THE Trustees of the American Congregational Union, at their meeting April 12, appropriated to Congregational churches as follows, viz:- Mendota, Ill., $100 00; Newton, Jasper Co., Ia., $250 00; Canton, Ms., $300 00; Middleton, Wis., $200,00; Indianapolis, Ind., (especial,) $500 00. By especial is meant those instances where an individual or a Church gives the money for the Church to which it is appropriated. If said Church comes within the rules which govern in other cases, and complies with the usual conditions, the Trustees are only too glad to be the almoner of all such especial benefactions. At their meeting May 3d, an especial appropriation was voted to the Congregational Church of Flushing, L. I. At their meeting, May 23d, an especial appropriation was made to the Congregational Church at Abington, Ill., of $250 00. Voted, That the Annual Report of the Trustees, the Treasurer's Report, and the Annual Address, be published in the Congregational Quarterly. June 27, appropriations were made to Congregational Churches as follows, viz.:-Wyandotte, K. T., $500 00; El Paso, Ill., $300 00; Worth, Mich., $250 00; Aurora, Ill., $200 00; Prescott, Wis., $200 00; Nevada, Cal., $300 00; Grand Haven, (additional,) $100 00; Winona, Min., $500 00; Church of the Pilgrims, Milwaukie, $500 00. Since our annual meeting there have been paid to churches as follows, viz. :— Mendota, $100 00, by the 1st Congregational Church of Newton, Ms,-Rev. D. L. Furber, Pastor; Indianapolis, Ind., $500 00, by Wm. Allen, Esq., New York; Flushing, L. I.. $250 00, by Chas. Abernethy, Esq., of New York; Grand Haven, $300 00; Winona, $500 00; Milwaukie, $500,00; Geneva, K. T., $100 00, by Nelson Kingsbury, Esq., of Hartford, Ct.; and to the Church at Hudson, Wis., $250, by Abner Kingman, Esq., of Boston. It is proper to state that the appropriations of the last meeting were much above the average. Some of them were especial; some very urgent cases, the houses, if not the churches, periled without immediate aid. In most of these cases, however, there is good reason for believing that the gift will speedily be returned, with large interest. The receipts since the Anniversary have been, for May, $933 95; for June, $818 07; for July $276 05; for August, $317 07; total, $2,345 14,—a less amount for the four months than is needed every month. May the future be more propitious! QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE CONGREGATIONAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. IN the necessary absence of Edward Buck, Esq., who had been appointed to read a paper on "Ecclesiastical Councils, in their legal aspects," at the August meeting, the Corresponding Secretary was requested to read an article which he had prepared for this periodical, (see pp. 359-368,) on the "American Home Missionary Society and the N. S. General Assembly." A free discussion of the subject matter by the members present, elicited their warm approbation of the paper. At an adjourned meeting two weeks later, the Association were favored with Mr. Buck's production, the result of a thorough and instructive research into the history, authority, and legal proceedings of Ecclesiastical Councils, as established by usage among New England Congregationalists,-for which the thanks of the Association were voted, and a copy requested for such further use as the Directors may see fit to make of it. The Librarian reported the following donations in books, &c., during the quarter, viz:Rev. J. L. Taylor, 1 volume; J. A. Palmer, 2 v.; Rev. P. C. Headly, 2 v., and 57 pamphlets; Rev. D. T. Kimball, 4 p. and 6 manuscripts; J. W. Thornton, 47 p.; Rev. H. J. Patrick, 2 v.; Rev. S. Harding, 1 v.; S. A. Green, 1 v.; Hon. S. II. Walley 26 v. and 146 p.; Rev. G. Richards, $70 p.; Mrs. Russell, (of Kingston,) from Rev. S. Parris' Library, 17 v. (ancient) and 12 m.; Rev. J. Peckham and Rev. D. Wight, 15 v. ; Rev. J. M. Bacon, 2 v.; G. & C. Merriam, 1 v.; E. Spaulding, National Intelligencer from 1816, 35 v.; Dea. W. Whitney, 1 v.; Rev. D. D. Field, D.D., 1 v.; Rev. A. H. Dashiell, 13 pamphlets, and the writing desk of Rev. Dr. Stephen West, formerly of Stockbridge. THE Editors and Proprietors of this Quarterly are able to assure their subscribers that its success has been such as to make it certain that it meets a felt want, and will be permanently sustained by the denomination to whose interests it is especially devoted. They are happy to add also that the experience of the year has been such as to authorize its continuance at the same price, and with a somewhat increased size. And, in the belief that they give to each subscriber a generous return, they beg the kind co-operation of all in extending its circulation as widely as possible. Please remember that the money must always accompany the order. INDEX. NOTE.
