SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS.
PRESBYTERIAN.

On a late Sabbath twenty-six were added to
the Rev. DR.. Burgetts church, Mobile, Alabama,
and fourteen to the jackson street Presbyterian
church in the same city.
The Presbytery of Monongahela has raised
during the current year about three thousand
dollars over its apportionment for the various
boards and purposes OF the church. This is
good.
The Edinburgh and Glasgow Free Presby-
teries have discussed the question of union with
the United Presbyterians with great deal of
acrimony. Although the majority favored union,
the harmony was not such as to promise speedy
consummation.
The Presbytery of Nassau is in trouble be-
cause it's Throop avenue German church does
not understand the American Sabbath, A baker
sells bread on Sunday, and says he cannot help
il: and cigar dealer iustifes his open store on
the ground that an OK or an ass can be pulled
out of a pit on the Sabbath day. The matter
was postponed for further consideration.
Mr.. Baudreau has collected a French con-
gregation in Chicago, which has been taken up
BY the Presbyterian denomination there, and
the Board of Missions is requested to meet any
deficiency. As he has done this work under the
auspices of the American and Foreign Christian
Union, it looks like separating Presbyterian
mission-work more completely from voluntary
organizations.
1.-THE Pittsburg Presbytery of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church voted, at a meeting held
April q, in favor of uniting with the Presbyte-
rian Church (the united Old and New-School
bodies), and appointed commissioner to meet
the Presbyterian General Assembly in Phiadel-
phia in May and consummate the union. At
the tine on the PreshPtel IAN unlAa in Pittsburg
last Noyember a basis was proposed to the
psalm-singing Presbyterian churches, allow
ing i such churches. IN case of
unlOa.Io remain -asdigturbed fs-tsAeir modes
ofW 40 and prudential usages. On this basis
the + Nburg Reformed Presbyterian Presbytery
accept the proffer of union. 1t will also be re-
memberedthat this Peesbytery, took umbrage at
the action of its own Synod IN May, 1863, in
GNrxaw fn. l,fv
ming in other church assemblies and for sing
ing other than the zone hundred aud fifty
Psalms"

SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 8, 1870.
DEAR POWER Il really feel thankful to
my friends, McLaran & Williams, for the
complimentary pay me in asking that 1 be
appointed one of the committee to award
the premium they offer for the "best looking
baby" at your coming State Fair,
The baby question / consider the most
important of questions-(especially as Bill
Arp says the raising of boy babies-though
1 do love the girls too)-and one that should
be encouraged. And am sure our people
will well appreciate and applaud the praise
worthy efforts Of our friends, McLaran &
Williams, in this behalf. Yet would con-
slider myself too gallant in the presence of
all the babies, and especially their mothers
and other kin-folks, to pronounce any par
ticular baby better looking than another.
couldn't do it--especially when each par
ticular mother asserts her own to be 1.-THE
prettiest little darling in the world"
really regret will be unable to be at
the Fair. Ihope. however, that all the BA-
BIEs and the rest Of mankind will be there.
Your friend, truly,
L. MINIS.

THE FAIR GRoUNDs.-A glance at
the Fair Grounds, from the rear of the Cap
itol, reveals a remarkable change within
the past few months. What before seemed
sombre and uninviting, is now bright and
attractive. The buildings, sheds and fence,
have been thoroughly white washed. A
great many improvements have been made
which the visitor of last year will not fail to
appreciate. The machinery shed is now
one hundred and fifty feet in length, and
will be filled to its capacity. The main en-
CINE, shafting, etc., are now being placed in
position. The grand mile race-track is the
admiration of all who survey it from the
ampitheatre, and the particular delight Of
horsemen, who have been using it freely for
several weeks. The upper floor Of the min
building has been arranged for proper dis
play of needle and fancy work, works of art,
fruit, wines, etc. An octagon galinarum, or
poultry house, with thirty-two apartments,
has been erected to the north of the main
building. Some eight or ten establishments
have been erected by private enterprise for
the convenience ofvisitors who may become
hungry or thirsty. Altogether, the i'm
provements are many and judicious. and
indicate what may be done as the ability Of
the Association shall justify.
