REMoVED.-One of the old scraggy
elm trees in front of the Court yard,
was removed yesterday. There is an
other still remaining, which it would
be we'll to consign to somebody's cook
ing stove, as it is nearly dead, and adds
nothing to the beauty or attractiveness
of the public place it occupies. The
one taken down was an eye sore, and
the parties who removed IL deserve a
vote of thanks. If they would only
continue the work they have so we'll
begun, demonstration should be got
ten up for their benefit.

The Valparaiso Male and Female Col>
lcge held its commencement for 1863 dur
ing last week. The exercises were Of the
highest grade, and 10 every respect praises
worthy. Had we the time and space in
our columns, 1t would give us pleasure to
enter into detailed description of the
whole affair. Miss Ewing graduated in
the collegiate department with high hon
ors. The degree of Master of Arts was
conferred upon Prof. r. d. Utter, OF which
we speak with pleasure. Quite a number
were graduates in Music and i'm the Ac>
cademic course. At the conclusion q
handsome Bible was presented to the
President, by Miss Ewing, with appropri
ate remarks, which were responded to in
the most pathetic and appropriate man
ner. A handsome donation was also Civ
en- the President to aid him in his trip TO
his new mission in South America.
The new President elect, is Rev. o. II,
Smith, A. NJ; Rev. r. ID. Utter, A. III
Prof. Of language; Preceptress, Miss Il.
Bates. The College never was in more
prosperous condition, nor offered better
opportunities for educational purposes,
and for its success much is due to the IA,
bors of President Wood and Prof. II. ID.
Utter.

So far as tho pro,es,.n, Episcopal

So FAR as tho protestant Episcopal
Church is concerned, no statistics with res
gard TO membership, value of Church
property, Church accommodation. or peo-
pie attending services, have ever been Of
ficialIy made or published. 1t has been
mere guessing on the part of those pub
fishing such statistics, and In such 500
called statistics the membership is not
even guessed at, and il confoundcd with
certain confirmation reports which are of
an entirely different character and mean
those confirmed and regularly receiving
the Holy Communion In permanent par,
ishes in organized dioceses. Such reports
are made for certain assessments, and do
not include all COMMITMENTS even, The
effort is low being made by the Church to
have something reliable and complete with
regard to these points, but the reports will
not beperfccted for some time. Taking
the report SO far as now Official and. ma
king an estimate for the rest OF the coun>

ton, the best Church authorities place I he

States, at nearly two millions. !Mhs.only

Der, once baptized always baptized The
weak point in. tho Protestant EpiseopAl
Church is not With regard to membership,
but the means of taking care Of members.
The weak point Is the want Of Bishops
and clergymsn, and especially Houses Of
Worship for her members-al.hough hsr
Bishops and Clergy and Houses OF wos-
ship are about equal In number to those oil
the Roman Church, and are in excess In
proportion to members. These Items are
not new 70 Churchmen, but 70 others the,
probably. are, and . knowledgs Of these
facts may save those not Churchnen from
mistaken views concerning the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Statistics of the kind
