seven years the editor writes to him and
asks linn to let him have two dollars, and
then the subscriber writes back to the edl

any more, for there is nothing in it, and
then the poor editor goes nnd starves lo

Tho Columbia County Agricultural So

best exhibitions of any similar society in

stantial board fence eight feet In height
has been built. The race track has been
enlarged to a full half mile, and mado fifty

around tho Inside of the track, and a new
nnd much more comodlous Judges' stand

Tho Harvest Homo Reunion and fifticnth
anniversary of Rev. A. Houtz's pastorate
of tho Orangevlllo charge on last Thursday
in the SIcgarglo Grove at Orangeville was
very impressive. The committee on nr.
raugemcnts deservo great credit for their
taste manifested In the preparation of tho
ground. Tho seating capacity wns con
sidered sufficient to accommodate four
hundred persons. I'rouably not moro
than half present could bo comfortably
seated. Tho preachers stand was well
arranged, with an arch ol cvorgroens
in front, which was decorated with largo
golden letters, which were made to read
tho suggestive text for thepccaslon, "Hon
or tho Lord with thy substance," of courso
every body took the hint and threw in lib
erally when tho contribution box went
around, Tho stand in form represented a
small structure with three gable ends, ouo
above the arch,thc others at the ends of tho
stand, tho rafters representing the three
ends wero also festooucd with evergreens.
liut all around and above was open spaco
except the follago of the grove. The grove
temple was nn inviting spot, not on account
of its beauty only, but on account of its
friendly shelter from tho burning heat and
glaring rays of the sun and tho basket dinner
of which all pnitook with a hearty relish
A spring of good cold water was near at
hand which slaked tho thirst of man and
beast. Rov.W. Goodrich, u former pastor,

to the vivid recollection of the older portion
of tho audience; and tho growth nudfruit re

closing exercise was In tho nature of n sur-
prlso for Rov. A. Houtz, by tho presenta
tion of nn elegant cano by Rev. Dechunt in
behalf of tho young members confirmed by
Pastor Houtz. Tills was also an impres
sive scene mingled with a llttio fun. A
history of tho Reformed Church, prepared
by Rev. Houtz, from her primitive to her
present stato In Columbia county, was read
by Rev. Kolder, Her history Is both very
Interesting and instructive, onco a dopen
dent mission field, now thrco or four self
supporting und prosperous charges, nlso
contributing largely for missions. The
history of each congregation in tho Ornngc
vlllo charge was taken up and read In turn,
commencing with St. James, Dot this lu
not all. We look around nnd see other
spiritual fields, also lu a high stato of cul
tivation. Many other sister denomina
tions of which somo aro moro powerful In
numbers, and wealth too perhaps, occupy
ing tho sumo teriltory. These all havo
their fields of labor and usefulness, and
are prosperous and hnppy, Notwlthstand
ing this community of neighboring denom
inations and of church homes, living in
peaco and harmony, and cultivating their
rcspectivo spiritual fields to their utmost
cnpaclty, there still remains much spiritual
wilderness unoccupied. Does no ono care
for this field of commoiiH ? Is it beyond tho
power of cultivation ? Is It a spiritual park
to which all denominations resort for
pleasure and amusement ? Gravo consider
ntloiiB these, and great subject for theolo
gians. Yours, Aug. J, VSSl. v,
