TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS.

By Editor

We feel inexpressibly sad to say that some of you are sharers with us in our loss. At the time of our fire we had quite a large quantity of good matter on hand, some sent to us with the request that it be returned if not used, and in every respect of course we designed to accede to their wishes; but the fire has consumed every line of our copy, and we feel that we are indeed losers in very much of this loss. We had on hand a large quantity of original poems; they are all gone. One or two serial articles that we were about to begin in the SIGNS are gone, together with some musical contributions that were worthy of publication, and would have been published in a short time. We wish that it were in our power to reproduce them, but it is not.

We still ask our old contributors to remember us. Those, too, who have sung such sweet songs in the SIGNS in the poems they have sent; we ask them also to remember us still. If any of our friends can send us good photographs of historical places, or characters, or current events near them without too much trouble, we would be glad to receive these.
