While attending the late session of the Ohio Con-
ference in Pqua learned that about two hundred of
the slaves liberated by the will of Mr. Randolph were
for the present. living in that place. Having curos-
y to see them, went on the Sabbath, in company
with friend, to Sabbath school in which nearly all
of them are receiving instruction. They all We
ry ignorant many SO ignorant that they could not tell
how many fingers they had upon their hand but most
appeared quite anxious to learn. Some could scarcely
restrain their Joy they learned the of letter.
or discovered the connection between word and the
thing signfed. Upon returning to my lodgings,
found five of the young men, none OF them probably
under twenty years of age Though one did not know
how old he was, sitting in circle the door, with
each his primer in hand trying to learn the alphabet
After aiding them awhile, questioned them little re-
specting their religious knowledge; when, to my as
constituent, found that two of them did not know
that they had souls. The other three had heard their
preacher say they had" but one of them supposed
that his soul and body were the same, and the other
two that the soul was nothing but the breath. Though
some of them had heard Of God none uf them had any
thing like scrptura idea of his being or attributes.
Two of them, at least, had no knowledge ofsuch be-
ing Jesus Christ Those who had heard the preach
talk about him" knew nothing of his nature, knew
not to what order of beings he belonged They had
heard the preacher say that he was in heaven, but
whether he had ever lived upon the earth they could
not tell None of them had any idea Of his having di-
ed to save them. But one or two knew that there was
such book the Bble and these did not know that
it was a revelation from God.
For the correctness of these statements land could
make more OF similar character | refer to the Rev.
Mr.. Herr and DR.. Baker, of the Ohio Conference who
were present, and aided in the examination. For the
present, offer comments upon these facts, will
attempt to describe the effect which the deyeope
ment of them produced upon my own feelings. viii
add that the these unfortunate
pie is evidently not the result of stupidity, for most
with whom conversed manifested quite an aptness to
learn; some, indeed exhibiting more than ordinary
powers of apprehension. They are Ignorant because
knowledge has been shut out from them; and yet
assured that Judge Lee the benevolent executor
Of the will, who has abored so faithfully for their free
dom and comfort, stated that they were remarkably
well Informed for slaves, having had than ordna-
ry opportunities. Alas for those who are in grosser
darkness Yours truly,

A Memorial
TO the Members of the General Assembly 1:

TO the Members Of the General Assembly:
COMMUNICATING matter of public notoriety,
we may well presume it to be known to each indvidu-
al member of Legislature, which by the provision of
the Constitution IS composed of persons most noted
for wisdom" well as virtue" that in the year 1884,
this same Legislature passed law prohibiting, under
penalties the sale of intoxicating drinks unless under
the license of certain Commissioners to be elected by
the people of the several counties of the State But
may not be well known to all, that the people of
Washington County, at the last election Of Commits
soners pronounced against any such traffic by elect
ing board of Commissioners who refuse to license
the sale Of liquors as beverages from which it fol-
lows that the bars of of the public houses of this
village are maintained in open and insulting defiance
of the will of the good people of Washington County,
expressed by their votes and that each individual
act of rum-selling is palpable violation Of law. 1t
follows further that every person who patronzes the
bars of our public houses induces and confedeates
with the Landlord to break an established Statute ofthis
State. Now it is scarce respectful to the members of
your honorable bodies, to presume that some of the
highest officers and most prominent members of EACH
house, with multitude of others of less note and de-
gree, would be seen openly and literally tipping, as
we'll at the public bar in their private rooms it
known to such persons that by of the lack of
license to these landlords to sell liquors. the traffic is
an open and insulting violation of law. Thus presum-
ing, that as lawmakers the honorable members of
your assembly would not knowingly be and notorious
ly appear aw-breakers your memorialist would re-
spectfuly remind you that such practices are as we'll
unlawful as indecent

ons. Convention also voted to recommend for use in
our schools the "Young Anayzer," by McElgott, and
the "Self Instructor" No. J. by Josiah Hobrook, to
used by small children to relieve the tediousness of
the school room and furnish them with useful amuse-
mert. Convention also voted to recommend Roots
system of Penmanship, believing that its use in our
schools would greatly facilitate the learners progress
in this important art
No action was taken by the convention in regard
to books upon the higher branches Of study believing
it better at the present time to conne themselves TO
more elementary subjects.
