Sunday School Statistics.

The secretary of the Wisconsin
Sunday School Union has handed rs
as following circular letter. Com
plete reports from every S. S. in the

If the Supt. Sect. and officer Of each

School fail to receive blanks they
can be procured free, by writing to
Il. A. Wheeler Sect. Milwaukee or if
preferred, send in report giving the
items, called for by the circular prin-

tally desires the assistance of all
Pastors, ministers, presiding Elders,

within their fields of labor. Also
that county secretaries forward their
latest statistics in regard to their
respective counties.
He will be thankful to receive the

DEAR BROTHER The State S. S.
Union encouraged by partial success,
now desires to obtain an accurate re-
port from every school in the state.
This will involve great labor and
perseverance, but can be accomplish
ed.
You may personally aid US in this
good work, by filing out the accom-
panying blanks, for the year ending
December, 3lst 1866, and returning
it to the undersigned Immediately.
Gathering statistics is but a preli-
minary work. The ultimate and
grander aim, is, to mature and adopt
plans for gathering all the children
and youth of Wisconsin, into Sabbath
Schools and to elevate the standard
of Bible instruction.
10 aid in one department is to help
on the other. Send us the complete
returns, and have a share in the bles
sed results which under God we be-
lieve will surely follow.
Each school is earnestly requested
to contribute something, however
small, toward meeting the necessary
expenses of the State Executive

Cordially and hopefully,
Yours IN the S. S. cause,

CHANGE IN A BILLIARD RuLE.-As
billiards are largely patronized, the
following change in the rule relative
to frozen balls" will be of interest to
many. This rule is announced by
the veteran author of the rules gov
erning the game OF billiards and has
already taken effect:
"When the cue ball is in contact
with any other ball, the striker may
effect count either by playing first
upon some ball other than that with
which his own is in contact, or by
playing against the cushion, or by a
masSe. In either of the two last
mentioned cases, it is immaterial
which ball the returning cue ball
strikes first. These stipulations OBJ
served, the play can then be pursued
entirely as if the balls had not been
in contact"
