Elder Geo. W. Harris, who accompanied him to the east, is expected home in a short time.
We beg leave to call the attention of our subscribers and agents to inform them that we have now entered upon another six months labor, and that the period for which many have paid for their papers has elapsed. As many as desire to subscribe for the next six months, are respectfully invited to do so soon, by remitting the money to D. C. Smith, the publisher, or handing it to any of onr [our] authorized agents. We would likewise urge upon our agents abroad to use their endeavors to obtain subscribers. We think that with a very little exertion, our subscription list could be doubled, and we assure them that there shall be a corresponding exertion on our part, to make the Times and Seasons as interresting [interesting] and valuable a periodical as possible.
It is probably unnecessary for us to urge the utility of our paper, in removing prejudice, and in giving correct information respecting the movements of the church, which has now become very extensive, and from the vast accession of members who are daily flocking to the standard of truth, will undoubtedly soon assume an important standing.
To those who prefer the prosperity of Zion to their chief joy, and who feel desirous to assist in the great work, let them second our efforts, by all the means in their power; by doing so they will facilitate the great and good work in which we are unitedly engaged.
All the elders in good standing who are engaged in the ministry, are respectfully requested to act as agents for the Times and Seasons, and as soon as their names are known, they shall appear on the list of agents. Bretheren [Brethren], help.
Important
Dr. Bennett is of the opinion that most of the bilious affections to which our citizens are subjected during the hot season, can be prevented by the free use of the Tomato-we are of the same opinion, and as health is essential to our happiness and prosperity as a people, we would earnestly recommend its culture to our fellow-citizens, and its general use for culinary purposes. Do not neglect it.
Erratum
Being in ill health when our last was published, a typographical error, on page 387, first column, 3 paragraph, escaped notice. It read thus; Resolved, that this session of congress &c. it should read conference.
+ In consequence of the sickness of Pres. Rigdon, the article on false prophets, &c. promised in our last, could not be got ready for the present number, but as soon as his health will admit, we shall take pleasure in giving it publicity.

To the Editor of the Times and Seasons:
It is with pleasure we occupy some few moments this morning in presenting you information in relation to the progress which the everlasting Gospel is making in this great Metroplis. We more cheerfully do this, as we suppose that information of this kind will be looked for, and when received we hope it will prove satisfactory.
Though we have experienced much tribulation, and had many difficulties to oppose in establishing, in this city, a branch of Zion's kingdom, but through the power and assistance of the Most High, at length we have succeeded; the stone is permanently [permanently] laid, and bids fair to become a great mountain, and fill a large portion of this vast city.
Several persons of acknowledged intelligence, influence, and respectability in this city, have submitted to the laws of the celestial kingdom; among whom are Dr. W. Copeland, and J. Albon, minister of the Presbyterian denomination.
For your more particular information we have thought to present you entire the minutes of the first conference of Latter Day Saints held in this great city, which is no doubt properly esteemed the mistress of the world.
