Clinton, Dec. 16. I CLOSED meetings at the Texas meeting-house last evening. Have held in all about thirty meetings. The attendance has been rather poor; however, a few have embraced the Sabbath reform, and regular meetings are appointed. To-morrow evening I commence a series of meetings six miles north of Clinton, where I understand several good families are deeply interested. C. H. BLISS.

Morris, Grundy Co., Dec. 16. I HAVE held eight meetings in a school-house about five miles north of Morris. The congregations have been good, and some are very much interested. I have given away some tracts, and sold $1.35 worth. I had no opposition until yesterday, when the directors, under the influence of the Lutheran priest, shut up the house. I am sorry that I cannot have the house, but I shall now visit among the people. I have had the blessing of the Lord during my labors here. LEWIS JOHNSON.
