The Bible Cause in IliinOis..Resu

The last day OF March closes the financial
year Of the American Bible Society, when
agents are expected to prepare statements Of
results on the respective fields during the
last twelve months. The following is the
statement for Illinois.
The number Of new branch societies form.
cd is about l75, thus increasing the whole
number to not far from 52j. The number
Of auxiliary or County Societies is about
100, making an aggregate Of CPS Bible Soci.
cites in the State, each Of which has dcpos-
tory.
The number Of local (unpaiD Agents,
connected with these Societies, is about A.
600
The amount of funds raised during the
past year has been
From sales of books about $4,000
From donati MS 10000
Making n total of $4,000.
OF this amount the County Societies have
expended for freight and exchange, and for
labor and expenses, in forming and sustain
ing branch societies, raising funds, -circula-
ling books, establishing repositories, &c,
about $500
RENTED to the A. b. S. in
payment for Books $1,000
RENTED to the A. b. S. as
donations to aid in supplying
other places G,500
Making total of 10000.
The number of books circulated is not far
from $4,000. The number of families found
during the year In the State, without an en-
tire Bible, is estimated at 10000; and the
number of children able to read and without
Tcstamcnts of their own, at 10000; many Of
these families and individuals have been sup
piled by gift, and others, as well as many
who had only partial supply, by sale, at
the societies low prices.
1t will be seen by subtracting the dona-
tons appropriated for the supply Ct the dcs-
titute elsewhere, $4,000 from the whole
amount given, $4,000 that .$l3,5 of
these gifts have been expended on the field,
and that for every dollar thus expended over
four Bibles or Testaments have been put in
circulation.
1t is gratifying to be able to report SO
large an amount RENTED to the parent in
stitution, as free donation; but il should
be remembered that until recently, Illinois
has been beneficiary OF the American Bible
Society, rather than help to il; and that it
is now only returning what it received during
its early history.
While the results of the past year afford
reason for congratulation, we do not forget
that the work of supplying the State and the
world with the Scriptures is not yet accom-
plshcd, and that continued efforts will be
necessary Every friend Of the Bible should
make an annual subscription, and pay the
amount of itpromptly, at the commencement
Of each year.
Our aim is to have 1000 Bible Societies in
Illinois, and to make 1t the banner State of
the West, so far as the Bible cause is con.
ccrcd
Several travelling agents are now in the
field, organizing new Societies, fostering old
ones, raising funds circulating books, &c.
There will be openings for others of the
ri0ht STAMP, almost constantly. Applicants
can address the subscriber at this place.

AWFUL DIsCOvEw--A WHOLE FAMILY

AWFUL DIsCovEgy--A WHOLE FAMILY
MURDEHEp.--Thc Indianapolis Sentinel oil
the 18th inst. contains the details OF one oil
the most horrible cases Of wholesale murder
we have read of in many days. 1t appears
there was living, in small cabin on the ca
nal, a few miles from indianapolis, French
family composed oflathcr, mother, and live
children. Some time last fall this family
mystcriousy disappeared, and on enquiry
being made ut the cabin, il was found to he
occupied by Mr.. Hubbard and his wife,
who represented that they had bought
out the Frcnchman, and that he had moved
to Illinois. circumstances, subsequently,
however, led to suspicious that all was not
right, and several officers concluded 10
search the premises, when, in n hole under
the floor the entire French family were
found. The Ind. Sentinel says;
"7heir skulls acere all broken in, and tie
iegs Of tie oil man French and his Wito nere
brokea, so that they couM be dOubied up and
ferret into the hole, nhjch ras three or J6ur
feet deep! They were LAID IN A HEAP, the
FATHER AND MOTHER at the BOTTOM and the
children at the top. The babe was about iii-
teen months Old, and the oldest child about
fifteen years old. There were three girls and
two boys. The children were much decay
ed, but the parents were still sound, ard
were easily recognized by those who had
known them.
There is not the least doubt but what the
Hubbards are guilty Of this WHOLESALE AND
pAMNING MURDER 1t is almost too horrible
for belief but facts are as above stated, and
the conclusion is irresistible. The Hub
bards are in Jail. Mrs. Hubbard will be ex.
amincd to-day. There seems to have been
no other motive than obtaining what few
worldly goods this poor family possessed,
which were not worth over FIFTY DOLLARS!
