REV. MR.. WESCOTTS RESIGNATION
CHURCH STATISTICS.

The Rev. ISAAC WEscoTT, Pastor of the Laight-st.
Baptist Church. in late Discourse before his parish
toner's, took occasion to review the history of the
church during his pastorship, which embraces the
past four years. He took as his text:
But the word of God grew and multpliear-Acts x 81
AS a weary traveller often pauses and looks back
the pathway he has trodden that he may gain
fI sh vigor and strength to support him in his failure
labOrs, so IT 10 well for churches TO pause and look
back upon the dealings of God with them, and see
whether they have accomplished the work of their
hands to the satisfaction of their own souls and the
approval of Jehovah. l ask your attention to the
history of this church for the last four years There
are four things which constitute the prosperity of
church, viz:
l. prosperous state of finances.
III. large and increasing congregation.
H. Frequent additions of new converts to ts com.
munon.
". Unity of action in its councils.
The question has been often asked, Can a self
Sustaining church be continued in the lower part of
:" the Cityl'
If can show the affirmative of this question it
must be encouraging to those who look upon 1t with
misgivings and doubts.
Tie only true mode of testing the prosperity of a

Collections If a church raise $500 or 81 200 on
some particular occasion, AID for some special object
ii is no test of its property-he only reliable test u.s.
as said before the receipts from pew rents and Sab
bath collections.
Let us contrast the present state of the finances OF
this church with the past and get the following sta
tstcs which are from the books Of the Treasurer and
must be considered reliable:

Our Treasurer is now able to pay all current ex-

MATERIAL FOR MAKING PAreR. -Tbs
Golden Age brought us from New YorL 4
specimen piece of paper manufactured out Of
the basswood The piece is thick, Whit
with a slight yellow tinge, and strong, and
bears writing on with pen very well The
impression made on it with printing typesb
as clear as the impressions on the best En-
glish newspaper sheets. 1t is calculated that
this kind OF paper can be made for oa cent
per pound. At present, the price at New
York for ordinary papers for journals may be
from ten to twelve cents per pounds. That.
however, is nearly double the average price
in ordinary years. If the new Eastwood paper
can be produced at the small price alleged
the good tlme' which all newspaper folk have
been lmpaien,ly looking for, will surely soon
come. But we must wait a little longer -

4 Wagon Rond from Humboldt Bay 10
WeHverviiIe

A recent number Of The Humboldt Xlaes
in speaking Of the practicabllity Of construct
ing wngon road from Humboldt Bay to
this place, aud Of the advantage that would
result to Trinity county thcreirom, says:
"All concur in saying that il is practicable

been talked Of and over for three years

but will allude 10 one. At this time freight
is brougl, from San Francisco to this Bay ia
sail vessels in from two TO four days at from
fro 10 three dollars per ton-never more
and in steamers at tDeiue dollars; if the road
was open, wagons would haul-judgng from
prices paid in The middle miDes--at two to
three cents per pound, probably less. AT
the DIqrimum, the cost per ton from San
Francisco to Weaver would not exceed ,iriy
io seventy dollars On the other hand, II
we are correctly informed, the freight from
San Francisco to Red Bluff is thirty fUc dol
lars per ton, aud thence on mules 10 Weaver
tho charge Is from eight TO ten cents per
pound, making the minimum cost per ton
from san Francisco TO Weaver, one hundred
ninety .Gur doiins."
That wagon road from Union to this
place woul be great advantage to both
places and their respective. counties, admits Of
no question. That il would also prove
profitable investment for capital, we have but
little doubt. We fear, however, that il would
be- impossible 10 raise within the two coun-
iios the funds necessary to complete such a
work II would cost, at least. $780, 900 to
construct road over which freight could be
transported To advantage, and the citizens Of
these counties arc not able 10 contribute the
amount requisite for such purpose, howey-
cr much they might desire its accomplish
inent.
Although we are extremely desirous to see
this matter taken in hand and should consid-
or its completion IN event Of the greatest
importance to the prosperity of our county;
still we think that moro than one year will
,lapso before road will be built connecting
these two points. In process Of time, as this
rrcton Of the country becomes more denscy
populated aud the price Of labor becomes re;
duced, we have no doubt that we shall Sc,
our wishes in this respect realized. But, fOi
