  On Sunday evening arrived at brother David Boseley’s, near Ball Town, Braztion county, on the Little Kanawha River.  Had eleven meetings at that place.  The Brethren had preached but once at this place before. One brother baptized six last August, and during our meetings there were four more added to the church by baptism, and there were four more applicants.  We organized the ten members into a congregation by the election of brother David Boseley speaker, and brother George Moss deacon.  It being a new place for the Brethren, there appears to be no opposition as yet at that place.  Our meetings were well attended and a great interest manifested by the people, and I believe that there is a prospect of much good being done.

Bulltown.— Our quarterly council passed off pleasantly. We have three outlying appointments, Copen's Run, Fall Run and Long Run, with a small number of members at each place, isolated from the main body, fourteen, eight and six miles, respectively. Though in an unorganized state and with very little preaching, they remain strong in the faith. Copen's Run made application over four years ago, to be organized into a separate congregation. The church last spring granted their request, and May 14 brethren D. Bosely, W, R. Murphy and the writer went to Copen's and organized them. Bro. Geo. Jamison was elected deacon. The other two outposts also have requested to be organized but, so far, this has not been done. We realize the need of another active minister, as we only have one who can give the ministry the attention that it demands. Any ministering brother who will come to our aid will meet with a hearty reception. We have an interesting Brethren's Sunday school, which will aid in the upbuilding of the cause—E.
