Ohio Correspondence.
Ma. EDITORS write again'to. tell - you
that I attended a special meeting of the
Presbytery. of St. Clairsville, at Barnesville,
Belmont. County, on -thef,l7,th ult. This
was an minion of•more than nrdinary in
terest'.
A church of our order was organized
there,.by apommittee of the Presbytery 'a,
few days previously: , Quite a number en
tered this organization. Two. elders were
elected, ordained, and installed; afterwhick
fifteen others were added on examination,
many of these the most influential - perrions
of tl , e community.
An elegant new
.. church edifice bad just
been finished , and Would have 'been dedica
ted, bad it not been 'thought improper, by
some of the members, to offer to the Lord
that whirl really did not belong to them,'
inasroue,h, as a few bpdred dollars remain ,
yet unpaid The house cost three thousand
five hundred . dollars, and will . Seat about
four hundred-persons. This enterprise was
undertaken, and •has been conducted thus
far, with an energy highly creditable to our
friends in Barnesville.
Presbyterianism is a new thing here.
Our Methodist and `Quaker friends have
heretofore had the field, but have shoWn, on
this occasion, the highest Christian kindness.
The former lent us the use of their house to
worship, in, half the time, for the last year,
and both have acquiesced most heartily in
the matterirom its commencenient.
The Preabytery was full, every member
being present excepting one, and he had
been here Sabbath previous, had'
preached; and aided in the administration of
the Lord's supper, and then, circumstances
requiring, he left for home. Even the
licentiates were out, and
- an elder from each
and every vacant church. This attendance
was highly gratifying, when we oonsider the=
time of year, the state of the roads, and the
distance many 'had to come. It had a good
effect on the people, as they felt-that all .the
members of Presbytery respected them, and
sympathized with them in this Old School
effort in their midst:
We heard excellent sermons from Rev.
Mr. Dool, of 'Beach Spring, and Rev. Mr.
Grimes,of Cadiz, • The!former preached on
the " Return of tie `Sews and the latter•
on the "Stability of the , Church." Both
were by, appointment of Presbytery, and
very interesting to all,'asivaia- evident from
the marked attention they,elicited from the
great crowd present to hear them.
The unanimity and dispatch With, which,
this Presbytery transacts its business, Made;
me feel that it is a model in its line; after
which setae wrangling , enelesirtstical'oenrts,
would do well to copy. , . ; b. •'
Presbyte4 gianeronsly voted to 'supply
this church gratis for the next six months,
when it -expects 'to bcfree from , debt, and ,
to call a Pastor. . -
Barnesville is a town : of about one thew'
sand inhAitarAll,.6 l ; the ,Central
road, about twenty - miles West of Bellair, on
the Oltin - River.. • Its site is reinerkably,
elevated; being on the highest 'ridge of land'
between the Ohio' and Muskingum Rivers;
is quite healthy, commanding a fine view of
the well improved country round about.
The Railroad runs under it, and it is truly
a grand sight, to stand in Main Street and"
see the cars weaving the little mountain be
neath you,p like so many shuttles through the
warp of a web ! I know of no town of'
equal size where there is comparatively ntore
wealth, intelligence, influence' and enterprise
than in gds. •
The Thaiverealists were' about erecting a.
church .tiere 'a year ago, but when we, en
tered the field they beat a retreat, saying,
"We win,,cOnqner Arminine, but not Cal
vin."
I have. no Aoubta, Mr. Editor, that in'
few years, the Past Presbyterian church of
Bartlesville, will he one - Of the most import=
ant in the Presbytery; and, therefore to .
any energetic minister wishing a place to ex
ercise his clerical functions, I would most
cordially. coniiiiied this people.
As ever, ..ycluTfriend,

such as ought to smite, for it the active,
persevering exertion otall lovers of God and
'man, throughout: the world:
Resolved,i That, as the friends of intern
pentium are always Relive in their endeavors
to spread the evil, so•the friends of temper
once should never cease to exert themselves
in the good cause.
Resolved, That it is hightime to'return
to the old paths of, total abstinence from all
intoxicating drinks, and to united, systemat
ic, and persevering efforts to save mankind
from this inonater'iipe of intemperance.
ReSoyed, T, het, we deem it exceedingly
important ,that temperance organizations
should again. be formed in every community,
on the plan of the old Washingtonian &Cie
and.meni women amtchildren.gathered.
into them, and trained for active, service in
the temperance ranks; and , that no efforts
Should be spared to induce those who sell
'or drink, at once and totally to abstain.

A writer, iii .the Christian Register. for..
January Ist, speaking of the. above, ;mirk,
says: "Some one ;should 'defend it,' when
Old No . giedom has awakened to denounce it."
.He takes ~:up the cudgels' • in
defence of Mr. SaWyer, and 'against, King
James, thus, after quoting Hallam's' re.
marks 'on our English - Bible : " Thus, Mr.
Hallam: and now, for one, I deliberately
assert, that of all, tranalations -of either the
Jewish or Christian : Scriptures, our English

latibn in common' - rise: - .But lt is. 'keeping
with the spirit , of: his -whole aitiele i and in
character • with the .14eyister, •which is the.
leading organ of Unitarians.
After speaking of:the "fine literal .trans
lations of Homer, Herodotus, &c., by Ox
ford Scholars," he says : " We.know, we
feel, that we arc really readin g very
words once sung or written in those olden
times. It'is not so when we read our Chris
tian Scriptures. We perceive that , we are
- thelanguageof-the most "barbarous~
epoch of literature," A te. Again, he
says : ht is not to be wondered at, that the
English reader has had, hitherto, no proper
biography of gig Saviour
. ; ? .that St, John (ao
imperfect is the.translation,) is made to talk
twaddle
,and nonsense,, and St. Panl,' in .his
Epistles, often to talk so: unphilosophically,
nay,;so incoherently even, ais to, incline one
'to accuse him, in earnest, of what 'Felix did

Mr& Green. .

Dian—At his residence, in Fairview Township,
?ttercer County, Pa., November sth, Mr. J. W.
SMITH, aged 58 years and 10 months.
Mr. Smith was born in Westmoreland County,
Pa. When lie was two years old, his parents
removed with him to Mercer County, Pa. When
but twelve years of age, be united with the old
Cool Spring Presbyterian Church, then under the
charge of the. Rev. - Samnel Tait; and in the year
1829,- when the Cool Spring church was re-•
organized, he was elected and ordained a Ruling
Elder. -The duties of this office he discharged
until laid aside,- by a nervous complaint, about
the year 1849. From that time he was unable to
attend, upon the preaching of the Word, being,
confined to his room, and most of the time unable
to help himself. At times he suffered extremely ;
yet during all his afflictions, he was cheerful, and
resigned,to the will, of God. As long, as he was
able to go to the sanctuary, he led. the Bible
Class. Those that enjoyed his instructions and
*anuses, speak of him with feelings of emotion.
He was " a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost,"
as was evident fioni the fruits of the Spirit,
which are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gen
tleness, meekness, faith, temperance, • manifesting
themselves in, an eminent degree in his life. He
lived .long .enough to see all his children then
living, seven in number, members of the Presby-,
terian Church, and one, the Rev. J. I. Smith, of
Ontonagon,. Mich., actively
, and successfully
preaching.the Gospel. He frequently remarked
to the writer that he had prayed that God would
,preserve him in the right- use of his reason as,
long as he would see fit to continue him in this
world; .and God heard and answerad hie prayer.
When told a short time before his death, that, in
•
all human probability, he was near .his journey's
end, although unable to speak so as to be under
stood, a smile lit up his countenance, that told of
the joy and peace of his soul. "Mark the per
feet:man and behold the upright, for the end of
that Man is peace." ' ,T.W.M.
. Doro—At his residence, in Lake Township,'
Mercer County, Pa., November 7th, Mr. Jaws
14POLusx, aged about 30 years.
w °lure was the last, All, but one, of a
family of nine children, seven of *horn died since
Jime 1853 and the last three of them died With
in one month. The disease' that put an end to
his earthly existence was typhoid fever, termi
nating in pneumonia. At the time of his death,
he was a member of the Presbyterian church of
Cool Spring: He' has. left a wife and numerous
friendi to mourn; yet not as those without hope.
"Blessed are they that do his Commandments,
that they may have a right to the tree of life, and
may enter through the gates into the city."
pIED—On the morning of November 27th, 1858,
Mrs. leAnan Ventran, wife of .Melehias Varner,
in the 28th year of her age.
'Her disease'was consumption ; ' her sufferings
long "protracted; her resignation to God's will
cheerful and humble ; her hopes sweet, but not
enrapturing; her peace calm and undisturbed`;
her reliance solely on the merits - Of her Redeemer.
She left a fond husband. and little child, (which
soon followed her to the grave,) and many other
friends to mourn her loss. She has left us, but,
we hope, to join dear friends in heaven, gone
before her ; and above all, to see and dwell
,with
that Saviour which she loved here, and longed to
enjoy more. Young though she was in years,
young in Christian experience, young in, the
married life, yet not too young to be the marktid
victim to feel the piercings of death's arrows—not
too young to know that she was born to. die, and
that this was not her abiding place. Sister, thou
wert lovely, and often did we hear thy voice swell
the anthem of praise which arose in God's sane;
tuary ; but, thou art gone, we hope, to sing In
higher , and.sweeter sounds, that unceasing song
of rede,eming love that breathes from the hearts
cif +millions around the throne . in heaven, unto
him that died for us, and rose. again. 44 Blessed
are the dead which die in the:Lord." G.M.
Drsic.- 1 -At,'"Morgantown, Va .on , Friday Morn.
January 14th, of :typhoid-.fever, Miss lismot
A. WnsoN, daughter of Mrs. E. H. Wilson, of Fair
mount, Va.,aged 17 years and 8 months.
The lesson taught us by the unexpected death
of this interesting young lady, is, "lie ye. also
ready, for in such an hour as r think pot, the
Son of Man cometh." The deceased had been a
member of the Presbyterian Church for more than.
two ,years, stud at the time of her, death she, was,
attending the Woodburn Female Seminary. Two
weeks ago, her, prospects for ri long and happy
'life were as flattering as those of any of her
schoolmates. Full of life, and always glad and
joyous, she was a universal favorite: Distirt
guished for her industry and intelligence, as well,
as for her consistent Christian deportment, she
gave a gratifying promise of a useful future. But
God has called, her home From the midst of
sincere friends, attached relatives, and many ad
mirers, in, the very prime attd vigor of her youth,
death has claimed her. She, who, three weeks
ago, was full of life, and hope, and happiness, is
now sleeping with her.fathers in the grave. Her
death is a solemn and significant 'warning to her
compatiions, to attend, while in health, to " the
one thing needful," lest death should overtake
them unawares, and leave them no
,opportunity
for repentance. In her case, we mourn not as
thoie without hope, and we commit * her body to
the' duet in the strong confidence that she will
have a part in the first resurrection.

Miller, Esq., in Cool Spring Tp, Mercer Co„ Pa.,

when she again took her 'lace in tbe Cool Spring
church, of which she was an exemplary member
at her death., She possessed the confidence of
all who knew her. In all the relations of life,
she acted the part of a Christian. It was her
custom to call has grandchildren around ler, on
Sabbath evening, for the purpose of caterlizing
'them. And when the head of the family was ab
sent, she went forward in family prayer. Her
piety was of tikat unobtrusive kind Wideh is not
officious, yet manifests itself at' all times and
under "all circumstances. She Was distinguished
:for 'bar — kindness and hospitality. She was
bliniancPwith remarkable' health' and Tiger; fdione
of her age,' ,until within a- few months of her
detitht - when 'her strength ' gradially deolinedi'
but death was not thought near at hand until the
day before she died. She seemed to retain her
mental vigor until within a few hours of her
death. Her dissolution was accompanied with
no pain or mental anxiety. Her spirit took its
flight without a struggle. She seemed as if fall
ing into a sweet sleep. Truly, precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
. W. M
WE beg leave to call the atten
' tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. llPLane's Celelrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but sini, ly for
what their name purports, :
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most , satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
211 BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE, t
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their, unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane'ss Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will Continue to spare neither. time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and. Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders.to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physirisuq ordering from Ohara
than Fleming. Bros., will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take none but Dr. JPLands, prepared by
Yierning Bros. Pittsburgh, Pa. To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
part of the United States; one box of Pills for twelve

DRS. FITCH SYKES would state . that their treatment
of Coicstunption Is based upon the fact that the disease exists
In the blood and system at lane, both before and during its
development in theflungs, and they, therefore employ , Me
chanical, Hygienic and Mediansl remedies to purify the
blood and strengthen the sYstem. With these they use
Medicinal Inhalations, which they value highly, but only as
palliatives, (having no curative effeetwhen used alone,) and
Invalids are earnestly cautioned against wasting thepremou a
time of curability on any treatment based upon the plausi
ble, but false idea.. that the "seat of the disease can be
reached in a direct mariner by rebslation " for as before
stated, the seat of the disease is in the blood and its effects
only in the lungs.
