FIGHTs AND DISTURBANCES. - Saturday
night and Sunday brought out the usual dis
play of pueilism and brutality. Cases of
drunkenness were numerous, and the arrest
book at the police office showed twenty-three
arrests AT seven O'Clock last evening, with
prospect of an increase before morning.
The first and most serious fight was on Lodi
street, on the Island" at o'clock, Saturday
afternoon. Hugh Kenney, Jr., obtained an
iron bar with which he assaulted his father in II
most brutal manner, threatening to take his
life. His brother Peter undertook to protect the
father, and general fight ensued, in which both
the young men were considerably cut and
bruised, and every article of clothing, with the
exception of their pants, torn from their per-
sons. The people in the vicinity interlered, when
the two brothers united their forces and at
tackled the crowd, both showing Il determina-
ton not to see the other molcsted by outsiders.
Both the young men were arrested and brought
to the station house. where they are held to
await the action of the count this morning.
Yesterday afternoon woman came into the
station house from Winter street court, and
complained that her husband had struck her in
the head with an axe. She had little child in
her arms and both were covered with blood
which came from a large cut in the woman'S
head. Officers were sent down and arrested the
man, who gave his name as John Collins. A
search of his person brought forth two pieces
of stone, they being all he had about him, while
he denied having struck any one with an axe.
Saturday afternoon man entered complaint

from SOmeryille, Natick, Sudbury, Saxonyille,

year among those composing the meet

"places which once knew them" are

CAMP GROUND, Aug. II.
The dwellers in tents on this delightful en-
campmeht have been somewhat annoyed by the
frequent and powerful rains for which the
week will be remembered by the people of this
vicinity. Only three sermons have been
preached at the auditorium without Interrupt
ton. Some of the thunder storms have been
terrific. One man returned to his home in Sud-
bury, and was struck by lightning while stand
ing at the depot. At last accounts he lay at
the point of death.
UnqueStionably the meetings have been more
profitable to the societies where meetings have
been held in their tents.
There have been many things that have con-
tributed to the interest of the meetings and to
the pleasure of those who have spent the week
here. There has been fine floral display on
the stand and around the tents. The music has
been excellent, under the leadership of DR.. Tour
jee of the Conservatory of Music in Boston
The Troy praying band have done excellent re-
lgious service. They are men of remarkable
tact and power The boarding master has had
very gentlemanly walters, who have done their
utmost to please the boarders. The love feast
on Friday was a season of great interest. About
one hundred related briefly their personal re-
ligious experiences, and the choir sang twenty
five times. One of the praying band, a con
yerted professional gambler, thrilled the audi
ence with his remarkable experience.
With one voice the people speak in the high
est terms of praise of this place as remarkably
adapted to the holding of camp meeting.
Many cottages will be built next season. Thurs
day afternoon collection to aid in paying the
debt incurred in purchasing and fitting mp the
grounds was taken up, amounting to about
twenty-lour hundred dollars. The property of
the association is valued at $4,000.
The meeting closed Saturday morning in the
midst of heavy rain storm. Many have been
converted, the number we could not learn The
church has been greatly quickened, and eternit y
alone will reveal the good that has been accom-
plished. J.F.s.
