CHRISTIAN REVIEW.

In presenting the first number of the
second volume of the Christian Review,
the Publishers take occasion to stale, that
they have been gratifed by the success
which has hitherto attended it. 1t has
been received with much favor, and the
subscription list has been extended so far
beyond their expectation, that they have
found it necessarily in order to meet the de-
mand, to reprint the first number, and they
can now furnish complete sets OF the work.
They do not wish 10 be understood, how
ever that the list is as large as 1t ought to
be. Much exertion will be necessary, to
increase the number Of subscribers, in Or
der to render the work permanent.
The commencement Of a new volume
is favorable opportunity to procure new
subscribers; and it is hoped that ministers
and others will take the requisite means
for this purpose. The present volume
will be sent to subscribers, unless notice
of wish to Withdraw their names b.
signifed to the Publishers.

Wal pole for Windsor was passing the
bridge over Cold River, one mile south Of
Bellows Falls, where it empties into Con-
necticut river from the east, the ice at that
time just breaking up, the bridge gave
way, precipitating the stage, horses and
passengers into the stream. The driver
(Mr. Simons) and a gentleman passenger
sitting with him escaped Immediately to
the shore with slight injury. Inside the
stage were four passengers-Mr. Chip

all will be confusion at once. While one

a third sprinkhng, a fourth will look on in
doubt. Whence all this, if the terms in
question have {" fixed and definite meaning
in our language"
From the facts, then, that their present
meaning is so rague and indefinite, taken in
connection with the church history quoted
by the Review, showing that they were
formerly less vague and unmeaning, we, as
before stated, are driven to the opposite con-
cluson from the Review, viz: that the mat

that the cause Of the difficulty and division
be removed--that the exotic be eradicated
