To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God even to his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever--AMEN. Revelations, chap. 1.

      From the beloved Dr. Richardson--Extract. Bro. Hayden's visit to this country has been productive of much good; in three weeks he immersed twenty-seven, and you will be pleased to hear that the brethren dealt very honorably by him. We expect him to return in the fall or spring. In the mean time he is to be succeeded on this ground by Bro. Alton, whom he has persuaded to visit us. The disciples are at present very much alive, and see the great necessity of employing some one to proclaim the truth. I immersed one here last Lord's day.

      Sister Osborn spent some time during the winter at Braddock's field, where--once delivered a discourse. When Bro. James M'Elroy went up to bring her home, he found one or two who wished to be immersed. He and Bro. Young went up soon after and held a meeting at which nine came forward and were baptized; they left an appointment for Bro. Hayden, who went up in a few days and immersed six more. They now meet together, and the disciples from Pittsburgh visit them. Yours in the Beloved.
