turned out in large numbers. The occa-
sion vas one long to be remembered.
William Arnold was
last week arrested. charged with obtain
ing money upon false pretenses and lodg-
ed in our county Jail.
Tuesday night, the 31st of August,
the building connected vith the lime
kiln works near Whiting depot, 800 cords
of wood. were entirely consumed by fire.
Loss estimated at $500. Fully insured.
Charles Piper and brother we're. last
Friday night, arrested near the camp
meeting in New Haven, charged with
selling whisky. They were arraigned
before J. w. Langdon, Egg, Justice of the
Peace, and after trial, were by the court
found guilty, and sentenced to 80 days
imprisonment in the county Jail, and pay
costs of prosecution. James NJ. slade, Jr..
conducted the prosecution in behalf Of the
State. When will men learn that DISC
bediance to law is sure to meet with
punishment We hope this will prove
salutary lesson to these law breakers, and
all others who may be induced to follow
in their footsteps. Rowdyism and rum are
closely connected. The one incites and
the other commits crime. Remove the
great cause, and the baneful effects that
flow will cease. Law and good order
must prevail Every interest of society
demands it.
In accordance with previous notice
the camp meeting was held in New
Haven on the grounds recently purchas-
ed by the "New Haven Camp Meeting
Association" last week. There were be-
tween 80 and 40 tents on the ground.
The dedicatory sermon was preached on
Tuesday morning by Rev. Mr.. Bailey OF

and listened to with marked attention
and gave great satisfaction to the crowd
Of people who heard it. In the afternoon
of the same day, Rev. Mr.. Edgerton of
Sherburne preached thrilling sermon to
n large concourse of eager and attentive
listeners, who were warm in their enco-
NUNS of praise both in respect to the
manner of delivery, and the subject of the
discourse. Its influence was exceedingly
good. On Wednesday afternoon sermon
was preached by Rev. Mr.. Hurlburt, pas
tor of the Congregational church in New
Haven. It was sound in gospel truth,
and logical delivered with great earnest
ness and power. Mr.. Hurlburt is not
only a good man but splendid preacher.
and we do not wonder that the church
over which he breaches, is an active labor
ing body of Christians. Thursday morn
ing at half past eight o'clock, love-feast
was held in front of the preachers stand,
at which in one hour, 125 gave in their
testimony for Christ. deep feeling pre-
vaded the entire congregation during the
hour. and the place seemed to be hallOwed
by the presence of the Lord of Hosts. LII
the forenoon, Immediately following the
love-feast, a sermon was preached by
Rev. Mr.. Farrar of Poultney. Mr.. F. is
young man Of deep piety, mingled with
much true christian zeal, under the con-
trolling influence of sound judgment, and
a right appreciation Of the great RESPONSE
bilities resting upon minister OF the
Lord Jesus Christ. He discoursed upon
tho text "He that wineth souls is
WISE" His sermon was marked with
deep thought, we'll delivered, and was
highly acceptable. In the afternoon,
q largo crowd of people. estimated at
three Thousand, were addressed BY Rev.
5. d. Brown, Of New York City. His
text was from Luke, ed chapter, verses
23, 33, 80 and 40. 1t was q highly argu-
sermon, good specimen OF
close, concise, logical reasoning, and pro-
duced happy effect upon all. Mr.. Brown
ranks deservedly high as one Of the ablest
ministers Of the New York conference.
His sermon on this occasion was not only
strong in thought, but was full OF deep
feeling, and delivered with much JUNCTION
and power. A deep silence prevsiied
throughout its entire delivery, while every |
