Lotter from an Americnn Misstonary. From the Boston Journal, ‘Wo hiavo recoived the following Jotter writtan by the Rov. J. O. Barrows, a missonary of the American Board In ‘Turkey, in which ho gives n turilling dosoription of “the ravages of tho famine in that country, It is dated Mlarsovan, May 22, Tho writer waa on his way to Stamboul to attend the annual moetiug of the missionarics, aud, as showing oue effoct of tho famine, states thut bo bud to pay twelve times as muoh for foed for his horso as ho usuully hos paid, Mo Bays 1 ?‘”\Vo bavo Lind our worat antloipations of tho famina more than realizod. We first camno to ouaof our outatations, where thore wero very fow pooplo loft. Formerly, as we havo drivon up tho placo, a orowd would immodiately gather about our wagon, Protostauts and others but uow ouly one or two solitary ludivldunlu’ ‘When I asked them how they iwere, they mnid ‘All rlght,’ just se, from hubit, they always answor ; but then thoy wont on to tell in whit condition they roally wero. Oue of the prinei- pel mon of the village, a Protostant, ono voar bgo wag quite woalthy. 1o had & large number of “cattle, sheep, and crmols ; now Lia bas remaining two or thres oxon, ous or two oows, aud threo camols, I think he said that soven of his sheop woro alive. Ho hed sonta man to the region of 8ivas to get a little grain. Thora {s gravary in tho villago full of wheat, but this iswold by the owner,s rich man in Yozgat, a4 & most exorbitaus price, and only for ready money, 80 what can thoro poor villagers do? We next went on to Aleuja, anothor of our outututions, Thore the crops wera botter than ot tho former village, but the brethron aro mostly yvery poor, and lnat fall, having 1o ready nionsy with whioh to add auything to thelr scanty stores for the winter, when tha snows camo and ahut them in, their Pprovisions, both for themuolves and their cattlo, woro exe bausted, aud very great suforing would have beou the result had not the preacher, by prom= lsing to pay himself, obtuined from Yozget a quantity of grain, Mauy of tho brathron nave left this villiga also, aud ottiors aro tryivg to got sway. Thoso littlo Protestunt comwunities ars Ewmly weakeuod ; for tho prosent, alnost roken u[:. Weo hope, however, that bottor harvests this year will onable a largo patt to oy Dbuck again. ** But we camo on to Yozgat, and here te saw #ho famine in ita moro appalling aspeots, city is filied with h\murfi emecinted, dying mo womon, aud children.” Mauy a poor’ vifl died from starvation in tho streets of 0zgat. So faras I con leurn, tho Protestaut brethrem havo doue yory well in the roliof of thio poor, bus what aro thoy among somany? Tho city has boon literally filled with the poor villagors, who, s soou ay the roads were sulliciontly opon'to ale low them to move from their places oF confine~ mont and starvation, fled to the city, hoplug to got o mordel of bread. Thoy crowd around the Lmbl[a ovens and reach out thoir bony, blackened nnds, crying piteously for something to ap- ponse the raging of torrible hungor, ilotbuu with chitdren at their breasts, and other littlo ones clinging tothair tatterad skirts; old men and tho sick, unable to stand; those that were atrong young men, all alike ploadiug that they may not “bsp loft to die. Oh, the scone was too Loartrend= 'ug, and bfifgnm dasoription, w ‘‘The Mussulmans through those famins- atrioken rogions have done very little, and in some places notling at all, for the poor, sven of i The rioh T'nrks store up grain their houses, loak tholr doors, aud lst tho oor die in the streets, Many of thosowho Aave grain are in league with the local Govern- o, and so thoy aro not compolled to sell.
