Sabbath School in the upper portion of the County, I am not yet informed of the full particulars of her work; but doubtless her example will be followed by others desirous of doing good. Another school in the lower end of the County is conducted by a col'd woman. She has, I believe, some twenty five Scholars. More complete details of these and other Schools which may exist in the County, and of which opportunity has not been had to obtain full information, will be given in a subsequent report. The Colored people are, upon the whole, working well. Many are displaying a most commendable energy. I have no complaint with reference to labor, either upon the part of white or colored. With reference to the Destitutes, attention is invited to my report of the 21st inst, in which I endeavored fully to explain their conditions and wants.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
