CHURCH STATlSTICs.-The vicinity of

noted for the intelligence, thrift, enterprise
and morality OF its people, and no commu-
nifty as a class can boast OF more gener ]
prosperity or greater number Of b ONE at
fractions. A popularity OF the neighbour
hood is the deep interest the people take lie
their church and the zeal they manifest in
all Its concerns. The Mt. Horeb Presbyte-
! rian chulch, which was organized in 1857
with nine members, has now one OF the
most prosperous congregations in the Valley,
and the sphere of It's beneficent Influence is
gradually widening. Last month, the Pas.
tor, Rev. Thos. NJ. Boyd. one Of the ablest
and best ministers of the Presbytery, in
reviewing the progress Of the year, and
referring to the past history of the church,
made public the following statistics: To the
nine original members there have been
added l67 others, about q have died, 81 have
been dismissed to other churches and Is
were classed as missing and delinquent
Eighty-fou children have been baptized
During four years the amo unit Of money
raised for all purposes was $4,675. The
Ladies Aid Society, organized about five
years ago, has raised and expended 5000
Taking into consideration the size of the
church, and tie fact Of It's having been vacant
for some time previous to the present pas
tor taking charge, the exhibit made is
certainly encouraging aud well deserving
