Will thew Unite 2

The question has been mooted of late in regard to
a union of the Methodist Episcopal and Protestant
Episcopal Churches. Bishop Smith, of Kentucky,
lLpiscopal,) has written letter, published in the
Advocate and Journal, of New York. in which he
says:
"The writer speaks solely in his individual capac-
tJ when he says that there is no concession reason
aoe or unreasonable, not absolutely involving prn-
cpe, which he would not be willing to make in view
Of an end so unspeakably auspcious and desirable -
He would be cheerfully willing to adopt modified
itineracy, love-feasts, and class-meetings and to
take such prospective but gradual measures toward
reunion as should shock mans prejudces, and
take, If necessary, generation to bring about per-
feet union.
"On the part of the Methodists, all that would be
necessary would be gradual return to the use of
some form of common prayer and slight concession
to the Episcopalians upon the question Of
sion in the episcopacy'
In comment on this, the Advocate and Journal.
leading organ of the Northern Methodists, says:
Fortunate as may be the existence of various
sects MS provocation of zeal and good works. and
an accommodation Of the varied opinions of good
men, yet no devout observer fail that their
excessive multiplication, has become calamity to
Professionalism, and source of most lamentable dis
cord and bigotry All good men hope to see the evil
abated by the progress of evangelical revivals and
charity. The present revival interest has had pos
tive and invaluable tendency towards Christian un-
ion, and the day will come when shall all be de-
vouty ashamed Of our petty quarres, and hasten to
put many of them away forever.
Every good word, therefore. for charity and uI-
ion, should be welcomed by Christian men. We new
er write word of dissent from any suggestion Of the
kind without regret, however necessary may be our
dissent. We deeply regret, them, to say that the
difficulties Of the Bishops plan seem to us nsur-
mountable-for the present. Tho time may come
when they shall be so no more. Our Protestant
Episcopal brethren themselves we think are not ad
vanced enough in this direction for the necessary
terms Of such blessed communion

This has been year Of plenty. Fruits, and
Flowers, and golden grains have been spread
out before us in abundance. And now that the
yellow tints Of Autumn admonish us that the
harvest is over, IL is good for us TO humble our
selves, and give thanks 70 the Giver Of all good.
Letus meet around our firesides and our affairs,
ana humbly thank the God Of Heaven for the
many blessings that we daily receive at his
hands. And as our hearts soften in gratitude,
let ms not forget to pray that war, pestience,
famine. and civil connections, may be averted
from our happy land, and that this great con-
federacy of States may be cementcd in bonds Of
lasting friendship, and thereby more effectualy
" secure the blessings of liberty TO ourselves,
and posterity," for all time to come.
I dc, therefore. appoint Thursday, the twenty
ninth day of November next, as day of
thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty God, for
his continued favors. Let us on that day alb
stain from all secular labors. and with contrite
hearts, humble ourselves before him who alone
is able to save.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the Great
Seal of the State of Michigan, TO
IL. ST. be affixed at Lansing. this 9th day
l' Of October, A. ID. 1860.

think it duty devolving upon them 10
make start in life by commencing house
keeping, breaking away from the paternal
home and protection. And 10 order to
this important and natural step furniture
is necessary. Bureaus, tables, stands,
chairs, sofas, DC, are found essential for
convenience and comfort, upholstery is
no less requisite, and It is fixed fact that
very cheap and most beautiful samples Of
the above can nj all times be found at the

HARTFORD ETNA INSURANCE Co..
In the present unprotected state Of our
village, as regards fire There being no reg
ularly organized fire company, or hook
and ladder provision), we would earnestly
recommend TO our citizens, for their own
safety, insurance with some good, respon-
sible Company. The Etna Insurance
Company, of Hartford, Conn., is one Of
the Oldest, and probably one of the most
reliable Insurance Companies in existence.
1t has always paid its losses promptly,
and without putting persons insured,
who are so unfortunate as to lose, their
property by fire, TO any unnecessary de-
lay or trouble in collecting their insurance,
and the rates of insurance are very low.
DwIGHT CUTLER, Esq, is the agent Of
the Company for Grand Haven and VI
cinity. II you are not insured lose nc
time in obtaining the necessary documents
against loss by fire, as you are liable al
any hour to be "burhed out"

OUR SCHOOL.
To tie Board Of School Trustees:

To tie Board Of School Trustees:
l1 GESrLEMEN:d We have chosen you to
be the guardians of our school. We have
put the education of our children, and to
large extent their training, their morals,
and even their health, into your hands.
And we believe orr choice was n good
one; we think you worthy of the trust,
and We have no doubt at all but that you
have enGeavored conscientiously to fulfill
your duty, and we trust that when any
thing is pointed out to you which de-
mands your attention that it shall havei it.
We have visited the school-haye
heard some OF its classes-were much
pleased with all we saw and heard, Civ
ing evidence that you had proper regard
to our and your interests in the selection
of teachers. 1t is not our business now,
however, to eulogize you, but to call your
attention to the junior school. We found
there a young lady in charge of a large
number of little ones, who seemed to be
under very good control-no less it APP
pcared to us from the motive of love to
their teacher than of fear Of her displeas-
ure. We found the platform before the
door needing repair and not without dan
ger. There was no way of opening the
door from without, as the latch was bro
ken, and when with difficulty it was open
ed from the Inside, the eff1uvium which
saluted our olfactories was anything but
agreeable. 1t reminded us of what Col
eridge, ! believe it was, said, when he
visited Cologne, where the famous Col
ogne water was first manufactured,
describing the filth of the city he declar-
ed that " He encountered forty bad smells,
and five distinct stinks.r) We found Miss
ANDERSON had about sixty children on
her list-there was then above fifty in
attendance. Now, just think Of upward.
of fifty children in a room seventeen feet

thisl Gentlemen, we are willing TO pa,

but we cannot afford to pay tax in tn

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Now in use irrespective Of Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST Wilson's Machine.
list. Its simplicity and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This,is q great desideratum andin this we claim
a decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to q small wheel driven by larger
one, instead Of to the long arm of lever as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
Sd. The great power and directness Of tho
motion enables us TO sew all fabrics, from gauzo
to four tbicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made TO run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses from sheet Of paper
TO heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking n thread. Wo
know of no other family machine Of equal ca
pacity. 1921 H
4th. II uses silk, cotton or linen threadfrom
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the seam to DO turned at right an-
glesrat its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi
est garments bed-quilts, &c, and IL will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above. ~. as,l sl.3.
