were quite numerous and varied in Cas-
Teton. In the first place came a grand
vocal and instrumental concert, on Tues
day night, by fine array of musical tai
emit, consisting of Addie Remington, Mrs.
G. A Mietzke, Mr. William Graves, MIR.
G. w. Townsend and Mr.. G.. A. Mietzke,
conductor On Wednesday was the ordi-
nation and other religious exercises at the
Liberal church. Thursday evening So
cial and fashionable promenade and hop
came off at the parlors of the Bomoseen
House. The company was highly re-
spectacle and was composed of about forty
of our best young people, with others who
are spending the season here from abroad.
Everything connected with this social
gathering passed off pleasant and happy
as heart could wish. Last of all came
French's great show of men and animals,
| called circus and caravan, and with it
came a great multitude of men, women
and children of all ages, classes and con-
ditions from all the towns round about US.
It being dry time, they raised quite a
dust. Every body, his wife and children,
were compelled to pass through Main
street, from the north, south and west,
in order to reach the grounds,--on land
owned by S. Ell. Langdon, directly east OF
the village. Nothing occurred to mar the
enjoyment of the great crowd. But little
was seen or known of runs doings. No
disturbance or confusion from that source
or any other occurred during the entire
day or evening; and the result was quite
| different from what we had reason to an
ticipate from such 8 miscellaneous mass
of humanity as was here congregated on
that day.
The largest congregation of tho sea-
son assembled at the Brick church, last
Sabbath morning, to hear that gifted
preacher, Rev. Norman Seaver, D. D., OF
Brooklyn. His sermon was plain, practi-
cal, and replete with sacred and solemn
truth, and was listened to with intense
interest from first to last. Many passages
were stirring, and thrilled the heart of
every nearer in his presence, among whom
were the Hon. George Curtis of Brooklyn,
Mr. William Holt and daughter of Siam
ford, CT, Mr.. Holmes and Miss Holmes of
Tarrytown, n. Y, Mr.. Goodrich and fam
lily OF Chicago, Ill, Mr. Tilden of Wash
ington, D. O., and E. II. Higley and wife
of Cambridge, Mass.
Besides the above named individuals
from abroad, the hotels are entertaining
guests from St. Louis, Mo, New Haven,
Ct, Norfolk, Va, Portland, Me, Bergen,
N. J., and New York city.
Rev. S. G. Matthewson, pastor of the
Advent church, and two lay delegates,
DR.. A. G. W. Smith and Mr.. Harvey Cas-
tie. represent this church at the National
Advent Camp Meeting, held at Spring
field, Mass, the present week. This
church is always represented in the per-
son of their pastor and two or three dele
gates at these annual gatherings at Spting-
field
The prospect is most fattering for a
large class of students at the approaching
term of the Seminary and Normal 1nsti-
tute, the latter commencing August 31st,
and the former September LIST 1870, being
the opening of the second academic year
under the supervision of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
c. Williams.

Pete McQuam draws with his two
horses nine thousand pounds of stone from
Hydeville to the reservoirs in this village
two and three times day. He also
hauled from Rutland, at one load, three
hundred bushels Of oats, which with the
wagon weighed more than ten thousand
pounds.
The drouth is fully as severe with us
as at any time during this season. Wells,
springs, streams and cisterns are failing.
Twenty families supply themselves from
one welton Main street, and all the wells
!, on Wall street are dry. This has not
, been experienced before for years.
