Messrs. Editors We are having delightful winter weather in the Bnckoye State and some snow, hut at preseijji writing, not •enough for good sleighing. Jam told that in this region, crops were not seriously iitjuveft-Jiy the later drouth but crops were goo.i. and by the ai l of .numerous to -a 1:..a farmers are able to take .{heir grain to market when the prices pies so them, and as a season of comparative leisure. Ostrander is eight miles west of Dele ware, the county of Delew&re county, and eight miles

east of Marysville, the county seat of Union county on the C. C. 0. & L railway and the advantages for market and shippings are first class. Ostrander is a very pleasant village of some 400 inhabitants, and is improving quite rapidly and bids fair to be a town of some importance in the near future, The Presbyterians here, are an active and influential people, and we are now holding two daily meetings, and the congregations are large and very attentive to the preaching of j the word, and the indications are ! very hopeful for a gracious in- j gathering of souls to the Kingdom' of Christ. We expect to return to Meadow Lake the 13th inst., but the pastor, the Rev. M. Brown, expects to continue the meeting as long as the people and the interest of the church may require. The people are anxious for us to remain during the continuance of th* meeting but our obligations, to others will not permit so to do, and we therefore expect to fill oui nett regular appointment at Meadow Lake, Jan. 15th, and return to Rensselaer early the following week. We are enjoying our visit very much, and if we are not surfeited with kindness and food, it will not be through any lack of attention on the part of the people, for they seem anxious to do every thing they can to enhance our comfort and pleasure. I expect to preach in Rensselaer at my next regular appointment, Jan. 22, and mv subject will probably be “ The Voice of Jacob, and the hands of Esau” and „Christ knocking at the door.” Wishing all my friends, and your numerous readers a happy and prosperous ' “new year,” I am gentleman, yours the same as ever.
