"OUR NEW Pike has created lit
tie breeze in this vicinity, and causes
i, the people TO think Flushing is bound
to be the city of Belmont County, all
of which we hope may be realized, but
in our humble opinion is one of the
many mistakes the natives of this baih-
wick have heretofore made. 1t is un-
ldoubtedly good thing for this section
of Belmont County and is an improve
ment long needed. ~

CAMP MEETING.-Last Sabbath the
writer hereof, and almost the whole of
Flashing turned out en- gaGSse to the
camp meeting then in full blast at
Burr,s Mills. The day was exceedingly
hot and there was in attendance some
tenor twelve thousand people, which
made it gloriously nice for paper collars
and linen suits. The general hue and
CRY. was, "Oh, for a lodge in some vast
ice house, where ice cream and lemon
ade doth fowl" Ice cream, lemonade
and soda water was not allowed to be
sold on the ground, consequently peo-
pie suffered for the want of some cool
ing drink. We noticed one commend
able feature of the occasion, and that
was the absence of t'benZinen and |
drunken men, we falling to see one
drunken man on the grounds. The
meeting was success both financially !
and spiritually, and we therefore vote
camp meetings good Institutions. 's

the Camp Meeting was in charge of |
four Flushing boys, consisting of
Messrs. Webster, Norton, Holiings-
WORTH and Brand denbqrg,, and right

FLIRHATInNs,- was a little
game of 1fiirtati0ns carried on 1at the
camp grounds between one of Belmont
County's beautiful young ladies and
one of FIushing's good looking married
men that caused considerable sport to
those acquainted with the parties. The
young lady was ignorant of the fact
Of the gentleman's being married, and
talked nice things in his
ear. All efforts on the part of thet
young men to entice the young lady
rom his side was unav availing, she being
.ssstruck.V We have not
heard how the gentleman escaped at |
lome, in relation to the "curtain lee
ure," or what the lady said on being 4
as to the true state of !
