For the Prehyterlan Banner and Advocate
Presbytery, of Blaiieville.
The 'Presbytery of Blairsville had a very
e as t int. meeting at Jobe stown. The reports from
the different congregations on the state of religion
were very encouraging. They all speak of an
Increased attendance and attention upon the
uvula of grace. Prayer meetings are multiplied
and well nttended, and in some of the congrega
tions the elders have, been exceedingly active and
faithful, visiting and conversing personally on the
subject of religion with every member of the con•
{;negation. The number reeeived into the commu
nion of the Church was not as great as last year,
hut largely exoelling the average of many years
past. In a word, all our churches are enjoying a
large measure of pence and prosperity.
The action of Presbytery on the Overture from
the General Amenably,
,with regard to the Demis
Pion of the Ministerial Office, is embodied in the
following paper, which was adopted :with entire
iinnnimity, and which I was Flireoted to send to
you for publication.
a The Presbytery in answering this Overture
in the negative, would hereby express their deep
conviction, that no Church Court has any right or
power to release a minister of the Gospel from
his ordination vows, or to receive his Remission
of the sacred office ; that were their convictions
otherwise, they would greatly doubt the wisdom of
facilitating the retirement of men from the mine
istry at this time, when it is apprehended that
young men are often unduly urged to enter our
Theological Seminaries, without sufficient oare to
set before them the solemn nature of the vows
and life•ooneecration involved in the ministerial
office, fo'r whioh they are urged and expected to
prepare ; and that there exists ample provision•in
our Book of Discipline for disposing of those
who disregard their ordination vows."
After the adjournment of Presbytery, a num
ber of the members went up to the new village of
Conemaugh, where the congregation of Johns
town, have just completed a very neat and com
modious church edifice for the accommodation of
the people retdding in that neighborhood, and
whloh was to be dedicated to the worship of God.
The services were interesting, and were. attended
upon by a large and attentive audience, This is
a new and promising enterprise,
.and shows what
can and should be done by mauy of our congre
gations in the way of Church Extension.

Witensms, The Presbyterian Church in the
United States bar e so me live Seminaries, with about
twenty professors, and near half a million of
money invested, ,and only about four hundred
young men studying for the ministry; and,
WHIIIitEIAS, Many and, serious difficulties, such
as the scarcity of money, difference of opinion
among the brethren more immediately interested,
and other difficulties stand in the way of estab

The Austrian troops, to the number of one

been no battle, at the last intelligence. A French
army of eighty thousand, had entered Sardinia
on the other side, and vast numbers were

The reported alliance between Russia and
France is now posilively denied; but there is a
Convention between the two countries, favorable

England was making warlike preparations with
great activity, and, if she cannot prevent, the
conflict, is very likely to become a party in the
affair. The probabilities'of war are very strong,
and the destruction of life cannot but be terrible.

pin—Maroh 26th, 1869, at Wellsville, Ohio, Mrs, libetle,
a= E. Meourrosa, in the 32d year of ber age.
The deceased wee the wife of P. S. alaelutoeh r Eeg., a
Ruling Elder In the Presbyterian church of Wellsville, and
the daughter of Mr. Thomae and Mrs. Mary Mehaffy, of
Erie, Pa. Her sieknees was long; her sufferings severe;
her end peace ; and be went up to he forever "with the
Lord." Her years were few, but the Pervading spirit of her
life will never be forgotten. Unobtrusive and retiring, yet
winning and attractive in her manners. Shrinking with
truly feminine delicacy from publicity, Battery, or praise,
yet giftedwith a self:dependent spirit, /mien unconquerable
resolution, which nerved her to do and suffer wherever
duty called. If pleasant be the memories of her, that
linger in the house, of her childhood and youth, how much
more ardent the attachments of friends, who were daily
Witnesses of the `fervor' and Purity of Conjugal boy% the
depth and constancy of filial affection, and the-earnestness
and beauty of maternal tenderness. '
Desolate now a husband's home, bereaved her three
motherless children, Mill, with the sorrow there is joy.
The consoLations of religion were her support in death.
Thy rod and thy Oka they comfort me!' was the len
game of her departing moments. The gracious manifests.
lions of Divine 'Amor enabled her to conquer dismay at the
King of Terrors, to commit her children ,to 'a covenant
keeping God, and with calmness and serenity. 'sink to her
rest, whispering back as she neared the shire of "the land
-thatle affar off;' " I am with Jesus." ' L.

BALL'S OHIO MOWER and MOWER AND REAPER
COMBINED, for the harvest of 1859, to which was awarded
the highest number of merit marks, (01,) as a Mower, at
the great national trial, held in Syracuse, July, 1857.
In again presenting this truly valuable machine to the
farming community, we do it with the asenrance thatitWill
still hold and retain its place at the head of all other
As a Mower it is well known, and we now present it as a
combined machine, the Reaper having been well and fully
tested during the harvests of 1857 and 1858. Among the
many advantages it possesses over other machines, are
1. Lightness of draft, durability, no side draft, steel cut
ter bar, portability, AG.
2. Running on two wheels, the cutter bar being hinged,
allows it to fellow the uneven surface of the ground.
8. The very important advantage, peasessed by . no other
machine 'of regulating the cot, by means of a lever at the
driver's right band, so as to oat high or low without stop.
ping, which any farmer who has eat lodged grass, knows is
of great importance.
4. Its portability; as it can be transported from place to
place,without taking off the cutter bar, or taking out the
knife, being ready in a moment for cutting or transporting.
5. Every farmer knows the advantages of having ma
chines manufactured near home.
0. Having two cutter battens,' one expressly for reaping,
cutting six feet wide, and one expressly for mowing, cut-
Sing four feet eight inches wide, completely adapts It
either for mowing or reaping. The change can be effected
from mowing to reaping, or reaping to mowing, in fifteen
minutes.
These are only a few of the many advantages the BALL
MACHINE possesses over all other., and we would *dein
those wishing to purchase, to examine this machine before
purchasing elsewhere.. • .
Employing none but experienced workmen, and using no
materials but such as have been selected with great oars,
enable ne to turn oat work surpassed by no other manufac
tory. For fhrther information, or circulars, address

It is encouraging to see such a work make its appearance

end aged believers, may read and study it with like profit.
It has already lived a century, and it will live for centuries
after many of the ephemeral productions of our times have
been forgotten.

This is one of those books, rich in practical and experi
mental Gospel truth, that wherever there are Christians,
will be popular. It meg* the eases of conscience, which
trouble upright and;humble. Christians everywhere, and
answers them in an " evangelical manner." It Is fall of
spiritual comfort. .

" The book is committed to the blessing of God, with the prayer that it may be one of the
aids by which the worship of God may be extended and perpetuated amidst the, families of
this land."—Extract from the Preface.
We take it for granted that all true Christian heads of families will see to it, that there
is under their roof a family alter. Torthose who may feel that they have not such gifts as are
requisite for this duty, the present work may serve a good purpose.. At any rate it removes
the last excuse for the neglect of family prayer,"—Ertrect from the Preeb,yterian.

DR. N. STEBBINS having opened a Dental Office tit 191
Penn Street, is prepared to manufacture and insert Teeth
of the above descriptions, and solicits an examination of
their claims to public favor.
In introducing these new and improved styles of Den
tistry to the citizens of Pittsburgh, Dr. 8. feels assured of
the same favorable reception which has been accorded to
them in New York and other localities where they htve
been practically tested; and be furthermore believes that
they are destined to supersede, as they excel,' all other
styles, in lightness, strength, b ea uty, and purity, and In
every quality which render artificial teeth desirable ; and
are at the same time much less expensive.
Dr. Stebbins will insert Gold Plate work hi the best style
for any who prefer it, and those making a trial of the new
method,lf not perfectly satiefied, may exchange for Gold
Plate, by paying the difference. Specimens of the Cordite
and Porcelain Teeth may be seen by all who desire to ex
