and their children, adopt this mode gratefully to
acknowledge the receipt of Christmas box for
the present season. from the ladies of the First
Presbyterian churca, Baltimore, through W. W.
Spence; which they were so kind as to send as
ian offering of friendship" as well as of Chris
tan love-" and which was well laden with articles
useful, valuable, and pleasing and which, coming
wholly unexpectedly, gave them new occasion tc
bless God for the existence of His dear people
around them on the earth, to thank Him for his
own unspeakable gift aud to thank those deal
people themselves, to whom He grants the privi
lege of being His instruments to bless and cheer
the hearts of His ministers.

West Hanover Presbytery and Sustentation
UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, |
Decemher 25th. 1860

UNION THEOLOGICAL DEMlNAh1,
December 25th, 1869.
To the Reu. James Woodrow, d., Treasurer OF
ASsembh'S Committee Of SuStentation:
Rev. and Dear Sir,-The showing of your tab
ular statement, published in the Central Pcssi'.
tlriaa of December lst, touching the a~se Sus-
tentation in West Hanover is notifying to the
friends Of this old and feeble Presbytery. Did we
not know the deep poverty of nearly all our peo-
pie, it would be more notifying. But while she
has undoubtedly received more than she has con-
tributed for Sustentation, your figures do her un-
intentional injustice in saying that, since NoVem'
Der LIST, 1866, she has received $lS75, and con.
tributed only $S09.Sl. The minutes of the AS
sembly of 1867 credit the churches of West
Hanover with 1886 paid for Sustentation, for
Domestic Missions, " the minutes for 1868 with
$40; the minutes of 1869, with $525. 1t is well
known that while these Presbyterial statistics Of
ten err by defect, they never err, in the money
columns, by excess. Indeed, it is impossible they
should do So for they are revised in open Presby-
terry and not a cent is entered in there until
reported by pastor and session as actually paid.
Some collections which were made may be omitted,
by reason of absence of members from the Presby-
terry at its spring meeting; none can be entered
that were never made. We have here then an
aggregate of 1881 instead of 5000 81. Moreover,
there are now in the hands of the Presbyterial
Treasurer contributed by our churches prior to
November 1st, 5000, which are subject to your
order.
l do not state these facts to show that oul
churches have done all their duty but from a sense
of justice. Give the culprit her due, if she is a
culprt. Respectfully yours, &c,
R. L. DABNEY, Chairman
Presbyterial Committee of SustentStion.

made in heat with bitter and extreme denuncia'
tons that not founded in fact or fair argument
But it is plain that these brethren could not be
we'll contented under any proper, genuine Presby-
terianism. So it is altogether best for them to
depart and may peace be with them, as we trust
it will be also with the Presbytery from which they
| have separated themselves.

Ere and marine insurance. 1t is published in
Richmond by Mr. VIM. p Gretter editor and
proprietor. 1t is neatly prepared, and may be OBJ
tanned at s. a year. The great and increasing
amount of business In this line, seems to call for
periodical specially devoted to its interests. The
reader viii find in the pages of Mr.. Gretter's pa
per much that is instructive and interesting
While we believe the principle upon which ias,rr.
ancs proceeds to be right and proper, and Also
under strict regulations, highly beneficial to the
public, yet there are few if any things now before
it which more imperatveIy demand the iuterpOsi-
ton of law. Without this the country will be
flooded with irresponsible concerns, extravaganza
reckless, and running swiftly to ruin. 1t is hoped
that this subject will command the earliest atten-
ton Of the Legislature Of Virginia, if it ever has
one; and we are very much gratj6ed to find in this
journal an able and interesting communication on
this very point, from the pen of W. G. Darlington,
ESQ, President Of the Piedmont and Arlington

THE CYCLE OF EARTHQUAKES.

Severe earthquakes, almost if not quite
simultaneous in their action, occurred last
month on several parts of this continent and
the opposite sides of the world, in Japan.
AT Oaxaca, in Mexico the first convulsion
occurred at / /: 80 of the night of May IL,
continuing on the following day, May II,
and at Japan at twenty minutes before 5
on the morning of May 13. Allowing for
differences of longitude and time, these
earthquake shocks were at most but q few
hours apart, and in all probability identical
in point Of time. AT Oaxaca, which is a
substantially built town, two hundred years
old, heavy convent and palace walls and
towers were shaken into ruins, killing and
manning many unfortunate people. The
known deaths were 103 The whole city
was SO badly shattered that an additional
shock would have thrown it all down. But
little is yet known of the damage done in
Japan beyond the great terror.
Two hundred miles out from Yokohama,
to the southeast, the captain of the Bene-
factress observed submarine volcano, in
violent eruption, and the volcano ON the
island of Niphon. in Japan, was in the
same state. 1t will be remembered that
on the 18th of May, an earthquake shock
was felt in Perryville, Ala, Charleston, S.
c.. and Shreveport, La. There were
shocks in Arkansas on the 11th of May,
and in the French West India Island of
Guadoloupe on the 10th. But the simulta-
Qeous character of the violent commissions
on the IL. II, and 18th of May in Mexico
and Japan, on opposite sides of the globe,
with nearly the whole of the earth's eight
thousand miles of diameter between them,
leads to the belief that the same mighty in
ternal throes produced them all, and shows
that what we regard as the vast solid bulk
of the earth is but a fragile crust when
assailed by the tremendous energies con-
tained beneath its surface.

CHEWING GUM.

The following, clipped from an ex-
change, will be of interest to many who
cannot find sufficient employment for
their masticators at the table: Chewing
gum is made at Poduck, Massachusetts,
of gum arabic, rosn and coarse.fat. The
following will be interesting to girls who
keep their jaws wagging by gum power:
ANY kind of fat, even that of dead dogs
is used in the manufacture. and when all
the ingredients are placed in boiling ket-
ties, II small quantity of the most nauseous
liquid foam is put in to whiten the gum
When this fact is known, girls have per-
feet right to chew gum if they want to.
An adventure reminding one of the old
story of Israel Putnam is going the
rounds of the western press. The depre-
dations of the wolves of Franklin county,
Miss, induced the farmers to organize a
wolf hunt. Excitement was abundant for
seven hours, during which time half
dozen wolves were killed and as MANY
dogs badly injured, when the wolves re-
tired to their den, followed by the dogs.
it soon became evident the dogs were be-
ing badly used, and their rescue was de-
termined on at all hazards The smallest
man in the crowd, Mr.. F. c. Huff, con-
sented to enter the den, a comrade hold
ing him by the heels as he descended. 1t
was found necessary to go further than
was expected, and another man held, or
heeled, to speak technically, No. 2.
When Mr.. HUFF got into the den he csught
a dog by the leg, gave signal, No. 3
pulled No. ., No. pulled Mr.. Huff, Mr..
Huff pulled the dog, and the dog pulled
wolf. The hunt ended with good results,
and there are a few less in the large num-
Der of wolves infesting that country, and
killing dogs and sheep daily g
