The Camden Camp Meeting.

The camp ground located between Dover an,
Camden, known as the Camden Camp Ground
has been purchased and deed obtained, for th,
use of the Methodist Episcopal church. Ii i,
intended to make it permanent camp ground
at which camp meetings shall hereafter be hele
annually. The purchase and appropriation, OF
rather dedication of this beautiful ground tc
such purpose is very judicious and commen
dable arrangement at the present time.
| The camp ground contains, says the Repor.
Ter an area of about eighteen acres. 1t is
crossed by avenues eight feet wide and about
sixty feet apart, crossing each other at right
angles. The two principal ones which lead
! from the enclosure within the tents, 10 the
front ground or entrance are each thirty feel
wide. The smaller avenues between the tents
are four feet wide.
The altar is ga by 80 feet; the stand 20 BY
| 10 feet. The whole space within the tents is
about $50 feet square, and the block of seats is
llG feet by llS. 1t consists of two rows, each
lG feet wide, and two others each 81 feet wide.
There are three passages between these four
rows, two of which are feet wide, the other
or central passage is 8 feet wide The pas
sage round the entire block of seats, between
it and the tents is Is feet wide. That part of
it winch lies between the seats and the altar is
10 feet wide.
This ground lies directly on the State road
leading from Dover to Camden, about two
miles from the former and one mile from the
latter place. 1t is on the south side of beauti.
ful and never-faiing stream of pure water.
The circle has been much enlarged this sea-
son, being within the first row of tents from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty yards in
diameter. 1t is contemplated to have the av.
enues leading to it through the tents in the
form of the radii Of circle with the preachers
stand in the centre, from which they all di-
verge. Whether the managers will be able to
get the ground SO arranged entire to their
satisfaction this season or not, we are not GER
tain, as this is the first camp held here since
the purchase of the ground, but such is the out
line of what they contemplate, as we are in
formed.
About hundred tents will go from the
neighborhood. We understand several hun
dred tents will be down from Philadelphia in
cluding some ten different churches. And as
the Delaware Railroad passes near the camp
ground, it will afford the people of philade phia
and Wilmington very great facilities for at
tending the meeting. The company have very
generously reduced the fare for the round trip
to $l.50 from Philadelphia, and in a cores
pondng ratio from other points along the road

also caught; by a strenuous effort they were
torn from his body, and he was left in perfect
