Camp meeting for the Burling ton
district. M. E. Church, is to commence
August 22d, on the grounds in New
Haven on the line Of the railroad, owned
by the Camp Meeting Association. The
meeting will be holden eight days. The
time is well selected, being earlier in the
season than formerly, ana before the
nights get cold and danger Of fall rains
to interrupt the pleasure and profit of
these annual gatherings of the church.
1t is sincerely hoped that much good may
be accomplished from this gathering of
christians. in which all are invited to take
a part. The grounds are to be we'll en-.
closed by new fence, and fitted up in
good and convenient style for the comfort
of all. Come one, come all, to this gather

NORTH CARoLINA.-The canvass in

NORTH CAROLINA.-The canvass in
North Carolina for members to the consti-
tutional convention, which is to be held
on August 3, is about to begin in good
earnest, both parties acknowledging that
the control of the State for 1872 and
many years is now at stake. Accounts
are encouraging for the Republicans.
The law for a constitutional convention
was not passed by two-thirds vote as re-
quired, and the convention would not be
legal body, but the Republicans are in
hopes to defeat it in the shortest and most
thorough way by electing delegates
enough to break it up without action. If
the Democrats succeed in forming the
convention the general government may
be called on to decide between the two
rival State governments, as in the Dorr
war case the Supreme Court decided was
legitimate executive power, when ap-
pealed to for such decision. The princi-
pal objects the Democrats now acknow-
ledge they have in view are to remodel
the Judiciary system, abolish the town
ship system and take some action on the
state-debt.

These cars between st. Adams and

The frat memorial hall yet completed

skill, patriotism and devotion of the men
who planned and executed the noble
enterprise We find a fine description OF
it in the Lewiston Journal, from the

with a few additions of being present

1t is the first Memorial Building COM
pleted in the country. Many others have
been prof cted but this alone stands forth
the finished monument and tablet, to
those patriotic, sacred memories which
came back to all our institutions of learn
ing after the smoke Of the battle had
cleared away in 1866 to tell them that
their sons had fallen and that their names
deserved an imperishable record. This
ediice serves other purposes than that OF
commemorative. The east wing is occu

with alcoves, shelves and galleries, in a
style and convenience of arrangem ent that
are nowhere surpassed.

cut in relief out of the solid rock near
Luoerne to commemorate the gallant
Swiss guards who fell in defending the
TuilIeries in 1899. The grand or eature
has sunk down pierced by a spear, part
of which is left in his body, apparently
producing the agony that thunders from
his open mouth. Though expiring, his
his monstrous claws are driven into the
shield which he firmly holds, with its
stripes and stars, representing faithful

THE MILK BUsINEss.-The success of
the milk business over the Harlem Ex-
tension Railroad is very encouraging.
From July 1st, to July 18th, there were
2,137 cans of milk transported, and of
this number only so cans proved to be
sour. Twenty-four diaries sent 1,045
cans, all sweet; nineteen dairies sent S1S
cans, of which 40 were sour; six dairies
sent 274 cans of which SO were sour.
From these statistics it will be seen that
nearly all the sour milk came from six
diaries, which shows that it was occa.
stoned by carelessness in preparing the
milk for shipment.

ANECDOTES During the year 1860
Colorado had no regular government.
The miners enacted code of laws, and
established a tribune known as the
Miners Court" which took cognizance
of all cases, civil, criminal, and of probate.
DIR. G. r. Bissell, Connecticut Yankee
from BridgepOrt), was elected judge of
Gregory District, which then comprised
almost the entire mining community
The courts were held in large cabin,
where Sheriff J. W. Keller kept store.
Upon one occasion case was pending in
which some Georgians and Irishmen were
interested Ito the number of twenty on
each side, relating to some claims which
had been Jumped" by the latter. The
jury rendered verdict in favor of the
Jumpers" A quarrel instantly ensued,
the Georgians drawing their knives and
pistols, and the Irish Selling some pick
handles which were at hand. The court
called upon Sheriff Keller to restore
order. He, however, declined to inter-
fere, whereupon His Honor jumped over
the bar, doubled up his fists, and, stand
ing between the combatants, in stem
torian voice exclaimed Cd me it L
don't have order !" The scene was so in
fnitely ludicrous that laugh, commence
ing with outsiders, was soon communi-
Gated to the combatants, and fight was
10 more thought of. After this the Doc
tor became very popular, made his pile,
and, we believe, is now in Connecticut,
enjoying the fruits of his labors.

A MEMORIAL ACT.-Great prepara-
tions are making at Charlemont, Mass,
for the dedicatian of the monument which
Orlando B. Potter, a native of the place
and now a wealthy citizen of New York,
has presented to be erected over the
graves of Capt. Moses Rice, the first set
tier of the town, and young man by the
name of Arms, who were killed by the
Indians in 1855. The place of their
burial, although hitherto unmarked by
any suitable memorial, has been known,
and the committee in charge of the cele-
bration were not only able on Thursday
to identify the spot, but also found the
remains in remarkable state of preserv-
alton, especially those of young Arms.
The fatal bullet which terminated his
life, and which has remained imbeddsd
in his skull for 116 years, was also found
and dislodged from it's concealment, and
will be preserved as a precious relic
The dedication of the monument will
take place on the I'd of August, and ad-
dresses are expected from Rev. DIR. Joshua
Leavitt of the Independent and others.
The Pocumtuck valley memorial associa-
ton also propose to make field day" of
the occasion, and join with the citizens of
Charlemont in worthily celebrating the
event

The INDIANs.-Captain Bernard re-
ports, from Camp Bidwell, Northern Cali
fornia, that he has sent Lieutenant Kyle
and party of men to Fall River and
Big Valley to investigate the report of the
apprehended danger from the Indians in
these localities. Captain Bernard also
says the Indians say their agent will give
them nothing, and they are forced to hunt
for roots or starve. II this be true, when
the season is over, they may steal stock
to live on. Gen. Ord, in forwarding Cap
tain Bernard's communication, says: If
the Indians in their hunger should, as
they are likely to do, kill stock or cattle,
the ranchmen will probably retaliate by
shooting some stray and perhaps innocent
Indian, and in this way lead to difficult
ties / think, if the Indian Department
of Nevada is powerless to give food to
starving Indians, the military commanders
should be authorized to issue orders to
send food in limited quantities which
would be less expensive than having to
fight them. Every precaution will be
taken to prevent difficulty. but starving
Indians cannot be reasoned with.

DIAMOND Our DIAMoND.-Among the
visitors at Saratoga Springs is young
clergyman. He is smart and has his eyes
open. He is churchman and will make
his mark. An incident will illustrate
this. His college chum is settled in the
Baptist ministry. Our church friend
made a call on his ehum. 1t was Satur-
day, and he proposed to spend Sunday
with his old associate. He was made
welcome-but with the least bit of en-
barrassment that he did not fail to OBJ
serve. At length the Baptist brother
spoke. Il should be delighted to have
you preach for me tomorrow. But the
fact is, it is our communion. We have it
directly after our morning service. 1t
would be very awkward, you know, for
you to preach for me and then go out of
the house with the unregenerate-for by
the rules of our church you, not being
baptized, cannot commune with u.s." The
churchm IN laughed and said: 30 don't
be uneasy. [ will preach for you. But
were forty times baptized, l could not
sit down to your table-for by the rules
of our church you, you know, are not or
dained, and cannot administer the ordi-
nances at all" Aud so he preached, and
at the close went out to his dinner, while
the saints sat at their table.
