0. Arland, who sent a most interest
ing letter to his aunt, Mis- Matt. An
derson Of Mt Horeb, from Monttlopa
Luzon, Sept. l. He says IN part:
up TO last night we have not had
a drop of rain for the last ten days,

pray for rain, as the rice crop needs
moisture. II started in last night at

up all day today, wind and rain in d
deluge, and | see by a weather bulle-
tin that there is q bad typh0on raging
outside Manila on the China sea.

papers / sent you. 1t H. a blessing
to get them and still there are 500
more to come from America, and that

be scattered over the islands, and Ma
