—The American Board has published a new map of Japan about 2½ by 4½ feet in size, which will be found a valuable aid in missionary concerts. The price of the map on fine paper is 40 cents, and on cloth 70 cents.
—It is reported that the high Chinese authorities are in favor of an International Exhibition at Shanghai in 1882. Twenty-two thousand applications for space have been received from American and European manufacturers, and if the Exhibition is determined upon, there is little doubt of its success, both in a political and an industrial point of view.

SUMMER REVIVALS.
McLEANSVILLE, N.C.
The first Sabbath of September we began a series of meetings, assisted by Rev. Geo. S. Smith and Rev. Mr. Turner, of Raleigh. On the Sabbath the house would not hold the congregation. Quite a number came from ten to twelve miles, a few from twenty to twenty-five miles.
