Higginsvills, Mo.-The Presbytery of Lafayette,
1--WE learn from the Rev. f. R. Gray) had very
pleasant and earnest meeting in Tulo church at
Higginsvile. Ii was more like the Presbyterial
meetings held forty years ago than those held of
late years in Missouri. The preaching TO large
congregations, was earnest, and seemed specially
suited to the state OF the audience. Nine were
added to the communion of the Tulo church, five
by examination and tour by letter. One peculiar
ity OF this Presbyterian meeting was that the men,
bers did not hurry away as soon as they had given
their votes on some exciting question. Nearly all
remained through the Sabbath. and few through
Monday and even then took lingering adieu.-
