The reports OF the growing winter
wheat crop are, quite conflicting,
though aggregating reports from Mis-
souri,, il may bc said that in the north
eastern part of the State the crop will
probably prove a failure, while in the
northwestern and in all the counties
north of the Missouri River fair av-
cragc yield may be expected. The
WentlviIle (St. Charles county, News
says: From present indications the
wheat crops of that county will be
very short this year. The amount
sown was sluallcr than usual, and il

The Poll Evil.

This pcrnicious "evil" is caused by
a horse humping the top of his head
against the timber above him in u low
stable. Hence, an eflcctual Prereatu-
tire which is worth score of reaec-
dics--is to build horse stables SD high
that the beams and joists above can
not be reached when horse throws
up his head.
w. l.. Dung gives the following
directions, in MOore's kaTol .NcW
Yorker, for treating the poll evil:
"Csst the horse and cut the affected
part out, always keeping in view that
the incision must be with the grain of
the flesh, SO that no arteries be cut of /;
then You have only flesh wound to
heal. There arc many things that will
cleanse the wound and heal the sore.
AS good as | have ever tried is to
take mandrake root, washed clean and
boiled down to a strong solution,
bathing two or three times per day.
Another is cr0cus martis, one drachm !;
white vitriol, one Ounce-thOroughly
mixed. Use one tablespoonful to ono
quart of soft water. This is also one
of the best of solutions for the human
flesh in any form, where there is any
intlamatiOn.' t..

PresbYterY of Transatlantic

Held Its spring meeting at the Pleasant Grove
church, Kentucky, April l4th. Twelve ministers
and seven ruling elders were in attendance Rev.
William Grove was elected Moderator.
Rev j. X Harris, of the Presbytery of West
Hanover; aud the Rev. w. w. Duncan, OF the
Presbytery of Louisville, were received.
Rev. NJ. Saunders requested dissolution of his
pastoral relation with the churches of Springfield
aud Pleasant Grove, in order to the acceptance OF
a call to a church in Missouri, but the churches
have manifested their decided opposition to the
dissolution Of said pastoral relation; and there
fore, be it
Resolved That, at this time, Presbytery does
not its way clear to grant the request Of broth
er Saunders.
In response to the Overture of the General As
sembly respecting the proposed New Book of
Church Order, this Presbytery expresses its judy
ment that the time is inauspiclous for such a
thorough remodelng of the Form of Government
and CanOns Of Discipline, and therefore regard it
as unnecessary to consider the New Book with a
view TO the approval or disapproval of specific
parts. And the PreSbytery further expresses its
judgment, that the only safe method OF effecting
any changes In the standards, which may be de
sired, Is by overture for the amendment OF specific
parts Of the Old Book.
| NJ, q. GOran (eandidate,) passed a satisfactory
examination on Theology. Charles n. HOgue,
| William Irvine and Morton l.. Bourne were re-
ceived under the care OF Presbytery as candidates
for the Gospel ministry.

Presbytery of Padueah

Met in MOrganfeld, Union county, Kentucky,
on the 18th instant; and after most harmonious
and pleasant meeting, adjourned to meet in Prince
ton, Kentucky, on Friday, before the fourth Sab,
bath in September 1870, at half.past o'clock,
p. NJ.
The following action was taken upon the New
Book of Order, VIZ:
The Presbytery of Paducah after a full and
free discussion of the Book Of Order sent down by
the last General Assembly, voted unanimously,
Except one elder, Hquit, against the adoption
Of the Book We are unanimous in the opinion,
that no change ought to be made in our Book of
Government and Discipline at the present time.
The Narrative of the State of Religion within
our bounds, as gathered from free conversation,
was encouraging and well calculated to call forth
the hveliest gratitude from every pious heart
The number added to the churches the hopeful
character of our Sabbath Schools and the weekly
contributions by the envelope system-all indicate
a more healthy and growing religious interest
among our churches.
