Progress Of Protcstaatism-From a report in
the Archives du Christianisme, we learn that
the last annual Synod Of the Waldcnses took
place in May, and that on this occasion very
favorable account was given Of the progress
ing eyangelization of Italy. Notwithstanding
all that has been said on the reluctance of the
Italians to receive the gospel from the hands
OF the Waldenses, this church receives constant
applications for spiritual aid from all parts Of
Italy. OF the other free evangelical churches
Of Europe, only the Free Church Of Scotland
was represented, and the Synod resolved to
invite also the other bodies to send their rep
rcsentatiycs next year. More recently large
church ediice Of the Waldenses was conse-
Grated at Genoa, amidst a great concourse of
people. On the part Of the Catholics the
greatest efforts have been made to hinder the
erection Of the church and when these efforts
proved ifuitess, the Catholics Of Genoa APP
peared on the day Of the conservation with n
black margin. In Tuscany, the persecution
has for moment ccascd converts are still
numerous, and, according to the last account,
they could meet even in Florence undisturb.
ed by the police Even in Rome itself, Prot.
estantism continues its operations and an oGi-
Ger Of the Papal Government Escolani, has
been arrested, for being II colp0rier of the
translation Of the Bible of Diodah which is
vigorously forbidden by Rome.

hight. Mr.. Broderick was not invited, and
Senator Hammond and others absented them
selves.

THE EXECUTIVE Council has justreturned
from visit of inspection to the Asylum for the
Deaf and Dumb, at Hartford, CT. The condi-
ton and management Of the institution, as af
fecting the welfare of the seventy-eight pupils
from Massachusetts, was found to be very sat
isfactory indeed. The pre-eminent advantages
afforded by the institution at Hartford, inclu-
ding the buildings and the income of the fund
of $4,000 granted by the United States gov
ernment, together with the superior exceIlency
of its management, are believed by the Council
to supercede the necessity of a similar institu-
ton in Massachusetts.

SKATING.-The cold weather is very favorable fol
this exciting and healthy recreation, and large mum
bers of our people, ofboth sexes, have ayaed them
selves of the opportunity to indulge in it, so that the
ponds where the ice is suitable have exhibited live

ever, that some individuals of the rougher gender
have, in instances had too little regard to the
presence of females in the character of their sports
and have hurled missiles upon the ice, such as balls
and clubs endangering the safety of those who arc
not much accustomed to skating. Two ladies were
hit by missiles of this character yesterday, and
one of them famed to such a degree, that it was
with difficulty that she returned to her home, with
out assistance. We sincerely hope there will be nc
repetition of such things, and that nothing may
cur to make the women feel as if they are debarred
from privilege which their brethren freely in

To the Editor qfthe Spy;

NOTICED, in your paper of yesterday an adver-
tisement for sacred concert at the church of Rev
DR.. Hill, on Sunday evening, Dec. ~, at 7 O'Clock

buckle, Mr.. and Mrs Albert s. Allen, Mrs. Hill Miss
Abee, Miss Chamberlin, and Mr.. McConyill, have
generously offered their assistance on this occasion
From the well-known musical reputation of these
persons, this concert cannot fail to be worthy Of the
liberal patronage of citizens, from its intrinsic
merritt and especially should this patronage be eN-
tended to it, the entire proceeds of the concert
will be applied in aid Of of the most deserving
charities among US. Pro Bono PUBLICo.

PorAToEs.-Ihe potato known in New York as
the Prince Albert, Of which we sometimes see the
most eXtrayagant statements in the New York
papers concerning their quality and productyeness,
proves upon trial to be The same potato that has
long been known in this section Of the country as
the est Helena which IA not generally regarded
here any thing more than second rate
A gentleman Of our acquaintance purchased, last
spring, from u reliable dealer in New FORK, some Of
the genuine Prince Alberts, at high price, and the
product WA some very genuine specimens of the
st. Helena, and nothing else.
The potato known in New York as the Dykcman,
and which is the fayorte early potato in that part of
the country, proves, upon trial, upon our soil to be
about a fortnight earlier than the Chenango and,
though hardly up TO the last named in quality, it is
far less liable to disease, and lis introduction into
New England cannot fail TO be remuneratiye TO the
farmer.

YoUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH AT OBER-
LIN, OHo.-Miss Abby Summers of Livonia,
Livingston county, N. Y, who has been con
nected with the Female College at Oberlin,
was most shockingy burned on Friday, Dec.
3. She had gotten somewhat behind her class
and retired TO her room to study and sat up
very late, till the fluid was exhausted in her
lamp Thinking she might again need light,
she attempted to fill the lamp. As is too often
the case, the fluid caught fire and she was in
stantly enveloped in flames she rushed,
screaming into the hall, but the occupants OF
the other rooms thinking there were burglars
in the house, in their alarm fastened their
doors upon her, and the poor girl ran down in
TO the basement before any one came to her
relief 1t was then too late, and, although all
was done that could be, she died in about fif
teen minutes. The occurrence has spread a
gloom over the whole village, and the exercis.
es in the college are suspended

ScARcITY OF SEAMEy.-We learn, from the
journal of Commerce, that there is a great
scarcity of seamen in all the principal seaports
from Boston to New Orleans and that wages
rate very high. This has caused an extra de-
mand for colored seamen for vessels trading to
Southern ports, as seamen's wages are so high
there, that white seamen from the North desert
their vessels for the higher prices.

A BOGUS BRowN.-William Brown, who
claims to be an Agent of the African Aid Soci-

sometimes calls himself Professor Brown, and
again DR.. Brown; but under whatever guise,
it is safe to turn him the cold shoulder He
has been in Pelham in Hampshire county,
lately, where he was allowed to make his
speech, but his true character was exposed be-
fore he came to the collection, which was CON
sequently feeble.

OFF THE TRAcK-The rear of the last train
from Boston, last evening, was thrown off the track
after leaving the depot about twenty rods. The
truck was swung round, and the car went humping
and humping at an alarming rate, to the general
fright Of the passengers. Fortunately, the engineer
was informed of the trouble by the. vigorous pulling
of the bell-cord, and the train stopped before harm
was done to life or limb. Result: none hurt-a great

The attention of the public should be called to the
effort which is now making by the Mozart Society to
give series of concerts, the current season. The
second of the course is to take place Friday, the
18th inst. While it is well, perhaps, TO give our
money to fill the pockets Of itinerant musicians and
show-men, when they have real talent to exhibit it
will not be aiss to see that equally deserving talents
and accomplishments among our own citizens are
not overlooked in the eagerness for what is dear
bought and far-fetched. There are no better per-
formances, taken altogether than are given by our
own musical associations.
