The Presbytery examined and licensed to preach the Gospel, Mr. Isaac Swift, of Unionville. The churches showed a good' degree of prosperity, all reporting additions. IT. S.

The Reformed Church—Classis of Orange. The Classis of Orange convened in regu­ lar session in the Rcfoimed church, New­ burgh, on Tuesday, April 20, a t 11 o’clock A. 31., and was opened with prayer by Rev- Dr. Yan Zandt, President of tho last meet­ ing. Rev. S. W. Mills was chosen Presi­ dent, and John Lyon Clerk. The Classical sermon was preached on Tuesday evening by Rev. Dr. Yan Zandt, &om Matt. 22:21—“ Render therefore unto CiEsar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God tho things which are God’s.” The subject of the discourse was the relation of the church to civil Government, and was treated with great ability. Reports were received from the several churches connected with the Classis, show­ ing their condition generally to he one of prosperity and encouragement. The church at Cuddebackville, which has received aid from the Board of Domestic Missions from its first organization, has, during the past year, become self-sustaining, while some other weak churches have been materially strengthened. Contributions to religious and benevolent purposes, have been larger than at any previous year. Applications were made for the organiza­ tion of new churches, near Damascus, Pa. and a t Shawanguhk, 'Ulster county, N. Y. A committee was appointed to visit first- named place and report to Classis, and the application for Shawangunk was granted. On recommendation of Committee on Mis­ sions a German Missionary was appointed for the Sullivan county field. The following persons were chosen dele­ gates to the Particular Synod of Albany, to meet at Schenectady in May; ReVds E, \W. Bentley and G. S. Garretson, and Eld­ ers John Lyon and A. S. Schoonmaker.

A special meeting of Cl&ssis to consider the affairs of that church, was appointed to be held in the church on Monday May 3d, a t' 11 A. ir. The regular fall session of Classis was ap­ pointed to he held in the Reformed Church in Port Jervis, on tho thfrd Tuesday in October. Building and Loan Association. Among the successful and most useful in­ stitutions of our village is the Buil^mg and Loan Association, now some months in oper­ ation. We learn that the institution has already issued over 40,000 shares, and afford­ ed pecuniary aid to its membera in a cor­ responding degree. The indications are that the Juno dividend will exceed thirty per cent. The Board of Managers of the association meets third Wednesday of each month. The officers are:. John Dutton, President; Samuel Marsh, Yice President; M. H. Finn, Secretary; Richard Ghray, Treasurer. ^ \Watch Restoi^ed. The Goshen Republican says that Mr. John W. Webb, who was robbed of a valua­ ble watch a short time ago, was rather as- to n ^ e d as well as pleased, in having it re­ stored per express from Philadelphia. It is thought that the thief resorted to this ruse to avert suspicion and convey the impres­ sion that a stranger to the place had com­ mitted the robbery. Burglary in M ontgomery. On Monday night the store of Carver & Johnson, in the village of Montgomerj\ this county, was broken into and robbed of three to four hundred dollars worth of goods and a small amount of money. Par^ ties in the village are suspected, but no ay- rests have been made. . / —^Mr. S. D.

New Churches. The N e w Catholic Church in Port Jervis—A v e r y Spacious and Hand­ some Edifice to be Erected. N o tw ith s tan d in g the obstacles w h ich a hollow infidelity a n d tho clamors o f a .super­ ficial science are c o n stantly throw ing in the w a y o f th e true Christian progress w h ich marlra onr a g e , it is cheering t o notice the unm istakeahle evidences o f Christian prin>- ciples throughout th e country. To t h e nur m erous accessions w ith w h ich th e various denom inations have strengthened their ranks during th e past year, it is unneces­ sary n o w to refer. The great num b er of church edifices b e in g erected everywhere around us is a sufficient indication o f g row th in religion. The character and style o f ar­ chitecture, too, are such as td'promise m u ch good tow ards th e e levation o f taste a n d cul­ ture in th^ r ising generation, w h o are t a oc­ cupy those n e w buildings i n th e worship o f God.

This is visible without going even beyond the limits of our own village, where the chfircheshav’e undergone a complete change for the better within the past few years.- -And we are told that soon another oma^ ment will be added to those already ereptedl The Catholic congregation, who suffered such a loss in the destruction of their church by fire, are now making strenuous efforts to repair it. The building was-a handsome one, and bore undeniable testimony to theii generosity and to the energy of Father Briady, who had .it bmlt. But, though accustomed to calamity and self-saCrifice; they seem to gather new vigor from their difficulties. They are about completing a contract for a church which wiUhe 133 feei; long and 65 feet wide, with two spires, res­ pectively, of 100 feet, and 180 feet highl The entire work is to be done in excellent style. A spacious bqscment, 13 feet highi will he a valuable acquisition for Simday-r school purposes and meetings of church sor cieties. The walls will he forty feet high; and win have a good quantity of brown, stone omamentati^. The^design was drawi^ by Mr. Perry, who has evmced considerahle ability in the splendid Reformed churcli^on Main-st. Altogether the new Catholic church will he inferior to b u t few in tl& re­ gion. Undoubtedly it-will he no ea^ un­ dertaking for such a congregation; ^ t they have learned that where there is a y ill there is a way, and i t is pretty clear tfiey have always shovm a decided will to build churches, and, consequently, thf^re is no rea­ son to fear that anything they may under­ take in Port Jervis shall fail./ The Building Committee appointed by the congregation a re: Mes^s. Dominic Cun- niff, James Creegan, Peterffiggins, Andrew Cuff, and Dahiel Young, and are earnestly at work in co-operatich with the pastor, Rev. James Nilan. ht'ore details will be given when the work is under way. Burglars at Work—Daring Depredar jiioiis. About two o’clock on Thursday morning last, Mr. N. Ridgeway’s house, about three miles below this village, on the Mil­ ford road, was visited by burglars, who broke a couple of panes of glass out of a front window, ard attempted to raise the sash and enter the house. Fortunately their operation'/ were heard by Mrs. Ridgeway, who awakened her husband, and ^m e stir being made b y them, the burglars took the alarm And left. T|:c thieves next visited Mr. Jacob De Wyt’s barn, about a half mile below, ‘and “vent through” the premises, but stole nSthing so far as has been discovered. Af­ terwards they returned to Mr. EHjah Rose’s house, near Mr. Ridgeway’s, and, b y means of a ladder taken from the carriage-house, effected an entrance to the upper story of the house. They visited nearly ■very e room in the house, and searched clothing, drawers, satchels, etc., pretty thoroughly. They car­ ried off a pocket-hook, which contained only a small amount of money, b u t as yet nqthing else of value has been missed from the house. \We do not learn that the thieves left any trace behind them, which will lead to their arrest.
