Yearly Meeting OF Friends held meeting last
evening at the House, Race street, above Fif-
teenth. VIM. @. Biddle read the report Of the
Central Committee. After giving brief account
Of the origin Of the association the report states
that during the past season it Is believed the
objects desired in its appointment have been
gained The duties intrusted to its care have
been performed quietly and without interruption
under the cheering consciousness that the inter
est in the cause of the Indian has been general
throughout the society, as shown by liberal con-
tributions both of money and goods.
A Home has been established at the NemehR
Agency whieh has the care of sixteen orphan
children. The Home cannot be continued with
ont the liberal aid OF friends until such time as
the Government shall allow the Indians to sell
their lands, when they will have the means TO
carry out their own civilization. The account OF
the day school established this winter on this
reservation is encouraging. The agent reports
that everything progresses satisfactorily under
the care Of two efficient teachers.
At the Great Nemeha Agency Thirty Indian
families now live in houses, all furnished with
bedsteads and nearly all with tables and chairs.
John Saunders, Treasurer, reported that during
the past year the receipts in money were

Immigration this year promises to become
az large as at any former season. and probably
larger number will land on our shores than ey-
er before within the same time. Germany is
pouring ont her Agricultural laborers and peas
antry at wonderful rate, and when they reach
our shores ey push straight on to the far West.
The ambi ion OF the German peasant is TO scrape
enough money together to permit him to take
ship Tor America, where he colonies at once
and takes kindly to Republican institutions. In
certain sections Of the West it is said that this
class of immigration is pouring in at an unexam-
pied rate. All fall to work at once and become
producers, thus helping to enrich the country
by their labor, and drawing after them oontin-
nOns lime Of frienda and relAiinnA.
