FROM TIDE-WATER.

August 80. 1870. T
EDS. GAzETTE:=The last load of oats
being safely housed, harvesting done,
the threshers. come and gone, l started
for tide-water for a little rest and recre-
alton. Since this old, new town of Mil
ford is out of the beaten track of travel
lers, send you a few of the incidents
and impressions peculiar to the locality.
Old, l say, because there are houses
h,sre that were built more than hun
dred years ago, and some streets that
look as if they belonged to people and
times long past. There are hundreds Of
fields turned out to ''rest" that will hard
" produce weeds enough to cover their
barrenness, and woods growing where
once were cultivated farms. New, be-
cause since the war, northern men are
constantly coming in, sowing clover on
the barren fields, planting fruit trees,
building snug farm houses, and infusing
new energy into the sleepy old town.
There are about the town more colored
than white people, and they are all a
good color-scarcely any lighter shades.
have had a good opportunity Of know
ing, for last Sunday l attended a negro
camp-meeting.
We arrived Just after the morning ser
mon. The dark pine woods were filled
with groups eating their dinner round
their wagons, and we could hear astrange
medly of voices at the centre. Arriving
there, there was an elevated stand for
the preachers (alI colored), with a pen
in front, perhaps 50 feet square, entered
at each end of the stand. Around this
were the seats.
four correspondent here graphically
describes the singing and subsequent
exercises, all of which must have been
very grotesque. She concludes:
This was prayer meeting. A sloOP
of 400 tons had been launched the day
before at Milford, and the hands were
taking advantage of the down tide to gel
it out of the river, where a steam tug
would take it to Philadelphia to be
rugged. We went to the bank to see il
pass. When we returned the singers
had come out of the enclosure and were
marching round among the crowd, call
ing on them to fall in and ''march tc
glory
These people have been under the fos-
tering care of the Freedman's Bureau
since the war, and now have northern
teachers and northern preachers, sup
ported by northern churches. There
are two school-houses within two mile
of the camp ground, and now have
teachers supported from the north.

For the Delaware GazetteI
CONFERENCE or UNITED BRETH-
rem.

The 36th session of the Sandusky
Conference of the United Brethren in
Christ, met on the Sth inst at Marion,
Ohio, presided over by Bishop Gloss
brenner.
This Conference IS composed of about
/ IS ministers, 65 of whom were present.
The first day was taken up in examin-
ing character and IN receiving reports
of the different fields of labor, of which
there are 81 comprising three Presiding
Elders Districts. As a result of this eX-
animation all, except three of the mem
bers sustained a good moral character.
The evenings of the session were i'm
proved by preaching, and all the pulpits
of the town were filed by the members
Of Conference. The only thing that we
regret is the small salaries paid to some
ofthese faithful men for their services but
we hope the time is not far distant when
we shall report an advance in this par
ticular.
But one member of this Conference
passed to his reward this year
Father Davis, who for 40 years timer
ated and who, fully ripe for the garner,
being full of years, has gone to enjoy
the fruits of well-spent life in the Say
ior's vineyard. A very appropriate fun
eral sermon was preached on Sab
bath evening by Bro. Biddle.
Bro. M. Bulger is the Presiding Ell
der for Marion district, and Bro. Con
der was appointed to Alum Creek Cir
cult, and Bro. ]. V. Potts to Pleasant
Valley Circuit, both these fields Of labor
are in this county.
After a session of six days, including
the Sabbath. this company of ministers
took the parting hand, and left for their
fields of labor, thus for another year to
toll preach and pray to elevate men
from their sinful ways to a higher and
nobler life in Jesus Christ Many Of
them will not meet again for the year,
and some perhaps not until we meet
above and hear the Savior say, ''Well
done, good and faithful servant. p
These Conferences are pleasant, and ev-
cry one of US felt that it was truly good
to be there. kris"

ACCIDENT. Ohio STATE S91sO1uaI
says that on Friday afternoon last. as
Mr.. Samuel Weaver, of this county. and
his family, who had been attending the
Franklin County Fair, were starting on
their way home from Columbus they
met with an unfortunats accident which
resulted in a severe injury to Mrs.
Weaver. AS Mr.. w. drove up Broad
street, he noticed a street car standing
on the track, and seeing it still, started
his team forward, thinking that he would
have plenty of time. Almost at the
same time the driver of the street car
started his horses and coming up to the
wagon the tongue of the car struck it
about the middle, upsetting it and
throwing the whole party out, and as
before stated, injuring Mrs. w. quite Sc
riously She fell upon her head and
the upper part of it was badly confused;
rendering her for a time unconscious.
We have noted several times of late
that the street car drivers and conduc-
tors are careless both as to getting on
and off of Passengers, and as to vehi-
cles which are sometimes in the way
"a little closer watch and better manage.

The COUNTY FAIR win commence on
the 9Th of Otober, that is, two weeks
from Wednesday next The Agricul-
turaI Society has built new Domestic
Hall on the site of the old one, which
will afford greatly improved facilities to
the exhibition of domestic manufactures.
This is one of the most attractive, as
well as useful departments of the Fair,
and we hope will now, with the imProv-
ed advantages afforded, receive atten-
ton commensurate with its importance.
The Society has also made other i'm
provements in the grounds which add
largely to their convenience and attrac-
tiveness.
The crops this year have been abun-
dant, and the Fair should be one of the
best ever held. With favorable wealth

MARION PREsBYrERY.-This body
as reorganized since the reunion of the
Old and New School Churches. conven-
ed at the Presbyterian church of this
place on Tuesday evening. Rev. c.
H. Perkins preached the opening ser
mon. After the sermon the Presbytery
was organized, Rev. C. H. Perkins act
ing as temporary Moderator and Rev.
Brown, of Chesterville, as permanent
Clerk. On Wednesday, A. G. Eggles-
ton, candidate for the regular minis
try, was. examined. After examination
Mr.. Eggleston preached a sermon and
was ordained. His sermon is highly
spoken Of.
Iberia was selected as the place fol
the next meeting of the Presbytery and
the second Tuesday in April, 1871,
as the time. The usual committees
were appointed.
At the evening session on Wednes
day prayer and conference meeting
was held, and the subject of increasing
the number of presbyterian ministers
was discussed in very interesting
manner.
On Thursday, Rev. H. M. Robertson
of the Franklin presbytery, presented I
resolution adopted by that presbytery
{ the day previous, to overture the SynoC
to unite the Presbyteries of Franklin anC
Marion, and asking the Marion presby
terry to unite in the overture. The Ma
ron presbytery adopted resolution t,
comply with the request and to unite il
the overture. Both presbyteries vote,
unanimously in favor of the union of tn
two bodies. The Marion presbyter
now embraces the four counties, Marion
Morrow, Union and Delaware. If th
two bodies unite, the new one will b
: twice as large as either of its compc
: nents, both in the number of minister
/, and the territory it embraces. 1t wi
comprise about forty ministers, in add
: ton to the lay representation of the re
spectiye churches. This is another en-
eouraging manifestation of the spirit {
: union in the Presbyterian church.

A Discovery The workmen en-
gagged in making an excavation at the
Sulphur Spring on Monday exhumed
a deer's antler which must have been
imbedded there at least fifty years ago.
1t was in good state Of preservation
and was secured by Prof Semans and
deposited in the University Cabinet.
This discovery indicates that the spring
was no less a favorite resort of the deers
of that time than it is of the dears of to-
