a temple for
the worship of God.-2. Sam]. vii: 3. Alas!
how many are content to dwell in houses of cedar,
when the ark of God dwells within the hateful
curtains of cobwebs, dust and negligence. But
what is most to be regretted, is that piety, in such
eases, is also within the curtains of unbelief,
lukewarmuess, worldliness, and prayerlestraess.
These, as "a dark film, hang all around. It is
everywhere manifest, that the•religion of a people
worshipping in an old, neglected,. comfortless,
filthy house,
when they can afford better, is dull,
doleful and depressing.
But there are here and there elegant and taste
ful churches to be seen. They inspire hope and."
pleasant feeling'to the traveler. The church of
Bethel, of which Rev. George Marshall, D.D., is
pastor, is an instance of this kind. It is a model
church for the country. The size, the arrange
ment, the frescoing, the comfort, and, indeed,
everything about it, is good. And there is no
doubt, but the piety, enjoyment, and prosperity
of the congregation are such as amply repays the
outlay on the house. I have not beard the Doctor
preach in this new house, but it would not seem
so difficult to get up good sermons, when there is
around so much ef taste , and elegance. Any thing
languid and insipid would be incongruous, and
therefore avoided. While those preaching in an
awkward, shapeless, neglected house are liable to
feel that anything like ornateness and finish,
would be incongruous, and out of place, and not
appreciated by a people contented to worship in
such a house.
In the immediate vicinity of this church, is the
new and convenient building of the "Bethel Male
and Female Academy." ►phis Academy has been
in existence nearly a quarter of a century, and is
still well conducted and well sustained. They
have upon the catalogue, just issued for this year,
the names of forty-seven students. This number
indicates an excellent appreciation of education
in the neighborhood, The present main teacher,
Dr. Stilley,is a Christian gentleman, a fine schol
ar, an expert and successful teacher, a proficient,
almost an . enthusiast, ,in mathematics; such an
instructor'of youth cannot fail to be useful..
Dr. Marshall is the principal of the Academy,
and gives instruction to some of the classes daily.
He is a finished classical scholar, and from long
and faithful employment has acquired a
,knowl
edge of the minutia) and details of teaching which
few possess. There is not, perhaps, in the county
a more competent and faithful instructor in the
pulpit or in the school room.
Parents, if wise, will seek such places for their
children in commencing a course of education.
A year in an Academy like this, is worth two in
a - University or College to a beginner. We hope
this Academy will continue to prosper. It has
already sent out many pious and useful men, but
is ,more than ever prepared for usefulness and
honor. The moral influence and religions watch
fulness of such a place are among the things that
so highly recommend it. V.

Preliminary Consumption.
Letter N 0.7.
In ,closing our description of Pulmonary:' Con.
sumAion, we reverted to the important fact that
consumption always exists in the blood and sys
tem at large, before it is developed in the lungs.
We will now consider further this early 'stage of
the disease, and will term it Prelitninary Om
/gumption, or that period in which the sysiem is pre.
pared for the formation and deposit of tubercle. It
is during this important period that treatment
should be resorted to ; but, unfortunately, both
physicians and patients are generally ignorant of
this early stage of the disease, - and hence it goes
on undetected and wholly neglected, until the tu
berculous stage sets in, when a cure, if possible,
is extremely difficult and doubtful. In Prelimi
nary Consumption the blood is, deprived of its red
or iron globules, and becomes charged with the
elements of tubercles, but the tubercles are not
yet deposited In the lunge, and hence the disease
cannot, as yet, be detectid by Stethoscopic ex
amination of the chest. A practiced observer,
however, may usually detect the disease at this
stage by its..aymptonts, though they vary greatly
in different cases, and are often similar to symp
toms arising from other causes..
We have space only for a few of the most fre
quent and prominent ones. First, there is a slow,
gradual diminution of bodily vigor, which the
patient is unable :to. aooount for, but which ren
ders him unable to endure exertions which form
erly were not difficult; then the complexion be
comes Sallow and pallid; the features sharpen,
and their expression is careworn, and yet aril.-
mated ; appetite is capricious: pulse tardy and
small ; sleep unrefreshing ; and a gradual loss of
weight ensues. But the most •frequent symptom
is the disposition on the part of the patient to ridi
cule or resent any allusion to the idea that he is in
danger of consumption. Dr. Cotton, of
,Bromp
ton
. 4 ,M - spite], London, says' of this symptom:
" Bo general is' Vas 'almost instinctive blindn?ss
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
to the cause of distress, that if absent, other
symptoms, however suspicious, may be regarded
as unconnected with Consumption."
This diseased condition of the blood, which we
have termed Preliminary Consumption, is the
source of Pulmonary Consumption, and continues
during the entire progress of the latter. It will,
therefore, be readily seen that the seat and source
of Consumption cannot be reached by means of
Medical Inhalation.

Those Who have Used It
Among the many testimonials in favor of the
effects of Bcerhave's Holland Bitters, we offer
the names of the following, many of them well
known in this city:
James Colvin, of South Pittsburgh, says: "It
is certainly a valuable medicine ; it cured me of
Dyspepsia."
Captain Henry Eaton says : "It cured my wife
of Neuralgia."
J. A. Von Bonnhorst says : "I, never met with
so speedy a remedy for acidity of the stomach."
Henrich Paulus says : "It cured me of a se
vere chronic diarrhea in two days."
Samuel Woodruff, of Athens, Ohio, says :
"When I commenced using your medicine, I was
so prostrated that I could not walk across my
farm; after using one bottle I can eat any thing."
HEADACHE.

I take great pleasure in saying to you that I

are universally admitted, by the American press,
to be far superior to all others for causing the

with the advantages of youth. There can. be no

that it is one of the greatest discoveries in the

Her favored . soul Hi bore;
And witlryon'bright, angelic forms,
She lives t4i'die no more."
DIEDIR 'Abington, 111., March 24th, 1858,
Mrs. CLAMANT& BRADLIT, in the 67th year of his
age.
This mother in Israel is the first death among
the members of the little church of Elmwood,
Ill._ Thus, before two years, one of the fifteen
with whom this church was organized is called,
as we trust, to ;tha , ,,Church :triumphant. She
lived a Christkeyalite, , ,and died , in, th e full as
suranceef hope' Of a blessed. immorlafity. She
was born in Sunderland, Vermont, in the year
1792 ; with her hashititif in 1818 inoied to Leroy,
New York, Where elle it INvido'w in 1841.
Coming to the vicinity of Elmwood, 111., in 1851,
to spend the, remainder of her days with her mar
ried children, she was instrumental in organizing
two Presbyterian churches. Leaving Elmwood
last September, to remain for a few months with
her youngest daughter in . Abington, aftei two
weeks of math suffering, she was called home.'
Forsthree yeiiii.before she died, she was Confined'
to her room from a pa:ralric stroke. All who
visited her can testifyto her meek, child-like dis
position, and with what plea sure she would con
verse on religious topics, particularly experimen
tal piety, "Though dead, she yet speaks."
" Such speaking dust has more of life, than half
its breathing moulds." WV.
Dm—March 26th, at his residence in. Jack
sonyille, Indiana County, Pa.; of typhoid fever,
Mr. WILLIAM It. HITIMIX, in the 37th year of hie
age. . ,
The deceased had been a worthy and consistent
member of the Presbyterian • Church for,,the last
sixteen years of his life. He first united with,
the Presbyterian. church' of Ebenezer,. and con
tinued a member of that church until last June,
whet} a Presbyterian congregation was organized
In Jacksonville, the place of his residence. He
thin bad his connexion transferred to the latter
place, aid was unanimously Chosen to fill the
office of Roiling Elder in this newly organized
church, consisting at the time of twenty-seven
members. tie was not only among the first
whose names were enrolled as members of this
church, the first ordained to the office of Ruling
Elder,' tint is also the first to enter' upon his re
ward. Mr. Hunter was an 'slain and
sUppMier of the Goipel. He (o*°!:iiepp interest
in Zion'A welfare ; and never was this interest
more strikingly manifested, than it was for Borne
months prior to his death. And on his death-bed
he expressed a desire to he spared, if it shonld
be the Lord's will, to see a revival of religion in
our midst. But it pleased the Lord to say to him,
" Friend, come up higher."
Mr. Hunter's interest in the subject of religion
during his life, his punctual attendance on the
means of grace, including the public worship of
God's sanctuary, the social prayer-meeting, and
the family altar, as well as his consistent walk
and conversation in private and social life,
evinced to all who knew him the sincerity of his
profession as a Christian. Aud during his last
illness he appeared to have attained the full as.
ranee of faith; his expressions being betimes
those of joy and triumph. Re leaves a wife and
four children, who shall deeply feel their lose Of
a kind husband and father, as well as the church
of which he was a Ruling Elder, struggling in its
irifancy. Bat assured that what may be our loss
is his infinite gain, we bow submissively to, the
will of our Yeavenly Father, ‘ 4 who doeth all
things well." " ' Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might; for there is no work,
nor device, nor knowledge; noi - ,wiedom in the

MALE SEMINARY, CANONSBURG, PA.
Ma. Emoit:—lt is not improbable that the iinnosirig ex
ercises at the Olose of our College Sessions, awakens such a
high degree of interest as to exclude,in some measure, from
our minds the interest We ought toted in those institutions
less pretending, but not less important, which have been
established for the education of our daughters.
Yon will Penult a stianger, througlnyour journal, to ex
press the gratification he experienced in witnessing the et
aminations at :ikine Female Seminary, Canonsburg, Pe.,ola
the 30th and 81st This School has been some fourteen
years in existence', and has won the eonfidence of the coin.
=unity in which it is located,. and also of the surrounding
country. It has established for itself a high reputation for,
thorough training in ail the branches taught in our best.
Female Seminaries. 'lt has been miprivilege to be present
at the examinations in many : Of the best conducted schools
In the East; and I feel it to be due 'to Mrs:French, and to
the aceemnlished teachere ;she hie empleyed, to say, that .I
know of no school superior to Olome, for thorough instruc
tion ' all' those :branches: conaidereti,:necessary to a, corn
, plate female education. - The examinations were continued
two days, and were interspersed with original essays, read
by the young ladies themselves.. The assays exhibited a
high degree of mental Miltnre, and *ere 'characterized by
elegance of diction. t The 'young ladies were examined on
all the branches contained in the catalogue of studies for
the session then closing. And item the manner in which
they acquitted themselSee. It is evident that education in
Mrs Trench's schooris soteething more than a memorising
Of thelanguage of textbooks;it is Such antudy ofthe sub
jt= is. calculatid to develop and strengthen the mental
Whilst every attention is paid to literary training, moral
and religious' instruction is by no means neglected. The
Bible holds a prominent piece in this school as a text-book;
and the salutary intinence of the teligidnit instructions
given were visible in the deportment of the young ladies .
throughout the session, as well as in the season of refresh- .
ing from the presence of the Lord enjoyed by this school,
in common with the College located at this place:
The department of vocal and instrumental music, is un
der the care of Professor J. M. Fischer. In thts department.
examinations were had in Thorough Bose, which showed
that the class had been thoroughly instrueted, and 'that in
this difficult department of the edema) of music, the Pm
lessor is a Master. ,
On the evening of the 30th, by special request, arrange
moots had been made.to give a concert in vocal and instru
mental music. in the hall of the institution. At an early
hods the hall was crowded to rte utmost *malty. The
pieces selected,fot the occasion were
,mostly from eminent
Inropean compoleirs,and were classical and mostly
Some
of the pieces. however, were composed by Sfr.'Fiecher him
self, 'and when executed .by.hlmaelf, or the young ladles
under his Instruction '
the conviction is produced that be is
destined to rank with the beet composers in our country,
as he now does with the beat performers. The concert was
a brilliant affair, and far surpassed anything in vocal and
instrumental music, which we are, accustomed to , hear at
the close of our beat schools.
The presence of an Increased number of visitors during
the examinations, is Indicative of the interest awakened In
the canoe of female education In this region, and of the
e interest felt in the prosperity of this scbooL
i r ii
Mrs. French spares no expense which is requisite to make
bor school 'one of the first class in our country; and the In
creasing prosperity which attends her efforts to furnish, at
a moderate rate, a complete education for females, shows
that h'er endeavors are duliappreciated.
Professor Fischer will .still retain his position in this
school, as teacher of vocal and instrumental music. Ac.
comPliehed teachers have been secured for. every depart.
went. We would call the attention of those who have
daughters to educate, to Mrs.' French's School: The next
session commenoee on the First Monday in May.

From Rev. D. X. JUNKIN, D. D., HoLidayeburg, Pa.
• -L. CA.7011, Esp.., Turtle Creek, Pa.:—Dear .Sir:—Ton ask
me to express my. opinion of your School. If I could not
conscientiously express a favorable one,
I would frankly
tell you so, and decline saying anything about it; for 1 am
chary of compliments, and cannot violate truth In order to
extend them.. The man who commends an inferior school,
'at which the time of the pupils would be wasted, or spent
tis little profit, commits a social wrong; whilst he who calls
dererred attention to a meritorious school, confers a social
benest. • ,
I am, therefore free to say, that with the locality, ap.
pointments and arrangements of your Academy, I was well
autistied. Your location is beautittu, healthful, and (Knave.
nient, your buildings spacious, comfortable, and well
adapted; your neighborhood intelligent, moral, and exempt
from temptations for youth. I deemed your assistants ca
pable, faithful, and diligent; the recitations I witnessed
were highly credithble. And what impressed me as peen
liaily desirable, in a school for young gentlemen, was the
delightful family matairation, at once cheerful andorder/y,
which seemed to prevail. Any one could Fee that the pu
pils felt that thiry were in a pleasant, Christian solo, where
'both their education and their personal comfort were cared
for, with parental kindness and wisdom. Mrs. Caton has,
my. opinion, rare nualifications for the responsible posi
tion she occupies. ' •
As my visits were wholly unexpected, I must have seen

I Dear Sir:—Having had my eon at your Academy for some
months peat, I have been much gratified with the progress
he has made in - his studies, moral and intellectual culture,
and in MS general deportment.
I consider yoar School, in point of locality, manatement
And instruction, as admirably adapted to the improvement
of our youth, physically, morally, and intellectually.
Very respectfully yours,

From Eon. J. W. GEARY. Ex• Governor of Kansas:
• Mt. L. Cairow:—Dear is nearly two years gi no e
my two on have been under your tuition at "Cottage Hill
Academy,'" and it now affords me much pleasure to offer
you this testimonial of my unqualified approbation for the
faithful manner in which yon have discharged the important
duties deyolving upon you—the moral and intellectual de.
volopment of youthful' minds.
The constant progress and visible Improvement of my
children, and all under your oharge, is truly gratifying-.
Indeed, it seems a necessary consequence of your explana
tory and demonstrative method of instruction.
The attention you and your very excellent Lad y con
stantly give to the health, exercise, cleanliness ' and general
behaviour of the . students under your care, is deserving of
the highest commendation.
Your' two assistants are gentlemen of excellent attain
ments, and in their vocation, the enoominai is nottoo much,
when I say, they are "apt to teach."
I will continue my children with you, and influence my
friends to send you as many students as possible, as I be
lieve your Academy is the beet Preparatory School in the
country.
With high respect, your friend and obedient aerv't,
