Mission Work.

The thirty-second convention of the American Missionary Association has just been held at Taunton, Mass. The annual report showed receipts for the year, $195,601; expenses, $188,079; balance, $7,522. The current receipts were not equal by $13,603 to the preceding year. The falling off is mainly in legacies. The debt, which two years ago was $93,000, has been reduced by gifts and pledges to $26,298. Work among the Chinese and freedmen has been productive of much good.
