unfortunate excursionists, at Bogus road
arrive just in time to be too late for the
train. There was the immaculate LILLY,
whose beauty was soiled by the omnipres-
ent dust, which also dimned the glory of
two KINGS, making the ladies of that prince
ly train look like wax figures that had been
handled too much. And standing there,
BRowS with dust, they seemed to be fulfill
ing the Divine decree: Dust thou art and to
dust thou shalt return" The way certain of
the party looked after the vanishing cars.
reminded us of King Boabdil, the last of
the Moors, taking his farewell view, of the
walls and towers of his beloved Grenada
The whole party recalled the Bible scene
of Pharaoh's daughter and her maids 60
ing down to the river Nile to bathe, and
finding Moses in the bulrushes, only the
party at the Bogus road needed bathing
worse than Pharaoh's daughter, and instead
of finding Moses, they found the train gone,
and they slept in Egypt.
- Gen. Rufus Putnam, father of the edi-
tor of the ChiIlicothe Advertiser, was at
tackled by band of robbers when on his
return from the circus in that city last week,
and robbed of S1O6 90. They, beat their
victim down upon the ground, and stamped
him in the breast and kicked him in the
face; Gen P was assisted to his home by a
neighbor who heard the noise. The gal
lows is the penalty such Williams should
have to pay. There is not half enough
hanging done.
There was probably more persons in
attendance at the Dewitt Camp Meeting
this year, than ever before. There was
probably not less than 10 or II. 600 persons
there ON Sunday, and we are glad to say, Sc
| far as we have been able to learn, that ex-
cellent order has prevailed and that great
interest has been manifested throughout
in the great objects of this mass religious
meeting. At this writing, Wednesday, we
I have not learned when the meeting will
close, but presume it will be on Thursday
of this week.
I Contrary to appearances two weeks ago
the corn-fields look at this time as though
we were to have light crop. The weather
has continued too dry, and portion of thu
time too cold for corn to grow. On the
clay lands the corn stocks are unusually
short, and it is hardly worth while to calcu
late upon half of the usual crop on thos'
| lands.
= Our local columns made sad mistake
last week, in stating that there would b'
no meetings at any of the churches in tow
on Sabbath last. 1t was Communion da,
at the Presbyterian church. and how the 10
Zeal got the impression that there would b.
no services in any of the churches we d

pardon us for this mistake. Truly
Christian spirit would lead to that result
