DTHE FREE Camp Meeting in
FeidtcGre.-The Susquehauna conference Of the
rec Methodists. which includes New Jersey,
are now holding their first camp-meeting in a
beautiful grove situated about two miles and a
half rom Dover, Delaware. Their reasons for
choosing that neighbOrhood are because OF the
comparative strength Of the denomination in
Dover and vicinity as compared with other
places in the conference. For three wears the
movement has been growing in Dover, caused
by certain members OF the Methodist Church
leaving that body on account, az they saw OF
the worldliness, folly and fashion of the present
church. The new Methodist claim 70 be reform
ers, dress in plain garments and eschew all
forms OF fashion. They have established neat
little church in Dover, which is well filled every
Sunday.-N. i. Post

EfoPED AND MARRIED A GENTLE The
Salt Lake City Mining Journal of the Sd inst.
says: On Wednesday last W. Barnes a young
gentleman well known in this city, was made
happy by being joined in the holy bonds Of
wedlock with Miss Geergiana Smith, daughter
of Job Smith, Of this city, under peculiar cir
cumstances. MT. Barnes has wooei Miss Geor-
gle for some time past, and proposed marriage
10 the dem0issHe, and was accepted, but the
stern male PARENT filed his objections on the
ground that the sutton was not a member OF the
Church Of the Latter-cay Saints. 1t appears
the mother of the young lady was perfectly will
ing, and so Mr.. Barnes whispered into Miss
Georges ear that an elopement was the only
way TO overcome this obstacle, and they pro-
ceeded TO the residence OF Rev. Mr.. Jameson,
the Methodist clergyman, where the hymeneal
knot was tied. We understand the IA her is be-
coming somewhat subdued since the event.
