GETTY.

OF THE AGENT OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE So
GETTY.
To the Secretaries Of the American Bible So
cietg.
GENTLEMEN Five years have elapsed since
entered the service of the American Bible So
cIety, my fifth ANNUAL report will embrace not
only The results Of the past year efforts but al
so condensed statement of what has been &C
complished tor the Bible cause, on the field as
signed To re, during the past five years
The held originally embraced Eastern WiscOn-
SIN and North Eastern Illinois Since then it has
oeeh six tines enlarged until il now comprises
Wisconsin, twenty tive counties in Northern
Illinois, and the Territory OF Minnesota The
area Is larger than the VIII le of New England,
| although II contains population of but about
| 700 600
Nearly an uniform plan has been pursued from
i the commencement, and arrangements have been
so sytematzed that the machinery is now muv-
ing on with almost the regularity OF clock
work.
We have operated from the beginning, thro'
the medium OF auxiliary and branch societies -
The number has been increased from wear to
year until there are now Al societies anyliarv
to the American Bible Society and abon, 39l
branches of the auxiliaries Connected with
these are the same number of Bible Deposito-
rleS, 50 arranged that but few places are more
than five miles from one of them
There are also connected with these societies,
not FAR iro'n 3 500 local agents, all of whom
have specific i,d, in which they are expected
TO raise funds and circulate the scriptures. 70
! keep these societies in active operations the
General Agent, who attend the annual IN aetng-
and assist the local agents in their work. The
results are follows.

u The Commercial Advertiser, at Racine in
speaking of the failure of their place to obtain
an appropriation in the report of the committee
in Congress, says:
We must settle with our Member" He it is
that has betrayed" US.
Now all we have to say about this matter a,
present, is tina, it would be gnn,emanly and hon
orabe, TO ascertain the facts in the case and the
reasons why their place was not inserted in the
bill for an appropriation, before it makes charge
OF betrayal upon our 'member"
We know that Mr.. DURKEE has not acted un-
lair or dlshonorable in the matter, because we
know the man; and he would not be likely to in
this case, since he knows how delicate a position
he occupies, and would do nothing that he could
not satisfy his enemies that he right in doing.

ANOTHER COLLISION,

1t is but week or two since we had occasion
to mention an accident which occurred on the
Michigan Central Rail Road by the collision of
the cars Las, Tuesday another calamity of
the same nature happened, by which four pas
sengers were killed, besides a number being
wounded. How much longer this shocking
waste Of human life by the rail road and steam
boat proprie.ors of the country will be tolerated
by the government or encouraged by the travel
ing community, remains to be seen. There is
mo scruple in community about hanging a man
mp like dog, who shall kill single individual
in fit OF ntoXicoton, or madness. But no pun
ishment is thought Of for these rail road conduc-
TOYS and engineers, Who in cool blood, slaughter
scores of their fellow men in jffy, and would
slaughter hundreds did not a proyidental acct
dent turn up to save them. 1t is about as much
as a mans life is worth, to run the risk of tray
cling on the rail roads. Wards Boats are the
only safe lhing in this country, thus far.

The Galcna Gazette speaks as follows:
The spring Tins far, has been about as bad as
any that has been remembered for many years :
the reads are in shocking condition. The teams,
young and nnhardened, journey of a hundred
miles has broken down in many instances, and i,
is believed that not one-half of those who up to
this time have crossed the Mississippi. will 90
beyond Council Bluffs. We hear of the return
of some parties who were fitted out with mule
teams, men whom nothing but the certainty of
disaster could turn back, have abandoned the iu-
tentlon Of crossing the plains, or of seeking Cal
tOrnla. This, II seems 10 Us, is true wisdom -
Men, whole towns and villages, nearly, this sea-
son, have gone off to California. Itwould seem
as if there was some panic in the public mind
that prompted them TO leave home and friends
and Try their fortunes elswhere But, the foyer
may now be said to be fairly broken, and the
patient, though feeble and debiitated, is recover
ing. May he be in alter life, exempt from so
Der.ous an epidemic.
