FT. 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

with,orie or other of, those, rather than he

building before spoken of, is, now vacant,
and can be used for , the present, and per

,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.'

colder; are uniform and much more agreea

Cernelips Alen was born,Jarr. 18th, 1166,
in what is now the State of New Jersey, on
the Raritan; but exactly at what point he
cannot remember. His memory has some
what failed, s,o that spate poins in his history
must ever remain in obscurity. Yet, in
many respects, he is still ••a ~s prightlyold
gentleman. 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. Remained there again
about, .two , yeArsr ,theAl.rO?nov9d,

County, Ohio, where he resided about eigh
teen years: Next, he emigrated to Patton
County,, 11.; reinaiied.sevcn years; thonce
he removed to Stark County, where he stilt
resides.`` He has, for some years, made, his
honie with his son, Aaron Aten. still
retained, till last June, the wife, in whose
companionship he continence& the career of
his manhood, at the age of twenty five Years,
and' who, for the period of sixty-five, years;
had been the faithful companion 'of his'
travels 'and sojournings When in New
Jersey, his parents were connected with•the•
Reformed Dutch Church; but sometime
after they Came tio `York CountY, Pa:`," 'they'
connected with . the Presbyterian church at
Hunterstown, of which Rev. 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.. When the church
was organized,s.Father,Aten was elected and
installed as an eider, in, the West `JerseyChurch, and he still, serves in that• capacity.

surface creates a vacuum, (as far as 'the
water is concerned,)whiCh is at, once killed
by water rising up ;; from the subsoil—rthe
water from the .subsoil is replaced from the
next below,—and in , this manner the circa
laden of water in the earthis , the reverse of
that which takes 'place in wet weather.
This progress to the surface, of the water in
the earth, manifeMS . itself ,Strikingly in the
drying up of springs and wells,, and streams
which are supported by, springs.
It is not, howeVer, only the water which
is brought to - the mirfaee of the earth, but
also- all the water-holds in solution. These
substa,nces are : salts of lime and Magnesia, of
potash and. soda' and indeed whatever the
subsoil or top strata of the earth may -con
tain. The water, on „reaching the surface, is
evaporated and leaves behind, in the soil,
its mineral "sal&—the chief of which: are
lime, magnesia, phosphate °Ohne, carbonate
and solicatie of potash:and Soda—rand also
common salt—all indispensable to thegrowth
of ..the vegetable products •of the farm.
Pure rain water, as it, falls, .will disolve but
a very small portion of some, of these sub.
stances, but when it sitars into the earth it
then becomes strongly jmbued with carbonic
acid from. the deOmpoiiiion .of :vegetable
Matter.• in the soil, and thus- acquires the
property, of readily dissolving minerals, on
which it before could have very:little in-
Several experiments tried by Prof. H. go
to shew:' , this action, of drouth,in hiinitng
tnattrililo l theiiiiffecii of the sea In one
case he placed a solution of chloride of _bar
ium in the .bottom, of glass cylinder,. and
then, filled it with Ary, 50i1.., After, long_ ex
posure to the rays of the sun the peace
of the soil was ~ .testedwith sulphuric
acid, and , gave a copious. precipitate of
sulphate of baryta. Chloride of lime,
sulphate of soda, ,and carbonate .of pot
ash were experimented upon in like man
ner, and upon the application of proper
tests, the surface of the soil showed their
presence in' large -quantities; drain up, by,
the rising of water..from underneath, as in
the ease ,of drotith.

..The parched earth l —every green thing
dwarfed in growth or ;withered by , long-con
tinued heat—seems suffering' under an af
flictive dispensation of Providence-yet we
should,n l ot,murmur; it iaa blessing ,dis
guise. The early and the latter rain may
produce at once abundant crops, but dry
weather is needed= to . bring to - the surface
food' for future 'harietits from the depths
.of
the earth, where else it would lie forever un
employed., It is aneeded means of keeping
upthe fertility of the cultivated soil.
Let the' horse feed as naturally as possi
ble in, the stable. ge has been furnished
with a long neck in order that h&May reach
down to feed, as he.does in the pasture, and
not that he may. reach up and pull out a
small lock of hay from the rack. Give a

steal his fodder from a rack with narrow
spaces, as though he did not deserve his
keeping. 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. A-horse enjoys , a good nice bed;
as much as a man, .and why should he not
have =it? Ag,ood home deserves it. 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

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."
