Sevastopol, Tent No. 1. Sept. 8.—The interest in our meetings continues. We held our first Sabbath meeting last Sabbath, at which forty were present. Some took part in the meeting, several keeping their first Sabbath. It made quite a change in the village,—a merchant left his store, the shoemaker, harness maker, and the undertaker, closed their shops. Men came from the country with work, but were told they could not get it done till the next day. We are of good courage.

Arcadia and Cicero, Tent No. 3.—Since removing the tent from Arcadia we have continued meetings there twice each week. Have sold $25.00 worth of books, received $14.42 in donations, and obtained fifteen subscribers for our periodicals, besides a club of ten for the Instructor. We have organized there a Sabbath-school of thirty members, and hope to be able to organize a small church soon.

The interest at Cicero is not good, but we hope for some favorable results from our efforts. Two have signed the covenant since we came here, and we have hope of others.

Sept. 8. WM. COVERT. J. P. HENDERSON.
