Sandusky Mission.— We learn from one of the managers of the Sandusky Mission, who has just returned from a visit to Sandusky, that the superintendant of the establishment, and his family, enjoy good health and spirits. They have had many difficulties to encounter, under which they have been divinely supported. They have already made considerable progress in erecting the necessary buildings, notwithstanding the season was far advanced when the establishment was commenced. A school house, 38 by 48 feet is commenced, and upwards of 50 acres of land will be cleared in the course of two months. The cabin in which the school is at present kept is small, and very few children have, as yet, been received into it. These have made pleasing and satisfactory progress. The Indians are delighted at the efforts making to have their children instructed, and about 40 or 50 of them will be added to the school as soon as they can be provided for. The establishment, it seems, is much in want of farming utensils. It is hoped the friends of missions will render it every necessary assistance. No one of the kind, at present, we believe, stands more in need of their charity.—Ohio Watch.
