have been rather more encouragement. "Our Indians," Mr. Wheeler says, "have never been more friendly; and they have never shown more confidence in us." The number of hearers of the Word appears to be increasing; and the number of pupils in the school has been quite respectable. DAKOTAS.-The mission among the Dakotas has been thrown into some perplexity by the action of the United States Senate on the treaties recently concluded with a part of this tribe. While some forty millions of acres of land were ceded to our government, a narrow strip on the upper waters of the Minnesota was reserved for the future occupancy of the Indians; and there several of our brethren were expecting to locate themselves, when they should leave their present stations. But the Senate refused to allow the reservation to stand in the treaties; though they have consented to an Indian occupancy during the pleasure of the President. Should the Dakotas agree to the modification, as is confidently expected at Washington, they will be mere tenants at will on the reserved territory; and the prospect of benefitting them by missionary efforts will be less encouraging. Home Proceedings. EMBARKATION OF MISSIONARIES. ON the 31st of July, Rev. Frederick H. Brewster, of Wright, Michigan, and Mrs. Mary G. Brewster, of Windham, Connecticut, sailed for Canton in the ship Siam, Captain Ring, in the expectation of joining the Canton mission: Mr. Brewster is a graduate of Hamilton College; and he pursued his theological studies at Andover and East Windsor. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BOARD. As it appears to the Prudential Committee to be inexpedient that the next meeting of the Board should be held in Cincinnati, and as the Laws and Regulations of the Board authorize the selection of some other place in such an event, the Committee have designated Troy, New York, as the place for the forty-third annual meeting of the Board, which is to be held on the 7th of September, 1852, at four o'clock in the afternoon; the friends of the Board in that city having expressed their cordial assent to this arrangement. Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D. is expected to preach the annual sermon. The meeting will probably adjourn on Friday. CHEROKEES.-A church has been organized at Lee's Creek, the station of Mr. Ranney, which has eight members. The reported additions to all the churches by profession amount to fifteen; and the whole number of members is supposed to be 231. The school at Lee's Creek had forty-S. K. Stow, Esq., and Gurdon Grant, Esq. seven pupils last term; the average, however, was hardly twenty, owing in part to high water. At Dwight there are about thirty-five scholars, six of whom are boarded on the mission premises. It is not known that any material change has occurred in the school at Fairfield. The report from Park Hill says that there are thirty-four in the school at that station, fourteen of whom "are boarded away from home at the expense of their parents." The two national institutions are prosperous, each of them having fifty pupils at the present time. In the female seminary there has been a very interesting revival. Nine have already made a public profession of their love to the Savior; and six others are expecting to do so. The Cherokees continue to make gratifying advances in civilization; but there is great danger that they will not move forward with equal pace in piety. Indeed, it is painfully evident that there is not an adequate missionary force in the nation at the present time; and the Prudential Committee are grieved by their want of success in supplying this deficiency. CHOCTAWS.-Reports have been received from nearly all the stations; and though the additions to the churches do not equal those of some previous years, the general aspect of the field is highly animating. The next number of the Herald will contain a fuller notice of this mission. The Committee of Arrangements at Troy conField, A. Robbins, M. D., T. W. Blatchford, M.D. sists of Rev. N. S. S. Beman, D.
