oRDlNA rIoN AND INSTALLATION

AT tho call of the Plymouth Church,
Milwaukee, a Council assembled on Tues
day, the 18th inst, for the purpose of ex-
aiming the Rev. CHAs d. HELMERin or
der to ordination and installation. The
Council was large, embracing several min
listers from illinois and Wisconsin, and
two from Michigan. Rev. DIR. KrrcnEL,
of Detroit, was chosen Moderator, and
Rev. N. Ii. EaeLEsroN, of Madison,
Scribe.
The examination on natural and re-
vealed theology, experimental religion,
and ecclesiastical polity was very thorough
and we'll sustained by the candidate
The Council were unanimous in their APP
proval of brother HELMER, and voted to
ordain and install him..
At quarter TO Z, PM, the Plymouth
house of worship was full to OVERLOOKING.
The Rev. J. j. MISTER, the first pastor
of the church, preached from I'd Tim.
As g Make full proof of thy ministry"
The sermon was good and appropriate.
The charge to the people by Rev. DIR.
KIToHEI, was in his usual happy style,
and we thought that of Prest. CHAPLIN,
of Beloit College, to the pastor was one
of much terseness and force.
The choir accompanied by the hoarse
bass Of a very fine organ performed adj
mirably-and the whole services were
well performed. Mr. HELMER is young
man we should judge of much mental
power, and varied attainments, and placed
rs he is, over one of the first and wealth
lest churches of our great Northwest
we hope that he will be noble standard
bearer in the cause of his Master and that
large success will crown his labors.
The times we live in are marked by
strong denominationalism in the churches;
and where this is carried on with
right spirit, and with proper regard to
the relations in which we stand to our
brethren of sister churches, and does not
descend to low sectarian spirit of prose-
lyteism, we think the result may be for
good. In tie meantime we believe that
the christian democracy of congregation
alism is not only largely extending its
boundaries, but must commend itself by
its principle of true popular sovereignty
to the intelligence of every thinking mind.

CONFERENCE.-The case, TO which
we referred in our last issue, was adjourn
ed from time to time because the princi-
pal witness could not be subpenaed. The
examination took place on the 2lst and
22d inst. After the witnesses in behalf
of the people were examined the prison
or, by Mr.. Hopkins, made motion to be
discharged, as he considered there was no
proof that the crime as alledged in the
warrant had been committed. The court
decided that there was positive proof that
crime had been committed as stated in
the warrant, and therefore overruled the
motion for discharge and ordered to pro-
coed with the examination. On motion
of the respondent adjourned to 9oth inst,
at o'clock p. M.

African Farmers a0oO years Ag

African Farmers 1000 years Ago.
Prof. Flether Of the college at Greencastle
has been ,translating some. of the ancient
classic writers on Agriculture, for the, bene
6t of the farmers Of Putnam county From
some extracts we learn that one Of the kings
of Carthage, in tine northern part of Africa,
considered agriculture of SO much impor-
lance, that he devoted his chief attention TO
it and wrote over twenty bookson farming.
Those works show that the Africans at that
day, WERE far in advance Of any Of the
nations inhabiting that country at present.
Their territory is described as being covered
with gardens and large plantations, inter-
sected everywhere by canals, by which they
were watered.r The whole country. was stud
ded withlanded estates, adorned with elegant
buildings, that betrayed the opulence OF the
owners. The lands yereplanted with vines,
palms, and other fruits, while extensive pas
lures were flied with focksi ana herds, and
beautiful brood mares. In short, the whole
prospect displayed the wealth of the inhab-
itants; the highest ranks of the Cartilage
mans. were farmers, and We'd with each
other in pcmp and luxury. The king we
have spoken of, alludes with much depreca-
ton to the fashionable farmer, or those who
tried to be othfarmers aud city folks; from
which we infer that human proclivities and
| vanities were just about the same two thou
sand and five hundred years ago, that they.
are now, for we have many such at the
present day, who are neither bat nor bird !;
neither living in town or country, but trying
to play the lord in BOTH These the King
advises in thefoIowing style; ''who' should
buy farm, let him sell his city residence
that he may mo longer be encountered with
his town house, but give himself up entirely
to that upon his land. Hetowhom an abode
In the city lies close at heart, has no need of

~ nEH.. A writer in the Princeton IadiaRian,
exposes great outrage upon the Gibson
county treasury. 1t has been so long the
practice in this State, for the State and
county officers having the disposal of lands
forfeited to the common school or other funds,
to advertise all that are offered for sale, at
the same time, IL one notice, that it has be-
come a part Of the law of the land. The
custom had its origin in honesty it was to
save cost TO the debtor, as well as to the
trust fund, and it has time and again re-
ceived the implied sanction Of the Legisla-
ture of the State Notwithstanding this
law and custom, the Auditor OF Gibson
county publishes sixty three notices in the
Princeton Clarion, Of the sale Of forfeited
lands, when the whole ought to have been
embraced in two notices-one for the lands
forfeited to the common school fund, and the
other for kinds forfeited to the Congression-
al townships.,aao5 49, - -. ..,i .t...
! The writer above very pointedly says:
"What was this done for? We have Il
right to ask the question--and the public
have a right to an answer. Was 1T TO afford
the Auditor an opportunity TO make an adj
ditionalh charge for extra services, or, was il
to give the printer a fat job of getting pay
for sixty-three notices, instead Of twoH
Now be it understood, we seek no quarrel
with any officer of tho United States, of this
State, nor Of this county; but when frauds
are attempted by those holding offices, We
shall cry aloud and spare not"

- A NEW AND INTERESTING iWoRK--We
have been permitted TO glance over the
manuscript of a new work, which we hope
soon to see published in book form, as its in.
trinsic merit must elicit the highest appre-
citation from the Christian patriot, the states
man, and the lover OF interesting and in
structive literary research. The work to
which we aiiude is from the pen of Rev.
Hiram Gilmore, A. NJ at present tie able
pastor of the Locust street NJ f. congrega-
ton in this city, and is entitled "The Ma
tional Lighthouse, or the Plain Exhibition
of Moral Administration, in the Origin,
Glory, and Destiny of Nations and Empires"
1t is elaborate in plan, and the details show
that it must have cost the author a great deal
of time and patience, rs well as laborious
Mr.. Gilmore has written several works,
which have met with great appreciation from
a large class of the reading public, and more
especially from members of his own relg ious
denomiuation r"The Evangelical Mathe-
Ematician, Lectures on Evidences of Chris
| ianity,p, "The Granite Rock, y and, we be-
! lieve, one or two other hooks. comprise n
list of his previous labors in the field Of aI-
thorship. These are all works which met
with good demand, and received high enco-
minms from the reviewers among the reli-
a..
gious periodical press, on account Of their
power and talent, and Wholesome lessons OF
piety displayed in their pages. The Light
house, viewed as a contribution To .Ameri-
can literature, would, in book form, prove a
fattering testimonial TO the authors varied
learning. aud historical knowledge. 1t is
written in vigorous and graceful style,
and aims to impress upon the mind those
great truths that have withstood the test OF
time, and upon which rest the hope Of all
nations and empires; that remind kingdoms
and men everywhere, that ss.s s-la.
