WE are indebted to DIR. 81. West,
among other favors for copy of
the following important. resolution
by the late General Assembly at Chica-
go Of which he was a member. We
are glad to see our churches taking a
definite stand upon the subject of
temperance.
XVI. Lipator-selling Church Mem
6ers.-The Presbyteries of Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia Central send an over
ture relative to this matter, and the
following deliverance is adopted by
the Assembly; This General Assem-
bly,, believing the manufacture, sale,
and use of alcoholic stimulants as a
beverage, to be contrary to the spirit of
Gods word, and wholly inconsistent
with the claims of Christian duty,
reiterate the testimonies ,,of former As
semblies on the subject. 1t also affirns
its conviction of the reprehensible:
completely in the guilt of the aforsaid
traffic, of those who knowingly rent
their premises for such purpose, or in
dorse licenses, or legalize it. And
further to give emphasis to the action,
the Board of Publication is directed
to print an abstract of such former testi-
monies as cover the points referred to
in the overtures, and send a copy to
each pastor, etc., in the Church, with
the direction of the Assen bly, to read
the same publicly from his pulpit
Finally, the general circulation of a
temperance paper is recommended,
and the Board of Publication is re-
quested to add such other treatises as
may be adapted, to It's present list.
On the question to adopt the report
of the Committee on Bills and Over
lures on the temperance question, the
Rev. r. NJ. Patterson said he heartily
concurred in this report. He felt just
now a special interest in this question,
and was glad that such a decided pa
per had been reported by the Com
mittee. He wanted it, however, to be
sovoted upon that it could not be said
Ii had passed among a great number of
reports, in the last hours Of the session
and without being fully understood
He therefore called the special atten-
ton of the Assembly to it, and inquir-
ed whether it was distinctly under
stood that among the deliverance of
preceding Assemblies now proposed to
to be feaffirmed, was included that of
the Assembly of 1865 (Old Sch ool)
which met in Pittsburg.
The Rev.sW. E. Moore, clerk of the
Committee, replied that such was the
meaning Of the paper.

4 The wheat harvest is rapidly ap
preaching. The wheat bids fair to b
good in quality, but will probably bt
considerably below last years crop in
quantity. The oats have improved
very much lately, they have cast of
their yellow dress, and are now "all
IdreSsed in living green," yet they dc
not promise an abundant yield. The
icorn is growing spIendidly. There is
tput little barley sown, and it is quite

work about the 10Th inst. 1t exceeds

two hours, and then it was near enough
dead to be finished by setting my heel
on It.
The lady-bugs are on the potato vines
in strong force. Il is said that they
| live exclusively on the eggs and larvae
| of other insects. The larvae or young
lady-bug is very different looking in
lsect from its parent. When full grown
they are about three eighths of an inch
long; color, light blue, with two light
red or pink spots on the sides, two rows
of small black dots on their back; and
they move rapidly ON six large black
legs. When full grown they fasten the
hind part of their body to leaf, slip
off its "eoat of many colors," and ap-
pears before the world dressed in orange
with four black dots on each side, a.
black dot on its shoulders. and fine
black streak along its head. Its head is
black with fine white lines about the
eyes; in size and shape it resembles one
half of a small pea. In its last or perfect
state it is furnished with wings. IL
give this description that it may be
distinguished from insects that.are in
furious to the farmer.
