HOWARD, BROWN CO., Win., Fibruary 9, 1857. Mn. Erirrou---Dear Sir :—I wish4to call your attention, and thrciigh your, paper, the attention of the ,Old School Presbyterian Murat, te,tbe spiritual wants of 'this place, both• with regard to its importance as a field for church extension, and the peeuliar.cir-- cumrtances in which, by the blessing Of - God,. we - are 'just now planed, hoping-that by so, doing, some Means may be offered by which our wants may be supplied. In the first place, permit me to' say a word respecting the present and:prospective position of this place.- The village of .Ft. Howard is„situated on the,West bank of the Pox River, about one mile from its mouth, and directly opposite the city of dreenßay. The two places; taken together, number about 'five' thousand.inhabitants, fully one third, of whom live on this side of the river: The village is of about six years' 'growth - , and is building up quite,rapidly ; and, from appearances; Will scanibe the port through 'which the greater portion of the- trade• of Central and lsTorthern Wisconsin will-pass; is the' route to the East-, by way of. the ; Lakes, is shorter and more direct by thaif-bpjany of the other ' , pits ondalp3 Michigan,- and thi3 opening of, theFoi and Wisconsin Rivers,.for steamboat tiayigation, gives us: direct intefcmirse with 'the Missis sippi:River; besides;which, there" have bepn surveys made forthree distinct, lines• of Taal- road, all intended to centre at this place. These circumstances , ' together ' 'with -thel fact that country all arorind ia.rich in • pibe 'timber and fertile lands, andis fast settling up by emigrants from the, East, promise fair at no distant' day, to give this , plaotan eminent position among the cities ' - The foregoing considerations are certainly of sufficient importance to make It desirable that a briineWof.,bui beloved Church Should, be establiehed here, that iti might grow in usefulness,: aid - influence with the growth of the place. Yet, aside from thes&general points of interest, this place is, at thisiiine, peculiarly in: want of; 0, settled- preacher. ISome two and a half ye:ars ago, an effort was made 'en the partof it few persons to establish a church in the village ; and a pastor was secured, supported mostly by the village, and partly 'by the American Board of "Home Missions: As those instrunkental in forming the Society were, of Afferent de= nominations, it was thought better to organ ize, an independent ;church; and it was ae corAingly called, The First Congregational church of Ft. Howard, although &majority of thoim forming it had been members of the Old School Presbyterian body, previous to coming to this place.- The church went on under his ministry for abOut a year and a half,' during, which time a church edifice was erected, and nearly completed, mainly by the people, of the village.; and the pros-, poets seemed fair for the establishment of the church. But the heart of the pastor was not-wholly in his ;work; ,and at the end of that time, 'he resigned his charge,. and gave up his calling for the affairs of the world; and since that time, the Society be ing without a leader, has become scattered, and Can now: scarcely be. said to have an ex istence, as a'body. i Yet a majority of the members, and es peeially 'those inclined to the O. B... Presb yterian Church, are anxious to have a stated ministry of the facepel, and would prefer ond'pt:that: faith. In :addition to these, quite. a number have come in during the list year, of the same class, and haViiiithe same desire's. , . another fekture of our etiie; THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND AD VOCAT E. that which induces the writer at this time to move in the matter, is, that these two 1 places, Green I3ay and Ft. Howard, have been enjoying a most precious revival season, under the labors of an Evangelist preacher, the Rev. 0. Parker by name, who has been very successfully laboring in this section of the State during the present Winter; and in Green Bay, for a few weeks past. His meetings have been held in the Presbyterian church, (N. S.) in that place, and have been attended by persons of all evangelical de nominations, where they have heard the true Word preached with power and effect, to the hearts of many people. About one hundred and twenty persons. of all ages, have, for the first time, proclaimed their faith in Christ, and their determination to serve him. Also, about an equal number of back slidden professors have been brought to see their errors, and to, renew their vows. In ail this, there has been no excitement; but a calm, pervading spirit of inquiry after the truth as it is found in the Scriptures, which convinces all that it is really the work of tbe Holy Spirit. The , proportion' of the above number, who reside on this side of the%rivey, is about one-fourth. The two places are now as if they were jeined in one, by a bridge of ice, a.nd 130 lopg as it; remains, all have free access to the churches in Green Bay ; but when Summer Advances, and it is removed, they are separated by a river as widuas the Allegheny, at'Pittsburgh, with- oat a ,bridge,• and; consequently, in, a Man ner without preaching. And thus, those, who have so lately been -awakened, will.be without those influences which the regular- Christian services of - Sabbath U.lWays and WM& are 'so riedessaryin'ibe mainte2 , nanee of a Christian spirit and without Which, even the most steadfast are often apt to grow cold and unconcerned. The Methodists and, Baptists are. both making , efforts to occupy , this field; and there are some who would 'infer a Presby terian, organization, who will ,likely unite with,orie or other of, those, rather than he without a church.cennexion. The church building before spoken of, is, now vacant, and can be used for , the present, and per haps Permanently if desirable. The neces sary support ,`for a pastor could be raised witheut much, if any, diffieulty,:iind ,the writer .reels confident.that a church •coUld, be formed here, if we .had an acceptable, minister, of from twelve to twenty mem bers, and pethaps more. Thus, Christian brethren of the East, we are situated ; these are our wants and our desires; and, cannot something be .done to supply them? Is there. not Bon3e ,one just.' entering the ministry that would: desire to come and identify himself with, this grow. ing place, and build.up a church here ? or is there not some church that hisi been for years feasting_ on the pleached Word, that would be willingfor:u season, to fast, for the benefit of. Christ's, ause in this Ow? We Call not for money, but for a man—for a leader, 'zealous and faithful, around whom we could gather our` own good, and the good of souls in this place. This place has a high charaoter for Bala inky in Summer; andthe,Wintere, although colder; are uniform and much more agreea ble than in your changable 'climate. The writer'is a native of Western Pennsylvania,, and naturally looks`back. tbere,, as : the bird to the parent meat, for assistance. That it may not be-in vain, and that this field may speedily be occupied, is the sincere desire of. A YOUNG PRESBYTERIADi. P.

The writer has, beerr,acqUainted for almost five years with 'the aged father a sketch of whose life is contained in the fallowing nar rative, and' from whom it, was obtained few weeks since for iiublication,that we' of the present generation may see something of the "travels of a pilgrim," who has been, engaged in the service of our Master for more than three-score years:' • .

He walks to: church, 'or rides on - hcirsebriek two' or three miles, and re turns the same day. When he was:bait eight years - of age, his father, John Aten, emigrated • to .York Chttnty, , Pa.j, near, - to the village of 'Hunters tiiwn, now in Adams County. This was .two years before the declaration of Indepea- Mr. Atert remained' twelve years in York County, and then emigrated to the Western part of Virginia, and settled on the Ohio River, about thirty,miln,helow Pittsburgh. Here he remained five yearki, when Cornelius, then twenty•five years of age, married Miss Sarah Bell, and after remaining still two years, with; his father, removed, across ,the line into Pennsylvania. • He`remained there' a,bout..two years, and then returned to his father's in Virginia.

Mr. Hender son was, he •minister. Cornelius connected himself with the Presbyterian church in . Virginia, soon after his marriage. After the family came to Virginia, they were without the ,preached Gospel, mostly, for some- years. But after some time', „ Rev. Mr. Scott came out froth New Jersey,; or Eastern Pennsylivania, and preached a fevi times. The congregation then made out a call for his pastoral abors, and sent a team and brought his family. The call was moderated by Rev. Thonias Marquis, who was at Cross Creek.. Rev. M. Clark was in what was called the Neck, Rev. }lr Dodd at Ten Mile, Rev Dr: M'Millan at °harder's. Soon after Mr. Scott carne, about ,twenty-five or thirty-were , added •to the church under his" dare at the Eats: When Cornelius was about thirtyone years or age ' he removed to Erie County, Pa., and united with the church at the Four Corners, under the care of Rev. Mr. Eaton. Father Aten was then chosen elder. When he came to Ashland, in Richland County, Ohio, he was elected and installed as an elder there. Rev. Mr. Lee came the name year, and remained two years. When he left, Rev. Wm. Matthews came, and supplied the church about, two years. The Rev. Mr. Hare came and supplied them one year. Here is a period, during which, I have not the history of that church, only that Father Aten remained there thirteen years. He then removed to Lewistown, or rather to Fulton County, 'about ten miles frornLewis. town, and united with that church, and, being inconveniently situated, did not serve as an elder. Rev. James G. M'Ginnis came to Lewistown the same.time, and remained, about three years, and returned to Pennsyl vania on account, of ill health. Then Rev. Robert Steel came, and remained three years or morei and died. A short time before his .death,, Father ',Aten removed •to, Stark County,:and settled ,on the berders,ef the congregation of Rochester, then under the care of Rev. Robert F. Breese, who was then laboring with the churches of Prince,ville and Rochester,the latter of whieh included'the settlement,of *eat Jereey.. Sooriatter this, a church; was organized. in this settlement, and was still supplied by Brother Breese till his 'death, in 1851..

It is thought that a horse will waste his hay if he is fed from a manger; but he will not, if he has good hay, given in proper quantities. The best horsemen say, feed a horse as you do yourself. Give him his breakfast, dinner, and supper, and nothing between meals. It is a mistaken kindness that keeps hay continually before a horse. When he has more hay before him than he can eat up clean, he wastes it, or eats more than his system requires. A horse should have enough to eat, and then, if not in Ase, should stand three or four hours with nothing before him: Such a course of treatment: keeps his appetite keen, and.he relishes his dinner. -Let him have, a generous supply of good bedding.

Be-. cause he cannot complain of sleeping in the wet and .dirt of the stable, or on hard plank, let no man think that. his horse does not , appreciate such favors as a good bed. He .will lie doirn during the day occasionally, if - he is well oared for. For Summer` use, saii:dust 'makes ''excellent bedding. It 'is coca,,smiet and even,, and also keeps the stall in a healthy condition. , A supply of fresh, 'clean water, is indis pensable to the comfort of man and beast. I - have noticed that - herse drinks the most heartily after l eating i his supper, about eight O'clOok - in the evening. GrOoming is one of `the civilities of the stable;and ought to be attended to lendt only causes'a hoise.,to look well, but, it promotes, health. A faithful 'groom is equal to two quarts of oats Such attention paid to a good horse is by no means like f 4 eastinF pearls before swine." wh'o does it,:and treats; his horse kindly, is sure of his rewar&--ifaine: Farmer. isctilannus.

' To have six feet of water at the est season; and but 'little interruption from ice—what a consummation ! And we believe it- practicable—especially. the six feet of water. But 'to have five feet, or four, or even three feet at, the loweat; time, would . l)e an immense bandit; and csnecially if riot interrupted by lockages.
