College in Edinburgh. All candi-

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND.-We learn
that over eighty were received into
Center Church at the recent COM
munion, and that only twenty-five
students in Wabash College remain
unconyerted.
Rev. F. w. BRAUNs.-This broth
er, who has, since the absence Of Rev.
DR.. Burt, supplied the Seventh Pres
byterian Church of Cincinnati, left
last Wednesday morning for his new
field of labor, to which he was re-
Gently called, at Salem, N. J.--Her-
aid.
Rev. DR.. Morfort, the editor of the
Cincinnati Presbyter co. 81, writes
from New York:
Rev. DIR. N. L. Rice has given
notice to his congregation of his
resignation of his pastoral charge.
His old physician, DIR. w. S. Ridgely,
lately visited him, and advised him
that his resignation was indispensable
to his health. DIR. Rice is not in
sympathy with the action of our Gen
eral Assembly in regard to the Church
South, and yet he has not been de-
monstrative in his opposition to it.
He still holds that abolitionism is a
great heresy, and that slavery, though
it had great evils connected with it,
was not sinful His Church is large,
and abounds in wealth.
After some examination of the state
of things in our Church in this city
and Brooklyn, / feel free to repeat
an opinion which / expressed a year
ago, and for which DIR. Van Dyke
took me to task. I think that there
will be Presbytery formed here in
connection with the Church South.
The Rev Mr.. Carroll, of Wyoming,
Iowa, writes of the revival now going
on there as follows:
We have had glorious work of
grace here in the few weeks that have
passed. We began with the Week. of
Prayer, and have just closed our
meetings after protractihg them seven
weeks. We had a union meeting
with the Methodists, and from forty
to fifty hopeful conversions have been
the result. Ao6ogtai ar,.r
f. Here is another account of good
done by revival in labor and prayer,
for which the Old School and New
School Presbyterians united, 1t is
from Wolf Greek, Pennsylvania
After the Week of Prayer, the
New School Church accepted an invi-
tation from the pastor and session of
the Old School Church of Centre, to
unite with them in series of union
meetings, and the result has been
glorious. As nearly as we can now
ascertain about 40 hopeful CONVEX
slons have taken place.
And still another instance of good
done by revival. We should like to
know whether the young converts
still continued on at the dancing
school, seeing the matter of dancing
christians is "a vexed question 4"
with some professors: The revival
in Warren, r. l., still continues with
power. Out of a dancing school of
eighty, fifty have professed CONVEX
sion. Forty heads of families are
numbered among the converts. -
A religious revival, described as
the IL ost extensive ever witnessed in
Nashville, has been in progress there
for the past six weeks. In that time
one hundred and thirty persons have
joined the First Presbyterian Church,
DIR. Bunting's, and scores to the other
Churches of that city.
BAPTIST.
The First Baptist Church, Marble
Hall, will hold its usual Sabbath
services tomorrow. The Pastor, Rev.
Geo. f. Pentecost, who has for some
weeks past been absent, engaged in a
revival work in New Albany, it is
expected will oficiate tomorrow.
Rev. r. D. Bland. the Superintend-
emit for Missions of the Indiana Bap-
fist Churches, reports that the various
Churches are responding to the call
