EDITORIAL NOTES. The clerks of our District meetings will much oblige us by sending us a copy of their Minutes. Bro. Eshelman and his family have moved from Mt. Morris to Cherry Grove, four miles north of Lanark. Brother Stephen Studebaker, of Lawrence, Kansas, had $50 in gold stolen from him while at church a few Sundays ago. Bro. Jesse Heckler, of Kansas is now on a visit to Eastern Pa. We will be pleased to have a call from brother Heckler at Huntingdon. Matters in our tewn are moving nicely-many new houses are being built, and the spirit of improvement seems to be noticeable everywhere. Instead of four meeting houses in the Middle Creek church, Pa , as we had it last week, there are seven. A mistake of the compositor. The subject of feetwashing has been agitated in Lanark this winter. The Disciple and Advent ministers preached sermons on it and finally brother Evans tried to show them the way of the Lord more perfectly. This morning the sun shines clear and warm, the birds are here with their songs, and the maples are in bloom indicating that spring is upon us again. As we feel the genial rays of the sun, and hear the glad notes of the birds, in some way we are inspired to greater praise and thankfulness to the creator of all existence. Don't worry about the date of our paper. The contents are just as fresh as if we were ahead of time, and we are sending it out regularly each week. Sickness is a common lot to us all and we are doing the best we can under existing circumstances. We hope that the sickness in our foreman's family will soon change for the better, when we will soon be on time again. As the time is here that Sunday-schools will open, we wish to inform our brethren that we have made arrangements to supply schools with everything that will be needed to carry them on successfully. The Young Disciple is especially adapted for Sunday school purposes and add greatly to the interest of schools. We will be pleased to receive orders or send samples. Brother Archy Van Dyke has been quite ill for some time but is now better again. In a recent letter to us he says they are having a dust storm which seems to be somewhat oppressive. Their house although weather-boarded and plastored inside is not sufficient to protect them from the dust during one of these storms. Their son brother John Van Dyke was married on the 16th inst. to sister Ida Dell, daughter of brother Isaac Dell, a minister of the South Beatrice church. Correspondence. >From Newton Church, Ohio. Dear Primitive: Our quarterly council was held March 16th. Elder Samuel Mohler (our elder) and Elder Samuel Coppock present. Meeting generally pleasant and trust acceptable with the great I Am. But sorry to say that one young brother walked so unworthily that it was the church's painful duty to disfellowship him. But while our hearts were made to bleed for him another worthy young man came forward, desired to be buried in Christ to rise in newness of life which caused truly a contrast in the hearts of God's people. No queries sent to District. >From Pine Creek Church, Ind. Dear Primitive: Brother Jacob Snell commenced a series of meetings at the West meeting house, on the 18th ult., continuing them over a week. His labors were earnest and much appreciated. One received by baptism. From here he went to the Center meeting house and held several meetings. After Bro. Snell left Bro. Thurston Miller came and preached a few sermons. Two more were received by baptism. The church met in regular council March 18th. All passed off in a pleasant manner. One fallen member reclaimed. March 22rd. David Clem. >From South English, Iowa. Dear Primitive: Our series of meetings closed the 12th inst. Bro. John Flory from Virginia, was with us several weeks and labored faithfully. Had a very interesting meeting and good order, our greatest difficulty being rain and muddy roads. Our brethren and sisters were much encouraged in the cause of our Master. Ten were added to the fold by baptism, mostly young persons, whom we hope will realize the enjoyment of early piety. Yours in the hope of eternal life, March 20th. Lizzie M. Brower. >From Perry County, Ohio. Dear Primitive: The members of the Jonathan Creek church met in council on March 4th and decided to request a minister to come and locate in their church. Any one desiring to do so will please address the undersigned at Glenford, Perry co., Ohio. March 23rd. Samuel Deffenbaugh. (G. P. and B A. W please copy.) The High Water. Better news comes from the flooded regions of the Mississippi. While the destruction of property is immense and the loss of cattle, fences, buildings, etc., very extensive, the reports have been somewhat exaggerated. The waters are now slowly subsiding, relief is afforded by the Government agents and by private charity, and in a short time it is hoped the people will be able to resume their occupations and provide for themselves. A report from New Orleans of last Saturday that some of the smaller streams in Arkansas are still rising. The loss of stock along the black and Tensas river, where the overflow extends for thirty-five miles, is now estimated at $50,000 and of fences, $100,000. In Tensas parish the overflow extends from the Tensas river and Bayou Macon to the Mississippi river, a distance of thirty miles, in Franklin parish from Tensas went to the Ouachita river, a distance of ten miles; in Madison parish from from Bayou Macon to the Mississippi river a distance of thirty-five miles. >From the Monticello Church, Indiana Dear Primitive: Brother Samuel Ulery of the Fairview came to us on the 7th, and remained until the 18th, preaching at the Shafer school-house Our brother labored faithfully and preached the Gospel in its original purity.-One precious soul was made willing to come out on the Lord's side. Others, we think, were almost persuaded. Oh, may they become fully persuaded and accept the offered terms of mercy offered them before it is too late. We had a church meeting last Saturday, and two brethren were chosen to the ministry, viz., J. A. Weaver and Franklin Fisher. Traveling ministers will please remember us for we would be glad to have any one to come to us at any time, for the "harvest is great but the laborers few." Your unworthy sister in Christ. Amanda Dilling. March 18. Information Wanted. Christian Moyer (or Myers) and brother Stern moved from Lancaster Co., Pa , to Morrison's Cove, about sixty years ago, and about thirty-five years ago he moved to a place in Ohio called Owl Creek. The last we heard of him he was blind and lived with a son. If living, he is nearly one hundred years old. Among the papers of one of his brothers a letter was found, addressed to him, written by Christian Myers, headed Finlay, Ohio, Oct. 24, 1859, in which the writer says, "My father is well, he is now at Henry Fellers. My sister," showing that at that time the old man was yet living. If he or his descendants can prove their identity they will learn something to their interest. As the said Christian Myers Sr., is said to have been a member of our church, and the father of a numerous family, and some in straitened circumstances, and likely some members of the church, a notice in our periodicals may be the means of learning where they are, as all private efforts thus far have failed. Will all our periodicals please give this notice one insertion, and assist that the rightful owners of several legacies may get them. Any person wishing to communicate information will please address the undersigned at Mastersonville, Lancaster Co., Pa. S. R. Zug. NOTICES. DISTRICT MEETINGS.
