56-100 acres, worth $484. The mission house is very comfortable, newly whitewashed inside and out, and tastefully, though not extravagantly furnished. It is valued at $2,500. The Girls' Orphan School, of brick walls and cemented roof, is fifty feet by seventy-four, exclusive of veranda; value between $2,000 and $2,500. The Orphanage, worth $2,000, is inclosed by a wall, within which a few shrubs are planted, and more might be. Domestic outfit, $837; school requisites, $132; three native helpers' houses, $225; superintendent's house, $3,500. This is of brick walls and pucca roof. Itinerating outfit, $336; Bungalow rented to bank, $1,750; Orphans' graveyard, worth $38, with cheap inclosure, and wanting a bridge from the street, as the land is subject to inundation. It has eight little graves without. monuments.

The chapel requisites are $180; school requisites, $41; itinerating requisites, $280; miscellaneous, $14. Connected with this mission is a printing establishment on a plot of ground containing five acres, worth $1,500. The house, used as an endowment of the press, is set down at $1,750. The printing-office is a koti sixty feet by forty-eight, value, $1,750. Press and stock, value, $3,250. Dwelling-house for the manager, a thatched bungalow, worth $2,000. There are

outhouses reckoned in, which are occupied by native Christians and servants. Sixteen hands, of whom six are Christians, are employed in printing; half the time, however, in job work. The matter is in Hindee, or Urdu, or English. The Urdu is sometimes set in Roman, Arabic, and Persian characters. Among the books published are our hymn-book, catechism, and tracts, and the Psalms of David. Before I left Mrs. Thomas presented me with a beautiful Cashmere gown, the gift of the girls of the Orphanage-a memorial on which I place great value. The Orphanage is doing well in all its departments. I was deeply moved to see one little child in the matron's arms which had been literally dug out of the grave, where it had been placed by its unnatural parents.

We left Bareilly by carriage for Budaon; one of our horses was borrowed from a Mohammedan judge of the latter city. The distance is thirty miles; the road is tolerable to the Ramgunga, intolerable over the deep sands in the vicinity of that stream, and excellent beyond, where it is a broad metaled highway, made by the British before the mutiny. Along the road many of the fields are well cultivated, but there is a great deal of waste land adorned by peacocks, and infested by jackals and wolves. Mr.

Scott tells me that three old persons and two children were carried off lately from Budaon by wolves. The natives are not allowed to bear arms without a license, and as this can not be obtained without some reputation, or retained without tax, the chief weapons of defense are clubs.

The deeds of our property at Budaon are satisfactory. The mission premises are well situated, half a mile from the city, on three acres of ground. The dwelling-house contains eight rooms, and is worth $1,600. The church is sixty feet by thirty, worth $565; both have pucca roofs. Native helper's house worth $75; Zyat, $69; Chapel requisites, $30; school requisites, $63; itinerating requisites, $110; miscellaneous property, $5. The ground is subject to an annual rent of $20.

Every Sabbath there is preaching in the native language, a Sabbath-school, and a Bible class for females. On Tuesday, English service, classmeeting, Bible class. Every week a prayermeeting is held. Bazaar preaching is according to circumstances, generally every third day. During my stay we had an extra meeting, at which I addressed the people and administered the Lord's-Supper, and Mr. Scott preached in the native tongue. We have here two native

preachers, three school-teachers, forty native hearers at Sabbath service, twenty Sabbathschool scholars, twelve Church members, three probationers, ninety-two pupils, of whom eighty are boys and twelve girls. The members, with a single exception, are independent of the mission, and all suffer social disability and other inconveniences for their faith. The schools were carefully inspected. There is one in the church, with an average attendance of thirty pupils, having two teachers, a Hindoo and a Mohammedan; another in the bazaar, average attendance twenty, one teacher, a Hindoo and an inquirer. While I was at the mission a Mohammedan called on the missionary, and expressed deep concern for his soul.

On our return journey to Bareilly we broke down on the sands near the Ramgunga, walked a mile or two, got on a bullock hackery, and thus rode until we came to our last station. We arrived at Bareilly in the evening; next day drove out to cantonments, where brethren are putting up a chapel, to cost $150, and to be used both for church and school. Returning, we passed the spot where, in the mutiny, the British officers were shot down in endeavoring to escape. Prudently, before this event, Dr. Butler's family had started for the hills. The

cantonments, officers' and Government quarters, are all admirable. There is good English society here. The city has the best bazaar and serai I have seen in India; the former is three miles long, substantial and ornamented. There are here Government hospitals, a lunatic asylum, and a prison, with two thousand prisoners.

Sabbath, we had Hindoostani preaching by a native-Joel—and the sacrament of the Lord'sSupper. When Dr. Butler first came here he borrowed Joel from the Presbyterian Mission at Allahabad, but he has never returned him,‍ and as Joel is a thorough Methodist, the lenders probably do not want him. He is well informed, and speaks with dignity, fluency, and force, and, the missionaries add, with unction. He has a young wife and four children, and lives in a mud cottage, with a kitchen at one end, a study at the other, and a dining-room between. Behind his house is an inclosure, walled and protected by tiles, where the family sit and sleep. There is another native preacher here-William-who lives within the Orphanage inclosure, in a similar habitation to Joel's. Each has a small library. Joel has Benson's Commentary, William has Clarke's. It is interesting to see the children at meals. They sit in rows upon the ground, each having a metallic plate, but neither
