RELIGIOUS ITEMS. The Annual Missionary Meeting in Trinity M. E. Church, will take place to-morrow morning at the usual hour lor morning service. This is generally regarded as an occasion of unusual interest hy Methodists, and we presume the Church will be well filled. Street Preaching. Another sermon will be preached to-morrow afternoon near the corner of Main and TbirdiStreets. Rev. Aaron Turner, of Ingle Street Church, will preach. These meetings are becoming very interesting to all who attend them. Services by the various religious denominations will be held to-morrow as usual. We have heard of no change whatever. In our local columns will be found a full and complete report of the ceremonies attending the dedication of the Jewish Synagogue in this city. The exercises were imposing and interesting, and a very large crowd was in attendance. Cumberland Presbyterian. The Corner Stone of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Boonville, Warrick County, was laid with appropriate ceremonies on yesterday. A discourse was delivered by Rev. J. C. Bowden, of this city, from Isaiah, xxvi, 5: God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved," and some eloquent remarks were made by Rev. W. W. Rundell, of the M. K. Church, Rev. J. Haas, German M. E. Church, and Rev. Peter Goebel Lutheran, spoke in German. Gen. J. M. Shackelford followed with a very happy speech. The people responded liberally to his appeal for funds. The enterprise was put beyond peradventure, and the church will go up. It will be a beautiful structure, in Gothic style. The day was a joyous one for the congregation, and passed off pleasantly to the large assembly in attendance. We are requested to say that the Sunday School of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in this city opens at 9 o'clock. It is a most delightful place to spend an hour on Snnday morning. Young gentlemen are earnestly invited to come in and join the classes. Preaching at 10 o'clock, by the Pastor, Rev. J. V. Bowden. Also, services at 7 p. m. Prayer meeting Wednesday evening at 7i o'clock. Old-School Presbyterian Statistics in the West and North -West. The Presbyter, in a plea for the endowment of the Chicago Theological Seminary, states that the OldSchool Presbyterians in the West are abundantly able to raise $50,000, and gives the number of communicants as follows: synods. No. of Communicants. Cincinnati 10,8." Sandusky 3,172 Indiana 6,514 Northern Indiana 5,882 Chicago 0,013 Illinois 8,046 St. Paul 1,174 Iowa 3,343 Southern Iowa 3,486 Wisconsin 2,322 Kansas 704 Missouri 7,800 Total 59,314 Personal. Bishop Baker has reached his home at Concord, N. H., from the Colorada Conference. Rev. Levi Tarr, of the Indiana Female College, has resigned his posi

tion, with the intention of resuming the pastoral work. Rev. W. H. Milburn, the celebrated blind preacher, has taken charge of Trinity Church, (Episcopalian) Chicago, during the absence of Dr. Cummings in Europe. W. H. Ramsey, of EdwardsviMe, Illinois, supposed to have taught the first Sabbath School in the State, died on the 8th ult., in the 71st year of his age. " Armageddin " Baldwin has a new work on prophesy in press, intitled " America, or the predicted solution of Mystic Prophesy. Dr. Peter Cartwright writes that he has been a regular itinerant preacher for sixty-two years, during which time he has not lost six months by sickness, and never received the small sum or salary allowed, but two years. When he entered the work there were but seven annual Conferences now there are sixty. Bishop Morris, at the last session of the Erie Conference, was presented with a copy of the Bible, printed in England in 1766, the same year the first Methodist sermon was preached in America. Dr. E. D. M'Master was elected by the last Old School Presbyterian General Assembly to the chair of Didactic and Polemic Theology in the Seminary of the Northwest. Some ten years ago, when the Synodical Semi

nary in Indiana was transferred to the Assembly and removed to Chicago, it was understood to be with a view to get rid of Professor M'Master and Thomas, who were zealous abolitionists. Dr. M. was superseded by Dr. N. L. Rice, of St. Louis, and the Seminary was supported by the funds of Cyras M'Cormick, the great reaper. Now Thomas is the leading spirit of the Assembly, and M'Master is restored to his place by a vote of ten to one. Prksbyterian Statistics. The Minutes of the General Assembly New School are just published, and show a gratifying increase during the past year. We give the following summary: 1866. 1866.

The Name. Speaking of the proposed change of name from the Methodist Episcopal Church South" to the " Episcopal Methodist Church," the editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate says: "We have been as far north as Newport, and as far south as Russellville points nearly three hundred miles apart since the adjournment of the General Conference ' and have seen many preachers and people from many different localities in the State, and have arrived at the conclusion that nine-tenths, if not uineteen-twentieths, of our people are opposed to the change." A New Book for Sunday Schools. We have been shown, nays the Christian Advocate, the proof-sheets of a new and unique Sunday-school volume, entitled, " Select Lessons from the Holy Scriptures, adapted to Responsive Reading in Sunday Schools. By H. Mattisou, "D.D." It consists of two hundred lessons, averaging twenty-one verses each, selected from all portions of the Bible, embracing all that is best adapted to interest and benefit the young, and arranged to be read responsively by the Superintendent and the school, iu alternate verses. It can be used either with or without Bibles. The print is clear and beautiful, and the size convenient, and the book, of 216 pages, is to sell for 30 cents. Protestant Reform. The following statements were made by Dr. Taechella, of Italy, before the New York Preachers' Meeting: 1. Several evangelical denominations have made sensible progress since 1860 in Italy. 2. A body of more than twelve thousand priests and dignitaries, representing some thirty or forty thousand, have decreed the suppression of the temporal as well as of the spiritual power of the Pope, and want to abolish the auricular confession and obligatory celibacy; to introduce Gods Word, liberty of conscience, and make other vital reforms in the Church. 8. Parliament, by a uiiijnrity of one hundred and thirty votes, has just proclaimed the complete dissolution of every convent, nunnery, and monastery. 4. All these extraordinary act- are, as in the sixteenth century iu Germany aud England, the sacred ami surest harbingers ot a glorious Protestant reform. The salary of the President of the Indiana Asbury University, Greencastle, is $1,600 oer vear. and of the

professors. $1,350. The professors iu the Ohio Wesleyan University receive $1,500 per annum. The Preachers of North Indiana Conference and the Centenary. The members of the North Indiana Conference are doing well in the way of personal contributions to the Centenary cause. Thev are giving from $25 to $200 each. " there not being a single case of declination to contribute. The total amount from them will probably reach from $5,000 to $10,000. DENTISTS. DRS. HAAS & COOKE, Surgeon Ientists.

MEDICAL.

DR. JOHN BULLS COMPOUND Cedron Bitters ! THE LATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF THE 19th CENTURY. NO MAN'S NAME 18 MORE IXtlmately connected with the history of Materia Medica in the United States, or more favorably known as a pioneer of medical discovery, than that of DR. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, Kentucky His inimitable preparation of Sarsaparilla has long stood at the head of the various compounds of that valuable drug. His Compound of Wild Cherry nas become a household word throughout the West and South. His Worm Lozenges, in less than a year after their introduction, attained a reputation as wide-spread as the continent of North America. But the crowning glory of his life remained to be attained in his latest discovery, or rather combination, for he does not claim to be the discoverer of CEDRON, wiiich is the basis of the Bitters now offered to the public. That honor belongs to the native inhabitants of Central America, to whom its virtues have been known for more than two hundred years. Armed with it, the Indian bids defiance to the most deadly malaria, aud handles without fear the most venomous serpents. It is a belief with them that while there is breath left in the body the CEDRON is potent to cure, no matter what the disease may be. While Dr. Bull is not prepared to indorse this extravagant pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied, from a thorough examination of the evidence relating to Its virtues, that as a remedy and preventive for all diseases arising from exposure, either to changes of weather and climate, or to the miasmatic influence, it stands without a rival, and justly deserves the reputation it has so long enjoyed In Central America aud the West Indies. In DYSPEPSIA, and its attendant train of symptoms, it acts more like a charm than a medicine. There is nothing in the range of Materia Medica that can for a moment bear a comparison with it In this disease. A full account of this wonderful plant may be found in the eleventh edition of the U. 8. Dispensatory', on pages 1.187 and 1388. A series of experiments, in which Dr. Bull has been lor years engaged, litis lust beeu brought to a successful termination, and he is now enabled to offer to the public a combination of Cedron with other approved tonics, the whole preserved in the best quality of copper-distilled Bourbon Whisky, which he is confident has no equal in the world. He might furnish a volume of certificates, but the public has long since learned to estimate such things at their true value. The safest plan is lot every one to test for himself the virtues ot a new medicine. Give the CEDRON BITTERS one trial, and you will never use any others. It is not necessary to publish a long list of diseases of which the Cedroa Bitters are a specific, In all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, or Bowels; in all Attiitions of the Brain, depending upon Derangement of the Stomach and Bowels; in (oiit. Rheumatism, aud Neuralgia, and in FEVER AND AO UK, it is destined to supersede all others. It not only cures these diseases, but prevents them. A wineglassftil of the Bitters, taken an hour before each meal, will obviate the ill effect of the most unhealthy climate, and screen the person taking it against diseases, under the most t tying exposure.
