A ktmber of Russian Mennonites
are speuding tbe winter in Mifflin coun
ty among American bretbreu of the
same religious belief, as may be learned
from tbe following from the Lewistown
Senlinrl:
Eight families, in all forty persons,
of the above named people bave con
cluded to remain in Menno township,
until Spring. They sailed from Ham
burg, some time ago, with the intention
of settling tu Kansas. hen they
landed in this countiy they heard of
the grasshopper plague there and con
eluded to stop in the East during tbe
winter, and so tbey are in Menno town
ship, among friends, and good friends.
They dress iu tbe style illustrated iu
our school geographies peculiar to the
' Russian Serf." Their language is the
pure German, only familiar to the edu
cated of our excellent Amish (pro
nounced Ornish) population. Tbey
could not have chosen a happier local
ity for discipline, or educati u, prepar
atory to permanent entree upon their
new homes. They will be kindly cared
for and instructed, and be all the wiser
and better from their intercourse with
the Mennonites of Mifflin county.
