too fresh TO Withstand the water. The whole
fell in upon them, and but fifteen of the num-

were there that we know aught of except
John O.. Wattles and his wife, who were
among the saved.
ouR PROSPECTS.
We shall probably have about as good ira
yelling here, as you have around Salem, and
not much better. Our friends Valentine
Nicholson, DR.. Brooke and Abraham Allen,
with whom we have consulted, think that
we shall be able to get up good meetings in
the places round about. They are all Of them
very much interested in our mission, and have
been mapping out a plan of operations for us,
and making all necessary arrangements
Some OF our first meetings will Of course be
small-the severity Of the cold, the badness
OF the roads, and the shortness of the notice,
will necessarily so result. The friends here
did not expect us SO soon, because Of the
floods, and although we have taken them ra-
ther unawares, yet they think a good deal can
be done. We hope their anticIpations may

that not only were Sons of Temperance en-
gagged in this revival, but Daughters of Tenn

SLIGO, Goth.
We have had meetings 4, this place, Ches-
ter, Centre, and Harveysburg, and are glad
to find that our gatherings increase in int.
rest, and become larger as the time for circu-
iatlng notices is longer. The people we have
met generally manifest a desire to hear the
Constitutions question discussed. and thus
far we have paid more attention to State than
Church affairs, but do not intend by any
means to let the Brotherhood escape without
due notice. AT several of our meetings We
have had questions raised by those who were
