undertaken on a small scale, and
with some doubt as to the result,
has proved so Successful that in
nearly every portion Of the State,
and mOre particularly in the
Northern and WesterR portions,
the planters look to this sOnyce
almost entirely to procure bsnds
to till their lands. At Okalona
where there is an emigraRtsOciety,
five hundred emigrants have been
brought into that section, a great
many of whom have gone to work
for the planters already settled
there, while others have bought or
rented lands, and are working
them on their own account. The
Aberdeen Examiner says that q
large number of Swedes, Danes
and other foreign immigrants have
lately arrived in that section OF
Mississippi, and have thus far
given their employers the most
entire satisfaction. Papers from
other parts Of the State also men
ti0n the arrival of numbers of
Scandinavians and immigrants
from other foreign uations, who
readily obtain employment, and
are proving much more valuable

but on condition that his health would be suf-
icientIy restored by reason OF rest to justify n
resumption Of his pastoral labors. During tbs
time that Mr.. .. has ministered TO this chureh,
it has grown very rapidly, and the member
ship will deplore the necessity for change of
pastors. 1t was generally hoped that three
months vacation would restore his health, but
we opine that he did not rest much during his
vacation. Some men cannot rest when they
see work TO do, and Mr.. o. Is one Of them.
During his season Of rest y. we heard Of him
preaching and organizing achurch at Burling-
ton; then at Topeka, taking an active part In
the work Of the Synod. lie is no half hand
wherever he works. What his hands find to
do he does with his might. And as this Is an
important field, and one that requires full and
vigorous work, and feeling deep interest in
the welfare OF the church he has labored so
diligently and successfully to build up, he de-
clines the passionate in order that a stouter man
may be found to carry on the good work.
Mr.. Overstreet will remain with us, and will
go into some business for year or TIVE at least,
the character of which he has not yet deter
mined. He is eminently practical man, with
a versatility of qualifications that will enable
him to take up almost any branch of business
and manage it successfully, and with all the
characteristics of mind and heart that will win
friends for him in whatever capacity he may
conclude to employ his business powers.
Rev. Albert McAlla, of Chicago, who spent
last Sabbath in the city, and preached so ac-
ceptably to the Presbyterian congregation, is
expected to succeed Mr.. o., and will soon re-
turn to commence his labors among us. Till
then Rev. D. j. Mcmillan will continue to
supply the pulpit.

NEW CHURCH.-At n meeting of the Baptist
Society on Tuesday of last week, committee
were appointed to solicit subscriptions and
contract for the erection of church. The So
liciting committee have been remarkably sue
cessful, having obtained within a week sub
scriptions aggregating over two thousand
dollars, all OF which was subscribed by re-
sDonsible men, and the payment of every dollar
subscribed can be depended on. The cost OF
the church or chapel was first limited to 81, OOO
but as that amount was readily raised, the
society will doubtless erect better building
than they at first contemplated. The site for
this church is a very good one. Three beauti-
full lots, cornering ON Merchants street and
Fourth avenue, we're donated to the society fol
church editice more than year ago, and the
| erection of u building on these lots will be
| commenced next week. There are quite q
| number of this denomination in the city and
vicinity, and strong, vigorous church will b'
| added by the Baptists to the number of church
es in our prosperous city. Rev. A. NJ. Averill
| the pastor, takes hold OF the work as one wh'
knew how, and is making many friends in thu
| community.

TO accommodate all on the ground at one time,
Notwithstanding the plates were closely laid
along each side. The ladies who arranged and
superintended the table deserve special credit
for it. Every body enjoyed themselves, and
every body will say that the Methodists of EN-

know how to get up n festival. The total re-
ceipts amounted to s.. We hope they will
be encouraged to get up another affair of the
