Whitsell, of Sewickley, followed in an earnest appeal to the people to come to the rescue of the unfortunate inebriate and his family. Remonstrances against granting any more license to sell strong drinks in New Brighton, were circulated and quite a number of names secured. C. i I cesses, we celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary. The Arithmetic of Eternity above can estimate the result of these years of faithful efforts.

But while we rejoice in our abundant success with deep regret we are called ujon lo announce the death of some, of our most earnest workers. One of the.e, Mrs. Eliza J. Patterson, was one of the founders of this society, and for utvr than twenty ears was permitted to labor for its advancement as a manager and distributor. This humbte, earnest, consecrated servant of Christ, like her blessed Master, ever went alxnn doing good, aud like Dorcas, the was often supplying the wants of the needy.

She lived to giorify her Redeemer, and after spending half a century in faithfnl labor for liis cause, in th3 evening of life, at the advanced age of three score and two, she has been called to rest from her labors, to lay down the Cross, and to put on tho crown richly decked (a3 we earnestly believe) with stars which represent those whom she had led to Jesus. And though removed from our band of faithful workers, her memory is most precious and her noble example is ever before ns inciting us to renewed efforts in the Master's Cause. But another consecrated one has been taken from our number. Miss Tillie E. Fleeson, a faithful manager, a kindly, successful visitor, has been summoned to the Master's presence to hear the joyous greeting, "Servant of God, well done, thy mansion is prepared, thv crown is ready, enter into the joy of thy Lord." She was ever at her post, always faithful, and though called away before life's bright meridian had been attained, her labors for the good of others were many.

How kindly we cherish her memory, and may we all profit by her most excellent example. Still another has left us this year, Miss McCullen, after several years of earnest effort as a distributor, has peacefully departed, to enter upon the blessed reward of her labors. Thus one by one the crowns are given, these all died in faith, and now rest in God. And, now, kind friends, we ask your prayers, contributions and assistance. By the blessings of God and your Christian liberality, the Society is clear of debt.

"We need distributors. Tothe friends of the Society, to the pastors of the Churches, to the Christian public, we appeal for laborers. Will not some of those, whom God has blessed with health, wealth and time to work for Jesus, come to our aid, seek out the lost and perishing, and tell them of a Saviour's love? Your assistance is greatly needed; how can you refuse it? How can vou, at the Saviour's feet, before the awful judgment seat, lay down for golden sheaves nothing but leaves? Some of our faithful workers have been removed, who will take their places? Thanking God for pastsuccess, and trusting him for the future, we enter upon the labors of another year, hoping to increase our influence for good, to win many jewels for the Saviour's crown.

CITY AND SUBURBAX. Annual Report of tlie Managers of the Ladle' 'irart oclrty of Allegheny City Twenty-flftU AimiveTary. Another year of active labor has ended, and with smUtied heart we acknowl-dj the kiml hand that has 11 us and the tenter mercy that has crowned our IaiK)M with abundant success. And to our Gracious Master, who hath so richly bJeseod our humble efforts to serve him, be all the glory forever. The same monthly round of visitation, the same earnest efforts to bring souls to Christ by the dissemination of the same truth, with little variation in object or plan, have been pursued during the present as in former years.

And although the facts and figures of this report are much the sam as those found in former years, the work has been entirely new. The water obtained from you gushing fountain is the same inclement and appearance each year, yet pleasant and refreshing each day and hour. So the oft-told story of a Saviour's love has fallen from the lips of tho faithful visitor wltb all the interest of an unheard tale, the act of kiudness and the word of comfort have buen just as welcome as if never received before. And as the changing seasons come and go, each cycle completed calls forth our record of labor much like that of the preceding, yet each chanter of our history, measured by each revolving year, affords new incidents, shows advancement and urges on to greater exertions and larger suc-- cess. The object of this Society is not to advance the interests of any particular sect or creed, but "to promote evangelical religion by the circulation of tracts, by conversation and prayer," to aid in bringing the masses under the influence of the Uoapel.

In this Association wo-. men of ali Evaugelical denominations heartily co-operate in their effoits to ad-vauce the cause of our Messed Redeemer. Tho visitations are made monthly, and itis the aim of the Societvto send distributors to all parts of the city. It is the duty of the visitor to search out every family, to present each family a tract, and to supply all who desire it with a copy of the American Messenger for a small compensation; to speak a word for Christ to every one; callinsr attention to religious subjects, and trying to enforce the truth contained in the tract. In addition to this general work, the sick are nought and kindly cared for; children who do not aiteud Sabbath School are introduced to some neighboring school; families found destttute of the bible are furnished with a copy by sale or gift from the Ladies Bible Society of Allegheny.

Thus, througn the efforts of the tract distributors many are persuaded to attend the house of God, and thousauds who never enter the sanctuarv are supplied with Gospel truth. Thus manv sick and sorrowing are cheered and comforted. and helped to bear life's trials patiently; thus many tempted ones are enabled to resist the and thus some of the fallen are reclaimed. Ia this work ninety visitors have been engaged during the year. These and the twenty-four managers form a corps of earnest workers numbering above a hundred.

Through their persevering efforts, (even in summer's heat and winter's storm,) tracts and 31,500 Messengers in the English language, and Jfcl.iioO tracts and Messengers in the German language, have beeu circulated. In addition to this a number of Welsh and French tracts have been distributed; several families have been supplied with the Bible; 164 children have been gathered into Sabbath School, and a number ol" persons found stck and destitute have hid their wants supplied on application to the Ladies' Relief Society of the city. And while earnestly laboring in the cause of home evangelization, the efforts of the Society have not been ontined to our own city. Many tracts and Messengers have been sent to Sabbath Schools in the rural districts. From month to month the "Women's Christian Association" has been supplied with tracts and Messengers to distribute in Pittsburgh.

Kditors Gazette: From the published proceedings of the Central Board of Education, at their last meeting, it appears that they demand the repeal of a recent act of Assembly in relation to the collection of school taxes in the city of Pittsburgh. On Inquiry I find that the act com plained of provides for the collection of the school taxes by the City Treasurer at the same time and in the same manner that other city taxes are collected. bat objection the Central Board has to this reform is not stated. To those who haye the taxes to pay it has many things to recommend it. It is convenient each taxpayer knows when and where to pay his taxes.

And the experience of the poople in the payment of city and county taxes Has satisfied most persons that it is the cheapest method, and thus in the end lessens taxes. If the recent act is deictivn In it should bo amended, the interest of the community certainly should prevent its repeal.

The Independent Order of Good Tem plars of the Brighton County District met in quarterly Convention in their Hall in this place at two o'clock this after noon. The meeting was called to order by Worthy Chief Templar Woodruff, who requested Kev. S. F. Crowther to act as orthy chaplain, who opened the Convention by prayer.

Worthy Secretary R. Anderson read the minutes of the last quarterly Con vention, field at Beaver Town. Brothers Kennedy, Eigar and Moor-head were constituted a Committee on Credentials. Worthy Chief Secretary S. B.

Fossett resigned, and on motion Brother Edir, of New Brighton, was elected without opposition. Sister Mattie Brierly was constituted Financial Secretary. Reports were called for from the different Lodges represented. Brother Joseph Alexander reported New Brighton Lodge in a flourishing condition, initiating members every week, and doing a good work in the community. Brother J.

n. McCreary reported Beaver Lodge in good condition, getting along rather slowly, but they think surely, having a worthy membership. Brother Anderson reported Amaranth Lodge getting along very well, their membership increasing. Brother Bisell reported Enola Lodge doing a good work. Though not Btrong numerically, yet made up of earnest work.

Sister Chapin, of Amaranth Lodge, S. F. Crowther of New Brighton, and Bisell of Enola Lodge, were elected a committee on resolutions. After a short recess the convention was called to order, and the arrival of Hon. S.

B. Chase, Grand Worthy Chief Tem plar of the State of Pennsylvania, was announced.

Resolved, That the first two hours of to-morrow morning's session be devoted to degree work, conferring dezrees, Brothers A. Bostwick, Anderson and Carter were appointed a Committee on Business.

3d. Maintain good order. 4th. Manifest an interest in the cause and keep well informed on the subject. 5th.

Intersperse the exerclBoa with good and suitable music. PUBLIC LECTURK. In the evening Mr. Chase delivered an entertaining and interesting lecture in the Presbyterian church, to a crowded For several months tracts have been sent to the Soldiers' Hospital ami last month a supply of tracts was sent to the House of Refuge. During the summer two of the visitors distributed many tracts, books and Messengers among the Roman Catholic population about Cresson.

Many tracts and papers have also been distributed by visitors while travelling upon the cars. Such is the record of he last work. But what tigures shall represent the good accomplished the sad hearts made to rejoice in Christ, the suffering ones relieved and comforted, the sin sicK ttouls brought to the Great Pnysician, the erring feet turned into the ways of righteousness and peace? What Arithmetic can estimate the value of the immortal souls made gems in the Redeemer's crown by the tract, the Messenger or the earnest word of the distributor? Think you tract distribution is thankless, fruitless labor? It would do your soul good to meet the hearty welcome that generally awaita the faithful visitor, and a single tract may be the means of converting many souls. One little tract sent by a child to a Missionary was the means of converting fifteen hundred souls; one little tract brought in a peddler's pack to the door of hisfather was the meansof converting Baxter, Doddridge, Wilberforce, Leign, Richmond, and through them of converting thousands more. The circulation during this year has been greater than during any preceding year.

What the haryest of this year's Bowing of Gospel truths in thousands of hearts may be we cannot tell; but, like the Egyptians who sow their grain upon the swollen tide, knowing they will reap an abundant harvest, we have sown good seed upon the rushing tide of human life, believing it will yield a golden harvest in the future. We have sown the truth in garret and cellars, in dark lanes and narrow alleys, in bar-room and saloon, in the homes of rich and poor, upon the street and in the place of business committing it in earnest prayer to the Holy Spirit, Who can Cansn it In rrmmr inH tn ririnir forth fruit. In the extension of our efforts, and the interesting experience of aome of our visitors, we feel greatly encouraged.
