A CARD FROM REV. NOFTZGER. “To the Editor of The National Banner: = Suffer a word, if you please, touch(ing the communication from Wawaka, which appeared in last week's "BANNER. Your correspondent says respecting Mrs. Molloy’s lggture: “If I am not dréeaming, she told more truths in regard to intemperance ‘vthan all the Methodist clergy in North‘ern Indiana dare to tell, although their -discipline compels :them to preach a temperance sermon every year.” Most of your readers will doubtless fail ‘to see what connection' thére could possibly be between Mrs. Molloy’s lecture and the Methodist clergy. This forced connection is explicable only upon this hypothesis—an overweaning desire, born out of conceit, to makea thrust at the Methodist ‘ministry,' and that, too, simply be‘cause your present correspondent declined to introduce, the lecture with religious services. For reasons suf‘ficient and satisfactory to myself I ‘had stated privately to those in charge, that I should not conduct the religious services; and it was nat. ‘véry courteous in the managers to require mie publicly .to decline to do so. This I think is the real cause for this impertinent fling at the. ministry asa body. Pl h e

I have nothing to say in disparagement of the lecture — most of it i ‘could endorse—but 1 ‘will assume this: There is not a more faithful, tireless and efficient band of temper:(:c&gyorker_s in this rephblfc"than the ministry, and we as Methodist preachers are not afraifl of comparison in this respect with the ministry of other churches. T Know of no Methodist- preacher in Northern. Indiana who has failed to do his duty on this point, and they have spokexi as bravely as.any others. o ~ Personally, I have been :n. Wawaka one year, and during that time think I have sp;)lie'n'publicly ‘not less than half a score of times upon the temperance question, and the longest sermon I ever preached here was upon that subject. S If you please, sir, I have been misrepresented heretofore by the same pen, but so long as it was myself alone, 1 ‘cared not to resent, but wheh others are:included, I feel disposed to make this defense. e e ACHUNORTZOER,: " Pastor of the M.

FINE STOCK ON THE HAWPATCH.

* There are but few events in a rural distries like thisthatiare worthy of record; but now and then some energetic farpg®r steps from the ranks of the masses, and sets his stake “alone” upon the hill above the level. These are the stakes of advancement—the landmarks of progress,and he who has moral courage enough to step to the front, and by his example encourage, others to take a step forward, all tending toward, and contributing to, the improvement of the country, deserves our united encouragement and the Heralding of his ventare. A late and prominent example is that of John S. Ramsby, an old and honored citizen of Lhe‘}lawpatéh. Eoa A few years ago he generously took ‘upon himself the impr@vement of the cattle of the neighborhood, and commenced by the purchase in 1874 of a short-horn calf, eleven months old, at $5OO. He has grown to be a large and beautiful roan animal, and is named “Baron Hawpatch,” and is now at the ‘head of the herd. Only a few weeks ago,/at the sale of Messrs. Campbell, | Stra’Wn & Co., he purchased apd now has upon. the farm, three beautiful short-horn heifers, all red, and aged respectively one, two and three years. ; af a cost of over $630. .These, wi‘{l_t;h; two thoroughbred cows, and their products that were on the farm,in all four males and five females, gives Mr. | Ramsby a small herd of which h.el may well féel proud, as all are strictly first-class, and placing him in the po: sition (he has the will) to become: apublic benefactor, and the lapse of a few more years will demonstrate the fact that he has not lived and labored among us in vain. It may not prove ‘remune¢rative to him, but the improvement in the stock cattle of the Hiwpateh will be estimated by thousands through his enterprise. - This herd is being gathered together with great care with a generous use of money, and | au ; honest desire to introduce good, useful animals. Itis a pleasure to look at them in the green fields of the beautiful farm’ -and comfortable home of jhe proprietor, where upon many a cald morning the blast of the “horn” has called us together to enjoy the “chase” and follow the {rail with his splendid “pack” of fox hounds, all fat and sleek, with the speed, endurance, courage and'beauty of a race horse. . ; R

Speaking of horses, please correct the statement made in THE BANNER relative to the price paid for the im: purted horse . “Scotsman.” He cost two thousand dollars—not three thousand, ag stated: A thousand dollars makes: quite a difference in the price of a horse.

e D& B— S g | HAW-PATCH. b {(Correspondence of the Lagrange Standard.) ; HawpATen, April 29, 1876.

~We are a very quiet people hereabouts and hardly furnish material enough of general irgenest for a correspondent. Jacob .€risdn’s store; at “Whittle-busy,” or. “Slabtown,” as it is usually ealled, burned,together with almost the entire stock, on Thursday morning at 4 o’clock. Cruson was awakened by the smoke, and only just in time for the family to estape with ‘their lives. They did not even save any clothes worth speaking of, Mrs. ‘Cruson and their baby reached the ground by getting out of the window onto a shed. I neglected to say that the family occupied rooms .above the store. Cruson succéeded in getting the postoffice, together ~with his ledger and a-chest of tea, and all the powder in the store, out safe, but-did not get a coat for himself or boy.” I believe the’store and contents were insured in the Underwriters, for $2,200.. Patrick Cass’ house, north of .the store. burned at -the same itime. By the way, Pat. is very unlucky for a money maker, and good eitizen. as this is the second house burned for him within a year. * It is supposed that the fire originated frém the.spic boxes in the store, which were of wood, filled with sawdust, and were always the repository for all the cigar ends. =As there ‘were more than the usual number smoking late in the evening before the fire, it is likely the correct theory. John Ramsby attended!"the late cattle sales of Illinois, and brought three head, one, two and threée years old heifers, all red, and of the purest blooded short horn Durhams. - The three cost him over six hundred dollars.” He has now the best herd in this part of the State. The fact is, we are proud of them, and glad to have a neighbor of such enterprise. We wish there were more of them. Ramsby says he is determined to have as good catile as Latta Brothers have horses, and of course they think that hard to do with a son and daughter of the celebrated horse of Ameriea, old *“Rysdyke’s Hambletonian”(now dead), to head the list. :

By the way, you know:Latta Brothers named their Hambletonian hotse “Hawpateh,” and now Unecle Jack Ramsby . has named the head of his herd, “Baron Hawpatch.” | Well, they could not ‘possibly have ha;ned animals after a more lovely place than that same Hawpatch. e Wheat is looking -unusuﬂl&y well.
