The Berkeley Presbyterian, a monthly cbnroh paper, published in Berkeley, California, contains the following of local interest :-In a town in Canada, two Presbyterian °hurohes recently thought best to unite under one pastor. The union was quite an event, and was the occasion of pleasant gatherings in the way of receptions, etc, It also seems to have created quite a boom in matrimony, as on the second Sabbath after the union there were no lase than five newly .mar. ried couples in church. 1t may be re- marked that in Canada it is quite au important matter with the young bride and bridegroom to attend ohnrch the fleet Sunday after the marriage. Nor hate the little ones been forgotten, and there have been numerous baptisms, the male sex predominating as there were six boys as against three girls, A rather amusing incident took place in the names oftwo boys,' one receiving the name of John Calvin and the other John Wesley. The name of the sturdy Sootob reform- er was imiuently proper in the Pres byterian church, but that of John Wes- ley woeld seem to point to a larger anion, that the two great evangelistic brnohee with whioh these two names are so close- ly indentitled may consummate in the • • ETON LAO Woaaall'a CelivaT1aN,— The mnnaal Convention of aburoh work. ere and Sunday School teachers of the Anglican Diocese of Huron ie to be held this year at Windsor, put„ in rosponeo bo the invitation ofthe rector and con- gregation of All Saint's church in, that olty, on Goober 28rd and 24th inst.
