The Will should be attested by three witnesses.

      THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

      American Missionary Association.

      The next Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will be held in Chicago, Ill., at the New England Church, commencing at three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, October 29th. Rev. R.R. Meredith, D.D., of Brooklyn, N.Y., will preach the sermon. Details regarding the reception of delegates and their entertainment, together with rates at hotels, and railroad and steamboat reductions, will appear later in the religious press and in the next number of the MISSIONARY.

      THE FIGURES STILL IMPROVING.

      Our receipts for nine months to June 30th are: From donations, $147,213.31; from estates, $50,121.54; from income, $8,117.96; from tuition, $30,239.62; from United States Government for Indians, $15,219.37; total, $250,911.80. Our expenditures for nine months to June 30th are, $265,526.59. Debtor balance, $14,614.76.

      The improvement is seen in the following figures: Debtor balance at the close of April, $28,318.14; at the close of May, $25,795.07; June, as above, $14,614.76. This improvement is due, in large part to legacies, and yet there has been marked improvement in the donations as compared with last year. We trust our friends will be encouraged to still further increase their contributions, and enable us to rejoice in a triumphant balance sheet.
