Kervlce at ih 4tou;regntiouaI Churt-h nict-tii'ix Ijist evening at tlie Congregational el it in h surasse'el iiisjiiriui . ality uyl tender interest, any as yet liold. After singing several J.ieccs from tlie - Song I2vangeL,, brief remarks were made t ly the lender, 'setting" forth as the great , need of Christians in the work of winning men, a deep and iersoiuil baptism ot the Holy Spirit. The opening prayer, ofl'i-reil . by .Dr. Gray, and tlie earnest remarks which followed showed that the right key-i.ote li.id been struck. s The incident relatetl by Dr. Gray, of the man who was being hurri td by tlie resistless waters over tlie brii:k of Niagara, and caught bo!d of a rock just in ,'tiiue to prevent -being dashed to pieces, showed tlie dreadful condition of the. sinner, who realizes las danger; while tlie mu'tt ttides of spectators standing on t he hanks above the terrible abyss, illustrates eln is . tlaus tliemselves safe but standing idly liy, within reach of the jK-rishing man ; speculating and planning, but doing uotli ' tiig'to save from impending death. - "-Mr Wilson wa.ited this work of spirit ual preparation to be personal. In lormcr times the bapiisiii of power had been a joy ful esperieiice, and must be so again tiffany cost. Mr. IJowwsox conceded tliat this endow ment w ith Divine ower was the ail-essential thing, and should be sought with tasting nnd prayer. .Deacon Godley thought there should K more prayer, iohitcd, personal ai;d brief. Ail should prsiy. Mr. Webber wished to give his testimony to the blessed ii.lltn-nce of this spiritual baptism, and longed to re-iie.v the experi eiice of other times, so as to he able to win friends, neighbors and children to the isavior. '- " Mr. Itir.cr spoke very toiie-hingly of our coldness aud UHliCerence while our dearest frii-neU on earth are livii:g iudificreiit to this great Salvation. Prof. Warren thought the time had come to work. This alone could enkindle inter est. Wljen we begin to work fur sinners, we will feel tlie re danger and lie aroused to pray earnestly. Inference was made to an old acquaintance whose record Iiad not hitherto been that ot a working-christiau ; but since Mr. Hammond hud got him at work, lie can be seen talking and praying with the unconverted at the rink, in Port land, as if working for Jesus was a pleasure, r Christians were called upon to begin to work at once. Mr. Wyatt alluded to otir iiittJiisisk-neii's as tlie great barrier iti our way of spiking to those out of Christ, and -x pressed the desire to live henceforth so as to be able to persuade men to coute to Christ. Dr. Kice had to confess discouraging Bro. Wilson's expectation of a revival last winter, and Iiad hitherto had much of this feeling with reference to tliese meetings. But it was now-clear tliat a blessing was in store for us, and we must all be awake and in earnest. Mr. J. H. Foster spoke of ods faithful ness to hi.s promises, exhorting all to ex pect great things. - , Mr. Irving reconntetl at some lengin God's dealings with tiiin through a relig ious experience or 44 years While sinjrinsr Jesus of Xn'zarvth is tbissuiz bv." a nauiher arose to renuesr the : bv.,ra nc iirayersof God's people tliat tliey might find Christ precious. After esirnest prayer in tlieir leh:ilr. services closed by singing, 'Sate within the vale." A Geaxd Wkddixg. The event of to day was the marriage of Mr. AV. F. Barn faart and Miss Dnrlina Clieaillc,'. tbiughter of Mr. K. Cheadle, mercliant, of this city. The marriage ceremony was, pcrtormed in tbe M. E. Church, by the pastor, Rev. ' Isaiah Wilson, at 10 o'clock this morning, a ad was witnessed by a large concourse o people. The brido was elegantly and tastefully arrayed tit white (now we would like to describe tlie dress tlte bride wore, tor it was a beauty, but our millinery ed ucation was neglected, and : we are not familiar enough with tlie terms to make an attempt) and looked like a lovely little queen, while happiness stood out all over the groom. Mr. Frank Baruliart acted as groomsman and Miss Mary Cheadle as bridesmaid. Tlie wedding ceremony over, anil it was well done, the bridal party and invited guests repaired to the residence of the bride's parents, on First street, and partook of a splendid wedding breakfast. We need not say that the breakfast was as great a success as the marriage .ceremony, for Mrs. Cheadle Is knowu far and wide as one of tbe best cooks anywhere, and her daughters are just like their ins in; this respect. We were there, -you better be lieve, and when It comes to good cooking wo are a most healthy judge. Altogether It was about tbe highest toned wedding tliat has transpired in these parts - for - one while. Mrs. Cheadle may well feel proud of tbe "send off" she gave ber handsome daughter. : Our best wishes attend the happy young people. ; ' t - Doe. Plummer bad two thermometers bung upon the wall.

Prof. Slites left this city far the mountains yesterday, leaving his fami ly to enjoy the present heated term in the city. Sow see what conies of it. Ijrtst evening Mrs. Stites sister, Lizzie, and Miss Williams, who are stopping with her duf Ing her husband's absence, went to the Good Templar's lodge, and the mistress of the house, feeling lonesome, went to a neighbors to spend the evening. When the young ladies came home they rushed into the Kitchen to get a bite; but observ ing a man looking in at the window, they became somewhat demoralized,' and fled to their room, the door of which they secured. In the morning they found that their scare had been legitimate, as, .during the night, the house had been entered, things turned topsy-turvy and clothing and other things taken, among the rest the Professor's best suit ef clothes. If the git Is had only had :i shot gun and tired it at the hombre. , Mr. Hammond writes Mr. Stratton by to-day's mail, that he is coming to Albany next Saturday, and will bring some work ing Christians with him if possible. Xow let tlie committees in charge make all nec essary preparations, that his brief , stay among us may he eminently profitable. Ministers and others are sending word of their purxse to be present and share in the blessing. Let entertainment h iJl'.Jll- Oyri'li-hillldedi ma;iner for which the Citizens of Albany are noted. Let all nt cessary arrangements be made fur music and especially let earnest prayer be made for the Deviuu blessing. AcriDKSTAi.l.V Shot. At the ball Mon day night at Junction a man named K. Neal, had some difficulty, when he attemp ted to draw a ph-tol uhich beheld in his pocket cocked. One or more parties caught hold of his arm to prevent him drawing the weapon, and in the struggle the pistol was exploded,, the ball entering Xcul's thigh and plowing a cut ot several- inches in length, stopped against the bone, where it remained until extracted by the surgeon. This was about the hist fracas ou the 5ih at Junction. . Fall Wheat. Several stalks of Chile Club -wheat, eleven weeks old. ineasming five and a half feet, were brought into our cilice this morning by Kev. Mr. Blaiu. The wlieat was grown at Mr. Tetherow's place, near llolteit's bridge. There is quite a large field of this wheat, and the stalks will avenge about 5.1., fi-et in bight all through it. The heads are large also, a:.d should there Le no backset between now and harvest, that field of club will yield enormously. It's hard to beat in any country.1 Lui C'iiOl"s. From a gentleman who has been tiaveling through the county,- we learn that grain is looking splendid, and the prospect of an extra heavy yield was never better. Grass is way up, and the yield of hay will lie much larger than common. Everything indicates hrge re turns to the tanner, with a good prospect for better prices than received last sea son. We ought to be a happy and con tented people, for we sue specially Llessed in every way. Skkvicim at tub CON;i;i:tiATioxAL Cuuixii Last evening were of the most interesting character. We have not at tended a meeting for a long time where nearly all present seemed to be full and running over with trim happiness the happiness of souls full of the lUdeemer's love.

That Christ had been very near bis chosen qp. the night before and Jiad answered prayer. - He saiil that many present needed an introduction, tp Christ in order to form his acrpiaiutance.

Mrs. Blain bulieved back of-faith was the christian life ; that the faith of the child is stronger than that ot the adult, and tor that reason it is necessary to become, as little children. Mr. Morrison thought that christians were not generally ashamed of being follow- rs of Christ, but that they are such imicur (; followers. Several other persons added their testi mony -for Christ, and offered prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in tlie hearts of the christians, and for God to send con viction into the heart of sinners. Many requests for prayer .were asked. Tlw time has come when christians must enter the vineyard of the Master to work : ., " V' T'..i...i; .. . :.. i. ..i, .... with steel.

What tlie Porllnnd Minister say of Sir. 1Xmimmiou1. We copy tlie following from the Portland UuHetiii of to-day the Sth : Various references to' the labors ot the Rev. E. P. Hammond, of a damaging char acter, iudfce us voluntarily, and for the sake of removing hindrances to the spread of the Gospel, to give this explicit indorse ment to Mr. Hammond as an Evangelist, and a Christian gentleman. Rev. Mr. Hammond was invited by Messrs. Wadhams, Howard. Laild anil .Pierce, who represented the five affiliating churches of this city. lie came among us with the Indorsement ot the affiliating churches of Oakland, Stockton and San Francisco, indorsements which were vol untarily, explicit and were written in the light of the man's life aud works. We have worked with Mr. Hammond for three weeks and have no doubt' of the purity of his motives or that he is a successful evan gelist. hen we telegraphed to Mr. Hammond for his terms his answer was: I am not in the habit of making money conditions. My only conditio-is are that Christians pray for the llly Spirit and do all they can to get sinners to go out to the meet ings." f All statements concerning money pledges made to Mr. Hammond by the citizens of Portland are entirely false. We regard any assault upon Mr. Hammond as an attack upon the ministers and churches of this city who have welcomed him as their guest. We feel very thankful to God for the wonderful blessings attending tliese meeting, which has resulted in numerous conversions. A. L. Liudsley, Pastor of the Presbyte rian Church ; G. II. Atkinson.

Following are the latest dates from China and Japan : China appropriates 40.000 taels for rep resentation at the Philadelphia ceutuary. The local government of llaiigchow pro mises to send, independently, 10,000 taels worth of porcelain and silks. The Chinese authorities openly declare their determination to exterminate the abo rigines of Formosa; The latest plan of in vasion adopted is of destroying the interior forests by igniting bales of cotton saturated with oil. Many valuable camphor groves have already been destroyed. In direct, en counters with tlie savages the Chinese have thus far been worsted. -- Fifty thousand Mahometans are now res idiujr in Naukius. '. r The authorities of Kink Jang express re gret for the recent destruction of the Ameri can Missionary chapel, and offer to make good all losses. A Chinese officer of high rank was execut ed at Tillwaii Fu. for cowardice hi a battle with savages of Formosa. Military reform lias begun in the Provi dence of Fukieu by tlie introduction of for eign arms and military drill among a limit ed number of troops. .Jealous quarrels have arisen in consequence, and serious riots liavc occurred between the new aud old schools. The tone ot the comments in the English newspapers published in China ou the Mar gary murder, show less regret at the calami ty than exultation over the opportunity af forded of securing new concessions from China aud taking absolute ossessiou of Bnrm.'ih. Tbe complicity of the Burmese King is boldly assumed, and the necessity of annexation universally insisted upon. Wade, tlie British minister, is accused of neglect iu not demanding retribution from China. The Chinese government propose, in the event of conquering the savage territory of Formosa, to build waited towns therein as fast as taken. In consequence of the coolie reports froiu Cuba, China peremtorily refuses further de partures of emigrants. The Spanish Charge at Peking pronounces this to be a violation of the treaty. China says Spain may go to war it she chooses but emigration shall not be resumed except on condition of tlie reception of Chinese consuls iu Cuba for the protection of laborers. JAPAN. The jiopiilatioii of Japan has increased 150,000 since the census was taken at the close of 1S73. . Okubo Losimiti, who was Appointed president of the commission to the Phila delphia centenary, will not be able to leave Jattiiii. Stilffo Yorimiti, recently general commanding in Formosa, has been appoint ed vice president, aud will start tor America next October. The edict against cremation lias been re moved, and the practice resumed to a con siderable extent. The American named J. M. linpportlias been expelled from Japan, with tlie consent of tlie United. Staces officials, for repeated violations of law and order. The ex-Daimio of Kii Sin has given $30, 000 for the establishment of one new pri mary school in each village of his former province. . Sahhou Fusini, an adopted fcon of the gnu id fat her of the present Emperor, was degraded in 1808 for having intrigued with rebels in a war of that year. Last month he was pardoned and returned to his former rank. A crab eleven feet and six incites long was captured on an Island in Yeddo bay. It is on exhibition at Yokohama. ..'-; There is a proposition to extend' the operations of tlie Japanese steamship line now running to Shanglial, to Sau Fran cisco." A decree has been issued that vessels ex ceeding seventy-four tons burthen shall hereafter be built In foreign style. For 250 years all ships have been so constructed as to make distant navigation impossible. The report is confirmed of the cesssion of Sn ehallng to Russia. A recent investigation of tbe number of missionaries and converts in Japan gives the following result : Greek church, one missionary and 3,000 converts ; Roman Catholic, 40 missionaries and 20,000 con verts ; Protestant, 70 missionaries and 200 converts. Profanity. We are emphatically In the age of profanity, and it seems to U3 that we are on tlie topmost current. One eannot go on tlie streets anywhere without having his ears ofiended with tlie vilest words, and his reverence 'shocked by the most profane use of sacred names.
