At a missionary conference held at Chetoo, Chi
ma DR.. Williamson, of the United Presbyterian
Mission, observed:
lone fact was too much overlooked by the peo-
pie at home that women formed ous-halt OF the
human race, and that in China the women were
open only to female Influence. de felt sare, II
this fact was realized in England and America tar
more ladies would come abroad to the RELIEF OF
their unfortunate and unhappy sisters.
The First Marriage Of Christian Chinaman and
Chinswomsu, in San Francisco, was celebrated 10
that city few days since, Miss Chung Fee being
led to the altar by Mr.. Loi Mong. The bride was
one OF the bridegroom's converts.
So far from rscouciling the Free Church OF Scot
land to the Established Church, the Patronage
act has, on the contrary, aroused all the more OPP
position to it. Four OF five large meetings have
lately been held at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and other
Places at which the most unequivocal sentiments
were expressed by leading Scotch ministers, such,
for instance. as Principal Rainy, DIR. Cairns, DR..
Robert Buchanan, DR.. Arnot, and others, totally
rejecting the idea that anything could win them
back to the State Church. At Edinburgh, the
run of the addresses took their tone from the
strongly worded resolution presented by Dr. Rainy
namely: THAT the continued endowment OF
one of the Presbyterian Churches in Scotland, en-
bracing only minority of the Scottish people. is
unreasonable aud indefensibe that the subsection
Of that Church to State control is obnoxious to the
known feelings and wishes of the Scottish people
that the congregation of the Established Church,
having been now invested with the right of eectlng
their own ministers, ought also to assume the re-
sponsibility of self-support and that the endow-
ments enjoyed by the Established Church ought
therefore to be now withdrawn, due regard being
had to existing life interests.

Died, January 9th, in Powhatan county, Va, Mrs.
MARTHA j. ALLEN, wife of John A. Allen.
AS devoted wife, fond and faithful mother, a
kind benevolent friend, and pious consistent fol-
lower of Christ, and member of the Presbyterian
church, she had done well her part in the family in
the community, and in the church; and in ali these
relations of life has left many hearts sorrow stricken
by her loss. In connection with her pious husband
she had trained her six children and led them all IN
childhood TO Christ. Walking with her in the way
of lite, three OF them had already one by one, en-.
tered before her the pesrly gates the other three
with their sorrowing father follow on but may they
hnger yet many days to dispense blessings around
them in their pilgrimage.

The community and church in Lexington, Va
mourn the loss OF most estimsble and much loved
member Mrs. CATHERINE 81. CoNPToN, relct of
James Compton.
A few weeks ago, she left US in her usual health,
to visit her daughter, Mrs. David Dunlop, residing
in Petersburg, There she was taken sick, and after
brief season OF suffering closed her useful lite in
peaceful oeath. her remains were brought 10 Lex
lngton, and In the midst of large assembly of her
friends and ghbors, were laid In their final rest
ng-place by side of those of the husband of her
youth,
She was in her seven ieth yesr-s ripe old age,
having been filed up with works of duty and use
tulness. She left two and three daughters who
viii cherish as their richest and sacred earthly
heritage, the memory of her affection, solicitude,
and untirlng self. sacrifice and devotion, on their
behalf. But not her own family, but the entire
community In winch she dwelt so long, shared In
the daily oenetacLions OF her unbounded kindness.
All OF US claim the privilege OF minghng our griefs
with the tears OF the afflicted household
In early life she united with the Presbyterian
church and to the last adorned her Christian pro-
tession with cody, prayertul walk and converse
uon 1t has Deen mentioned that her end was
peaceful 1t was more. 1t WAS triumphant
throughout her illness her words were the utter
snces Of unwaverlng faith and unclouded assurance.
Toward the end they became the language OF trans
porting rapture. Sne died procaiming the pre-.
ciousness OF her Saviour TO her soul.
