NEW YORK.

Perry's Mills, Clinton Co.—We have been holding meetings in a school-house near this place for the past twelve days. When we came, there was but one family here that kept the Sabbath, and scattered over the county there were eight or ten others who were holding on to present truth. We preached seventeen times, and the interest increased from the commencement to the close of our meetings. Toward the last, the house, even after bringing in extra seats, would not hold the people, and several loads drove away.
We obtained four subscribers for our periodicals, sold several books, distributed over three hundred pages of tracts, and received by contribution $6.05, and some pledged to pay the tithe. We are convinced that, like many places in the north-eastern part of this State, this is a good field for labor. A. H. HALL. J. WILBUR.
South Pierrepont, Silver Hill, and Fine.—In company with Bro. F. A. Hall, director, I visited the church at South Pierrepont Jan. 19, for the purpose of organizing a tract society. We found that though their numbers were small, they “had a mind to work.” This little church numbers only fifteen, yet we organized a society of eleven members, and three or four absent ones will probably join. They took a set of librarians’ books, pass books, etc. Union, love, and harmony prevail here. May God bless the little church at South Pierrepont; and he surely will as long as this union and spirit of labor exists.
Jan. 20, I met with the Silver Hill church. Spoke from John 17:3. Many cheering testimonies were borne, and a desire was expressed to fully consecrate themselves to the Lord.
The evening of the 24th, I commenced meetings again in Fine. A great deal of prejudice exists here, and the ground is cursed to a great extent by a “Crisis” influence. None have as yet decided to obey the truth, still we trust that the seed sown will yet bear fruit. Obtained one subscriber for the weekly Instructor, two for the Review two months, and two for Good Health four months. MILTON C. WILCOX. Fine, Jan. 28.
