| Anniversary OF the American Home Mis-
sionary Society.
The sixteenth anniversary of this valuable nstitn-
ton was held on "Wednesday evening in the Taber-
| nace. The house was almost as much crowded as
in the forenoon, on occasion of the meeting of the
Tract Society. As usual, the ladies', old and young,
fair and passabe formed by far the largest portion
of the audience. The accommodations for the re-
porters were miserable they were on any
former occasion at the Tabernacle, and that is say
ing good deal The table at which they had to
write was situated at corner OF the platform on
the floor of the building, and at quite remote point
from the speakers. The consequence was, that il
at times utterly impossible TO catch word, and
it with the greatest difficulty that reporter
was enabled to catch any of the speakers. Why is
there not large table placed Immediately behind
the chair, and set apart for the exclusive use of the
representatives of the pressl
The Rev. HENRY WHITE, of Geneva, n Y, the
President of the Society, occupied the chair. The
exercises were commenced by music, and brief
and appropriate prayer by the Rev. DIR. Goldman.
The Report of the Treasurer read by Jasper
Corning Esq, and from 1t it appeared that the affairs
| OF the Society are In prosperous condition. The
Rev. Milton Badger, of the Secretaries for cor
respondence, then read the Report of the Executive
Committee. OF this document, however, it was
impossible to catch the details. At least hun
dred additional aborers had entered the field &C.
cupied by this Society during the past year. BY e
Kindness OF the Secretary we were favored with
copy OF the Report, and go enabled to present
