2. It is intended to lay out a town at once, in which each participant receives a lot of the size of half an acre at the purchase price.

3. It is intended to buy somewhat more land in common for town lots, which shall afterward be sold by the whole colony.

4. The whole society determines how much land is to be bought for church and school.

5. Blockhouses are first to be built on the town lots, and land and lots to be drawn by lot, and everyone must put up with whatever lot falls to him.

6. Blockhouses are to be built at common expense, and on each eighty-acre tract four acres cleared, which one can either do himself, or he provides for it an able-bodied man, or he pays for his share.

7. Sawmill, flour mill and other necessary establishments are to be built in common. Yet this shall not take from the individual the liberty of setting up the like also for himself.

8. For the first time provisions are to be bought in common, and are to be let to each again at the purchase price.

9. Every member must help to bear the costs which may arise from the searching out of suitable land.

10. All roads in the colony are to be made and kept up in common.

11. Whoever wishes to sell any of his property may sell only to brethren in the faith.

12. No one can become a member of our colony who is not a member of our Synod or does not wish to become one.

13. All brethren are requested, who know of good, cheap land lying in a healthful region, where the acre costs 50 to 75 cents, to inform us of it at once.

14. All brethren also are requested who can send in some money for common purposes in the colony, to let us know at once.

15. Every member of the colony who buys land now must move there himself at the latest in the spring of 1857.

16. The colony is to be laid out north of the 42nd degree of latitude.

We beg all brethren who have a mind to take part in this to inform us of it by the first of September. Also the brethren who can communicate to us better proposals and principles about these matters are requested to do so very soon.

The Cantica Sacra.

After a long and very unpleasant delay in the printing of the chorale book under the above title, I have now the pleasure to announce to those concerned that it will leave the press in a short time, and that the printers promise to have it ready for shipment surely by the month of next September. The numerous orders will be filled with the utmost promptness as soon as the book leaves the hands of the bookbinder. Those who have subscribed and have since changed their place of residence or their address are requested to notify me by letter of their present address. Whoever wishes to obtain a copy and sends me in a letter 75 cents in postage stamps, together with his address, to him I will send one postage free by mail.
