res . hgttrian Nanntr. PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11,1860. Having purchased for our glee ' the " Right &W. Dick's Accountant and Dispatch Patent, all, or nearly 414 of our subscribers now have their papers addressed to them: regularly by a singularly titgique machine, which fastens on the white margin a small catered 46 address stamp," or label, whereon appears their name plainly printed, followed by the date up to which they havaid for their papers—this being. authorized , by an ; Act o f' Congress. The date will always_ be advance d on. the receipt of subscription money, in' exact accordance with the amount so received, and thus be an ever-ready and 'cated receipt; Securing to every one, and at all limes,"a*rfeet knowledge of his stawsPallbr ac count. so that if any error is made he can immediately de tect it and hate it corrected—a boon alike valuable to the plaWaher and tubicriber, as it must terminate all painful misunderstandings . between them respecting accounts, and thus feud to perpetuate their important relationship. IMpOSitiO inadvertently, publish ed, last week, a notice relative to Washing- College, over the signature of" James ; Black, See." There were several things in it that struck us'as being a little singular,' but still, it had the appearance of genu ineness. We now learn that it was utterly an imposition. The meanness of the man who could do such a thing is contemptible, and we• hope he may be discovered. and ex posed. REY. Ii EI% C. FOSTER. Mr. FOSTER :S'lU a graduate of Williams College, and took his theological course at Princeton.. He was settled at Red-Mills, Putnam County, N. Y.,' in 1854. His health was habitually feehle. Seeking its restoration, he undertook 'a Western tour, and travelled as far as St. Paul, Minnesota. His physical energies yielded to the toils of the journey, and in nine days after reaching St. Pant he died. A correspondent of the PrestAterian speaks of .as , being possessed of fine preaching abilities, and holding a high so cial position. INDIVIDUAL , DUTY RESPECTING THE CON- Minn OF THE WORLD. This' is the title of a sermon preached by Rev . . R. L. STAN ToN D.P., of Columbus, Ohio, before the General Assembly, at Rochester, in behalf of the Board of For eign Missions. The sermon is founded up on Acts ix : 6—" Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ?" ' This is the inquiry - of a new born soul. His first desire is for knowl edge, leading to activity. The converted Saul recognizei, :Tesis as his Master, and would enter at once .upon a' service. And Bich is the aspiration and'consecration of every new born soul. The Christian thinks not of inactivity; nor of self-direction. He gives himself to a work, and he takes his instructions from his Lord. The 'service which Christ requires, is very extensive. It embraces all that a man can do, for, himself, his family, the commu nity, and the world. Paul was employed, mainly, in carrying the Gospel to the hea then.' The proposttion which. Dr. STANTON deduces from the:text is, that an obligation it imposed by the Saviour upon -all the members of his Church, without exception, to be active laborers in his vineyard., He then considers the Reality of this duty; the Nature of the service involved ; the *uses. against which-the service should be guarded ; and' the Results likely "to - dow from its full discharge. These topics are ail ably treated. In discussing the latter, the preacher shoe's that one result of the fall and faithful , diseliarge of this duty by the members of the Church would be, the. securing 'of 'the Divine blessing in an ex-; traordinery ,manner ; another would be, a conviction on the part of the unbelieving world, that Chriatianity is of God; and a third would,be, a most po'we'rful influence upon the heathen. 1:)r. STANTON makes , some excellent re marks upon the duty of the Church in ref erenee to the-employing-of all her effective force, in some , outward, .active service. The, young and the ardent should especially be called to labor, and wisely directed. Their tendency to work is shown in their readiness to enter Yo-ung Men's Christian Associations. ,These do , much•good; but much:more still might be done by their la boring in the . Church in conjunction with her Spiritual 'Officers and her experienced members. • JEFFMONIANS, AWAKING. In our account of the late Commence ment'at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pa., it willbe Seen.that there is quite an awak eued. spirit in, the Trustees and Alumni, relative to an increase, in the endowment, in order to a greatly enlarged efficiency. The number of Alumni present was not very great, but they seemed to possess only one mind, relative to the wants of their loved and venerated 4/ma Hater, and one spirit in regard to her best interests. To place - her ifir a - griper basis, and duly to elevate.her,in theliterary and scientific world,- she needri a large increase of funds. Her present' instructors are, a President and five Professor& These gentlemen are eminent, each in bis proper departinent; and they are Officers wholly consecrated to their work. Six ~men ;their superiors in ability, altainments, and professional de votedness, it Would be difficult to bring any i to gether in institution . " "But they are too few in number. There is pressing need for two more teachers =just now, and there re ally should be four more. - Ten teachers is the smallest number that should 144egard ed as satisfactory in an institution, em bracing two, hun i 4xed„aUtl fifty pupils. Jefferson toolc,„the., lead in education, West of the Alggheriy Mountains. And she'has kept it, wellPerforming'her part. But ebe ceunoi.,,lOng icep it, without a large increase taller funds. At the meeting of the - Alumni to which we have alluded, Revs.' MICINNEY, and Aufsort were appoiptd a committee to attend to the College interests. The Boird of Trustees appointed Revs. PRESS EN', and ?AXTON, and J. P. STERRETT, Esq., to cooperate with the Alumni Cora mitiee, to seek theendowment of the Greek Scholarship, and to raise funds ,to ,meet other pressing,wants of the College ; These gentlemen met in Pittsburgh on the `Ad inst., and appointed, a ; Chairman and Secretary of the joint pommittee, and re= solved to employ a general agent.

JEFFERSON COLLEGE • The Annual Commencement,siereises of this, the oldest and most distinguished Col lege West of the Alleghenies, were held last week, and terminated to the entire satisfaction of all. , The sermon before the religious Societies was preached en Sabbath morning, the 29th nit., by Rev. Moses A. Hoar, of Zanes ville, Ohio, from Gal. vi : Faith worketh by love' The sUbject deduced was Christian philanthropY. This .dis course was able, practical, and exceedingly well received. In the evening the Bacca laureate was delivered by President ALDEN, from " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his - righteousness " The'object of this discourse was to . show that the pursuit ~of holiness as a chief end, also promotes inci dentally the highest mental I development, intellectual, aesthetic, and' social 'This sermon was in the usual felicitonS and effective style-of the President. - - • On Tuesd'ay afternoon? the address before the Alumni was deliVered by the Rev. J. J. MARKS, D.D., of the class 0f.r1830. This address reviewed briefly thelistory of Jeffersen College, more especially giving the memories of the writer, Of th 6 Rev. Dr. .Bao.wN--analyzed the characteristics of a .man who left his ,impress sd deeply +on Western Pennsylvania.. He gaVe as one of the sirifigs of the Dr.'s influence, his broad, Summer-like generosity of heart---despising' all that was mean, ungenerous and . cruel—in all things honorable, frank, and magnanimous. Another feature of the- Dr. was his love =of rare characters: He had' a red epicurean pleasure in men who show pecu liarities of mind, elevating' them above the usual level of humanity. He was fond to weakness of men of wit, humor; and graphic talent. The Dr.'s own powers of conver sation were of the highest order, and never did he appear so' great and richly endowed as in his heurs of conversational ease. He described - the Dr. as a man of sinz,mu lar courage, cowering before no danger,; a man who could never be trifled with nor despised, because strong in his manliness. Another secret of the Dr.'s power when alive, and permanent influence when dead, was his profound'reverence for the And amain his manifest piety' shone in his' prayerfulness—often spending entire nights with God—and in consequence he was invest ed to the eye of his students *ith'iionie of that mysterious power and glory in whieh, to the Jew, the High Priest appeared when he came out of the Holy, of Holies—that the students could not shake.off the impression made by auch,a man. He described_the Dr,as a man of varia ble temper—to-day, the groaning, discour aged prisoner in the Castle of Despair, and to-morrow, .the exultant pilgrim on . the Mountain of Delight, catching glimpses of the 'glory of the heavenly , city. These alternations of joy and sadness, ..of tation and depresgion, more fully dus-; played the many sides of his highly, gifted nature, and made him: more fully known and; appreciate& Thus his' evident piety gave a . permanent power :to otherwise transient excellences: In conclusion, he paid a. short and most deserving tribute to Prof._MILLER, and , alluded to the eminent attainments of Prof SMITH, whom lie asserted to be one of the first Greek scholars of the age; and lie ex pressed the, hope that he might be long spared a sacred link between the venerated, historic past and the present. Dr. MARKS then proceeded to give an aecOunt of the subsequent history of the members of his'elass, so far as it could be obtained. In some respects this was a re . maikable class; the number 'of, its mem bers was thirty-two; of these, twenty-two became ministers of the Gospel, =six :of whom went 'out as foreign missionaries. 'Of the latter, CLoyn died 'Africa.; M. B. HOPE was a: missionary at'Singapore, ,and 4110 a Professor in Princeton 0011Pge'; JOSEPH'Krum. was a missionary to the Welt Indians.; FitA.NCIS LAIRD - died in , Africa; F ThuN'NETVI"ON is now 'one of the oldest missionaries of the - PresbYterian Church in Northern India; and; JAMES WILSON is also a missionary in Northern , India. Of 'the whole nuraber, ten are' known to have died. A brother of the late PHILIP BARTON KEY, Esq., who, fell by the hand of Mr. SroitrAs, in, Washington City, was a member of this' Class. .died a Vagabond. The a'ddref..s of Dr. MARK'S was very happy, and highly appreciated by the audience. Following nextin order was the meeting' of the Alumni, who repeated a copy of that part 'of the addegi - of Pr MARKS concerning Dr. BuowN,'for publication in pamphlet form, and that the history of the' Class be published in the 'Presbyterian Banner. This meeting of the Alunini mos, unusually interesting and spirited. RneOnraging and earnest remarks. were made by the Rev. Jouri PATTON,' bf adelphia; Rev. JAMES ALEXANDER, D.D., Hon. JAMES VEECII, Of Uniontown, :Rev., J. L. VALLANDIGRAM., . Rev., jAmEs, 'BI,OAN, D.D.,• Rev. J. S. POMEROY and `others. The necessity for the endo*ment of: at leaSt two additional profesSorships was admitted by all, and that the necessary funds could. be secured was doubted' by none. -A Committee consisting of Rev. Drs. 'blcKil+tilEv ' and SMITH, and Rev. JAMES ALLISON Was appointed to, confer with theßoUrd of Trustees with respect . to the propriety of appointing a ! general agent and in other ways increasing the funds `demaniled by the present . and pros pective condition of the institution. The . Trustees appointed Rev. VAL PiiTorr, Rev. Dr. MCELWEE, and, Hon. WILLIAM MCDANIEL a Committee of Conference: Next morning the 'joint Committees report ed to the Trukees, who appointed' Rev. Dr. PRESSLY, Rev. WM. •M: PAXTON, and JAMES P. STERRETT, ESQ., 8 COM mitthe to . act with ReV. Drs., MCKINNEY an 4 and.
