SCARCITY OF VESSELS. Cumberland coal is
rapidly accommodating at all the different coal
agencies located in this city: in consequence OF
the want of vessels to take it away. The canal
is in excellent condition, and boats are constant
ly arriving, and increasing the amount already
piled here. The same condition exists at George
town, and some of the companies doing busl'
ness there, having their yards already full, are
sending their boats down here to be unloadcd.
The orders are many, but the vessels arc few,
though freights are greatly in advance OF those
of preceding years.

did so at Pentecost, when the grand type
of christianity was fully realized. For
them, the church members having given
their whole heart to God, as led by the
Holy Ghost gave also their whole purse.
That is, said the preacher not in the

even in the case of Annanias and Sap.
phira, after their property was sold, it
was in their own power, but they yielded
all their property, so that it was in read

of the spoil, and Jacob tenth Of all and
the Israelites further down, and with
greater light and privileges, gave fourth
or even a third, the christian church, when
acting up to its real ideal and for the ac-
complishment of its real end, the world

But alas Such is not the christianity Of
to day. The name remains, but the power
under the absorption of worldly covetous,
selfish elements, is largely gone. The
money test ever has been test, if not
the test Of genuine religion. How many
churches, asked the preacher, outside of
Middlebury would submit to day to do,
individually in the support of the gospel,
what Jacob did, the lowest in the scale,
Who would consent to pay the apportion-

with thousand fold more to do, by their
stinted contributions have thousand-fold

PRESENTATION TO REV. Mr.. HUBERT.
In order that his numerous friends in
this vicinity may know the estimation in
which he was held by his late charge in
Newark, N. j., we publish the following
extract from one of the papers published

Numerous friends Of the Rev. Mr.

dence last evening, and to other proofs OF
their affection for their retiring pastor
added the gift of a valuable gold watch
and appropriate presentation address was
made as follows
Dearly beloved pastor it is the wish Of
the friends here assembled, that some
formal expression be given of their affec.
ton and of their regret in view of your
prospective departure to another field Of
labor. Let me then by few words in
their behalf and in my own, assure you
of our high appreciation of your personal
character and 5lameless life, and of your
ability, fidelity and usefulness as a minis.
ter of Christ
To have pastor who himself fully ac.
cepts Christ as his own personal Saviour
and thus can sincerely preach his gospel
as the power of God for the salvation Of
men is rich blessing to any people
Such blessing has been ours during
these years Of your sojourn among US, anc
the separation of such pastor from thii
people we deeply deplore. BE assured
that when you go from us you will beai
with you much of our affection, an undy
ing remembrance OF what you have beer
to us, and our earnest prayer for you
continued usefulness and for the happiness
of yourself and of each member Of YOU
beloved family.
There has been placed in my hands fol
delivery to you packet which will be o
value to you, and as memento will serve

were filled with men who went from one
side to the other, without much idea
where they were going, completely de-
based, their manhood gone, Keeling about
the streets, the laughing stock Of the
whole town, but for ridicule and the hor-
ror Of every right minded person. God
has given his creatures sense of right
and wrong, and it seems mystery how
they can so far forget their duty to him,
to themselves, and to society, as to take
into their systems known poison, which
will deprive them OF reason, judgment,
and often life. Temperance societies may
be organized, but they can never do any
good until they pour out the "rotgut"
from the watts of our respectable rumsel-
lers. They are curse to society,
and temperance will make but little
progress, while church members stand
behind the bar and deal out this vile
deadly poison to their fellowmen who go
Keeling home, leaving their hard earnings
behind. Home perhaps to starving
or freezing family, and the pious rumsel-
Ter goes to church and subscribed argely
for charitable purposes, with these same
hard earnings, and his fellowmen applaud
his generosity. Do such subscriptions
curse the church And does the rumsel-
Ter think he is going to heaven? Has it
not been said by some one, and is not the
saying true one, that so surely as God
made heaven, the rumseller cannot en-
ter therein" Alas can we make no ad-
vance on this great all pervading evil,
until it lays waste our fair land in ruin
and destruction mo items of inter-
