wis based. And a. bill is now before the
legislature requiring the Exeoutiveto report
to the legislature the number of pardons
granted every year, and also to lay before
them the evidences on which the pardons
have been sought and obtained. Oral ap
plication, simply, is not to be sufficient; the
reasons must be given in writing, properly
certified. If this bill should become
, a law,
future governors may find it more difficult
to set aside the law and the testimony
against villains, than it has been for some
time past.
Henry Ward Beecher his been announced
as a regular contributor to the Independent,
for the present year. But, judging from
the commencement made, hie papers will ,
contain much in the way of defending him
self and the Plymouth church, of which he
is pastor. Formerly, he paid but little
attention to newspaper attacks, or .to an
imadversions upon, bis Conduct and doctrine ;
but latterly he:has changed his course, and
has put himself on the defensive. What
may be the particular cause of this, we are
unable to tell. It may be that ;be has be
come a little glare under the many raspings,
to which he has been subjected; or it may
be that he has determined to turn round,
and in his own wai entirely demolish the
whole tribe of assailants. Some time ago,
he delivered a lecture before a literary
Society connected with the congregation of
Theodore Parker, for which he was taken
to task by the Examiner, and other leading .
journals. To these he replied in .a letter
much more objectionable than was the act
complained of. Next, his congregation let
out its pews for the year at an aggregate of
some $26,000, and by the high rates at
which they were rented, some four hundred
members of the church were unable to ob
tain sittings. This was made the subject of
comment by the papers generally. Mr.
Beecher hastened to make a characteristic
reply. After this, the Observer set itself
to work to " show np " the heterodoxy con
tained in the letter on the, subject of -the
lecture for the benefit of the Society con
nected with Parker's church. This week,
the redoubtable Mr. Beecher is out after the
Observer. And next week we expect to
see him " pitching into" a communication
in th'e Presbyterian of this week, Beaded
" Infidelity in Brooklyn." At this rate, he
will be able to fill his engagement to the
Independent and fight his own battles at the
same time.
The Methodist Book Concern has beaome
a moat prolific publisher, sending forth , an
nually, 3,344,812 pages. Its daily issues
amount to 11,147 ; its hourly, 1,114; and
18 every minute.
The success of Professor Mitchell's Lec
tures has been astonishing. To behold some
four thousand people assembled one hour be
fore the time for the commencement of a
lecture on Astronomy, is a spectacle not
often witnessed. So much enthusiasm has
been awakened, that the erection of the
contemplated Observatory is not doubted.
It, is supposed that the most favorable site
will be in the New Park, because of less lia
bility to any undue oscillation from oars,
machinery, drays, carriages, dm
The anxiety to have Mr. Spurgeon visit
this city, is becoming greater every week,
and it is reported that a Baptist minister has
sailed for Eorope, for.the purpose of induc
ing him to be present at the Anniversaries
in May. But the moat reliable information
on the matter, is that given by our London
Correspondent, last week, who says that Mr.
Spurgeon told him, a few days before, that
he would sail for this country on the first
day of April next.
Some of the churches of this city have
the Young Men connected with each church
united in a Christian Association ; such is
the case in the Reformed Presbyterian
church, of which Dr. McLeod is pastor, and
in Dr. Alexander's church. The effects of
such organizations have been found very
beneficial, and they aro free from some of
the difficulties connected with Associations
more general in their character.
PHILADELPHIA.
The house so long known as Jones' Hotel,
had been vacant for some time, but is now
leased by Messrs. Mclntosh & Matthews, of
Baltimore ; the former was long and favor
ably known as the proprietor of the Howard
House in that city. The Butler House, now
in process of erection, on Chestnut Street
opposite the Girard, has been already rented
to a gentleman of Boston, for $40,000 per
annum, though it will not be finished until
February, 1860. It is expected that the
stores on the first floor will bring $25,000 a
year, so that the whole income yearly to the
owners will be $65,000, for an expenditure
of $700,000, which the building will cost.
It will be seen from this that a great increase
in the number of visitors for pleasure and
business is anticipated within a few years,
for the hotel accommodations are already
very extensive.
The Developments with regard to the
peculations , from the public in the .A.lme
House ) excite great surprise. No less than
six hundred and ninety more barrels of flour
were charged in six months than were
actually used; and this is only one item.
The Oration of Mr. Everett, on Franklin,
was a finished production, although by no
means equal to that on Washington; the
subject, however worthy, would not admit of
this. Mr. Everett frankly admitted that
papers had been discovered in Europe, that
would do much in aiding to elucidate the
history of the Franklin family, from which
he had not yet been able to obtain any con
siderable benefit. He, however, stated that
both the Washington and Franklin families
were originally from Northamptonshire,
England, and were not separated by a die.
tance greater than thirty miles. The former
ranked with the aristocracy of the land, and
the latter with the humbler yeomanry.
The PlAy-Seco n d Trade Sale of books in
Philadelphia, will be held on the 21st of
March. Large invoices have been promised
from Boston and New York publishers.
The project for running the Passenger
Cars on the Sabbath, has been defeated in
the Select Council by a majority of two
votes. Bat it is feared that the contest is
not yet over. The movers in seeking a re
peal of the present law, are active, and will
seize upon the first favorable opportunity foi
consummating their purposes if. possible.
They must be met with an equal degree of
vigilance.
The increased interest in The Subject of
Religion, has not died out, as some at a dis
tance may have supposed. That which was
at first'unusnal, has now become common, so
that it is not looked upon nis something new,
and consequently the daily papers, take less
notice of it than formerly. But the work
seems deep, thorough, and genuine. The
daily prayer meetings are well attended, and
the Sabbath services, and other meetings in
the churches, are full of promise.

Muscatine, lowa.
Have just returned from Muscatine, where I
spent a week, preaching for Brother Belden.
Had gone there by the appointment of Presby
tery. Preached ten times, and attended prayer
meeting every morning. It was a pleasant, pro
fitable season. The church is in a prosperous
condition, having received a very large accession
as the result of the revival last Winter. Their
church edifice is finished and, furnished—the
largest and best in our connexion in the State.
They have a comfortable basement, well lighted
with gas, in whioh we held our week-day meetings.
The upper room will seat some seven hundred.
It was not filled on the Sabbath, but the congrega
tion in numbers was very respectable both in the
morning and evening, and the attention very good.
Dr. Cummins, who resides with his son•in-law
in the vicinity, and who is now eighty three years
of age, was able to be present, and made the in
troductory prayer to the communion services.
He is a venerable, lovely father in the ministry,
and his feeble earnest, supplicating voice was
solemn and impressive. It was as a voice from
the grave. We heard it as though it were for the
last time. I felt that I wanted to take him in my
arms,
,and go with him in the same chariot to.
glory. All felt, "that it was good to be there."
We had prayer-meeting every morning and
preaching every night. There was on the part of
the church generally, much earnest, persevering
prayer—a disposition manifested to come up to
to the help of the Lord against the mighty. The
meetings increased in interest every day , up to the
time that I left. When I next hear from there,
no doubt it will be the joyful tidings of sinners
being born unto God.
Brother Belden's prospects are very encour
aging were it not that his general health is not
good. The labor required and performed is too
much for him. His people are very kind and very
anxious to spare him in the performance of his many
duties, but his energy is away beyond his strength.
His very estimable lady watches for his health,
but it is like curbing a free horse. He will work,
sick or well, and just as well to remove the check.
I should mention for the encouragement of
others, that the debt for their building a few
weeks since was about $6,000. When I left, it
was all assumed by individuals, but about $l,OOO,
which, the Trustees confidently believed, would
also be shouldered in less than ten days. This, in
these hard times, was doing nobly, and I have no
doubt but God will reward them abundantly, ac
cording to his own promises. For "he loves the
cheerful giver." S.

and thanksgiving, and the company dispersed.

A Surprise.
Rev. J. H. Baird, pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Lock Haven, Pa., was agreeably sur
prised on his return from a visit in the country,
to find his house filled to overflowing with friends
and members of his congregation, who had come
to manifest their regard, by spending an hour or
80 in social intercourse, and oontribyting of their
means for the comfort of himself and family.
After partaking of a bountiful repast prepared
by the ladies for the occasion, and enjoying them
selves pleasantly during the evening, the com
pany dispersed, leaving, as substantial tokens of
their friendship, various requisities of faniily use,
a parlor carpet, and about seventy-five dollars
in money.

MESSRS. EDITORS :—Last New Year's day was
spent very pleasantly by myself and family, in
company with many of the good, kind people, to
whom I minister. They paid us a visit, and made
us many valuable presents, which amounted to a
very respectable sum. Such visits cheer the pas
tor's heart, as none know but they who receive
them. They convince him that his labors are not
altogether unappreciated. They tend to bind the
people to each other, and the pastor to his flock.
These people of Bethel have been loading us With
the good things of this life, ever since we oame
among them. May God supply all their need.

This excellent little Quarto-Monthly continues
to be published by Clark, 70 Fifth Street, Pitts
burgh. Price 50 cents, twelve copies for $B, to
teachers 25 cents a year.
We are requested to say, that there is a good
opening for a Physician, some twelve or fourteen
miles from 'Pittsburgh. The direction can be had
by calling at our office. A Presbyterian would
be preferred.
This is a valuable improvement, but greatly re
tarded and its business much cramped, for want
of funds. The Annual Meeting of the Stock
holders was held last week. Hon. W. F. John
ston, President, read the Report. The total re
ceipts were $74,997.72; expenditures $76.444.24.
If this read isould be brought down to the canal;
it would be greatly benefited thereby, as well as
better accommodate the public.

We are indebted to members of the Legislature
for copies of the Superintendent's Report. It is
a document of one hundred and eighty-two pages,
embodying a large amount of information. Penn
sylvania can hold her head high among her ids.:
ter - States, when she contemplates the rapid pro
gress of her Common Schools, and the high at
tainments made. There is still a want of a suf-
Solent number of fully qualified teachers, but
this arises from the high standards aimed at by
the State Superintendent, and his Associates in
the Counties. This defect is being remedied by
the Normal School system.
A Pittsburgh Passenger Railway.
Pittsburgh is considerably agitated, just now,
on the , subject of Yanenger Roilorays, on : _which
cars will supplant omnibuses. A bill reported
in the. Legislature, at the instance, it is said, of
the present Excelsior Omnibus Line, meets with
very great opposition. A second bill has been
presented, more general in its provisions, more
guarded, and better subserving the city financial
interests. But this also tails to give general sat
isfaction. The City Councils have, several times,
had the subject before them, but they are much
divided in regard to plans and terms.
We are strongly in favor of a ,Passenger Rail
way, and, soon, of several of them: Bat, let
there be no needless monopoly. And still, let
the charter be liberal. While public improve
ments are so guarded by law that, with the
least injury possible to private interests, they
shall subserve the greatest degree of public ben
efit, let them be also such that they shall fairly
remunerate the advances and energies of the or
, porators.
The construction of a large and commodious
stone Hotel, says the Lecompton Democrat, the
building of a magnificent Town Hall, and the
erection of a very handsome house of worship by
the Old School Presbyterians of this place, has
not only added greatly to the appearance of our
young city, but it has awakened a spirit of enter
prise among our citizens, that we are please 1 to
see. Several new and important buildings we
learn, have been contracted for, and are shoal to
be erected by Mr. Henderson, a master builder
who has recently located with us. Mr. Hender
son, has given us a specimen of his good taste and
style of workmanship, that hims not only rendered
great satisfaction, but entitles him to much credit.

Another Great Cure Effected by Borhave's Holland
The wife of Peter De Witte, living in Holland
Town, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, suffered
much from Weakness of the Stomach and Indiges
tion. She had been under a physician's care for
some time, but the disease seemed •to baffle even'
his skill. She purchased some Holland Bitt,rs
at our office, which has given tone to her stomach ;
her appetite and strength are returning, and we
firmly believe that this is another great cure ef

MESSRS. FLEMING BROTHERS—Dear Sira :
There were severaOcases of Chills and Fever in
my mother's family at the time we reoeived the
Dl'Laste's Liver Pills ordered in my letter of June
12th, and a few doses administered, in each case
produced the desired effect, thus demonstrating
the efficiency of these celebrated Pills in that
disease.
Mother has not been troubled 'with the sick
headache since she has commenced taking these
Pills, and as we have but few of them left, you
will pleatie send us another dollar's worth. Direct,
as before, to Austin, Texas. B.espectfully yours,
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR. M'-

Easiness is dull, as is geOssally the cage this season or the
year. There is, however, a steady amount or trade going
on, and the manufacturing businees is something brisker
than at this time last year.
Money is moderately plenty, and in bettor demand. The
movements of our Banks are very even, showing but little
change from week to week. The New York Times says:
"The Money Market is settling down to 6 cent. to the
brokers, and Offit per cent. for discounts beyond slaty days.
Some very short and choke aeceptances are current within
8 per cent."
The Philadelphia Bulkilts says “ There is an int:viand
demand for money on the street, but there is no abatement
in the supply of capital, and tut class short paper's readily
negotiated at 8 per cent."
'There is but little change in the Produce Market, and
'Flour and Grain maintain previous rates. The Chicago
Tribune, of Saturday, quotes Corn at MU, and Wheat at

The news from Liverpool, is to Jan, 22d. The
state of affairs on the Continent was exceedingly
unsettled. The symptoms of a conflict between
Austria and France continue. Prance has sent
two additional regiments to Rome. Prussia has
signified her sympathy 'with Austria. The pre
servation of the peace of Europe depends much
on Russia and England, the former of which in
clines to the French side of the question, and the
latter.to the Austrian; but neither has spokes
decidedly. ' •
The news from India is favorable. The court

DIED.-At Sewiekleyville, Ps., on the 12th of
December, 1858, Mrs. ELIZA Corm, daughter of
the late Robert Anderson, Esq., in the 63d year
of her ago.
But few are called to pass a life of greater vi
oissitudee, both delightful and painful, to abound
more in acts of usefulness, to endure more for the
Gospel's sake, or to experience more of the power
and blessedness of Divine grace than did this
saint, now at rest. In early life she made the
Saviour of sinners her choice, and never did she
falter in the service she had chosen. No fascina
tions of pleasure could turn her aside from fol
lowing the great Master; nor could threatenings
intimidate her from a profession of his name.
The pathway of her Christian life was not the
smooth and agreeable one, along which most
who bear the name of Christ are permitted to
walk. For - a long series of years, after she
left the parental home, it was not unusual for her
to be subjected to every artifice by which she
might be led to abandon her Christian profession;
and when this failed, the religion. oho loved so
much was treated with derision and scorn, and
the name of ber Saviour was blasphemed; so that
in sponse
,she was a martyr and a confessor for
Jesus. But none of these things moved her; she
clung to the cross more firmly, and continually in
creased in devotedness and zeal. Secret prayer,
reading of holy Scripture, the family altar, the
prayer•meeting, and the sanctuary, were the de
light of her soul; and neither entreaty nor threat
ening could induce her to neglect them.
And as becometh women professing godliness:
she adorned herself with good works. In the
social circle she was , always welcome, but never
was she so happy as when relieving the poor,
nursing the sick, or strengthening the weak and
desponding. Her purse was always open to the
calls of charity, and her hand was ever ready to
meet the demands of duty. Indeed during the
last few years, her great object, as was apparent to
all, was to live for God in seeking the welfare of
others. Her mother, brothers, and sisters, have
lost one who loved them fondly, the Church a
most devoted member, and the poor and the sick
one who felt much and did much for them. She
rests- from her labors, and her works do follow her.
DIED-At• Chapel Hill. N. C., December Bd,
SUSAN datum, wife of Wm. J. Martin, Professor
in the University of North Carolina, and formerly
Professor of Natural Science in Washington Col
lege, Pa., aged 24 years. .Alno, at Richmond,
Va., December 27th, Palms KEMPEN, only child ,
of Prof. Martin, aged 2 years.
Mysterious beyond human comprehension is
the providence which has in one month turned
the joy of this happy husband. and fond father
to the sadness of bereavement and solitude.. A
sudden reverse deprived him of the wife of his
youth, after the crisis of danger was supposed to
have been 'safely passed ; and the agony of solic
itude in behalf . of his motherless child, was
settled by the good Shephold, who took the little
lamb into his own bosom. In both oases, a voice
from behind the oloud,'has called, saying, "Be
still and know that I am God." Many hearts,
in different and distant States, have wept in sym
pathy with the bereaved survivor of this stricken
household, and prayed for sustaining grace in the
severity of his trials. •
Mrs. Martin was a lady of unusual loveliness
of character. Amiability, gentleness, candor,
and cheerfulness, were beautifully blended in her
disposition, whilst the graces of the Spirit shed
their fragrance over her whole life. She held a
high place in the affectionate regards of all who
knew her, but especially was she loved for the
purity and elevation of her conversation as a
Christian. She died in the serenity of a radiant
filth in Christ, careful only for the griefs of
those who, surviving, would mourn her de
parture. Her earthly remains were borne to the
University of Virginia, the place of her birth,
and interred, in the hope of a glorious resurrec
tion, beside those of her lamented father, who.
had bean officially connected, with that institution
—soon to be joined by those of her darling child.
They were " lovely and pleasant In their lives,
and in their death they were not divided." B.
Dran—ln Philadelphia, on, the 20th inet, after,
four years of constant pain and suffering, with .
consumption and affection of the spine, MARY
BOARDXAN VARNEY, wife of the Rev. Wiles T.
Mervin.
She -fell asleep in Jesus, in Calm and -boll
resignation to the will of her Heavenly Father,
in hope of a glorious immortality. Her disease
was beyond the power of medicine. The most
eminent surgeons and physicians were consulted,
and could do nothing for her relief. For years
past she was not able to lie down to rest, but had
to lean against a support, and then to change her
position for.relief very frequently, day, and night.
She bore her great debility and sufferings with
the utmost patience and fortitude. Although
wearisome days, and nights, and years were
allotted her, yet she never murmured nor repined
against Him who appointed them all.. Not many
hours before her departure, she said, "The Lord
Will give me rest in his own good time." She re
tained her reason until the last, and then breathed
out her soul into the hands of her Redeemer so
peacefully and gently, that death came like a
sweet sleep to one that is weary. "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth." She
has left this life of trial, suffering, and sin, for
ever. She sleeps in Jesus, in hope of a glorious
re-union, one day again, with those she loved.
Her friends loss is her unspeakable and eternal
gain. Her bereaved companion and daughter are
smitten, but the hand of their Father in heaven
has "done it, and he doeth all things well. U.
Dntn—Suddenly r of heart disease, on Tuesday,
January 11th, in Harford County, Md., Mrs:
MANX ANN, wife of Samuel M. Whiteford, in the
48th year of her age.
DIED—On the sth of January, Miss Meux A.
RITCHEY, of Nottingham, Washington Co., Pa.
Miss Ritchey was.a young, lovely, and promis
ing member of Pigeon Creek church. She was
calm and happy in death. She "lives in heaven,
to die no more."
Bon—ln Brownsville, 0., on the 20th ult.,
Mrs. MARY AULD, aged 73 years, 6 months, and

The deceased was for a long time a happy and
consistent member of the Presbyterian Church.
She bare her affliction in a Christian way. She
leaves a, large circle of friends to mourn her loss.
But their loss is her gain. We commend the
friends to the grace of eod, that is able to make
them wise unto salvation. 8 P.
