The Fort Wayne Journal of November 22, spoke about some difficulties discovered among the Amish people about Berne. The correspondent seems to know a great deal about these people, though more than he can justly give proof. Most of the things stated are greatly overdrawn, and others exist only in the mind of the writer. The writer of this is well acquainted with the habits of these people and although they are different from ours, yet they are honest, hard working, peaceable and in the main law abiding people. The Journal correspondent is either ignorant of their manners and beliefs, or he is not capable of judging. *#*
