THE CALVARY SOCIETY," This is the
name of religious Society which was
organized in this city last week. 1t is
created by the union of the congrega-
tions of the Presbyterian and Congre-
gational Churches, and now holds re-
Iigious services and Sabbath School at
the church of the latter denomination.
AS the membership of each of these
denominations was too small to pay
liberal salary 10 o minister it was
thought best to unite them for o few
years. This was accordingly done, the
two churches uniting for a period OF
three years under the above name, each
one preserving its identity as sepa-
rate denomination We are glad to
see this, for, as their doctrinal differ
ences are very slight, they can thus
work together in the general cause to
a much greater advantage, and at the
same time can add to the membership
of each of the denominations that
compose the society. The following
officers of the society have been elect
ted and will serve to January lst, 1876;
Clerk, f. F. Sox; Treasurer, DR.. Plum
mer; Executive Committee, Nelson
Wright and Profs. Warren and Aber-
nethy. The services Of minister who
will devote the whole of his time to
this congregation will be secured by
the first of January, but until that
time Rev. E, r. Geary will occupy the
pulpit every alternate Sabbath. The
sabbath School conducted by this So
ciety is held at half past two in the
afternoon, and though it has only been
in operation one or two weeks is already
one Of the largest and best conducted
in our city.

Dated, Albany, Dec. 9th 1874.


A SAD AFFAIR.-We noticed fu-
neral procession leaving Monteith's
building last Wednesday, and upon in
quiring into the circumstances we were
told very melancholy tale. A mar
ried couple left Missouri for Kansas a
year or two ago, and had just got COM
fortably settled whenIthe grasshoppers
came along and destroyed everything
they had raised. They then sold out
for about enough money to pay their
fare to this city, where they arrived o
week or SO ago. The wife and babe
about seven months old We're taken
sick during the journey, and the latter
lived only few days after arriving in
this city. Grief for her lost child bore
heavily upon the poor mother and as
she was completely worn out by the
hardships of the journey across the
plains, she survived only a few days
and was then taken and buried by her
babe. The father payed for the use of
two carriages at the funeral, but when
MIR. Canon heard that he was nearly
penniless, and also had four small
children to provide for, he immediate
ly started around among our citizens
and in little while had received $50 or
$40 for the .emigrant which he turned
over together with the money paid to
him for the use of his carriages. There
are many parallel cases to this through
out our State this fall, and the people
ought to hunt them up and lend help
ing hand to the poor homeless emf
grants.
