At the late meeting of the Synod of Indiana, (O. 8.) the subject oj the onion between the New and Old School branches of the Presbyterian Church was considered. The Western Presbyterian sayu: 1)1. . I). Mi-Master took the ground, In it brief, pertinent speech, that we have not sufficient evidence of entire agreement In doctrtiie hetweeu ourselves ami tin' New MclioOl to say, by resolution or Synod, lint! union ought now ti take place. He did not know whether the old difference In r gai ' to doctrine, unil tlu sense lis which our standards, are to be received, tire so far removed ii I" make a union of the lwi ixxin practicable at this time. If It should prove that these difference urn removedIhal We arc imlwi oxk In doctrine and order- none would rejoice m xeulnu m union effected more than hllusalf, But unless there Is such a unity of sentiment, organic union would scarcely in desirable. WVttearn from despatch to tho Cincinnati Gawettr that the Synod of Kentucky met at Lexington on Wednosday last. Sixty ministers aud elders were present. A number oi letters were received from the different churches, asking to be recognized as adhering to the General Assembly. It was decided that this meeting was but a continuation of the session held at Henderson. A committee was appointed to consider the propriety of directing the Presbyteries to keep their sessions open and appoint in each a number of evangelists to organize churches in a conversation on the stato of the churches, it waB found that the Assembly party were much stronger than was anticipated. The Southern Presbyterian Assembly has been in session the past week in Memphis. Among the proceedings, we notice the adoption of a report favoring the education of freed -men; and that Rev. Stuart Hobinson made a furious and slanderous attack upon the Northern Presbyterian Church. Thk Mimkion School holds its regular sessions at the Court House at half-past one o'clock Sabbath afternoon. A cordial invitation is extended to citizens and strangers. tfOTJNo Min's Christian Association. The Young Men's Christian Association of Indianapolis hold a large and interesting meeting this week. The Jour mil says: "A number of the members made reports of their visits to various localities in the southwestern part of the city-'i ft, is designed to carry forward tin work of visitation systematically, until the religious condition of every inhabitant or the oity, old and young, has been ascertained, and all spiritual wants supplied. Incidental to this main work of this Association is the ascertaining of all oases of physical distress and want, and providing suitable relief. We understand that by joint arrangement of the Y . M. Library Association and the Y. M. 0. Association, three lectures win oe delivered by Mr. Gough two for the benefit of the former, and one for the latter eome time in December. Among tho lectures and series of instruction announced for the classes of this Asssociation at Cincinnati, for the pant woek, we note the following: Monday Drawing, Landscape and Ornamental ; P. W. Zoiner, Lsq., of Harris A Zoiner, Mechanical aud Architectural H. Lasher. Wednesday Penmanship; Adnm Frederick, Ksq Professor in Nelson Commercial College. Thursday Mathematics and Book keeping; Professor E. C. Allen, of ,htua Insurance Comtmuv.

METHODIST. Services in tho Methodist Churches to-morrow as usual. The regular Pastor will officiate. Sabbath Schools in the morning and Class meeting in the afternoon. The New York Advocate says the

official returns soon to be published in the fje'neral Minutes, show that the pre hi number of members and pro-bat-oiicr ... the Methodist Episcopal Church, u reported at the several Annual Conferences, and not including the traveling preachers, is one mitt ion, I It irln Ihnumiul, ,,,, being nine hundred an increase over the report of the previous yoar of , hmulnd mid one thousund, seven hundred nnd ,ii,u f,-n. The number of baptisms by ministers during the year is, adults, 47,410; children, 38,63fi; total, 80,966, The Sunday School Journal says Miss Sophia Cooke, a Wesleyan lady, in Eugland, first originated the idea of Sunday Schools. Pointing to the ragged, swearing children ia the streets of Gloucester, England, Robert Raikes asked her this question : " What can we do for these poor.negijected children?" " Lot us," said Miss Cooke, " teach them to road and take them to Church," and acting on the suggestion, Mr. Raikes hired several Indies to teaoh reading aud writing, and tho Catechism to such children as he might send them. The total amount of money collected for Missions in the M. E. Church, for the year 18M, is 1702,000, agaiust $(86,000 last year an increase of Mt,000. Francis Asbury is said to have established the first sabbath school' in the United States, at the house of Thomas Cranahaw, in Hanover County, Virginia. Dr. Rush has geuerally been credited with being the pioneer in this great work. "Our iftfuHlijft Jiretharn. lti an editorial with this heading the Congregntionist says: "Benevolent contributions on the part of our Methodist brethren are proceeding, on a gigantio scale. They are setting an example to t;ther dcuouiiu.-itionx that cannot be without its influence. They are quite putting to the blush, in this Centenary effort of thoirs, donoiuinationn that have boon longer in he field, and have regarded themselves as generous In the bestowment of money Tor religious uses. Hereafter it will not dolor us to think ourselves burdened by the call of bonevolenee it will not do for Unitarian friends to think IIOOKW a largo um to be raised, when a single Methodist Church in Boston gives $70,000 to this object. We thank the Metho dints for their example, and trust that Christians of every denomination may have larger views and larger hearts in eonnequcnce." The M. E. ChurehcB in East Tennessee are enjoying a season of revival. The Advocate reports sixty conversions and thirty accessions at Holston : sixty conversions and fifty accessions at Fountain Head; twentyfive conversions and twelve accessions at Boyd's School House; forty or fifty conversions on Dandridge Circuit; one hundred conversions on Strawberry Plains Circuit; fifty on Sevier Circuit; a like number on Jacksboro Circuit; one hundred on Little River Circuit; fifty on Clinton Circuit; seventy accessions on the Maynardsville Cireuitj forty or fifty accessions in Eait Knoxville; and about sixty accessions to the Knoxville Station. At this rate of- increase the M. E. Church will soon become powerful in East Tennessee. The contributions to the Centenary Fund, 'by various Conference Districts of thiB State, are as follows: Indlauapolla $4,115 8 UreeiiOHMlle K,1M1 11 Kviinvlllc 10.tHT .to Book Port e,io7 57 New Albany ......,.

By thiB It will be seen that Evans. ville, as usual, leads in every particu lar. Methodism must be on the down grade in Indianapolis, and the preachers have a hard time in New Albany and Greenoastle.

of them, with large additions in many places by conversion. " The Lord M adding to the Church dally such an should be saved." Our very enterprising Baptist friends in Chicago are about founding a church at the Union Stock Yards, a location just out of the city limits, where all the cattle and hogs arc sold. The establishment has the control of three huudred acres of land, fortyfive acres of whioh are covered with plank enclosures. On the premises are a large first class hotel and an immense exchange building. All the railroads which centre at Chicago connect here. In the exchange building are tho offices of the railroads, and of the cattle brokers, aud here is the Union Stock Bank. The business in this bank some days exceeds a million of dollars. Around this establishment a large village is rapidly growing, aud the Baptists of the oity are making ready to supply the spiritual wants of the people. Rev. J. W. Terry, of Centraliu, Illinois, has accepted tho pastorate of the Baptist Church in Madison. He will enter immediately upon the duties of his office. The First Baptist Church of Indianapolis alono supports three Sabbath Schools, all of which are in a most flourishing condition. The Home School J. R. Osgood, Superintendentnumbers some 500 teachers and scholars; The South Mini ion School E. J. Foster, Superintendent 300, and the Garden Mission School C. P. Jacobs, Superintendent established last summer, 100. Other denominations are pushing forward their efforts in this direction,, find there is also a Union Mission School numbering some 800 teachers aud scholars. It is stated that Mr. Boecher feels deeply grieved at the way in which the Independent has treated him, a id that he has withdrawn his sermons from that paper, and has closed a bargain with Dr. Bright, editor of the Examiner, the Baptist paper in New York, by whioh his sermons and lectureroom talks will be furnished to that paper. An arrangement has also been made by which Mr. Beecher is to furnish a serine-a every fortnight after the first of December to the New York Methoditt. UNITARIAN. There will be Liberal Christian worship at the Court House to- morrow, conducted by Rev. D. H. Clark. Sermon in the morning, "The Doctrine of the Incarnation. " Services in the evening as usual. The young and thriving society in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, dedicated their new place of worship, which is to be known an Unity Church, on Wednesday, October 24th. Rev. O. B. Frothinghaiu is to give a series of conversational lectures this winter at his church in New York, on tho "Poet's Creed," illustrated with readings. The fruit of the late National Convention in Syracuse is already manifested in a call for a Union Convention of Unitarian, Uuiversalist, and other liberal Churches in Central and Western New York, to be held ut Rochester November 21st aud 22ud. The following extract from the circular issued by the Uuiversalist clergymen to their people indicates the spirit in which it proposes to come together: The time for all jealousy, coldness, or" indifference has passed, and we have entered upon a new era of fraternal feeling and Christian co-operation. Let us waste no more precious moments in quibbling over names, and for tbe precedence, but try to outdo each other in self-sacrificing devotion to truth and human good. By whatever names Liberal Christians may be called, they are engaged in a common work; whatever differences may have characteriied us in the past, that progress which we have ever mutually vindicated has brought us to a common platform. We are one in spirit; we are one in faith. Let us take each other by tho hand, look each other in the face, and unitedly press forward in every Christian undertaking. CATHOLIC. We are in receipt of the first number of a new weekly Catholic journal, published at St. Paul, Minnesota, colled the Northwestern Chronicle. It is neatly printed, arranged with taste, and will doubtless prove a valuable addition to the press of the Church. Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, will, on next Sunday evening, deliver a lecture for the benefit of the Conference of St. Vincent De Paul Society, at St. Michael's Church, Louisville. The following extract in reference

to arnusemeuts, is taken from the address of the late Council at Baltimore : In this connection we consider it to be our duty to warn our people against those amusements which may easily become to them an occasion of sin, aud especially against those fashionable dances which, as at present carried on, are revolting to every feeling of decenoy and propriety, and are fraught with the greatest danger to morals. We would also warn them most solemnly against the greatest abuses which have sprung up in the matter of fairs, excursions, and picnics, in which, as too often conducted, the name of charity is made to cover up a multitude of sins. We forbid all Catholics having anything to do with them, excent when munatred in

accordance with the regulations of the ordinary, and under the immediate supervision of their respective naHtorM. The elerirv are exhorted to unremitting teal aud blamelessuess of life. A splendid diamond cross and chaiu, worth $1,200, has been donated by Archbishop Puroell to tho St. Pe ter's Society table at the Orphan's Fair, to be held at Molodeon Hall shortly. It will be raffled for, and tickets may now be seonred at MoGrew's jowelry store. Cincinnati Gazette. PROTKSTA NT KPiaCOPAL. St. Paul's Church, corner- of First and Chestnut Streets, Rev. H. W.

Bishop Upl ui.i), of this Diocese of, Indiana, has issued a pastoral, in accordance with the recommendation of the President of tho United States and the Governor of the State, enjoining upon tho clergy the due observance of tho day in sots of pablie prayer and praise and devout supplication. He has also issued a pastoral upon the subject of the Protestant Episcopal Frjcdmen's Commission, calling attention to the importance of the work and the necessity for liberality ou the part of tbe Church, and recommending that a collection be made on that day in the several congregations of the Diocese. He says " the importance of this truly benevolent enterprise, and the urgent necessity that exists for its immediate and vigorous prosecution can not fail to be appreciated by every reflecting mind, involving, as it does, issues of good or evil, as it is furthered or neglected, to the class of people especially concerned, and to the social influence of the communities in which they dwell." It is doubtless well knowu that this Commission is working with the hearty co-opperation, and under the auspices of the Southern Bishops, clergy, and laity, and it truly deserves the sympathy, prayers and assistance of all earnest churchmen. This will, therefore, be one of the objects of the collection to be taken at thai' time. Two other special objects will be the Diocesan lessons and Orphan Asylum of this city; and any person may, beside, designate any object in which he or sho may be peculiarly interested. The new furnace just put up in St. Paul's Church works admirably in all respects. The Church will now always be comfortable, and no building in the city furnishes more attractions in every way than does this. FOR ROOFING AMD OT It Ell PURPOSES.
