LETTER FROM SCHWARTZ. FAEK.tR, Jan 12, 16S0 > Messrs. Editors —Again I 3fize my pen-oil iu defence of self, and for the purpose of retrospection, argument, and perhapß advice. The latter may not lie well taken, but I claim I am not accountable therefor. And first, I have a large complaint to offer, viz.,' that my antagonist, critic, or whatever he may style himself, an swers through a medium which, as far as I can learn, does not circulate in thib "neck o' woods," consequently 1 do uot get his communication perhaps for weeks after it is published, and then only by sending through the mails for it. Again, now "honest John that stole the dog," has uot lit-- changed liib nom de pi" no 1 on mc ! 1 am of the opinion that both articles came from the same fountain head. I n the last, over the signature of "P. Stem," lie grows more than eloquent; he gets sublime in the words which he puts in my mouth, in that lecture on "Acorns." It reminds me of one of two things: either the lirst attempt of an over-confident beginner, or his the expiring effort of past greatness vet imagining that composition is harangueing assembled wisdom. He poars to an unprecedented height, but flies too long as well as too high, aud the consequence is he suffers the fate of all over-inflated balloons—he col lapses ; just at the point where we migfet reasonably expect something the thing "peters out," flattens, falls dead and stale as sour beer. There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. In his attempt to reach the former he reached the latter, and in good shape too. Next time he should not soar so high; get so far out; spread so large, until he sees where be will land. "It is always best not to have more washing on hands than we have line to haug it on.' So much for his Demosthenic attempts at oratory; now for a retrospection. He charges my "flying artillery" with wounding friends instead of foes, Ac., in the "Sabbath School obituary," that it was not neglect of friends that caused the death of the school. Let me say to him he is just as far "off the belt" on that statement as in any other he has made. That notice was pre concerted, and the effect in inserting it has, at least, been partly attained, yet only partly. When I drew out of him the reluctant confession that Mrs. Adam Black and the Superintendent of the school were its friends, I partly, at least, succeeded ; but there are or were a few others. Why did he not give their names also? Honor to whom honor is due; they too should come in for their share. The minister in charge, Rev. Lawrence, also worked faithfully for the school, but what benefit were the efforts of a few willing ones against the unwilling ones ? I did uot say that the school died of neglect from its friends, but "from neglect of those who should hare been its friends," and I reiterate the charge in full. Why was "P. Stem" only an "occasional visitant," and then only an "observer?" Why was he not a regular attendant aud a worker f Where, too, were the dozens of heads of families, young men and women, boys and girls, as well as children, that should have been regu lar attendants and workers, instead of observers or visitors only, perhaps ? Where were their Sabbaths spent while these workers were laboring in the face of discouragements, disap pointments, absence of "well wishers" and "occasional visitors?" Can ho, in common with others I have pointed out, say what the Master said of one who too was complained of: "She did what she could !" or has he and they buried their talent in a napkin lest it bear fruit and "others gather where they have not strewed ?" That school, nor no other one, will die of neglect from real and true friends, but simu lated and pretended friends are a curse to any one. Will "P. Stem" gather up bis friends and neighbors and make as bold a stand, as laborious an effort, and as hearty an ap|>eal to the public in behalf of the comiug genaration, as he has in my favor ? Will he throw his whole and undivided influence in. his vicinity for and to the training of youth in the way in which they should go ? He has talent; will he direct it in the way it should go and thereby gain other talents by setting a good example to others; by pointing out the shoals on which others have stranded and wrecked themselves; by inducing others also to take an active part in these matters; by giving time and money in support of religious influ ences, remembering that he is only a steward-in-charge, that whatever means he has or may command are only loaned, for which an account must be rendered strictly and faithfully. And not only him, but others, are too much "occasional observers" and only "well wishers" of those whose efforts are blended with their means for the prop agation of religious influences in our midst. Too often they are to be seen idly lounging away the time when, were they one-fourth as diligent in seeking ways to work as they are ways to spend their unoccupied time, our country would to-day present a different spectacle than that of idlers, gossipers and visitors spending "such set times as He has appointed in His word" aimlessly, listlessly, aud with out any good results, but in laying the foundation and sowing the seeds of vice, immorality, licentiousness and crime. Will he and they do this ? If they will, then the object for which I have hastily written will be, at least, partly accomplished. SCHWARTZ. TBULY A QUEER CASE.—Mrs. J. E. Ingraham informs us of a queer case that is worth publishing. She says they had a hen at their place that had apparently rheumatic feet, and in doc toring them it drove the malady to the hen's head and destroyed her sight. Mrs. Ingraham then directed the man to kill the hen, and in the evening he cut her bead clear off and threw her bgdy out near the stable. In the morning the attention of the family was attracted by a fuss made by all the chickens, which were gathered in s body near the stable and making a terrible cackling over something. Upon going to the scene there was the headless hen walking around among the others and giving forth a kind of "clack" from the stub of her windpipe, which stuck out above the stump of a neck. This was fifteen hours after her bead had beeu cut off, and sbo was not dead by any means. Without thinking to keep her as a great natural curiosity, Mr. Ingrab«iU finished her by two or three shots through the body with his revolver. - -JUartfonT (Ft<i)'JvuriUil. A PLEASANT PASTIME.

From the annual report of the Sec retary of the Interior we take the fol lowing information regarding the two of our Territories mentioned, as fur nished by their respective Governors: WASHINGTON TERRITORY. The Governor of Washington Terri tory reports satisfactory advancement in the development of the agricultural, manufacturing, mining, and commer cial resources of the Territory. Its isolated position and the misconception existing in relation to its climate and productions have tended to prevent its rapid growth. Situated between the and 49 J north latitude, its climate is generally believed to be cold, and yet the results of careful observation show that the climate of Western Washington is mild, during the winter months the temperature seldom falling below the freezing point. A tabular statement is given, showing the character of the climate throughout the year, based on accurate meteorological observations taken at Port Blakeley, 011 Puget Sound, in latitude 47° 36'. It would appear from this statement that the lowest temperature during a period of twenty-six months was 25 above zero. The highest in 1877 was 88°; in 1878, 94°; and in 1879, 86°. The average rainfall is about the same as in the Eastern and Western States. The mildness of the climate is due to the presence of the thermal current, having its origin at the equa tor, near the 130° cast longitude, Greenwich, and which flows north wardly to the Aleutian Islands, where it separates, one branch flowing cust wardiy, along the peninsula of Alaska, and then southwardly, along the coast of British Columbia, Washington Ter ritory, and Oregon. The prevailing winds during the winter are from the southwest, and those of the summer from the northwest. The temperature of Eastern Wash ington as compared with the western division is slightly higher during the summer and lower during the winter. The average annual temperature is re ported as follows: spring, 52°; sum mer, 73° ; autumn, 53° ; winter, 34°. All the cereals, fruits, and vegetables grown within the temperate zone can be raised in Washington Territory. Eastern Washington is the great wheat field of the Territory, with a capacity for upwards of 100,000,000 of bushels. The average yield is twenty-five bush els to the acre. The exportation of wheat during the present year will be upwards of 60,000 tons. Transportation facilities are inadequate to the demand, and wilj so continue until the obstructions are removed at the Dalles, Cascades, and other points on the Columbia River. The exports of the Territory have been the cereals and wool, flour, live stock, canned salmon, fish, lumber, coal, potatoes, hops, hides, barrels, lime, etc. The export of coal during the year was 190,000 tons; lumber, 150,000,000 feet; salmon, 160,000 cases of 48 cans eaeh, or a total of 7,680,000 cans. The population of the Territory on the Ist of May last was 57,784, an increase of 7,273 over last year. NEW MEXICO. The three leading interests are min eral, grazing and agricultural; manu facturing is confined almost exclusively to jewelry, of which very exquisite work in filigree is produced in Santa Fe, mostly from gold and silver native to the Territory. But little advancement has been made in agriculture. Its present con dition is very primitive, the old Mexi can wooden plow still holding prefer ence with the farmers. The little pro duced is with a view to s.itisfy local consumption. Wheat and oat fields, as rich as any in Illinois and Minne sota, may be seen six or seven thous and feet above the level of the sea. The grape is easily, raised, is free from disease, fend affords a good quality of wine. The area of agricultural pro duction cannot be even approximatcly given. All irrigable lands, wherever found in the Territory, may be classed as productive or farming land. The Rio Grande Valley, about four hundred miles in length by an average of five in width, has a soil light, warm, and surpassinglv rich. Not more than one-tenth of this land is occupied. Fruits succeed admirably in this local ity, although the varieties at present cultivated, except the grape, are of the poorest kind. The valley of the Pecos River is almost entirely devoted to grazing purposes. Like the valley of the Rio Grande its soil is rich when properly irrigated, and its climate healthy and delightful. The Mesilla Valley, like the two mentioned, is in viting both for agricultural aud grazing purposes. The vast tracts of table lands bordering the valleys are too high for irrigation, but yield grasses of the rifcbest kpd for cattle and sheep ratetof?. 'WITH eifch ualimltfed rtiugfes, s ISaUjHE. pit., J&traarg 2t» tßs&. stock raislug has become a profitable industry, with promiv of substantial growth in the future. In relation to the mineral resources, I : the Governor is of the opinion that | ! New Mexico will compare favorably | with her neighbors i:i the yield of ; precious metals. Although the era of j ' prospecting has hardly given place to ' that of development, enough is already ! known to warrant the assertion that the Territory is well stored with gold, silver, iron and copper. TUB extraordinary action of the Re publican State Committee in fixing » early a .date for the State Convention is provoking discussion, as it deserves 1 >. There was no justifying reason for the haste shown. And it cannot l>ut lead to mischief. The intelliv if the Re publican party will not permit such vi olation of usage and oi' fairplay. If nothing else can be done, it will pro test against "snap judgments" and tricks which involve a denial of the right of the voter to be considered and consulted. The exigency of the party is such as to require the best judgment of its coolest and most unselfish men; and the times are not propitious for schemes which preclude debate and shut off consideration. In the resentment which this act has caused some intemperance of speech has been indulged. Vet the fact re r mains that tie Republicans of the State are amazed, and outraged at the manifest effort to hasten the decision of grave questions which are not to be hastily decided, and which cauuot be as wisely decided as they could be two months hence. The pretexts given to justify this unprecedented haste are pitiful and are unworthy of considera tion. In no other State has this pre cipitancy occurred, and there is no g-ood reason why Pennsylvania Repub licans should have been humiliated by action which is disrespectful to them and which instinctively raises suspi cion as to its prompting motives. This question is not one of candidates. It is one of good faith and fair deal ing among men with a common faith and a common purpose.— Phila. Press. Jan. 5. PROVEBSS. ?
