Raid no.2 was made last week by a force of five thousand commanded by the redoutable old Morgan. They took Corydon Salem and some other small places and stole a smart chance of money and horses and tore up the railroad in various places. The latest I hear from him, he had got into Ohio.

Our last quarterly meeting on this circuit will be at the Scarlett school house next Saturday and Sunday week. And the Saturday following there will be a quarterly meeting at Hickory Grove on the Haysville Circuit.
