ne if they would let us alone. Mass meetings are being held in various portions of this county, in behalf of Sabbath Schools and colportage. I attended one of these, at Jerusalem, a few days ago. It was stated that the colporteurs in the employ of the Sunday School and Colportage Board in Richmond, have within three years organized sixty five Sunday Schools in destitute neighborhoods in this State, have found four thousand families destitute of the Bible, and about five thousand with no religious book but the Bible, and have put good books and tracts in two hundred and fifty thousand families. Rev. Masers, Winfree, Bland and Dickinson addressed the meeting in behalf of this good work, and $130 were subscribed. I have just been looking at a farm which seems a very good one, which was sold not long since for $8 per acre. It is strange that lands so near Richmond, within a few miles of a railroad, and probably containing millions of dollars of coal, should sell so cheaply.
