LETTER FROM E.EErGwS.
Jan. Ilth, 1875.

tanned an article from Rev. Danicl
Wolf, of Fairplay, Washington county.
Md, in which he takes exception To
my notice Of his preaching at Lcetown
recently. The Reverend gentleman sets
out to give al explanation, but he must
have forgotten his object, at least he
didn't carry out any such purpose, and
we will willingly listen to him ifhe
] comes TO Leetown to preach, hut we
would rather he would come in pleasant
weather. Judging by Mr.. VS. letter.
the good people of Leetown' have not
been blessed with much evangelical,
preaching Tor years, rs he did not sue
coed in one hours time in clearing
away the rubbish" from the subjcct of
; Christianity. The Methodist and Bap.
tist Ministers who preach in this vicin-
ity, make the Plan OF Salvation so clear
in all their sermons, that 'wavtaring
man, though fool, need not err" about
the way 10 get TO Heaven, and they ap-
pear TO be very well comprehended by
/ their hearers. .,f-
However. if Mr.. Wolf comes again,
I will 20 to hear him if possibly can,
and not for the purpose of maintaining
controversy, bat for my own benefit.
Leetown Grange, No. >, has chosen
its officers for 1875, but as they have
not furnished mc the names of their
officials | could not give them in the
lists of officers ofsocicties, last week.
/ have not heard any thing definite
concerning the projected College in
this vicinity, but trust that Woodbury.
may soon be the seat of n College. |
believe that Mr. Grove will sell his
mansion and ample grounds for College
purposes, for reasonable price, for he
is quite interested in the proposed insti-
tuition.
The late "cold snap" has caused most
of us to stand "upon slippery places,
more or less, during the week. In a
good many instances the standing was
a failure, but the falling down was a
success We fell but once, and then
we couldn't help it.
Gathering isc is the general farm
business with those who are provided
with icehouscs. Ice Of very fine
quality is obtained from Mr.. Bakers
Mill Pond. Quite number of teams
'stuck," hauling ice from there last
Saturday.
Mr. Baker has got IIomminy Mill
attached to his establishment, aud |
learn that it does very fair work. 1--WE
uns" can get "hog and honiny' now
if we can 'rase the wind.
"Hog killing is about over; Mr..
Charles 0. Payne, living jnst over the
line in Berkeley, killed hogs which
weighed 1885 pounds: the heaviest
drawing 3ll
Mr.. J. Walper Snyder reports that
his corn crop OF 80 acres averaged 55
bushels per acre. Mr. Jacob V. Evans
raised 40 bushels of corn on acres.
A lot of IA acres gave lS9 IA bush
els, an average of fraction over SO
! bushels per. acre.
The Public Schools resumed opera
tions last Monday, and are well attend
ed, believe. ] notice that the boys
at the "GIidiron Academy" are learning
to play base ball, but | don't know
whether they have any match game
designs against the Rustic Club Of your
town, or are altogether pacific.
Another firm has been recently cs,ab-
lished here, TO run for three months.
1t is STYLED; "IIogue and Whttington,
Clover IIullers and Wood Choppers.
Success TO them.
