any Presbvtery within it's bounds, or undsS
the care Of the General Asscmbly.-By rea'
son of this declaration, the Synod Oh the I,,
ult. declared their congregations vacant. h
seems, that the above ministers "disown
and oppose the Confession of Faith, and form
of government of the Presbyterian Church
in the U. States."-they are fearful, that ths
use of creeds and confessions in the churrh
may tend to begct a substitution, in soms
measure, of the creeds and confessions On
used, in the room of Gods word, which thev
regard as the only rule of faith and prac.

FIRE On last evening fire broke OF.
in the "Sl,go Iron TYorks," located on the
bank of the Monongahela river, opposite
this CITY, which we exceedingly. regret to
mention, soon eventuated in its entire de-
struction. This establishment was owned by
MeSsrs. Stewart * Lyon, erected during the
past summer and had been in operation but
a short time. We have heard no estimate
of the loss sustained, but presume it must be
considerable. -PHs6urg Rec.

are between 40 and so little Indians at
school-Some classes read in the New Tes-

spell and read in the spelling book, &c. down

1t is difficult for them to pronounce our
language; yet never saw in any school i set
