Il liberal 8er.-We copy the following
from the Herald Of Religious Liberty, pub
lished in this city Louis Union.
A gentleman in this city has authorized
US to say that one 5. S. Library of 100 vol
umes, worth $40 will be given to each and
every county in this State upon thier ma
king known to US that they have after this
date organized a Sabbath School consisting
of q superintendent, five teachers, and
twenty five scholars, and who signify their
intention to use every effort to keep the
school alive.
On a Library Of 200 volumes to a new
school of ten teachers and fifty scholars
The first one so organized in the country
will have the preference. And should it
happen that two should apply by the same
mail, both shall be supplied.
Should any Elcmentry Books, Question
Books, T~estaments, &C., be wanted, as
some doubtless will be, they shall be furn-
ished at the Philadelphia prices.
The books will be delivered on board Of
any steamboat, or TO any house in the city
free Of charge.
This offer may be considered good for
one year from date.
1t is important that in each case the ap-
plicant should be particular in giving the
address Of the person to whom the books
arc to be consigned, and the name Of the
landing.
Communications must be addressed to
kieth s. Woods, Post Paid.
Papers in this State friendly to the cause
are respectfully requested to give publicity
to this matter.
Postmasters and others will confer a favor
by making the above known to the friends
of Sabbath Schools.
This is a liberal proposition and the
friends Of Morality will not fail to accept
generous a contribution for the sake of
children. Louisiana has had a school of
this character organized and in successful
operation for some time, will its managers
not make application Immediately? The
child that attends regularly a Sabbath
School, in early lifestands double the chane
Of being respected in after life.
VERA CRuz.-The New Orleans Plea
'yune Of the 26th, says:
It is said that the guerrillas in the vicinity of
Vera Cruz, are taking measures to distress the
inhabitants of that city by cutting offthe supple.
of provisions daily sent in. Hitherto the coun-
try folks have been allowed to carry on thei.
marketing fresley; now, acting under superior
orders, the guerrillars are cutting off this traffic.
The Arco Iris protests against such a measure,
if it has the sanction of the Governor of the State
of Vera Cruz. 1t denounces it as inhuman, as
bearing intOllerably upon the poorer class of cit
liens, and as certain to bring upon the country
the curse Of foreign as well as civil war.
