and \u201cour successful labors the four quarters of the globa bave been benefited.This seminary, which the orphan daughter of poor farmer, with strong faith and indomitable perzeverance established, bas sent out more female missionaries and teachers than any other in the world; and all have, we believe, done honor to their training.It is Mount Holyoke that bas furnished à large sbare of the noble army of migsionary teachers\u2014we might almost call them msrtyre\u2014who have gone to teach the freedmen of the South, in the midst of #corD, insult, and not unfrequently the actual violence of unmanly ruffians, who love slavery aud hate \u201c niggers\u201d and their friends.Nor is thig stream of life proceeding (rom a pure fountain, a thing of the past.Year after year this Somivary fur.nighes a noble band of like-minded young ladies, to go forth to bless this aud other cations with their quiet but most efficient labors and influence ; and the 26) students gathered together this year, are, probably, az promising a band as ever were within its walls.; ; Au inetitution which bag reached this point bus great sdvantagee.It has a nobis and holy history for the foundation of ita fame.Itattracts the best dispcaed young women and those who are most ambitious of usefulness.And itis sustained by the prayers of 8 great number of friends sod graduates scattered throughout the world, acd of tbe parents and friends of its present pupils.It is thus borne up, if we may so speak, on à ses of prayers, he buildings are beautifully situated at one side of the very small but pretty village of South Hadley, which ia on rising ground tbat slopes away on all sides.They are very extensive ; anda library, which is being erected separately, will add to the beauty of the group, as well as to the usefulness of the institution.The pupils are younger than I expected to see, probably Dot averaging Over eighteen or nineteen ; and they are also much more blooming aod cheerful than my preconceived notions of Mount Holyoke led me to expect.There is, however, the most perfect order maintained by the Principal, Miss French, and a atsff of teachers, all of whom are algo younger than I expected.Nor isitdifficalt, I presume, to maintain order among girls, most or all of whom are oat of pious families, and whose previous nurture renders them very much A law onto themselves.The grounds are ornamented with froit and forest trees, borders of flowers, and fine lawns; and, «5 one looks at the whole, still the wonder grows how one pocr weakly woman could get up such a noble institution.The Church of Rome has ite great women who founded convents to shat up in & living tomb the best of their sex; but where can it show in all its annsis one more heroic, more self-sacri- ficing, more talented, or more successful than Miss Lyon,\u2014and that success in a right instead of & wrong direction ?Mount Holyoke Seminary is at a short distance from the picturesque range of mountaine, of which the mountain of that name and Mount Tom are the highest peaks ; and between which peaks the Connecticut river finds ita way through & osrrow gorge.It is n few miles from Amberst College, and from the old city of Northampton, with its numerous institutions and rich bistory, =a city which bas given to Montreal the Lyman family and Professor terry Hunt, The training in Mount Holyoke ia of a high order, requiring rather an advanced education as a condition of admittance ; and it is interuperg- ed with manual labor for a short period of each day, inasmuch as the pupils do the work of the establishment.The terms are $150 per annum, greenback, for hosed, lodging, and tuiton, but not including extras, such as mule, &c.The religious traîniog of the Seminary is beyond praise, and the pupils keep up prayer-meetinge among themeelves, Mount Holyoke gave to Canada Miss Lyman and Mrs.Lay, who bave diffaged widely among us such blessings as above described i aod 5 few years ago it sents colony, if we may to speak, to establish Lake Erie Seminary or Bainsrille, Obio, which is now the Mount Holy.oke of the west, J.D.\u2014\u2014 PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION.(From our Special Correspondent ) Lennon, Our, Sept, 23.The twenty-fourtb annual Exhibition is going 10 be a great success, As yet (being delayed by other duties) I have been only able to ive o part of it o oarsory glance; but what ! bare seen impresses me favorably.I did Bot attend last year's exhibition, and cannot compare the two ; but, as far as I bave heard, Se present 1s greatly abead, more especially in fults, and ia greatly superior to th Mich) State Fair of on Sour.pe 0 te Michigan The exhibition grounds are flnely situated about half 5 wile from the Tecumseh House, up lobmond atreet, They are a little diversified in surface, and slope gradually to à email lake or Pond, which forme the rear boundary of the sounds, and which must be à great comfort to cattle, and sbundsger of clea od beep, where they oan get .in Oryetal Palace is occupled with arts and which I have not hall time yet to inspect.The form of the building makes it difficult 10 show articles to advantage, and will make it as difficult to see them when the building is crowded.Itie well filled with machinery snd manufac.tares, HOBTICULTURAL AND AGRICULTUZAL DPPARTMINT The scene of greatest interest is 1be Hortieul- tural and Agricultural Hall.[tis a long building Hikea batrack,\u2014280 feet long, by 40 broad,\u2014and though it has & very poor &ppearance ourside, it is very convenient inside, baving been erscted for the purpose.It has wide doors at each end, and also at both sides.At the middle,on one side, broad platform extends half the way for the exhibition of agricultural products, and is well filled with magnificent T0018, cheese, butter, &c.; the other half is divided into small stalls for different kinds of graiz, of which there is & good show, Along the opposite side there stretches a stand, sloping slightly down from the wall the whole length of the building, which shows the vegetable and other horticultural products, with which it is filled, to great advantage.Along the whole length of the middle of the building extends the stand fcr fruits and flowers, \u2014merely broken in ths centre, opposite the entrauce doors, for a passage through, Te stand has a broad shelf on each side for the exbidition of fruit and cut Rowers, while the centre part, rising by steps, is couvenient for showing green-bouso plants, with which it is pretty well filled ; though, owing to the lateness of the sesson, they aro not in very good condition.In this respect, the show dacs uot at all compare with the Montreal Horticultural Exbiti- tions that I have attended ; but fine plants cac- not be brought by rail from a distance satisfactorily, while thoce in Montrea! are principally grown in the city.Tue show of cut-flsrers is also in general poor, with the excaption cf 8 magn fi sent display of Dabliaz by Gecrge Lesslie & So, Toronto, which are early if not fully equal to those usually exhibited at Montreal by Mr.Paxton, of Quebec.There are ali0 some good double Ziuniss, &o.The display of fruit, however, is magnificent.Iam told it is far a head of lsat year's.Tosbow it to advantage, double tha space would be required that it now occupies, and thoge who way be in charge of this dep.rtment at next exhibition, must ses to it that more space is allowed, and better facilities granted, for the proper dia- play.At precent, the greater part of the fruit is buddlei up, without plates or room to keep them distinct.The Society bas about a tenth of the plates necessarily required in an exhibition of this kind, and these are, in general, too large; so that twa or more varieties have to be put on the plate.À very large number of smaller sized plates to any of those now supplied, should be provided for next show, \u2014 just large enough for holding three specimens of a variety which the exhibitor ia, in general, by the rules, restricted to.The $50 prize for the best collection of fruits, contributed by any one pcraon, or any number of persons clubbing together, or of any gociety in which all the members jon te make a great display, has drawn tsgether à wagoificent collection of fruits, coasistiag of Dears, apples, grapes, peacles, &o.! eatnot say I admire this mode of giving a prize.It does away with all individual emulation; ag, where a horticultural society makes a collection from all its member, and afterwards shows thom ag one collection, it is impossible for the public to tell who grew the best.If it is followed another year, mors than double the space allotted to fruit this year will require to be farnisbed.The priz:s hava not yet been awarded.In my next I will particularize the best collections, and localities where the finest fruit comes from.POULTRY, Near the main entrance ia the shed for the poultry, erected slong the inside of the fence surrounding the grounds.Itis Very convenient, and shows them to good advantage, and is well filled with magnificent poultry of all the improved breeds, The colouced Dorkings, black Spanish, and some other sorts, are fively represented.Cou.spicuous amongst the exhibitors are Mr, Lamb and Messrs, Peters of Londen ; but there are other exhibitors of very fine fowls besides these.The Rouen and Aylesbury Ducks and the Geese were also very fine.The Pigeons exbibited were not very good; but I may beable to revert to this department moze at large ia my next.CATTLE-\u2014DURE Aus, la Darbatns there is not so large 8 number cn exhibition as I expected, though there are many fine specimens; but owing tos great carelezonesy in Exbibitors, there is no way to ascertain who, in general, aro the owners of them, this however may be rect.fisd to-day.< HEREFORD], There are à few very fine Herefords exhibited, but this breed dces mot appear to be raised to «ny great extent, DBYOus, The number of Devons 16 larger, and some very flue ones are on the ground, which I will particularise in my next, ATSSHIRES.The Agrebires are tbe poorest lot of this with the exception of & breed I bave ever seen, very Bue bull belonglag to & Mr.Paton, (I could not ascertain bis residence, as in general the young farmers In charge of cattle are too lazy or sullen to azawer questions).All the rest, with, perhaps, one or two exceptions, a pear to bave been bred in and in until their size and proportions are #0 reduced that few would wish to procure them.The Oatario breeders of this class must get Logan, of Montres), used to exhibit at Montreal exhibitions, if they want to make Ayrabires popular, GALLOWATE, This breed appears to be more and more sp- preciated avery year in Ontario.The number of aaimals on exbibition is large and vary fine frend, have long thought that this breed Is better P- nounces the appointment, 8 larger breed, such as Mr.fy any other,\u2014more especially for Lower Canada;

Sis,\u2014ln your issue of the 6th of Aun.gust some remarks appear in reference to the land agency of the Muskoka digtrict, that ought not to be allowed to pass Yuvoticed, as they place Mr, Lount in a false Position.If the public generally were consulted, end their views expressed a8 10 which of the two claimants for the office in question is the moat competent to discharge its important dutier, it would be found that an overwhelming majority would declare in favor of the present incumbent.It in said (bat he \u201cneglects hia office\u201d To prove this assertion to be utterly destitute of trath, it peed only be stated that he has been known to be bard a1 work until midnight, and to ba at it ug early as four o'clock in the morning.That the agent bag some interest in the district will be essily seen, when it is known that be has purchased property bere, and bas made & fine improvement on it, The active and efficient agent is doing & good work for the country, We invariably find him kind, courteous and communicative.Wu.Warren te highly appreciated, the number and quality Monck, Sept, 31, 1869, \u2014_\u2014 THE NEW MINISTER OF FINANCE.(To the Editor of the Witness ) Sia,\u2014There are in the world, in addition to those whose guilt has been clearly established, a large number of men about whose bonor there is a doubt ; and many women whose virtue, to say the least of it, is not above suspicion.So many and cozflcting are the statements made coacern- ing these unfortunate persons that one ig na bewildered as Pilate was about truth in tbe ab stract, and one longs to know what the truth fs in cach particular case, There, is for instance, Sir Francis Hincks, the new Minieter of Finance.He ig cither morally 20 unfit for bis important ofic:, that bis appointment ls an iosalt to the country ; cr be is the victim of slander.Ever since it hasbeen ru mored that there was a Probability of bis being Appointed to succeed Mr.Rose, one has heard almost universal condemnation of Sir F, Hincke\u2019 career fn Canada some years ago.Will some one let us know the fruth about Lim?His te utation cannot be worse than (t is at present, ie friends mar improve it very much.They will bave, however, to give ug batter ressons for esteeming the new minister, than the Daily News gave us this Morning.That journal sin tains thet Bir F, Hincks must be bigbly respectable because public dinners bave been given to him!

and that many such young men were receiving good salaries for this duty.We do not see clearly how either of the above suggestions could be carried ont ina formal way in any bot the very largest eatablishments; but they will give Liate to all employers as to their duty to those whom they employ, and even afford suggestions aa to their pecuniary icterest in the moral and physical well-being of thoee in their service.Every bead of a business or institution should be Limself a student of the laws of health, snd should consider is in every movement.If he lacks the time or the necessary information, he will fond it pay to bire it in rome way.In tte same way, if # man does rot find himrelf able to exert a proper moral oversight over bis young men, either throngh press of business, or inaptitade for the duty, be should see that they are not lacking in that restraict which the com- paoy of active Christian companicns will exert over thers.There is & bint bere also for Cbris- tian youths.Ife young man, hired for the purpose, is able to do so much gocd, as to make hia services profitable, even in a worldly point of view,\u2014how much more might be done by the unpaid and volaniary xeal of s companion, working only for Obrist's sske ! POSTAL TELEGRAPH.The purchase of the Eoglish telegraph lines by the British Government is likely to be followed, before long, by à similar action on the part of te American Government, with regard tothe telegrapbie communication cf the States.Itis quite possible that s proposition to that effact may come from the companies themselves, dut, doubtlets, coupled with & demand fer an outrageous price.A postal telegraph reform seems at band, snd it should be such as, while giving the greateat facility to the commercial world, will also furnish tke fullest scope to the enterprise, liberality, and talent of journalism.It is argued, very properly, by our neighbors, that, whilst no wrong shall be done to individual ioterests, the compensation given to companies ought tobe & moderate one.Telegraphing does not require a very expensive machinery, but the manner and extent of the watering of this kind of stock is both curious and considerable.The following is one American illustra tion, as given in one of our exchanges :\u2014 \u201c A, gets up & subecription to build à telegraph line, the cost of which is $100,000.He geta $300,000 subscribed; $200,000 goes into bis pocket and $100,000 is expended.He bas made $200,000 by the operation ; but not satisfied with this result, he issues $400,000 of the stock to himself, and (ben owns and controls the in- stitation to all practical purposes.This illustration will serve to explain bow certain men have so easily and so soon become millionaires without bardly investing one cent.Another famous operation was not exactly in the style shown above, The operators bought up the original Western Union Stock at n few cents on tbe dollar, just before the company be- fa to pay dividende, and before the stock was ncreased from $380,000 up to millions, For seven years the original stockholders got no dividends or interest, and the stockholders, from all information they could get of the company, presumed they would never receive & cent.During this time the shrewd operator cent bis agents through the country and quietly purchased the stock, much of it at a less per cent, itis said, than there was money to vide at the time in the treasury.This is a case well known inside of the telegraph circles.Again, the line from Omaha to Salt Lake was built by tbe directors of the Western Union Oom- pany under the title of the Pacific Telegraph Oompany, and afterward stocked into the Western Union at more than ten times its cost, and that when the Western Union stock was telliog at over two bundred dollars per share.The receipts of the Pacifo line for tbe first year more than paid its cost of construction, Yet the Western Union Company obtained from Congress apubildy of $40,000 pet year towards its maintenance.\u201d This question of the widest utilization of the telegraph is à most important one, coming home not only to business mer, but to every one who usen the post-office, and the aim sould be to waken t-legiam, 11 peas bio, ag cheap sz a letter.THE MONTREAL WITNESS.INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF ARTS AND INDUSTRY.To aa Heuo 1x Loxpox (RsaLaxp) 1x 1871, An announcement appesra ln the Cunade Guustte, from Earl Granville, the British Colonial Secretary, directed to His Excellency the Gover nor-General, and stating tbat the frat of a ger- res of International Exbibitions of selected specimens of Art and Industry will be held in London, during the month of May, 1871 ; and requesting His Excellency to take such measures as muy be necessary for giving publicity to this announcemert within this colony.There will, it appears, be a difference between these exhibitions, and those that have alresdy been held in London, Dublin, Paris, and elsewhere.First, they will be on a comparatively limited scale ; snd, second, the objects sent from each colony will not be arranged together as beretofore, but in their proper classes ; and it is desired that mauufacturers abould exhibit only a single specimen of each object.Also, the following regulations must be observed, Every object which can be exhibited ons vertical surface, or wall space, will be accepted, \u2014if accompanied by a certificate from the government of the colony where it was produced, tbat such of jsot is considered worthy of exhibition.Every producer desiring to exhibit au object which will require for its exhibition superficial or fluor space, must forward to Her Majesty's Commissioners a working drawing or photograph of such ctject, with dimensions and particulars, on receipt of which the Commissioners will, if the otject Le considered worthy of exbibition, transmit to the producer a certificste of the sc- ceptance of such otject, thereby guaranteeing its admission.Or, any producer may, at bis option, send any otject direct to the Exbibition building, for the inapeotion and approval of the judges selected for the other British exhibitors, and under the same regulations as shall be prescribed with reference to other British goods, 80 submitted for inspection.Tan Sts Caman.\u2014According to a report made by M.De Lessepa to the Isthmus of Sues Cacal Company, the preparatory examinations for the great work were begun in 1855.After four years, the Viceroy of Egypt made him the firat concession.The Company was formed at the end of 1858, and in a few months afterwards operations began at Port Said ; so that the union of the waters of the Mediterranean with those of the Red Ses have been made in ten years.Ia reality those waters were united a year ago, and tke formal snd pompous ceremonial opening of the Oanal iu November next, will be but the symbol or expression of success achieved for the undertaking.: During tbe years 1867-8, many thousand tons of ehipping passed through the Canal, and during tbe present year the traffic has increased considerably.Forty thousand passengers have also passed through ; and, what ia a rather curious circumstance, a considerable portion of the Mo- bammedsn pilgrizage to Mecca, has been diverted, 90 a8 to take advantage of this route.This multitude of devotees has, hitherto, passed through Cairo to the Red Sea; but, the present year, four thousand pilgrims landed at Port Said for direct transportation across the Isthmus, A small, but regular and increasing, trade has sprung up betwesn India, French Biam, and the Mediterranean, by way of the Canal, and many of the vessels used are stoamers.It is estimated that the rige in tbe value of lands possessed by the company will reimburse it, not only for its outlay in constructions along the line, but for the cost of the Oaual itself.The social state of the Isthmus Las become wonderfully changed.Its population ten years ago consisted of but one hundred and fifty souls.and of these twenty-five were Europeans.It is now between 40,000 and 50,000, and one half of these are Europeans, so that, along with numbers, it may be presumed that there is also a considerable amount of enterprise in the present population, Oaurznzi\u2014After the loss of many lives an order has been issued from the Horse Guards, providing that soldiers, in barracks, shall no longer be kept provided with ball-cartridge.A long list of occasional casualties bas thus accomplished what mere common sense bad failed to do ;

so that the car meets anotber upright before the momentum given by the first is exhausted.Four steam- engines fzed underneatn the sidewalk will be necessary as motive power when the railway is completed, which, it is hoped, will be the case by the beginning of November, snd the road will then extend from the Battery to Thirtieth street.Depots for the convenience of passengers will be erected in convenient places, not more kan the eighth of a mile apart.The ample satisfaction given by the experimental trips to all who passed over the route, induces the hope that tbe enterprise will prove a complete success Farues Evacmran \u2014The Minerve bas an mi- portaut despatch on the retirement of Father Hyacinthe, the famous preacher of Notre Dame, from the pale of the Roman Catholic Church.The despatch is as follows: = Pans, Bept.23, 1869.\u2014The papers of thia city publish & letter from Father Hyacinthe, addressed to the General of hia order at Kome, wherein be ansounces his retirersect from the convent, and that ks will no jonger preach in the church of Notre Dame at Paris.His reason for this decisive step is that he cannot obey the orders of the Holy Se.He protestaagaiust the Pope and the Qouncil, and against the practices of the Church of Rome, a8 not being in accordance with the principles of Obriatianity.The French papers regard the letter of Father Hyacinthe as à great political and religious event.\u201d \"The Minerve, in tho forepact of its comments on the above, expresses it disbelief a3 yot ia the story ; but, in a postscript, it states that this morning's telegrams, although not very expli- oit, excite considerable apprehensions in regard to Father Hyacinthe's conduct.= The Toronto Globe argues very energetically sgainst the improvements in the channel between Quebec and Montreal, and in Montreal harbor, being purely of à local character, being charged to the Dominion Government, and goes on to show what claims might be advanced by Halifax, Quebec, and Toronto in the same manner, «= The numerous defalcations of bank tellers and ocssbiers in the Sates must of necessity throw great distrust on the security of bank stock investments, These acts of fraud are not restricted to small amounts, but generally cover thoussnds of dollars, and in several instances over $100,000.Io nearly every instance these acts of dishonesty are cansed by the speculative propensities of bank clerks.Yet it is inspos- sible that men can be blind to the fact that a clerk on a few thousand dollars\u2019 salary, cannot afford to eater into heavy speculations.Death uaD2 Taimvrany 70 vam Goorr or Gob.Bermon by Principsl Willis, L.L.D, on occasion of the death of the Rev.Dr.Barns.Adam, Stevenson & Oo., Toronto.We bare much pleasure in recommending this able and Interesting disconres to our readers.For its own merit it is wortby an extensive circulation, but, &s à filting tribute to the memory of one so widely known and so bigbly revered amongst all denominations of professing Chrls- tians in Oanada as the late Dr.Burns, {t surely cannot fail to be in great demand.From the two excellent discourses preached on the occasion, the one by Rev.J.M.King, M.A., snd the other by tbe Rer.Principal, & very good idea may be obtained of the life, character and work OBUROH RECOGNITION SERVIOES.In the spring of 1863 the First Baptist cburch of this city, organised » mission eort and Sun- day-school, called the \u201c East Mission,\u201d which, for a long period was beld in tbe German churcb, St Dominique street, At the orgsnization, the attendance at the school was 25; it has now in- increased to 350.Theroom becoming too small, ¢ Russell Hall\u201d was erected for this special work, and just one jear ago, they removed to tant commodious aod beautiful building, where the mission «fort and Sunday-school bave increased beyond the most sanguine expectalion.About a month ago 11 members of the First Baptist church, asked for, and received their letters of diemission, for the purpose of organising a church of tbe same faith and order in that locality, which was carried into effect on the 11th Sept, The Rev.Robert Cade hes labored in connection with this mission for 3 months with great acceptance to all.He bas accepted the pastorate of this young church; and was or- dsined on Thursday afternoon by a council of Baptist ministers.In the evening, st s large and interesting meeting, the church was recognised oa a regular Baptist church, and the pastor was installed, On this occasion, the Rev.Joho Goadby D.D.of Vermont, presided, and the proceedings opened with the einging of the bymn, All hail the power of Jesus\u2019 name.\u201d Rev.T.Gales then read the 2nd chapter of Paul's Epistle to tte Epkesians, and followed with prayer.Anotber hymn havieg bein sung, Mr.W.8.Porteous, ckurch clerk, rend a statement of the organization, dootriusl belief, and covenant entered into, in connection with the formation of the present church.In 1862 a annday-schoo! had been started in that neighborhood by members of the First Baptist church, and in 1868 Russell Hell, iu which they were now assembled, was built.Eventually the Rev.Robert Cade came and labored with good results, and a resolution was psased that a church should be formed in connection with Russell Hall.They at length considered that the time for 80 doing bad arrived, and, to that end, eleven members of the Beaver Hall Baptist church asked for their digmission, and, having obtained it, tbey formally and solemnly covenanted together, and promised to perform all the reciprocal duties, towards each other and the world, necessary for the successful founding, and building up, of a Christian church, The President then arose and ssid they had been called together for the purpose of recog- bizing this pew church.They bed just beard the stalement by Brother Porteous, and be, tke President, now aeked,\u2014Would they recognize them 8a a Baptist church, established according to the order of Scripture ?Rev.T.L, Davidson, D.D., stepped forward, and moved that they be so recognized, The motion was seconded, and passed unanimously ; after which Mr.Davidson offered up prayer appropriate to the recogoition which had juat been solexanly made, concluding with a supplication for tho increase and prosperity of this infant ehurch, and the temporal and spiritual welfare of ite minister.Rev.W.Stewart, B.A., now delivered an address on * Baptist Church Polity.\u201d In so doing, Le observed that he did nat wish to say anything in the spirit of controversy, but, instead, to lay boiore them » few simplo thoughts relating to the mature and constitution of a Obristian church, The speaker then showed, in answer to the question, * What is a Church 7\u201d that, in scripture, tbe word, \u2018Church\u2019 was sometimes used of the whole company of God's Tedeemed children in all agea and nations.It was aleo frequently used in reference to some particular assemblage, as on tbe day of Pentecost, when it waa said that 3,000 souls were added to the Church, Ha then pointed vut what was required of members cf the Oburch in those early days, and bow persecution, mcatterin, them, caused the founding of other independent churches in distant Gentile cities.In the New Testament no church was ever referred to as being the church of & country, but as the church of some place.It was à local company of baptised persons meeting in some city.A second question Was, \u2014\" Who are the officers of a New Testament church?\u201d Thess were the elders, bishops, and deacons, the first two being in reality the same, whilst the deacons were the servants of the church, as the name implied, providing especially for the due conducting of its outward ordinances.In fine, a church was an administrative body, not a legislative one, and its laws were to be found written in the Word of God.Now, all the members abould be workers in the church, helping each other, as did the members of the natural body.If the church would be prosperous it must also be loving, and if offences came, they should be settled within the church, according to scripture practice.À beautiful quartette was tbon tastefully sung by the choir, and The Rev.Robert Oade, the pastor of the church, delivered @ brief address.He remarked that, in his call, be could mot but tecognize the hand of God, and bence be felt bat he bad sirong reason for encouragement.He was sure he had fallen among friendly hands and loving hearts, who would do their best to assist bim, He was conscious of needing a much closer walk with God in and in the general cultivation of religious iog, and in striving with greater faitbfuloess to preach to, and to visit, bis flock,=in & word, by study, ng, and other labors, to do his beat bad been shown to him that sfterooor, and hoped that, bereafter, it might be said of bim, In bad mot lieu fu vain.gored v.À.Gillies now offered up the er of Inatallation, and wes followed NJ prayer o Rov.D, McPhail, who delivered the charge to the pastor.Io proceeding to do 50 be observed that the latter was co novice In this work, He then laid down & few rules for bis guidance, such as, in bis preaching of the gospel, to of un refer 10 the facts of the gcapel, for they lay at he foundation of the whole syatem cf divine : of 1h deceazed veteran.Both are to be had of i the Messrs.Dawaon and Mr.Grafion.truth.He stould bring ont clearly the t leading doctricer of that goepel, such ay a SEPTEMBER 29, 1869.Tun Nsw Misserans.\u2014Tho awkward position THE ST.CATHERINE STREET BAPTIST | vine attributes ;

The duettund chorus, There do you Journey wy Brother was sung with cifect i after which the # by the cher Rev.J.Alexander gave the charge to the church.He said it Was with mingled feel iugs of satisfaction and seduess that be addressed them.He felt, he said, like à father\u2014 some of whote boys and girla were goicg to leave home.They had to-day and this evening, been packing up, so to speak, and be now felt very sad.And yet, amidst all thie sadness, be felt glad, for the wish of his beart was accomplished this evening.They knew that every step taken had besn with bis approval, and be owed them a debt of gratitude for the filial feeling which they had slways shown towards bim.They would al- wars be glad to see them over at the oid house, aad to set before them their best fare.He would remind them that they owed three duties, severally, to God, to each other, aud to their pastor, and, by always making God their judge and couneellor, there would arise amongat them but few of those difficulties which sometimes disturb the Church.After dwelling somewhat on these three several duties, he reiterated that, this movement bad bad bis cordial sympathy, and they would still bave bis prayers and assis.ance.Their prosperity would bring joy to bia soul, and might the richest blessings rest upon their pastor and upon themselves!

the decline of 23 per cent.in Central and a subjequent rally of 15 per cent.wes made within fifteen minutes, and the whole proceeding had the appearance of a * scoop\u201d to make weak holders sell their stocks previous to making sn upwsrd movement after the consolidation is made, The president aud directors of the road left for Albany this morning, but noibing was koown as to their movements, After selling at 191, the stock declined to 1864, sold at 195 to 185, and closed at 185], to 1853, The traneactions were enormous, fully ope-balf of the capital stock having changed hands to-day.The remainder of the market was paraljsad for a short time by the decline.The day bas been ane of the most excited ever known in the bistory of tbe Stock Exchange.The advance of 3 per cent.In gold was made within balf an bour, agd New York Central fluotusted 39 per cent.within the same length of time.After the close of bank hours money was stringent, and § per cent, was bid to carry stocks until to-morrow.The heavy demand from the Gold Room to borrow money has been the principle cause of the increased demand.Surliog Exchange was demoralised by tbe advance in Gold, Prime, 60-day bills were offered at 107, and sight bills at 1077, bat business was entirely checked, and there were no bids for bills, = The petroleum ofl trade of Canada is look.log up, and the prospects of the owners of Canadian oil-weils sre brightening.The improvements made in refining and deodorizing the oil of Ontario bave gi.en ft a muob higher value and created foreign demand for it, the consequence of which must be an immense addition to tte profite of oilewell propretors.\u2014Orillia Ex.j WEOLESALE GROOERY MARKET.Monrzsau, Friday, 24 Sept, 1869, We aro being favored with most beautifa! weather, giving the fiaest opportunity of securing outstanding crops.!

AXD 81ZR.What is the idea of a pulpit, ta casence a istioguisbed from its accidents\u2014ite soul, so tbe object for which it exists?Some epeukers use pulpits ms musicians use a bas dium, to pound upon for emphasie\u2019 sake, or, as the Scotch folks say, to ding.A Methodist brother in Northern New York, a few years ago found the massive structure which he used convenient for illue- trating his subject, which was ¢ faith,\u201d Drawing himself up to bis full height, and looking bis congregation in the eye, be said, # Now you see me.\u2019 Then dropping audden- ly out of sight, his voice rang out from the mysterious region of &pittoons, old notices, and collection-plates, * Now you don't pee me, but you know I'm here.\u201d \"But the central idea of a pulpit is not to pound it, or to hide behind it.The concealment of the speaker has nothing to do with the proper use ofthe pulpit.4.There is one ure of the pulpit, which is constant and invariable.It ie to support the Bible and the manuecript of the speaker, if be has any.To this use all churches pat their pulpite.Co I know of only one exception in this statement, which is the \u2018Tabernacle\u2019 of Spur geon in London, When I heard thie great preacher two years 830, he stood behind no pulpit or desk, but on a simple platform on a level with the lower of the two enormous galleries which extend entirely round this awazing house of worship.There was nothing before him but a slight railing, on which he frequently pot his band, for he was lame.But this exception only proves tlie rule.Everywhere the pulpit supports the Bible.That is ita legitimate use.A Bible of moderate size is better than a gigantic volume, Another question is: How much timber ought to be used in the construction of à pulpit, supposing the Bible not to weigh more ti an twenty-five pourds ?And I think the irrefutable answer to the question is this : Enough timber should be used to support the Bible and nomore.A op sixteen by twenty-four inches is ample.It should be inclined at the right angle, and capable of being raised by a screw to suit the stature of the speaker, Between the top and the platform the less bulk thers is the better consistent witL Grmness.There should be a table near the chair for the bymu-book and other things, , This is a long remove from the old-fash- ioned structures, with sounding-boards, built oa the tops of tall pillars, which multitudes can s:ill remember, But it is the goal of architectural reason and good sense Boon may the rational pulpit eupersede the vast asses, heaps, fancies, and wild combinations of GotLic points end pinnacles, behind which the preacher is seen going to and fro, All these ave simply absurd, and would eeem so if they were anywhere else except in the sacred precincts of churches.There is à church in Hartford, whose mas.tive Polpit is built through the wall, It has been well called a fortification.is perfectly secure.No person from the audience could
