Churches i'm the United States.

We present to those Of our readers who take
an interest in these matters, the following reli-
gious statistics, exhibiting the date of organiza-
ton and prospects ofthc different denominations
in the United States, taken from the report Of
the Rev. DR.. Baird, delivered before the Evan
g"lical Alliance Society Of England:
The last Sc years according to DR.. B., have
constituted the most prosperous era Of our reli-
gious history. In this PERIOD the last ligamcnt
which united the Church and the State was sun
dered--in Connecticut in 1916, in Massachusetts,
in 1888.
The oldest branch of the Protestant Church
in this country is the Protestant Episcopal It's
history begins in 1907, with the colonizing Of
Virginia.; and it continued to labor unller'very
serious cmbarrassments until after the Rcvolll-
ton. 1t is now in 4 very nourishing condition.
The Congle e5atonal branch of the Church comes
next in order of time, and it is also rapidly aug
mcnting in wealth and numbers. The Baptist

from the intolerance Of the civil governments OF
Massachusetts and Virginia. lin thelast sixty
years the Baptists have increased their Churches
telI-fold, their members more than thisteenIold,
and ministers nine-fold.
The Roman Catholic Church comes next in or
der, with archbishops 80 bishops, l ,073 Chur-
ches, 1851 priests. and population OF l,5Oo,7
900. ...
The Fnshyterians come next. The first min
isers came from Scotland and theN North of Ireland.
\ pleshytery was formed in l7o5, consisting OF
I ministers. !:
In the last so years it has been increased in
its ministers nearly twelve-tod Churches eight
and halt, and nearly nine-fold in its members.
The last, in order of Time, of the larger reli-
gious bodies that have arisen, is the Methodist
Church. 1t was organized in 1884, and in 49,
90 had 10000; members. Its Subsequent in
crease l,as,bcen immense There is reasonto be-
licvc, saws. Dr. Baird that the membership of
this communion has increased more than six
times as fast as the. population of the country
has done since 1884.
In addition to.the' shove large denominations,
there is a:group Of churches ten in number,
which, with few exceptions Use the German

-rrre~ senate has been engagtd af Of ycsterday
md today il discussing ard iass:"g the bill

ii this evening with >undfY.ama andlnents and
wi? W returned 70 the House in t!e morning
for concurrence. The House will soon dispose
Of. and make It one Of the laws cftle iarie.
Yesterday was resolution day. Th" first bnSl-
,ress WIS a resolution m.ertd to print l0ooGo
.eopes of the abstract Of the cssts. iiie'reso-
mton was passed, when Mr.. Orr moved MS re-
consideration. and proceeded to state t.at the
nas,ara of the resolution would Justify the Prin-
tr Of thn House il. coming to that body and
claiming damages, i:!asmpch as it authorized tile
Committee Oh Printing to contract with 0"y ola-
p.. aprscn TO print this abstract, when by the
iorns ofthis contract hewA entitled to do all the
nrnt;na. which the House ordered. The recon
ttilerat0n was further advocated by Mr.. Stephens,
Of Geo, ard opposed by Nessrs. duncan, OF
Mas. Allison, Carter AID Stanton. IN" motion
to reconsider was finally lad uroa the table
q: Durnc the debate It was stated that the present
printer, Hamilton, of Penn. acknowledged his
INABILITY TO comply with the terms OF the con-
~ tract and I have no doubt that the contract
system, which has been wayrcd against by the
printers and publishers here because as 1t now
stands the printing cannot be awarded as re-
enumeration to party presses for partisan services
will fall beneath their combined opposition in
sr.ie Of law and Congress to back it.
Sundrv resolutions were offered but none Of
aav general interest passed.
To-day the House went into Committee ofthe
Whole on the state ct the Union, and proceeded
10 the consideration Of the Mexican lnstalmeEt
bill, but on reading the proceedings You would
never believe that that. bill had been under con-
sideration. for you will learn perhaps with sur.
rrise. that notwithstanding the techn!callties OF
the rules Of the House, when II resolvcsitse.f IN
. 70 Committee Of the Whole onthe state Of the
. Union, the members are in order to speak upon
,very conceivable subject that can be imagined
and this privilege was indulged IN to its fullest
extent by the Ohio Delegation. G;ddngs start
ed it by making some charges against some Of
his colleagues ior voting against the ,AoSsutn
welcome. Taylor defended himselfwith good
deal Of warmth, and there soon commenced a
regular war between TAYLOR, G;ddings Campbell,
and Hunter, concluded by party speech Of Clds,
who CHARGED that the Wings Of Ohio were the
natural and cherished allies Of tic ab5Gtionists
and rGeeoilers. twas the most 7dsgracehl
souabble' T have evcr.witnessci IN the Hall, and
that is saving very much. As aspec!men Of the
decoru.n of the speaker, Taylor concluded one Of
his speeches by saying "that bis colleague from
the Ashtabula District (Giddings) ought to have
been kicked out Of Congress years ago" The
debate tomorrow on the Mexican bill, will be
able and instructive. OBSERVER.

Remember the Poor.

In every community there are some, who, by
a mytcrious Providence, are denied the comforts
Of life While some roll in luxury. and Others
have every thing needfull for the body, have "all
things richly to enjoy" there are Others desti-
tutc ct the good things of this life. All are not
rich; allare not good livers," all have not food
and raiment sufficient to make them comfortable
there ere some indeed, in almost every neighbor-
hood, with gsunt want staring them in the face,
who wouad'gladly lve'upon the crumts, which
| fall from, the rich mans table.
Now, David says; TBlessadiS he, that consid-
ereth the'roor" And Solomon says, AHa that hath
mercy on the poor, happy is he" Many look
upon it as a sore evil, to.be surrounded by the
poor But the fact is, she poor are the favoritss
of heaven and blessings are constantly pronoun7
ced, in the scriptures on those who minister I'd
their wants. 1t is then not 'cnfy aduty''but
precious privilege to give Of our substance, to
clothe tile naked, and to fead the hungry. !
At this season Of the year every one should
look around him, and see that the poor widow
and her fatherless children, and indeed all thosd
who by any Circumstance whatever, have been
deprived of tho bounties cfa EbcraF Providencc,d
not suffer- This is duty never to te neglected,
but it is particularly imperative luSt now, when!

century, are whistling through the cracks Of many

quite IN exciting ~and fearful sccnce on the
Feast river between that city and Brooklyn on
the morning Of that day. The following is from.

We have to record avery rare erent'to day,
The East river this morning was crowded with,
ice from Governors Island to Williamsburg.
The ice esas SO firmly frozen that the steamboats,
could not make their way through it, and per-
SONS who were anxious to cross to New York, to.
attend to business, riskod their lives by walking
on the ice.
About 10000 Or 10000 persons crossed be-.
tween the South and Fulton Ferries. OF these,
upward, Of 200 were female, The ice conlmen
ctd breaking about ten o'clock, and frghtful'
sccncc cnsucd. a large number OF persons were
on sheets of broken ice and were rescued aftergrcat
difficulty. 1t was rumored that some we're lost,t
but we could not ;lscertaia.this to be q fact.
1t was II o'clock before tie adventures were
all rescued from their perilous predcament. 1t.
was rrpJrTrd that several of the soldiers sta.
toned ut Governors Island ayailed themselves
of the bridge 4 brig lying near Fulton Ferry
was struck with the ice when it commenced:
moving, and she sunk almost instantly. No
doubt but other similar accidents occurred.

Bloolner style of dress about which we heard so
much last spring, appear to be numbered. We
never see them any more in Chestnut street, nor
read of them in our country or other exchanges.
The attempt to introduce them into England has
failed sienay. Mrs. Blooner herself, it is ru-
mored. has also abandoned tho costume, and says
that if she had known the ridiculc she was to
endure, she would never have attempted the re-
form. The idea that the dress was immodest
seems to have been more fatal TO the experiment
than any thing else.-PhiLadelphia Bulletin.

HUNTING THE HYENA.-There is some-
thing deiciously cool in the following re-
marks of traveller We confess we had
rather sit ut home and read them, than play
AT first fiddle in the hunt. The scene is laid
in India. Says the traveller, Synd Daoud
described 10 me the mode of tying hyena,
in lis lair, as follows :-'When,' said he,
syou have tracked the beast to his den, you
take rope with two slip-knots upon it in
your right hand, and with your left holding
felt cloak before you, you go boldly, but
quietly, in. The animal does not know what
is the nature of the danger, and therefore re-
tires to the back of bis den but you may al
ways tell where his head is by the glare of
his eyes. You keep moving on gradually
towards him on your knees, and when you
are within distance, throw the cloak over his
head, close with him, and take care that he
does not free himself! The beast is SO
frightened that he covers back, and, though
may bite the felt, he cannot turn his neck
round TO hurt you so you quietly feel for his
two fore legs, slip the knots over them, and
then, with one strong pull, draw them tight
up to the back of his neck, and tie them
there. The beast is now your own, and you
do what you like with him. We generally
take those which we catch home TO the
khail, and hunt them on the plain, with brl-
dies in their mouths, that our dogs may be
taught not 10 fear the brutes when they
meet-them Wild"
What nice stories travellers do tell =
And II would appear as if they related them
until they credited them themselves.
