LETTER FROM MT. BLANCHARD.

Correspondence JefferSonian.
MEssRs. EDs.:-The usual quiet and
dull routine Of our little village was
very happily broken during last week
by the meeting of the Ohio Annual
Conference of the Methodist Church,
which convened in this place on Tues
day, September 2lst. An hour of
PRAYER introduced the exercises of this
very interesting occasion. At l04
O'Clock, Rev. j. j. White, President
of the Conference, delivered the open
ing discourse, upon the subject OF
ssChurch Extension" from the words,
siHe hath not dealt 80 with any ma
ton. Psalm cxlvii: 90. The SER
mon was able and eloquent, present
ing a clear and comprehensive view OF
the home work of the Church in our
own country: and throughout, was
an inspiring appeal to Christians and
the Church to do the duty of the
hour, and was listened to by a deeply
interested audience, on whom 1t made
a lasting impression.
Rev. W. R. Parsons was elected
President of the Conference for the
ensuing year, and required TO travel
the district.
The sessions of the Conference
were very harmonious. Scarcely q
discordant sound was heard from 1T
commencement to its close. The
spirit of love seemed to possess and
pervade all hearts, and the services II
the Chapel at night were attended
with a religious fervor and splrltua
power which was truly refreshing.
From the reports of the severa
committees, we should think the worl
of the Conference was in a health!
and prosperous condition. Quite
number Of new churches have heel
, organized during the year, and man.
new chapels are being erected L
I; every part OF the district.
: This church is comparatively young

An Interesting Occasion.

ON 1uGC1 CotluS OOCookOus
The Social, at Wheeler's Hall, last
Monday evening, given by the mem.
bers of the Presbyterian Church, for
the purpose of taking formal leave
of their pastor, Rev. j. NJ. Cross,
was an interesting and pleasant oc.
casion-only saddened by the refec-
ton that a beloved and respected
pastor was about to sever the ties
that four years. faithful service had
united. The attendance was as large
as could have been expected, taking
into consideration the inclemency of
the evening. About 81 o'clock cir
Gle was formed, and Mrs. E. p.
Jones, holding in her hand an ele-
CANT gold watch, chain and key.
made the following neat and graceful
little presentation speech:
Mr.. Cross On this occasion it is
both pleasant and sad to meet you.
Pleasant, because it is always de-
lightful to mingle with those whom we
have reason to think appreciate and
esteem us; and sad, to know that we
will not soon, perhaps, meet you
again.
1t is needless to say that we regret
your leaving US; for your duties to
this church have always been per
formed in the most kindly, Christian
like manner. You have truly been
a pastor whom we have learned to
love and respect. There are many
among us who can attribute their
change Of heart to your constant
and earnest pleadings in their behalf
before the throne of God and 9th
ers who have grown gray in Gods
service have, during their dark
hours, been cheered by your advice
to
"Trust in the Lord and He will sustain thee"
In behalf OF the First Presbyterian
Church, and your numerous friends,
we present you with this slight token
of our regard.
May your life and influence be as
pure and enduring as the material Of
whic b this token is composed.
To which the reverend gentleman
responded. as follows:
My DEAR MADAM:-In accepting
this token of friendship from be-
loved people, have no fitting words
to express my feelings; and if l had
the words, my heart, already oppress-
ed with breaking ties, would fail me.
1 trust it will be enough to say that
1 most deeply appreciate che kindness
that has thus found an expression,
and that next to the love of this dear
people, shall prize this munifcent
gift. With assurances Of the high
est esteem and regard, allow me to
thank you personally for the kind and
fitting words with which you have
presented this gift, and with you, to
thank all this people for this last ex-
preston of good will to their retiring
pastor.
May the richest blessings of kind
Father rest on you and them.

scription:

DRIVING A YOUNG HORsE.-In teach
ing young horse to drive well, do not
hurry to see how fast he can trot. Keep
each pace clear and distinct from the 9TH
err; that Is, in walking make him walk
and do not allow him to trot. While trott-
ing, be equally careful that he keeps
steady at his pace. and do not allow him
to slack into walk. The rcins, while
driving. should be kept snug; and when
pushed to the top of his speed, keep
