GLEN COVE, l.. l., Sept. Q. 1871.
1t Is now three years since a camp meeting has
been held at near this beautiful and secluded
spot. Half century ago, and all along the years
following such meetings were held very regularly
In grove a little south of the present SITE and
near where steamboat dock has been built. The
camp stands on q nigh bun overlooking part
of the 'C0ve' ana is about three quarters of mile
south Of the village, and about two and quarter
miles from the steamboat landing and one and a
quarter from the South Side Railroad branch depot
The grove is composed chiefly OF young trees but so
| thickly studded as very efiectualiy TO snaoe
SUMS rays from the grounds. few years ago an
effort made to form an association and TO pur-
cnase 100 acres or woOu land and forty or more or
clear land incuding the present camp ste) from its
/ owner, Mr.. James CARPENTER who lives near by, and

vile, but the negotiations fell through because
he wanted $500 an acre, which the asso-
citation were not willing to pay. They had hitherto
rented the camp grounds from this gentleman, but
this year he has given them the use OF the grove
free and fitted 1t up at his own expense and nego.
tiations for its purchase have been renewed, with
promise OF success. Should the ASSOCIATION be able
to get the land favorable terms is proposed to
erect number OF neat and permanent cot
tages thereon and thus invite summer residents
hither and insure the ultimate success OF the
camp meeting enterprise. There are five
religious congregations in this village Of about
1000 MISUNDERSTANDING, Methodist and Catho.
lie, which are the largest; an Eplscopaan
and Presbyterian, which latter has church edl-
fce at present, but worships IN Continental Hall,
and a Society Of Friends. The Catholic congrega-
ton consists mainly OF the employees in Duryea's
starch factory, which stands on creek a little
south OF the village. ] hear o great many
complaints against this factory as nuisance,
and at certain hours of the day, when the tide
Is low, the odor thereirom is very ofen-

mic in Leechs grove, from which $1,000 were
realized. The COLLECTIONS at this camp services
| thus far, have not reached 500, and the
! other receipts also are small. Last evening the
Rev. Mir. Bowditcn pastor OF the Methodist EpiscO-
pal church in this place. referring TO the smallness
OF the collections. remarked, In the language OF
Aunt Dinah, that though salvation free it cost
