J. Wood of Hayerstraw, N. Y. has, as
we learn by the North River Times in-
vented new mode of making brick
which is esteemed much superior to the
common kinds in use. Ii is by mixing
pulverised anthracite coal with the clay,
whereby IL burns with more facility, and
becomes harder and more inpervlous to

AMERICAN ANTI.sLAvERY soClE.


abstract oCMe Third annual Report
Tho report commences with grateful
recognition Of obligations to Him who
'stllleth the noise of the waves and the
tumult of the people, through whose ever
ruling care even the enemies of the cause
have been made even to promote it.
We have 10 adequate means of cstina-
ting the increase of avowod and thorough
aboIitionists during the last year much
less the general change of public sentiment
in favor OF the slave yet the limited re-
turns of societies actually organized, may
! be instructive to those who have been, or
professed to be, incredulous of the progress
Of the cause. Three hundred and twenty
! eight new Societies have been formed since
the last report. The whole number now
known to the Committee is 526 OF these.
only PSI have reported their number of
members, making an aggregate of %, lS2
members. From II Societies have been
received reports Of their number of MEM
bers ut their respective dates of organiza-
ton, from which it appears that their socic-
ties were organized with 1855 members, or
an average of 40 members each, and have
now increased to 975o, or an average of
100 members each.
AUXILIARIEs.
State auXiliaries have been formed dur
ing the year in New-YorIi and Rhode Isl
and, which have entered very efficiently
into the work. The State auxiliary of
Massachusetts, in point of age, aud in fact
the parent of all the Anti-Savery Societies,
has gone forward with itr characteristic ar
dor and devotion, having expended during
the past year not less than $4,000. That, of
Maine has resolved to raise $4,000 for the
coming year, 1887 of which was suhscrib-
eel at its anniversary. That of New lIamp-
shire, which will hold its anniversary in
June, has expended literally, and will not
fall behind any of its sisters. That Of Yer
mont has expended the present year e46l, |
and has voted to IA Use $4,000 for the coming
year, $672 of which was immediatly sub
scribed The Auxiliary of New York. at
its meeting in Peterboro,' raised n sub .
of $1,000. That of Rhode Island /
pledged itself to raise $4,000 for the first
year, which was subscribed on the spot
The Ohio State Auxiliary, at lis anniversa-
~ at Granville on the 9th ult., resolved to /
raise $4,000, 1900 of which was subscrib-

lucky has heen prevented by the violence
Of Shareholders from active cXertions by
agents or the press. But the press of Mr.
3irney, now at Cincinnati, is perhaps acting
not less efficiently upon that state, than if
t were within its borders.
From the reports of the trcnsuscr and
agent, it will appear that the
otal receipts of the Americas Anti-Slave-
" Society, since the last anniversary, have
,cen $25, 5000, being an increase of SIS,
'll OF over the receipts of last year. With
hcse funds the committee have been ena-
lied to keep in the field a number Of agents,
md to publish aud extensively ditiuse

cts, and larger works, viz:

Total number of impressions,

This amount is exclusive Of the publica-
tions OF other societies and individuals,
which have been purchased and dissent
mated by this society. 1t will be seen by
n comparison with the last report, that the
issues of publication this year have been
nine times rs great as those of last year, at
only about fpc times the expense.
OF the periodical publications, which at
first were issued almost entirely by gratui
toIs distribution, 14,O00 copies monthly
are now taken up by paying subscribers.
So much has the demand for anti-slavery
publications increased during the year, that
the committee have decided to issue the
Emancipator weekly, of the same size of
the present monthly. BY this arrangement
it is not designed TO supersrde the monthly,
which it is proposed still to issue in large
quantities for gratultous distribution, under
a new name.
AGENTS.
In the course of the past year, the Socic-
ty has employed 10 agents, for longer or
shorter periods, as agents or lecturers
The entire amount of service performed
by these individuals is not less than eight
years.
In this connection the committee would
not forget 10 mention the services of those
noble hearted and devoted men, Charles
Stuart md George Thompson. The for
mer has during the year given his time, and
more than his time, gratuitously to this
cause. The latter while he remained with
us, labored most ahundantIy, and gained
multitudes of converts.
Our brethren Stuart and Thompson are
accused Of being foreigners, ms if it were
a crime for foreigner, while submitting
himself to our laws, openly to discuss with
us, in our own halls and churches, the
propriety of our institutions! Is our re-
pnblicansln thing that fears open discus
sion? much more TO discuss morals
Such we, t'least, have never understood it
TO he; and among the last rights we shall
be disposed to yield 10 the spirit Of slavery,
is the right TO welcome and listen to such
foreigners ms George Thompson, nor will
we cease our efforts TO overthrow the spirit
that prosecuted him, till he shall he wei
coined back, TO share with MS the triumph
of those principles which he nobly jcop-
arded life 10 prOmulgute.
The spirit of the last annual meeting
gave tone TO the year. Its noble effort TO
raise $4,000 for the Soceity's funds was
most magnanmously seconded by the New
England Convention soon after, aud at the
annual meeting Of the Hampshire
State Society. The Methodist clergy of
the central part of New England joined
the standard Of abolition almost in body,
and with strong arms and stout hearts.
There We're also strong accessions from
other classes of Christians. The various
public conversations in the month of May,
seemed to have brought into vigorous lifs
