Itseems to be the impression in official circles that Mr. DeLong’s resignation will be accepted. THE Dave of the itinerant ministry have re- turned, and the Rev. Dr. Newman will go on circuit—to Japan. He trayels, like Lorenzo and Peggy Dow, with his wife, M. F.—,ona free steamship pass. 1 refer to the M.
