of the parish shouldered $4,000 of
the indebtedness. Rev. MIR. Walden

DURING the past week meetings
have been held every evening in
Trinity Church, and a growing inter

members of the church, and some
who are not professors. W. presume

ing in all the churches.
Rev. W. w. CURRY, Universalist
clergyman at Terre Haute, is down
on capital punishment. We notice.
however, that he takes care to argue
the question from the orthodox
standpoint. IF there is to be no
punishment for such wretches as
Morgan in the future world, surely
their crimes should be punished in
the present.
HERALD AND PREsBYTER. - Since
the consolidation of the Two Presby-
terrain papers CT Cincinnati, under
this name, there has been a decided
improvement in the united paper, and
it merits the hearty support of the
whole Presbyterian Church. We cor
daily commend it as an able exponent
of Presbyterianism. 1t has already a
large circulation in this city, but il
deserves to be in every family of the
denomination. A club is now being
formed, We learn, aud are requested
to state that subscriptions can be LEFT
with Mr.. Warren, cashier of the Posi-
Office.

place the paper IN a permanent basis.

He has long held a leading position

CATHOLICISM IN PRUSSIA. TIL
Berlin Statistical Bureau has latch
instituted an inquiry into the STATE
of Catholicism In Prussia, which
has proved that Professionalism is OF
the increase Ia all parts of the king
dom. During the last nine years tn
number Of Roman Catholics In Pome
rama and the Saxon Provinces ha
positively decreased, and there is no
a single district 10 which their in
crease is proportionate to the growth
of the population. 1t further appear
that this change is not the result o
accident, or of a strong momentar,
impulse, but continuous aud general
and the Protestant Churchlis every
where slowly but surely >gaiuin
ground.
