We hope you may be able, Bro.

making decided improvement in the

We make the following extract Of a
letter from Bro. E. T. RAwsoN, Of
Good Samaritan Division, No. 49,.
Columbus. The circumstances al
ludad To. makes some small discount
from our high hopes and expectations
from that quarter. We hope, how.
ever, that these symptoms of retro
grade progression will eventually take
a more favorable turn, particularly as
by the new constitution the Legisla-
ture is only a7lOred to sit there once

"At a meeting of the G. Samariton
Div, No. %, S. of t., held this even
ing, the r. S. was instructed to order
one thousand copies Of the address
read before the Grand Division at its
late Session in Circeville, for which
you will please find five dollars en-
closed, and one dollar to pay for two
hundred additional copies to be sent
to the address of PETER SELLS, of this
city. The 1000 copies for the Divi.
sion you will send to the R. S. of the
Division; but send them all by ex.
press, at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, for we wish to distribute them

masses, for some time past, has been
evidently waning, and, as a conse.

OF this was given us on the night o
the election, when tragedies were en-
acted disgraeeful to a hcathen people
to say nothing of their occurrance il
a civilized community"
Bro. HIATT, of East Riberty, Ohio
writes as follows
