have made great progress in study.  Most of them have much fondness for arithmetic.  They have also cultivated as a garden fifteen acres of land, and have raised a large quantity of corn, potatoes, onions, beets, et cet., which will be useful to them at sea.  In some places we visited, the audience were astonished at the performance of Kali, who is only eleven years of age.  He would not only spell any word in either of the Gospels, but spell sentences, without any mistake, such sentences as ’Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,’ naming each letter and syllable, and recapitulating as he went along, until he pronounced the whole sentence.  Two hundred and seven dollars were received at this meeting.

“’On Sabbath evening a meeting was attended in Rev. Mr. Beman’s Church, (colored.) It was impossible for all to gain admittance—­collected sixteen dollars and fifty-one cents.  The same evening a meeting was held at Elder N.
