Mr. Wolf, the new Superintendent, won golden opinions, as the official hesd of the Institute. We can not give the proceedings in detail, much as we wish to. Our crowd ed columns utteily forbid us to do 80 and we ask the kind indulgence of our readers. EMPORIA, KANSAS, JAN. 3rd, ISS2, MR. EDITOR: Since I have last written I have been on the "wing" much of my lime. I have attended the meeting of the Ohio Synod, which convened in Miamisburg, some 35 miles north of Ciucinati, m the far.famed Miami Val ley. The meet ing was held in the lat ter part of October, and as the timber is principally Sugar and Beech, the foli -age at that season of the year was in nil its'grandeur, and the ground being covered with wheat and blue grass, very fresh and green, the contrast with our timberless and browned praies was simply magnificent. I yisited the celebrate*! Mound (a relic of by-gone ages) one mile S. E. from Miamiasburg, and from its summit had a view which brought vividly to my recollection the scene from the top of Nittany moun tain uear Centre Ilall, but for grandeur •of scenery it is more excellent than anything I ever saw. I have also made several visits to Jackson and Jefferson bounties in the northern part of the state, at Ilolden and Valley Falls there is a large Pennsylvania element most of whom seem to be ,doing well, finan cially at least, and are beginning,to.fee! quite at heme in Kansas life and man ners, which by the way, are radically different from the staid old ways of Centre Co. "Yoney" Kreamer former ly of Jlebersburg, feels and acts as though he were a native Kansan. He reminds me much of a good old elder in my first charge. I visited him fre quently, coming by times when he was busy, but he would at once cease his labor with the remark, "I am not lazy, but I am glad you have come so that I need not work." Though "Youey" has become completely at home here be has not forgotten that famous Penn sylvania " Qemiuthlichkiet ," and never will. It is acknowledged by all who ev er visited Kansas in the months of June and July, that It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. At that time the praries stretch out before you in all directions, covered not only with rich pasturage but with the choisest flowers. Many of the house ,plants, which are cultivated with so much care by your Penns valley people here'grow wild, such as Hi® Oxalis, Cactus, Verbenas, Morning-glories and many others. As you pags over these prairies you stem to be ascending all the time, and at a distance of 40 or 50 miles the mountains appear to loom up, but as you approach they recede. Then turn from the prairies to the cultivated fields and for rankness of vegetation | i;i an ordinary season) the East can- 1 not compare with it. But—when the frost comes, in one week the entire scene changes, and this holds specially in regard to the western and s. west ern parts of the state. I made a trip some 25 miles west of Wichita a few weeks ago, and while Kansas univer sally is dreary in the winter, this part seems to be doulily so. Before you, as fitr as the eye can see is one vast stretch of dead prairie. Not a green thing is visible save a few grain Held 9 upon which the stock is grazing. Not a tree or shrub within sight, save here and there a few that have lately been plant ed. Two, three and sometimes more miles apart you will 11 nil where some settler has taken a claim, erected a shanty often not more than 12x14 feet, one story high. Occasionally one with two rooms, while a house containing 4 or 5 rooms is large enough to admit of a sign on front which tells vou it is in tended as a hotel or something of the kind, riod liouses and stables as well as "dug outs" are still quite common. Fences are seldom seen. Few cattle are kept, as they must be herded, but a change is taking place. It is found that wheat is too uncertain to be depended upon, and farmers are turning their at tention more to cattle, hogs and broom corn. As the settlers understand the country and the climate better they can adapt themselves and their work to it with profit and comfort. As a Penn sylvanian who has lived all his lifetime amongst hills, mountains, evergreens and streams of fresh sparkling water, passes over this country he is very apt to exclaim, "ilome, sweet home." But it is astonishing to see how con tented and hanpy most of these people are. 1 mean those who remain, for it ts a fact that can not he denied that a very large percent of Kansas emigrants remain only a short time. But where they settle down and succeed financial ly, they soon seem to adapt themselves to the country and its ways and are as "happy as the day is long." Among many cases I might single out one, as a fair representative of a large class. Some five or six years ago a Mr. 8., of Lewisburg, Union Co., Pa., failed in business and was left with only a few dollars in money with which to com mence anew the battle of life, at the age of 65. lie concluded to try Kansas, bought an emigrant ticket, came| to Wichita when he had $13.00 left of a tortuue of $40,000. He at once rented a room, paid three dollars rent for the first month, rented a store, and with a few boxes and benches for furniture, started up housekeeping. With what little money was left he bought a sau sage machine and stuffer and a small hog and set up the business of butcher ing. This was four years ago last fall. In the spring of 78 his three sons, three daughters and one son-in-law fol lowed him. The daughters and two sons have since married and the entire family has settled down near Marshall, 23 miles west of Wichita, where they have 800 acres ot land iu one tract and 80 in another at the outskirts of the village where the father and one of the sons still follow butchering. The first night 1 spent with the father and the son, the second with the son-in-law, Mr. G., who for many ypars was a pro minent citizen of Sunburv, Pa. As he owns the best property and is one ot the prominent citizens of the place, being a lawyer, justice of the peace ar.d notary public, I will give you a descrip tion of his house and manner of life, llis housß is a frame structure, the main part 14x14 feet by 10 in height, lower stoiy 7 feet, a ladder "leading to the second story or garret, which is bearly high enough for a grown person to stand erect in the centre. Attached to this is a kitchen 1 0xl4 feet, (5 feet high, ceiled aloDg the rafters. The main part of the house serves for bed rooms, while the addition is used as kitchen, dining room, law office ar.d ev ery other purpose. The of seven persons, and yet they found room to entertain right comfortably myself and my compauion. In answer to my question, "Do you feel at home in this new country ?" he replied most heartily, "Never more so in my life." The entire family seems as happy and contented as any I ever saw. It gave me great pleasure to preach for them, both in the morning and afternoon. It was the first sermon they had heard from either Reformed or Lutheran for four years. They purpose taking steps at an early day to build a small church and call a minister to live and labor a mongst them. They are full of hope, and with ihe blessing of God they will succeed. But I find I am spiaing out far be yond what I intended to at the outset, and lest I weary you with my gossip I will bring my letter to a close by ask ing you to send the JOURNAL to me at West Alexandria, Preble Co., O. Af ter the 10th of this month, where I ex pect to make my future home. After I become fully settled there, I may find time to send you a description of "Das gelobte Land." Yours truly, J. G. SHOEMAKER. Forty years ago the consumption of spirits in the province of Ontario was five gallons per head; now it is only one and a half gallons. For all that, | Canada still spends $18,000,000 a year ' for whisky, and only about one-seventh as much for religion.
