II. 299 scholars, and in the German cantons of
Switzerland 10, with 1858 scholars. These

The General Assemblies of the two dis
iinct religious bodies hitherto knswn as
the s'Old School, and ''New School
Presbyterian churches, have substantially
agreed on basis of union which will re-
suit in their fusion into single organiza-
ton, to he known as the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. There is O
respectable minority of the "Old School
and q smaller fraction Of the New
School," who hold out against the union
decrced by the majority Of either body;
but we presume few months will suffice
to perfect that union, SO that there will be
but one denomination known as P:esbyte-
rian throughout our country. We hope
the impulse thus given WIZ not be arrested
until most OF the several minor sects,
known as "Secedcrs," ''Cameronians,
"Burghcrs.r &c, will be brought into the
common fold; so that all adherents of tie
Presbyterian poiity, from the Bay q
Fundy TO Puget's Sound, shall constitute 8
single and thoroughly united church.-N

With blood. 81 loi - ssi'efm8s ~.
1t was leosencd; the shirt was streaket
with blood; but in the breast pocket was 1
book. The Captain drew il forth. 1t was
the mothers Bible; he opened it. The
leaves were saturated with the poor boy:
hearts blood. Across the blank page
where the mother had made her inscrip-
lion, were three streaks of blood, like the
branches of little streamlct. They cross
cd the words, ''God bless him.
The page where he had been reading q
few hours before, and where a leaf was
turned down, was also crimsoned with hi:
lifes blood. The mark indicated the pass
age where He assures His children thai
not sparrow falls without His notice.
The next day, the brave oy-soldier
and sixteen other heroes, were placed ts
rest in the cold earth, upon gentle slope
a Lille cast of the town.
But how of home and the widowed
mother?
The Oldest boy was serving with Rose
Grams, in Western Virginia. \ steamer
came down the Kanawha,, and brought
the tidings, "Your eldest born is dead. -
The mother groaned in aSory of spirit, and
her thoughts reverted to the younger child
in the Western Army.
Then flashed over the wires the news Of
the brilliant charge ofthe body-guard and
the amount of their loss. For several days
the mother waited, her heart agonizcd
with suspense, and her soul wrung with an
ing the names of the killed and wounded.
The mother seized the shee; and glanced
over the columns.
"0h Cod she groaned, "my boy 5 name
is there. But it cannot bc-it cannot be-
At this moment step was heard in the
hail. The door opened, and the boy.so,
dicr's Captain entered. The mother saw
him, and staggering forward, fell into his
arms, crying
"Oh, tell me there is some mistake-tell
IN, there is some mis.ake-:ell me my boy
still lives.
''In heaven, and in the heart of n CRATE
ful country" replied the soldier, mildly,
"a he reached forth the blood d-stained BIZ
bic. The mother gazed upon the blood
IN agoniziug wall bust from her lips, and
she fell heavily to the floor.
For some time after, The mother was 8
raving maniac. But time has restored her
and now, brokcn-hcartcd and hcallh-de
stroyed, she awaits His call to join heI
! children.
Thank God, no moro such scenes shal
wiring fond mothers hearts.
Think you, reader, that the survivors OF
such scenes will ever vote other than the
way they shot? We do not.

Cincinnati business man: While New
Albany moneycd citizen was in Cincinnati
some days ago, he was solicited for a loan
of ten thousand dollars by a prominent
business man of that city, considered one
among the most substantial operators in
the Queen City. The New Albany man
not having tho money with him, neither
desiring to check home for that amount,
replied that he would go home, get the
money, return with it 10 Cincinnati, and
loan il to his friend. This he did, letting
the Cincinnatian have eight thousand dol
lars. The same day he loaned the money
the New Albanian returned to his home
and three OF four days after reaching
home, hc received notification that The

money had made application for the bcne-
fit of the Bankrupt law and that he must

The american Stock Journal, com
menting on the blind staggers in horses
says the first thing TO be- done in a case OF
this kind is to relieve the pressure OF blood
about the head Of the animal by copious
blood letting. The jugular vein should he
tapped and so much blood taken as will
serve to restore the animal to use OF its
limbs. The quantity proper to be taken
can he pretty accurately determined on by
the effect produced. When the horse
shows signs of being relieved, the flow ol
blood should be checked, the cause sought
for. and medicines given in accordance
with the symptoms. Ifthe attack proceed
from an over-distension OF the stomach,
the pump should he brought into use. and
free application of warm water be made.
Medicines calculated to give freedom to
the bowels will be found beneficial
