NELSON & SONS, All the members were present at the meeting of the Executive Committee held 1st mo. 1, 1867. The business committee reported that thirty-two large desks, capable of accommodating four each, had been shipped to the asylum at Helena. These were a donation, through Gen. Buford's wife. John Harvey had left Helena, and returned to his home in Ohio, in consequence of ill-health, caused by overexertion at the asylum during the summer. A donation from the Holloway Freedmen's Association, London, England, of £10-sixty-five dollars-for educational purposes, through Martha Braithwaite, had been received. Half of this had been expended for the Asylum at Helena, and half for that at Lauderdale, in the purchase of maps, charts, &c., which were much needed. In consequence of the delay in the transportation of the cask of childsen's clothing, shipped by Friends in England, in the Ninth month, the Business Committee had purchased a quantity of clothing for both the asylums, some of which had been shipped. The number of children in the Asylum at Helena, in the beginning of 12th mo. was 60; in that at Lauderdale, 98. The report of the organization of a religious meeting at the asylum, near Helena, on the 25th of 11th mo., by our friends Calvin and Alida Clark, (which was noticed in our last number, in a letter from W. T Carpenter,) was read before the Committee, and after deliberate consideration, the Secretary was directed to convey to C. and A. Clark its unity and sympathy with them in this Christian labor. Seven schools were reported for the 11th month. Whole number enrolled: Males, Females, Total, 195 291 486 Average attendance, 301. $78 15 had been collected for tuition, and $13 50 for books. All the children in several of the schools were learning arithmetic, and their progress was reported to be good. Great pains had been taken by the teachers to collect tuition where practicable, but most of the scholars were unable to pay any tuition, or purchase books. Charles S. Hubbard, a member of Raysville Monthly Meeting, Indiana, (who is not a recorded minister,) met with the Committee, and informed it that he had felt a concern to spend some time among the freedmen in the South, principally at our Stations, in reading and teaching, or otherwise laboring for their moral and religious improvement, he having received the unity of his monthly meeting for this service. His prospect was approved of, and the Secretary was directed to furnish him with a letter of introduction. A number of destitute orphan children, at Little Rock, under the care of the Bureau, were recommended to be forwarded to the asylum at Helena, as the committee felt that they could not sustain asylums at both places. Application was received from the Bureau at Little Rock, that the committee should purchase a lot in that city, they offering to appropriate $4,000 for the building of a school house, with a view to a graded system of schools. The houses which are now used are not suitable for the purpose, and will have to be given up. Under these circumstances, the 11 mo. 20. Jesse Wilson, Oak Ridge...11 00 D. Buffum, Newport, R.

On account of the unprecedented snows which occurred at the beginning of the year, the day schools did not open until the second week in the year. On the 8th the colored people commemorated the anniversary of their freedom by the Colored Benevolent Society of Jackson marching, with others, to a new meeting house built within the year, where appropriate speeches were made, and everything passed off pleasantly.

OHIO YEARLY MEETING. 2.50 A letter was received from John Watson, at Jackson, Miss., dated 1st mo. 9, 1867. He left home on the 19th of 12th mo., in company with Mary Binns, of Mount Pleasant, O., for matron, and Elma Cope, of Red Stone, Pa., Mattie J. Pennock and B. C. Ellyson, of Damascoville, O., as teachers, they arrived at Jackson on the 22d, and found their old home ready for them. They found the condition of the blacks much improved At Macon the number of scholars is 140, with the prospect of a large increase. They have a night and First day school. We are also in receipt of a letter from Jonathan Wilson, giving a very encouraging account of the schools, both at Columbus and Macon. The children seemed to take a deep interest in their studies, and were very attentive to the wishes of the teachers, who showed a loving spirit towards their pupils. |
