Church, in Woonsockst. In North Tx
bridge seventy conversions are announced,
and quite number at Whitinsville. A cor.
respondent informs Us Of revival at

Bf;,sis,ippi.-At the Mammoth Cave,
Mississippi, as the result Of a IA days' revi-
val, 80 persons were converted.
Keatucky.-At Ashland there Inns been q
three weeks revival, and 60 persons added
to the Methodist Church. '''
No Religious Feeling in Roehester.-The
Rochester Union, chronicles the fact that
the "Great Awakening has skipped over
that city. Its people are absorbed in poison
ings, murders, and the rivalry in the oyster
trade, that they are hardly conscious Of the
great wave Of religious feeling which il
sweeping over the country. We are sorry,
for no place more needs such reformation
as only q thorough conversion could bring
about. -u -. E-s. # s.r.4E .
Congressional Prayer Meeting.-The
Washington correspondence Of the Philndel-
phia Inquirer, says:
said the other day, that the prevailing |
religious excitement had not yet reached
Capitol Hill. At this time itappears to have
done 80, for it is announced, that at the re- |
quest of a Senator, a suitable place is to be |
selected near the Capitol, where Members |
of Congress and others may attend daily |
prayer meetings during the hour preceding |
the opening Of the two Houses. That a |
deep interest is being awakened in this city |
seems certain, and can only hope that those |
interested in the movement, will not follow
the example of their Northern brethren, in |
one respect, viz using the name Of their
more prominent converts dd ndnseum.
GI-t is computed by one of the religious
papers, that within the two m ooshs just past,
forty thousand persons have been added, BY
conversion to the various churches within
the United States. ,.-,. ....-.... y

Michigdn.--A deep religious feeling is
prevalent in Detroit. Morning prayer meet
ings are held, which are we'll attended,
The Methodists have been especially blessed

CO The Churchn,dn, the High-Church
Episcopal organ Of New York, is somewha.
shocked at the idea of prayer meeting held
in a theatre. It says
Nothing, perhaps, has shown more decid-
eddy the suspicious character of the religious
epidemic which is now raging among US un.
der the name Of the "Great Revival" than
the circumstances Of its promoters having
had recourse to a play house, in which to
exhibit its Manifestations day after day in the
face Of gaping and profane crowds. We
say that not only have We no faith in NIL this
excitement, and oil this theatrical display,
but that we think it in all respects highly
mischievous and in some respects, positively
irreligious, not to say blasphcmous, and
therefore to be discouraged.
Alta revival meeting held IN Burton's
Chamber Street Theatre,s Nesc Yqak, on
Wednesday last, il was stated thai Edwin
Forest, the actor, was lately converted, and
that the Boston Theatre is about to be sold.
~ Among those who are said to have
become converts in the great revival now
going on in New York, is George Law. ''
