been for weeks in the Centenary NJ.

merly of this city. One hundred and
seventy persons have united with the
Church, most of whom are converted.
Among the accessions are General
Thomas d. Sedgwick, Colonel G. L.

gress, aud Colonel T. J. Jackson, all
Of the Union army, and many of the
most prominent citizens Of New Al

says: The revivals are literally ruin
ing the saloons and places of amuse-
ment Several Of the principal saloon
keepers talk seriously of closing their
houses.
A very extensive and refreshing re-
vival is manifested in the Churches
of the Baptist denomination through

ditions, by profession of faith and
baptism, are reported from the three
States of Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan during four weeks past.

orally looked forward to with peculiar
interest by Methodists, and we have
no doubt the services tomorrow will

TIoN of the Indiana Conference holds
its annual meeting in this city on the
21st of April It is expected that
large number of delegates will be in
attendance Oh that occasion, and the
members of the NJ. E. Churches in
the city are beginning to make prepa-
rations to give them a cordi.I well
come. The Convention will be in
session three days. The programme
indicates that the session will be an
interesting one. Several distinguished
divines have already signifed their
intention to be present Arrange
Iaents have been made with the rail
roads, we understand, bywhich dele
gates will come and go for half fare.
As our city has been honored with
but few public gatherings of the kind,
we anticipate that our citizens will
spare no exertions to entertain hos
pitably every stranger who may visit
US for the purpose of taking part in
the proceedings Of the Convention.
A call for a Lay Delegate Conven-
ton of the NJ E. Church, signed by
176 members, appears in the Indian
apolis papers. The Convention will |
be held at the Capital, on the Oath day
of March, at 2 o'clock Pm. The
meeting will be held in Roberts |
Chapel, corner of Pennsylvania and |
Market Streets, opposite the Post-of- |
fee. DR.. Reid, editor of the Western,
and DR.. Eddy, editor of the North |
Western, ADVOCATES, are expected to be
present and address the Convent Ga
also DR.. Bowman, President of the
Asbury University. The Convention
will be largely attended, no doubt.
and the proceedings unusually inter-
esting.
