He says:— Soon after the operation (alluding to the amputation of the engineer's leg) the engineer asked what caused the accident, and was told that the axle of the locomotive had broke. He replied, «“I thought so,” and almost in- tly expired. Whether he was aware of n delect in that part of the machinery cannot now be ascertained but the remark which he made would lead to the infor: ence that an accident of that nature was not unexpested to him, although he could not h anticipated sv rible results. It is clear that the accident can be trace! to gross neglect of somebody, for an examination of the axle shows that a flaw of a serious nature existed wher it was attached to the truck, I was on the train spoken of, and went imme liately ( the engiacer, and remained with him until he expired Theard every word he said, and suw ail that took J while he breathed.

A conference with the brethren of this mission, and letters: received from#hém, resulted in an almost manimous sen- iiment that they disapproved’oi tite legislation of the Choctaw nation, and considered it inpossible to conduct these schools under it, yet they did not consider it expe- dient for the Board to say so at this time, ‘Two questions arose in these conferences between the deputation and the missionaries. Can these schools be conducted under the provisions of this new law’ If so, is it expedient so to contugt them? Upon the first of thee, the missionaries seem to be unanimous in considering the law a dead Jetter—that the schools will not be inter- fered with, ax conducted upon their present plin, which ix a mere continuance of the former. The second question was more perplexing. There is great difficulty attending it. Some think the schools are uttended with too great labor, compared with their ad- vantages, while others regard them as important auxil- iaries to the missionary werk. recretary Woeps, at the request of the Board, read the report of the General ‘Asrembly of 1818, on the wubjent ot slavery, which presented, as was contended, the sume great principles. dhe report entered fully into the relations of slavery to the church at large, and expecially to this mission. ‘the report closed with the following resolution, moved and adopted by the missionaries to the Choctaws Resolved, That the cordial thanks of this mission be presented to the Rev.
