A P reacher W anted and his
Q ualifications .—A Western corres
pondent of the New York Independ.
ent, in giving an account of the
Congregational Churches visited or
heard from in the course of his pil
grimage, speaks of the growing de
mand for fresh young ministers. The
old ones have outlived their day, and,
it might be added, the piety of their
congregations. One of these writes :
"Tell Brother be should be
looking for another preacher for bis
Church. They have a citified Church
and want a citified minister a
young, good looking man, of superior
talents, able to interest the class that
never felt any interest in sacred things,
and turn back all the old back sliders
that were brought in by the furnace
heat of a protracted meeting, and
sprung back as soon as they get cold.
They want an eloquent man, who can
throw off a sermon at a spirit, without
study ; an unmarried man preferred,
if not engaged."

The poll tax instituted by Gen. Banks
in this State, and levied upon freed

says the Picayune, was copied in
Mississippi. a part of Louisiana is
also under charge of the Assistant
Commissioner of Mississippi, who by
the following order abolishes it there.
We hope Gen. Fullerton will ex
tend this order to the rest of Louisi

which prohibits the levying of any
tax by the officers and agents of the
bureau :

Among the inventions at the Ameri
can Institute, New York, is an in
genious arrangement by which but
tons may be attached to any gar
ment without the use of needle and
thread. This ought to make the in
ventor's fortune. Bachelors who have
no wives to depend upon for seeing
them properly buttoned, and wives
with irritable husbands, whose tem
pers become affected by the absence
of buttons, on their clothing, must
both appreciate so asefal an im
provement.
