Union Bible Seminary.—The United Brethrei have established a tneulugioal school in Dayton Ohio, designated as above. It was opened on th< llib ol October. This furnishes another gratify log proof that the ami education teudeoey whict prevailed in the eariy history ot this denomiuatioi is passing away, that both a literary and theologi cal education are indispensable to the attainmen of highest usefulness in the ministry, and the per petuit) and progress of a denomination, lttv. D K. F.tckinger slates, that eight students have al ready euiered the Seminary, and that this nuinbei will he d lubltd, ll not trebled, next year. Hi then adds: "‘llad this Seminary been operiei twenty years ago, the writer, and scores of others, would have been better qual.fied for the work o; the ministry.” Eev. Alfred Cookman, a prominent minister in thi Methodist chuith and pastoral Newark. N. J died in that eity ou Monday night, in th j fifty fiti.1 year ot his age, his death being caused by para lysis. Editorial Eeward —The editor of th Lutheran Dr. SSeiss, lu noticing the present ot a gold watcti and a purse of money to Dr. Fisher, the editor ol the Messenger, was ied by the laws of assoeiatioi. to contrast nis own condition with that of his mort fortunate contemporary, and in congratulating him, makes also au acknowledgment of the kind of re ward he has received fur his editorial labors, llert it is: He (Dr. Fisher) seems very happy under it (the reward received,) and, no doubt, is; wherefore wt congratulate him, though unable, from experience, to-euter into his feelings. The returns brought ur for our labors in similar relations are, no salary and plenty of advice and abuse. Convenient.—There is a church on Fifth avenue New Yolk, with a glass door in its vestibule, so as to enable those who have their “favorites” to get a glance at the officiating miuister without disturb ing tho congregation. Episcopal Diversities.—While the bishops of the Episcopal church declare their unanimous judg ment, ihat the word "regenerate.” employed in the baptismal service of a child, does not mean that a moral change” takes place in such bap tism, Dr. Adams, a professor in an Episcopal Theo li gicai Seminary in Wisconsin, has just published a treati.-e on Regeneration in Baptism,” maintain ing the contrary. He says: *‘Regeneration takes place in and by the sairament of baptism. The man s sins are then all forgiven. The vital prin ciple of a new life, the life of Christ, is then and there implanted in him." A congress ot English Episcopal clergymen has recently been held at Nottingham The subject of the "promotion of a deeper unity within the church and among Christians generally” was in troduced, and its discussion caused considerable excitement. “When Mr. Bavley, one of tho speakers, al luded to the recent Episcopal ministrations in Scotch churches, and expressed the hope that their ‘tentative efforts in the direction of union with the Presbyterians-ought lo be followed up, there was a perfect .storm of disapproval from the high chuich portion ot the audience, and as loud a de monstration ot approval on the other side, which was again arid again renewed, when the speaker sai dovi ii.”—Lutheran. The Induction of the Rev. Wm. H. Ilornblower. D. D as Piolessor of Preaching and Pastoral Care in the Allegheny Seminary, took place on the 15th inst. Syl- ester Woodbridge, Jr., II. D., Surgeon of the steamship Moses Taylor, died at sea on the 3rd inst., en route from Honolulu to San Fiancisco.— Dr. Woodi riilge was the eldest son of Rev. Dr. Woodhrtiige, editor of the Occident and pas tor of the Howard Street Presbyterian church San Francisco. Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Adams, of Boston, who has recently returned hum sailing around the world in a ship commai.ded by his son, has given a small volume ol ISO pages, presenting ihe incidents ol his voyage and his observations by the way ot Cape Horn, the Sandwich I-lauds and China It is a beautitul btory of a lung and interesting journey. DOMESTIC MISCELLANY. The Eolfiieris Monument at Hollywood.—One of our missionaries in Braz-1 writes of a pile of r icks near the Euiperor’s palace at Rio Janeiro, that is covered with the vines of I.he Ivy and running Rose, arid gave a good idea of what our Mono ment will be in after years. The Ivy in that country has a rapid growth, and we hope to obtain some of the roots of that species for the Southern side of our rock pile. Simple, rugged and mas sive, the very sight of it touches cords in every Southern heart, lor it tells of unflinching endu rai'ce, ol undaunted heroism and of untiring de votion. Gen Early.—The lecture of the noble old hero to the Survivors’ Association” at.Columbia S 0.. was most eh quent aDd impressive. We learn by a private letter from the General that, there was great interest and enthusiasm manifested in the objects of the Association. He desires to have the N. (J. Association organized and at work as soon as possible. If the General will repeat his addrr ss in our model towu, we have no doubt that it would give an impulse to the organization.— Southern Home, (Charlotte, N. 0.) Several trains on the Union Pacific Railroad were snow tiourrd on Monday, between Omaha and Cheyenne. A Eill repealing woman suffrage has passed the lower branch of the Wyoming Legislature. The Reports of the Agricultural Bureau on the cotton crop prospi cts indicate a larger product thau was expected in 0 tober. Prof. Charles Phillips. —This distinguished schoi ar has been lying ill at Davidson College for foui weeks. On last Thursday, but, little hopes were entertained of his recovery. But he is now irn ■proving. Prof. Phillips is not merely the greatest living mathematical] in the State, but is also emi nent as a theologian and has an exalted reputation as a teacher. Lmg in-av he be spared in his ca reerof usefulness.—Southern Home. New Hall at Ashland.—The brick work of (he elf gam new hallai Randolph Macori College. A-h laod, in process of erection by the Wa-hington arid Franklin literary societies ol that, institution, ha just been completed by Messrs. Javens Ciarke u* Alexandria. “The beauty of the brick” can not be excelled. The Signal Eureau. Previous to the violent storm of wmu tnat swept almost across the whole terri tory of the United States, when in some places the velocity was as high as sixty miles an hour, the Signal Bureau at Washington ordered caution ary sigWaisai eighteen of the twenty s'gnal station along tho Atlantic and lake coasts, and these wert di-played in ail cases from five to fifteen hours in advance of the stoirn. The efficiency of the bureau was never more cleatly demonstiated, and il the signals were duly regarded, it is quite possi ble that enough property was saved on this single occasion to pay a di zrn times over the covt o1 organizing and operating this most important branch ol service. FOREIGN ITEMS. The Irish Presbyterian Church.—From the Min utes of the Assembly lately published, it appean that the total number of ministers is 528, and ihi number of congregations 550. The Irish Presbyterians are making arrange ments to have a lay conference iu London, a which representatives are to be present from al the congregations in the country, in order to givi gi a er txueoiion and completeness to their centra Susteutation Fund. French Protestantism,—It is estimated that ther are lebs than two million Protestants in France inc uded in the National Church. Fiee Church, th Rdoimed, and other minor sects. Dr. de Pres set.ee.' he dLsdngu shed a-tor ol the F ee Church nrges ihe esiatii,si.incut o a Protestant schoo c th ology and philosophy iu Paris a> a centre fo disseminating the truth over France. 5 The new British expedition organised by the l Palestine Exploration Fond, which has been it j preparation f>ra considerable time has started toi he H ily Land, under the charge of Capt.. R W S'ewart. R K. Captain Stewart’s main work will lie the eon plrtiou of the survey of Palestine. The s Committee's programme embraces a period ol j three or four years to complete the woik. Alexis Alexandrovitch, the third surviving son of the Czar of llus-ia, and lieutenant on board the I f-igate Svetlana. arrived at New York on Nov. 19 I The formal reception by the United States Naval l Squadron took place on Monday. A Protestant School in Home—Mrs. Einilv Bliss Gould. the daughter of the late Dr. Bliss, of N Y and the int» I'igont Roman correspondent of the Ol server the Evening Post, and the Church 1 man. has published an interesting pamphlet re specting her school in Rome, which, as a labor of J lnve‘. she opened last March with three pupils.— The number increased in a few weeks to nearly a hundred, and is now probably several hundreds.— 1 “Ti ere is no city in Europe,” she says, “where the l ent fits of education are more thoroughly ap predated and more eagerly sought for than now i in Rome. I feel that. I may plead the high reli gious, moral, and intellectual tone of the school, the rapid improvement the children have made, and the need for sound Christian education in Rome, while I appeal to all who sympathize with the new day of liberty which has dawned upon Rome, for aid to contrive and multiply our labors." Mrs. Gould appeals to her friends at home for assistance in meeting the necessary expenses fur rent, books, teachers &j as well as for the means of enlarging her work. To those who know her, and her earnest Christian activity,” her work needs no recommendation. In a Free Church. —It is noticed as a peculiarity of the Argyll celebration, that the Duke of E fin burgh.'who heard Dr. Guthrie preach on the Sun day, was the first member of the rojal family who had ever been present at worship in a Free church sanctuary. The Princess Louise will uo doubt fie a regular attendant with her husband at. 'he Church of Scotland service, when residing in Scotland. Critical Condition of the College of Cardinals.—The condition of the Sacred College is becoming very critical. Cardinal Arnat, aged seventy seven, has had a fir ot apoplexy, and is very ill indeed. Car dinal Clarelli, aged seventy three, has also had a fi of apoplexy at Naples, and came hack to R ime lately in a state which leaves little hope that he will recover. Catdinal Barnabo. aged seventy one, has gone nearly mad with an attack of gout on the brain, while Cardinal Barili, aged seventy one. has had two apoplectic seizures, one alter another. Cardinals De Angelis, aged eighty one. De Aiama da. aged ninety-one. and Billiet, aged ninetv. are altogether past work, and should they survive the Pope would be unable to take any part in a con clave. Cardinal Caterini. aged seventy eight is in his second childhood. Cardinal Guaglia suffers from a disease which completely prostrates his mental powers. Catdinal Donnet aged seventy seven. is also in bis seco ,d childhood. Finally, the youngest of the Cardinals, Cardinal Milesi aged fifty five, is dying of consumption, flere we have twelve members of the Sacred College inva lid. On the other hand, there are twenty .four vacant hats. There remain, therefore, only thirty four Cardinals to form a conclave. It appears that the Pope has quite determined not to create any new ones, in order that his successor may be select ed immediately on his decease. In this the Pope is supported by the Jesuits, who are determim d at all hazards to secure the tiara for Cardinal Capalti Up to the pre-ent time all the efforts of the Catholic Powers to induce the Pope to create Caidinals have proved unavailing. But now the moderate section of the Card.nals, who are opposed to Patrizi and Capalti. begin to be alarmed at the insignificance of their number, and are earnestly urging the Pope to make some additions to the Sacred College. Pall Mall Guztte. Palestine Exploration Fund —The new English expedition, which has been in preparation for a considerable time, has just started for the Holy Land. It has been placed under the charge of Captain R VV. Stewart. Capt Stewart’s main work will he the completion of the survey of Palestine. How much this is wanted is only known, perhaps, to map-makers and professional geogra phers. but every one who has really studied the Old Testament history can tell of undiscovered sites and places whose positions seem to be lost altogether. To rediscover these will be one of the aims of the exploring party. _ In Pekin (China a periodical of extraordinary *iie is published. It is printed on silk It is said to have been published tor 1 0 10 years. In the year 1867, a State official caused an item of faise news to t>e inserted and was punished with death In the Parisian royal library there are a few num bers of this periodical, each I3J- ells long. A Firman has been issued by the Sultan of Tur key directing his minister of Works to begin mak iug sundry public improvements, in view of the network ot railways about to be built by foreign capitalists in the Ottoman dominions. Harbors are to be improved, rivers made navigable, new roads to be built, and old ones repaired. England is making rapid purchases among the islands of the Pacific'and Indian Oceans for the simple reason that she dare not allow any other great power to gain a foothold anywhere from the northern ooasts of Australia to the Malayan 'Archi pelago. It would endanger her British Empire in India and in Australia. The First Roman Catholic Mission ever, dispatched from England to America sailed ou Saturday last. 1 he party coosits of f»ur priest.*, whose duty it will be to labor exclusively among the colored peo ple of the United States. After the celebration of mass, previous to their departure, Archbishop Manning addressed the missionaries. He said this mission had been established by the Church in England because this country had imposed slavery on America, and it was fitting that Englishmen should be the first to move for the amelioration of the condition ot the newly-emancipated race. A Unitarian Cloud, as yet no bieger than a man’s hand seems rising over Italy This iucipient nim bu> first disclosed itself at a municipal anniversary gathering, held in Empoli near Florence Pro lessor Soatbaro, of the University of Modena, being rfLred the presidency of the meeting, pro claimed to his somewhat miscellaneous audience, the necessity in Italy of a new religious reforuia tion, not a mere copy of the Protestant reforma tion, but according to the principles of Liberal Christianity in a word, free and wise return to our traditions of Socinian rationalism, the glory of our country." Another worker in this new fi :id is Professor Bracehiforti, of Milan, who has tians lated portions of the sermons of Robert Collyer. Dr. Vance Smith, and Rev. ‘J. Martineau. He reports that both the Protestant Consistory ot Milan and the National Government are opposed to the movement, and suggests that the best way to secure a firm footing wnu d be to purchase one of the abandoned ehuiclies, now often let out a storehauses. He therefore calls upon the Arucri can and British Unitarians to come forward with the necessary money. The Rev. Prof. Gibson, of Glasgow, dind on the 21 lust. A few days before hi* death Dr Gibson was suddenly struck down by paralysis, and never recovered from the severity of the blow. His age was 72. He and the Rev. Dr. Begg were the leaders of the movement against the proposed union of the Free and United Presbyterian Church es. When the Free Church College was erected in Glasgow a number of "years ago. Dr. Gibson wa appointed to the Chair of Church History and Systematic Theology, Dr. Charles of Western Moffat, who gave towards it a donation of £3U,00(), .having made this a condition of the grant. A Crumbling Empire.—The latest reports from Austria are such as to occasion anxiety as to any further progress in the direction of c institutional government. It seems donbtful whether she can secure a parliamentary quorum for bu-iness While Germany is consoli lating her strength, Aus tria seems crumbling back toward a chaos of ua tionalities. There are large portions ot her empire that have nothing in common but the same mon arch. In language, political sympathy, social cus toms, they are alienated from one another Eng land has but one Ireland; Austria has at least half a dozen, and the nucleus which ought to serve as a centre ot attraction, is itself a centre of discord. It is scarcely straoge that Russia betrays an undis guised contempt for the present weakness ot her once powerful neighbor.—New York Evangelist The Pilger. commenting on the Pope’s proposed removal from Rome, say-: It would probably be best for the so-called ‘holy father,’ it he mu-t move in his old age, to go right far. for instance to Mecca or to his brother, the Dalai-Lama in Thibet.” Ministers from Germany.—The effort of the New Yolk Mmisieiturn to obtain supplies forks church ts from Germany, seems to have met with hut lit I tie encouragement. In reply to a circular which i was widely distributed in Germany, Harless, in 1 Munich, aod Plitt, in E langen, write that the need of preachers at hnnj is too great to admit of their sending them abroad. Similar replies came from Wurtemburg. A New Course —The Rev. Dr. John Caird. the Church of Scotland’s Professor ot Divinity in the University of Glasgow, has announ ed his inten t ti to deliver a course if lecture' to ladies on r ‘'Tire History of Religions.” This is a new course for a Scotch Divinity Prolessor to take, SPECIAL NOTICE. N villk’s Pitching Machine. The notice o this extraordina>y invention which appeared in ou agricultural column last w ek, is worihy of ver; special attent'on. It is declared by a committee o most competent gentlemen appointed by Col. Hac vie, the President of the Virginia Agricultural So cieiy. to test its merits, that “at an average gate o of a plough team of four-horse power, this machine at each turrow, will gain a depth’ot one and a hal inches, cut the di ch very smoothly, and doing the r'it h ng. when we had it in a sandy soil very per fectly. Tney say it is the best ditching machine they have “ever seen.” One member of the com mitt-e says, “I have seen this machine in a stifl clay soil, with equally good ri su’ti as those men tioned, and am satis-tied i hat it will cut 1,61)0 yards per day, at a depth f three feet.” This marhine is the invention of Mr. G. W. Ne ville, who lives in the immediate vicin'ty of Rich mond It is the re-ult ot years of anxious thought and labor, and the expenditure of all the means iu his hands. Like all contrivances of merit it has en tire simplicity of plan, is capable of operating on any ground where a plough could go, and can be adjusted to making ditches of almost any width or depth that is commonly needed. It is not liable to bi eaking or getting out of order, and can be sold for a sum probably not exceeding $12). We bo| e that it may be a source of profit commensura e with the vas-t benefit which it ptomises to confer upon the country. It is impossible to calculate the value of such a machine in any part of the world, espec ally in a country like ours. SPECIAL NOTICE. The subscriber.
