Thnie has been, for*emetinse, a ilesire:4as
the part of a' few of our South-Weatirn
brethren, to have an Executive Committee
of the oar of Domestic Missions, at New

The Itedstorget Pastoral Letter presents
some' very frePoitint thoughts to - parents;
on the subject of the education-of their

sought, above all other things which are
Within the parent's power. To this, a good
'home, a good minister, and a good school
are needed. It is of the latter that 'the.
Presbytery speak; Peculiarly careful should
the parent be in the selection of a bearding
School, Whether it be Academy or
,College.

the sweet influences of 'terse, is corrupted
and lost. But a removal is, , irg most oases,

The report has gone abroad that the Presiden

the,resignatioa. of PlesidentyWalker. This has
broUght forwardil through the efforts, of friends,
a, large number of aspirants for the offine. ,:The.
claims of.the. Hon. S. A. Elliot, of Boston; the
Rev. Dr Benoit's, of New York,', (the advocate of
Theatres;) and Professor 0: C.' Felton, of Cam

admirers. :Anew publication has been started at
this Institution, styled the, Naihenernical Monthly,
devoted intirelyto the encouragement•and culti

Such a work is evidently demandecVthat the re
sults of investigations in this science . ; may be ac
eurately disseininated throUghout the country,
among all its institutions of learning. Valuable
.
prizes are offered in its pages for the solution of
differeit:problems. Bach 'nUmber will contain
twenty:fair pages. •
The.Paritan Itenieta scheme has not been aban-.
(toned, but a meeting of its friends was lately held,
at which it was determined to issue the Ent num

show that it was so, in respect to the distinctness

clined to grant the petition presented by many of
the citizens, asking for permission to !Ise the

preaching purposes. • •
No diminution of Religious Interest is yet upper
ent. The daily prayer-meetings are still well
attended, and the Evangelical' Churobes are
thronged. - •
Among the Strange Occurrences, is the announce
neat that the notorious Theodore Parker is to be
one of the orators at the next Commencement of
the Bowdoin College. How such , a man can be
tolerated in setting forth his peculiar views, and,
la his own way, at such en Institution, especially
after the, treatment he has, given the work of
4° revival," is a mystery that we do not attempt
to explain. Most probably he has been Invited
by the " progressive" young men in one of the
Literary Societies, and it is not at all improbable
that the College authorities may interfere, as did
• the Professor at Cambridge; some time ago.
Blessed Work is in progress in the churches
of Portland, Me. The morning meetings in two
of the churches are crowded, and larg,e accessions
/lave been Made to all the churches.
The Unitariort church in Hartford, Conn., has
bug been unoccupied, and has just been rented
by Ev,angelical Christians, to be used as a place
of daily prayer-meetings, throughout the year.
