Trssbie Abons Two Bottles Of Ale.
One Absalom jerks, q country lad,
was before Bross yesterday, for raising o
fuss In the bsgnio presided over by the
mastodonic sarah. His principal offense
was that he and his companions swilled
lot OF her ale, and when informed that
the price was one dollar per bottle, they
were thunderstruck and refused ~ pay
It. They could buy better ale In the
country for twenty-five cents a bottle,
aud would see her - before they'd pay
her dollar Absalom was fined IS and
trimmings, amounting to something
over go, which was equivalent to IS per
bottle for the ale consumed by them.
Feeling greatly angered at the prose-
cution, Mr. jerks cross.fred, and sued
big Sal for selling ale without license.
True, he had paid her nothing for the
ale, but she had "boned him" for the
pay, and had the price ibeen twenty-five
cents, she would have got her money.
The proof was sufficient and Sarah was
fined SO and trimmings.

ENCOURAGING FACTS.

| 1t will interest our Presbyterian people to know
that our Committee of Publication is making en-.
couraging progress in the important work entrust-
ed to its care. This will appear from such facts
as the following;
| Our new Hymn Book was published about
eighteen months ago; of which SO, 800 copies have
been Sold and the demand is still so active that it
is difficult to meet it-not having at any time
funds to print an edition large enough to furnish
the depository with an adequate supply.
! The Questions on the Gospels, by Rev. B NJ,
Smith, d. D., was published only about two
months ago. Since that time $500 copies have
been sold Within the last four months 5000
Catechisms have been sold, and LOO copies of
"The Culdee Church, by Rev. T. " Moore,
D. D. The sermon which DR.. Moore preached at
the opening of the last General Assembly, entitled
''Tbe Corporate Life Of the Church, has also
been selling we'll The sales generally of books
upon our catalogue has been increasing decidedly.
At every meeting of the Committee grants are
made to Sabbath schools whose necessities seem to
demand them. These grants include books and
tracts in the Depository, and to some extent Bi
bles aud Testaments also. The aggregate of this
is very considerable, and if the Committee had
the ability they might be largely and usefully in
creased. But it is gratifying to think that with
the four or five thousand dollars worth of pubica-
tons iudieously distributed to applicants properly
endorsed, so much precious truth has been dis
seminated, and so many feeble churches have
been cheered in their labors of love- Among the
most acceptable and useful donations the Commit
tee can make is parcel of q The Cbildren'S
Friend, and we are pleased to learn that the
prospect of an increased circulation of this little
messenger of glad tidings is better than ever
before.
Upon the whole the work of this Committee
shows decided progress; in proportion to the
means at command under embarrassments con-
tinualy met it may be justly considered a re
markable progress 1t is confidently believed that
the care, economy efficiency, and success of this
enterprise will, under the circumstances, compare
favorably with that of any other of the kind in
the country
One of the chief wants of this Committee is an
increase of its capital Our General Assembly of
1865 designated $4,000 as the lowest amount for
an endowment fund which should be asked of the
churches. Of this sum only about S2S 900 were
reported to the last Assembly as contributed for
that purpose. Most of this has been, of necessi-
ty, invested in the Hymn Book and other books,
whose publication was indispensable, and in fur
nishing our Depository with the large and valuable
supply of Sabbath school books needed to meet
the demand of our churches. Some interesting
r,orL-s fro,, to mans oF bratbron baon0ipn RI our
own Church, are now on hand and will soon be is

REV. B. GILDERsLEEvE.--The many
friends of this venerable brother, so long
and faithfully the Editor of the Central
Presbyterian, will hear with concern and
much sympathy that he has for a month or
two past been afflicted with an almost total
loss of vision.
After resigning his Office as Editor, in
December, 1860, Mr. Gildersleeve, though
past the age of threeseOre years and ten, did
not claim an exemption from labor. He re-
paired Immediately to Southwestern Viz
ginia, purchased horse and became mis-
sionary. This involved an entire change of
habits long fixed, aud the zeal and perse-
veranee with which, through years of unex-
ampled trouble, his work has been prosecu-
ted, may well serve as an example of patient
continuance in wel-doing to others who have
not yet the heavy burden of extreme old
age.
1t is gratifying to know that excepting the
affection referred to, his state of health is
comfortable. He may be assured that there
are multitudes to whose instruction and edi-
6eation he so long ministered, whose prayer
viii be that the light of Gods cOuntenance
may be ever lifted upon him, and that the
peace of God may abide with him continual
ly and abundantly.

ARREARAGES.

1t is necessary to renew the request that
those who are in arrears Will be so good as
to make remittance of the amount due at
the earliest time practicable. A post Office
order, bank check, or a registered letter
are the proper modes of sending money.
A feaO subscribers iR arrears have pro-
posed to settle their accounts according to
present rates. This is not reasonable.
Those who paid in advance paid 81 why
should those who have deferred it pay less
Surely they ought not to ask premium up
on sheir hardness, or neglect. As it is,
they are charged less than the advertised
terms, which were S. if not paid in advance.
We have in all cases deducted 81, and think
this ought to be entirely satisfactory. A
farmer who sold property one or two years
ago on two months credit, would be slow to
perceive the equity of the claim to have the
matter settled at a much lower rate because
the price of such property is now much
less. The only fair rule is to pay according
to the price when the contract was made. But
even this we do not demand of those who
are delinquent; for, as Just remarked, we
make out their accounts at "a a year instead
of S.. Is not this enough? The cost of
making a paper was greater one and two
years ago than it is now, and it is not equi-
table to demand settlement of those old
debts which ought to have been paid long
ago, upon the scale of present prices.
We hope this explanation will be agreed
to by all concerned as altogether satisfacto-
ry. But it would be much better to lose here
and there subscriber than to yield to an
unreasonable demand, which if extended to
all would be Ito US a heavy loss, would violate
plain and fair rule, and treat punctual sub
scribers unjustly by having virtually two
prices for the paper-of which they are to
pay the highest.

The North Western theological Seminary
The Northeastern Presbyterian of the 9th instant,
comes to us this week heavily freighted with mat
ter pertaining to the controversies on hand in re-
gard to the Theological Seminary at Chicago =
First we have the Editors RELY to the charges
recently made by the Ptesbytei against the Board
of Trustees. How this reply can be met by the
PresJgter we do not know. t seems to be con-
elusive.
Next We have letter from he Rev. DR.. N. L.
Rice, addressed to Cyrus H. Mccormick, Esq , in
relation to the acrimonious ;ccusations of Dr..
Willis Lord. This occupies Olumn and an half,
and is followed by a letter from Mr.. Mccormick to
Dr. Lord, on the same subject The license which
Dr. Lord had taken in speaking of Mr.. McCor-
mick, has probably prepared tbse who have care
fully read the communication, o find him in the
wrong. These letters of DIR. lice and Mr.. Nc
Cormick, must prove exceedingly damaging to
him, and not the less so from bing written after
quite different fashion from hi own.
There are reasons growing oft of our early &C
quaintance, as we'll as on othe accounts, which
render it proper that Mr. Mccormick vindication
of himself against accusations exceedingly grave
preferred by one occupying high position, and
urged in spirit of bitter vindctiveness, should
pass under the eye of his many frrnds in Virginia.
They will be slow to believe him aman who would
"dishonor his bond )" and DR.. Lrd (who makes
this accusation) and all who think with him, viii
be likely to find that he is not the man to allow
his bond to be trifed with by Others.
While we cannot print the whole. we shall en-
deavor to give next week substantial statement
of this matter.
