School. The Sabbath before the Ere its schol-
ars numbered one hundred, a large majority Of
whom never attended Sabbath School. The
young ladies of the Chestnut Street Sabbath
School had organized society for the purpose
of clothing and assisting the needy; and ey-
erything seemed to indicate glorious results fol
the enterprise, but, the building in which the
school was held, being situated on Franklin
street, was consumed with nearly all of its con-
tents, as were the homes of nearly every child
who attended there. The loss to the school in
books and furniture was very severe and it

getting up the school, lost either their place of
business or their home, and several lost BOTH
The officers and teachers determined however
not to abandon the enterprise but to do what
they could to alleviate as far as in their power,
the condition, both spiritual and temporal, of
those whom Providence seemed to place in
their care. They therefore procured the
Chestnut Street camp-meeting tent, and held
the school in it until it was needed for the
yearly meeting, when our gentlemanly High
Sheriff kindly allowed them the use of the
Chapel over the Jail, where the school will be
held until other accommodations can be OBJ
tanned The scholars numbered last Sabbath
sixty-one; and to see their smiling faces as
they were being taught the Word of God and
received their little books and papers richly
REPAID us for visiting them. The managers of
the school feel very thankful for. the donations
OF their friends, but are still embarrassed for
want of funds, and those who feel disposed to
assist them may rest assured that funds placed
in their hands will be gratefully received and
judiciously expended.

calculate to supply demand that has long

fallen far short of the demand. Cargoes OF
grain can be landed at the mill from vessels
and meal taken ON board. They hope to have
the mill in operation by the middle of Noyem-
