White Robes.—This is the title of a new Sunday-school singing book, a copy of which we have received from the publishers, Oliver Ditson & Co., Boston, Mass. It is sent forth in a neat cover, well bound, contains 128 pages, and 125 songs and hymns. A. J. Abbey and M. J. Munger are the authors,—names which are a good guaranty that the book contains its full share of choice gems in this line of song.

Through the courtesy of the Commissioner, Jas. M. Neasmith, we have received the Report of the State Land Office of the State of Michigan for the year ending Sept. 30, 1879. There have been issued during the year 397 homestead licenses, covering 27,326 acres of land. The sales have been in small parcels, and to parties who will generally become actual settlers.

Vick's Illustrated Floral Guide.—We have received the 1880 edition of this work. It is a beautiful book of 100 pages, one colored flower plate, and 500 illustrations, with descriptions of the best flowers and vegetables, with price of seeds and how to grow them. All for a five-cent stamp. In English or German. Mr. Vick also publishes an illustrated Magazine, monthly, 32 pages. Each number contains a colored plate and many fine engravings. Price $1.25 a year. Specimen number 10 cts. Address James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.

The Floral Monthly appears as a new candidate for favor among those who love flowers, and floral decorations of any kind. Vol. 1, No. 1, January, 1880, has come to our table. Eight pages, illustrated. Fifty cents only for one year. Specimen copies free. Published by W. E. Morton & Co., 615 Congress St., Portland, Me.

Notice of expiration of subscription will be given by special stamp on the margin of the paper. We should be pleased to receive your renewal at once.

Notice.—The change of figures on the address labels will be in all cases a sufficient receipt for money sent for the paper. If these changes do not in due time appear, and if books ordered by mail are not received, notice should be given. All other business is acknowledged below.

My address, till further notice, will be Battle Creek, Mich. H. W. Decker.

To Dist. No. 8, Kansas.—R. F. Barton, of Noble, Rice Co., is appointed director of Dist. No. 8, Kansas T. and M. Society. Smith Sharp, Pres.

Persons likely to want tents the coming season would do well to send to Wm. Armstrong, 241 S. Water St., Chicago, for price list of all sizes of tents and camp furniture.

E. D. Hurlbert, having decided to devote his time to the interests of the missionary work, wishes to rent his farm—about 60 acres under cultivation, small house, and stabling—to some good trusty Sabbath-keeper. Address at once E. D. Hurlbert, Valparaiso, Saunders Co., Neb.

I would like to hire a Sabbath-keeper who is a young married man with a small family, to work on my farm next season,—one who will board himself and rent a small house I own on the farm. I want one accustomed to farming, and who is not afraid of hard work. Gorham Newcomb. Akron, Erie Co., N. Y.

To Dakota T. and M. Society.—The last general meeting of our T. and M. society was an annual meeting; and W. T. Henton, Parker, Turner Co., was elected State Secretary in place of D. T. Biggs. Hereafter, therefore, you will receive orders from, and correspond with, him, relative to our society business. S. B. Whitney.
