Death in the Ministry,

We copy the following from the Broon Vile A
MORGAN. The ten deaths recorded below have
all taken place since the meeting of the last
General Conference in this State. Mr.. BAL
L1NGAL1 was the only one amongst the deceased in
dlvduals with whom we were personally acquaint
ed. Compelled on account of Ill health to desist
from Preaching, he was invited to take charge Of
the Seminary at this place. He taught a fow

TO relinquish his School. Ca leaving this place. il
was his intention to visit of tho West India
Islands for the benefit of his health. This purpose
victim of Consumption, and whilst amongst rs it
was evident TO all that, even young he was, his
days would be few Garth He was an humble,
jealous and liberal minded Christian, and gra
duate of the Indiana Asbury Institution.
The American, in speaking Of the deaths in
the Ministry, says
"a friend writes TO US that tho Rev. Burroughs
Wostlake. Presiding Elder of tho Peru District,
Indiana Conference. and the Rev. Mr.. Buckng
ham, of the Logansport Station, died few days
since. with the ErysipcIas or Black Tongue. The
same letter brings the painful rumor that the
Rev. Richard Hargrave died few days since in
fit of Apopiexy New,own Circuit, Indiana.
But from other circumstances Ii is hoped this
rumor is not ,ruo.
Fatal, indeed. has bean the work of death in
tho Methodist Ministry in Indiana within few
months. The deaths Of the following faithful
messengers of the Cross have been recorded. to-
wit,--Clippenger. Patrick, Guthrie, Elder, Crouch

plan band of students attached to the institution,
who mako it a point to disturb the Faculty almost

Faculty openly denounced the proceeding, which
caused their houses to be mobbod.
Tho College windows and doors were also
broken opon, and on Friday night last an attempt
was mado to blow up the old trees around tho

Most of the students have left; tho Faculty, it is
understood, will resign; and for tho present tho

New INVENTION IN PRTsTING.-The Vincennes
Gazette states that Mr.. Josiah Warren, Of Now
HARMONY Ind, has made Improvement in tho
art of stercotvping, which if it DO made known.
will be of incalcuable benefit to printers as we'll
as others. The improvement puts in it the power
ofevery printer TO stereoyp whatevcr he chooses
in an almost incredibly short space Of time, at
little or expense and with the utmost precision
and accuracy. The composition Of which the
plate is made is nearly as hard as iron, which it
resembles good DEAL and can BIO melted on a
common fire as easy as lead. The editor OF tho
Gazette has seen the pla.es cast after this new
principle, and has not doub. that 1t VIII entirely
Isupersede the old method Of stereotyping.
