CONGREGATIONAL.

At the meeting of the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society, held at Lee,
January 4th, DR.. Hooker made encourag-

enterprising places. DR.. Atkinson, of
Oregon, spoke of the vast extent of ter
ritory on the Pacific slope to be occupied.
Dr. Butterfeld pleaded for the building

FRENCH EVANGELICAL SYNOD.

The Rev. DIR. Burt, of Nice, France,
writes to the Presbyterian that a decree
has been issued by President Theirs, pro-
viding for meeting of the Reformed
Church of France in National Synod
This action has deeply stirred the whole
French Protestant world, as we'll it
might in view of the fact that such a
meeting has not been permitted for more
than two hundred years. The last Syn
cd was held in 1896, and adjourned to
meet, with the good pleasure of his maj
esty," in three years. For one reason
and another that 'good pleasure" has
never been given. DIR. Burt hopes that
the meeting will be productive of happy
results, particularly in purifying the
Church of its rationalistic elements,
which, he believes, will be out-voted
he predicts also that the Synod will adopt
an orthodox Confession, and organize the
national Church on an evangelical basis.
The Synod will not, however, be held
for some months to come.

cradle discussion, the overture was adopt

ROMAN CATHOLIC.
The difficulty between Father Stack,
of Williamsport, Pa, and his bishop has
excited much attention within few
weeks. Father Stack favors Fenianism.
The bishop undertook to depose him sum-
marily, on a charge of carelessness or un-
faithfulness in reference to moneys col
lected to pay the debt on the church
This the bishop had right to do, under
the law governing missionary dioceses,
by which he claimed that the Church in
the United States is governed. He would
have no right to do it, however, if the
canon law governs the Church in Amer
lea. Father Stack resorted to the civil
courts. The court decided that the bish-
op must proceed by canon law, and en-
joined him against summary exercise
of authority. Father Stack is sustained
by respectable part of his Pensioners.
LOSING IN THEIR STRONGHOLD.-The

Protestants number l ,26O,560, a decrease

that trees felled in full leaf in June or
July and allowed to lie until every leaf
has fallen will then be nearly all dry, as
the leaves will not drop off themselves
until they have drawn up and exhausted
nearly all the sap of the tree. The time
required is from month to six weeks,
according to the dryness or wetness of the

poplar so treated and cut up and put in
place in less than a month after the
leaves have fallen has never shown the

LIME ON GREEN SwARD.-A writer
in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural
Society, describing the permanence of
the action of lime, says that he knows
piece of ground containing one hundred

nothing but heath. A good dressing of
lime was applied on the surface of the
sward, which has nearly doubled its value.
This was done several years ago, and
totally eradicated the heath The lime,
to this day, appears in full action.

ticle, for illustration;
"December %, 1868. On an amendment to the
Deficiency Appropriation bin, that no bounties
except such Ms are now provided by law shall be-
paid to any person cnlisting after the fifth day Of
January next Mr., Buckalew voted nay"
Upon this tho Commercial says:
"He voted ngainst paying bounties to volun.
tccrs. lie would have deprived the soldier of all
bounties because he hated the cause for which
they fought and wanted to discourage the enlist
ment Of volunteers
In fact the bill in question was for
an appropriation Of twenty millions
of dollars "for the payment of boun-
tics and advanced pay" to soldiers,
and | was for il heartily and voted for
it's passage. The record shows that L

imously. The amendment mentioned
above, against which voted, was On
amendment TO reduce bountios, or TO
prevent tho military authorities from
paying more than 500 bounty for
each soldier after 9th Of January, 1864,
whereas thoy were then paying $500
under the Presidents proclamation of
18th of October, 1868. The President
had called for three hundred thousand
mon and had promised this larger
bounty TO all who should como into
the service before the 9th of January
following, except veterans reeniisting,
who were to receive s400. The amend,
ment was simply to prevent the Pres.
ident from paying, or engaging to pay,
under any circumstances, more than
800 in the future. ] was opposed to
this amendment and voted against it,
considering II to be unwise, unjust and
impracticablo, ,unwise, because it would
discourage the filing Of the army aud
limit the Presidents discretion in case
of emergency unjust because it would
fix different rates Of compensation for
soldiers of equal merit and serving for
equal terms, and wholly impracticablc
because neither the spirit Of the coun.
try nor tho manhood Of the soldier
would sanction it. may add that II
was not maintained afterwards, for the
larger bounties were voted and paid.
For instance, tho joint resolution Of
January 10th, 1864, provided thatthe
larger bounties should continue TO be
paid from the 9th of January TO the
list Of March Of that year, and by sub
sequcnt legislation the ground taken
by mo in my vote of 22d Of December
was fully assumed and endorsed by
Congress.

he has been honest among thieves,
and ho is TO day one of the most be-

not be to strongly enforced upon the
people Of the State:
First Because the State war claims
against the General Government,
amounting TO nearly three millions Of
dollars, were permitted too long to
slumber in the hands of irresponsible
parties, and all information in regard
to the same, such as the plain act of
Assembly requires, withheld by the
Auditor General from the public and
denied TO individuals who had the
right to demand such information.
Second. Because the sinking fund,
of which the Auditor General is one
Of the commissioners, and who holds
the balance Of power in the board,
has been used, TO o large extent, by
individual favorites for speculative
purposes, instead Of being applied to
the purpose for which it was solely
crcated-the exlinguishment of the
public debt.
Third. Because due diligence has
not been used, nor have proper efforts
been made, TO sreduce our State debt
as rapidly as funds in tho Treasury
may Justify"
Fourth. Because on several occasi.
ons both General Hartranft and Gen.
eral Allen participated conspicuously
in attempts to procure legislation
which would have increased the debt
Of the Commonwealth millions of dol
