with increased prosperity and encouragement
and the Board would ascribe praise to God, to
whom alone it belongs The Board has not as
heretofore been stratened in their efforts. Once the
press scarce noticed the society," only to Willy;
anym secular and religious journals exert an extern
sive influence IN behalf of purity. The Aduocate Of
Moral Reform has been sustained as usual-has had
average circulation OF some twelve thousand copies
per number. Seventy-tlree thousand pages of tracts
have been published during the year. Nine editions
of the IVaNs of Usefnlness' have been published.
The Board regard il as highly important TO the ele-
walton of female characterize the energies of woman

of the might be saved, if some of the of
business now closed to them, such scerkships re
tail dry goods stores &C. be opened to them. Overa
thousand dollars have been received from book sales,
and balance remains in the treasury Early in the
summer the city authorities were petltoned to place
matrons in the city prison and on Backwes Island,
which was done, and great Improvement in the in
mates has taken place IN consequence. The Bethel

port il appears that fifteen hundred and fiftytwo
sells have been vlslted-eleycn thousand eight hum
dred and eighty-nne papers-also, scventy-seven
thousand two hundred and tifty-sx pages OF tracts
distributed.
