Leesburg.—The Sabbath-school in this place numbers twenty-seven. All were present. Donations amounted to $1.20, never having been less than 50 cts. The interest was quite good, and lessons to correspond. Ten copies of the Instructor are used to induce children to attend the school. The recitations will be by synopsis hereafter. Song Anchors were purchased, and arrangements made for a singing class for the children one evening in each week. D. W. REAVIS.

Appleton, July 28.—We are now in the midst of a good interest to hear. People come from a radius of fifteen miles to attend the meetings. Last night the tent was full, and many had to remain outside. We have been canvassing the Sabbath question for nearly two weeks. The people acknowledge that “these things are so,” yet there is a manifest slowness to move out, a few only having decided to keep all the commandments. Have no opposition, ministers wisely remaining quiet. We feel the need of a more thorough consecration to the work in which we are engaged, that the Lord may display his mighty power here. A. O. BURRILL.

Liberty Center, July 28.—We took down our tent last Thursday, and moved it six miles north into the country, where we pitched again, and commenced meetings Friday night. Congregations are good. Between three and four hundred attended our Sunday evening meeting. Since Bro. Carright’s report a few more have joined the church in Liberty Center, and three new ones have commenced to keep the Sabbath. The interest is such in this vicinity that we have thought best to divide our force for a short time, Brn. Bigelow and Hoffer going four miles west to hold a series of meetings in the Christian union church. Arrangements for building a meeting-house are progressing finely. O. F. GUILFORD.
