A VESERABLEJ JERSEY CBURCH.-At
the recent meeting Of the A. b, &. Of
Foreign Missions, at Rochester, the
Rev. ID. Taylor, Of the Dutch Reformed
church in the town of Bergen made an
Interesting statement concerning that
church, which is the oldest in New Jer-
sey, and Of which he has been pastor for
fifteen years. From an examination Of
ancient documents which he had recent
! ly made, he ascertuined that for ninety
gears that congregation were not able 10
obtain the preaching ofthe gospel. -
During those ninety years they had SER
vice performed by the clerk, and they
read prayers when they could not obtain
them otherwise. But during all this
person they were making provision for
the gospel for subsequent generations
not expecting to enjoy it themselves
Their copiribuiions--,hough esceedinly
small, some not being able to give even
far'hing-were carefully laid aside as
fund whicl, should eventually procure
Ior their children the blessings Of the
preached gospel. Al length they made
choice Of their candidate and sent him TO
Holland 10 be educated for their Domi-
ME, and in due time he returned and
was settled among them, and from that
time to the present they have never been
without a pastor with the exception Of
three months. Now they gave fifteen
hundred dollars for benevolent objects,
and yet none gives largely, but all give
something from the child to the hoary
head.

WARNING TO MoTHERs. We copy
from the Bangor Wing the following ex-
celIepi suggestions, which we hope will
not be disrcgsrded
"Cold weather is approaching, and the
sitting room fire has already become
necessary in the morning and evening"
IL is time to think about the appropriate
cloihing Cor children and infants Let
the mother see to il, ,ha, her infant is not
exposed to the pains and dangers Of
disease BY following fashions sri by those
whose vanity out,uns their Judgment, or
whose ignorance makes aacrifice Of their
offspring. Let the round plump arms and
delicate breasts Of children be well COW
cred with comfortable clothing. Lei the
little ones who can trot about the house
be clad in woollen garments to shield
them from ibe cold and as a protection
against fire. We have been connected
with the public press, more or less, Tor
nine years, and during that time moi

more or less deaths Of children by their
clothing taking FIRE. What o warning

Col. Richard M. Johnson, is now So
journing in New England. He visited
Providence on Saturday and was receiv-
ed with those tokens Of respect. which
are usually paid to men Of his peculiar

the following brief account Of his visi,
"Col. Johnson rode through the

attended by members Of the committee
appointed to receive him, and followed
Iby some fifteen or twenty persons on
horseback. He stopped in front Of the
City Hotel, where three or four hundred
persons had assembled TO see him, and
was presented TO The people by Gen.
Carpenter, who made speech, recount
ing the services of Col. johnson and
Ibis claims upon his fellow-citize0s.-
The Col. followed, ip longer speech.
in which he expressed his thanks for the
attention which had been paid TO him |;
said that he was the friend Of oil parties,
and wished TO do as little harm and rs
much good ns he could to every body.
The benevolent tones with which tho
allant old Colonel spoke; and the good
natured expression Of his countenance
gave confirmation TO his declarations. -
He then spoke of himself; referred to
his services in Congress in obtaining the
revolutionary pensions, and fought the
battle of the Thames over again. At
the conclusion Of his speech, he was
conducted INTO the City Hotel, where
he received the visits of his friends.
