Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1873-08-27

The CAMP-MEErlNG at Mortified continued
until Saturday morning Of last week. The
exercises on Thursday and Friday were at
tended by large numbers, estimated at from
1900 to 2000 Among the addresses were
stirring ones by Mr.. Spencer, DR.. Webster
and Mr.. Bemis. The children's meeting on
Thursday afternoon, was addressed by ladies
whose Efforts for good were excelled by none.
The children's meeting Friday was held in
the Montpelier tent, while the stand was
occupied by the Woman's Foreign Mission
airy Society, Mr.. Coke delivering the address,
which contained an instructive account of
the organization end of its objects.
The meetings on Friday were somewhat
sturbed by rain. 10 the evening the
weather was pleasant during the exercises,
but at midnight severe thunder shower
visited the camp. The storm, however, could
not dampen the ardor of the people, altho ug
| it might their bodice, and it was the occ 4sion
of calling out number Of good old Metho-
dist hymns .that would otherwise not have
been then sung.
The meeting broke up Saturday morning
having been, taken altogether, a very success
full one. The Association reported a debt of
| $3.50 at the beginning of this year S meeting,
which has been reduced to about third OF
that amount at the present time. 1t was
determined to hold the next annual meeting
during the last week of August, 1874, and
after pretty sharp discussion it was voted
| to hold it over the Sabbath.
| ENLARGING-We notice that Mr..
Bruce whe some time since purchased the
old Brick Store and lot on South Main Street,
once known as So Woods Stove Store" keeps
on making improvements, and is clustering
about him more business and tenants than
falls to the lot of new corners in general.
He is about to open a boot and shoe shop in
connection with his harness-making and car
riage-trimming establishment, and will soon
have workmen, ard be ready to receive all
orders for fine boots and custom work of all
kinds, which the good people of this burgh
may favor him with.
The VERMONT METHODIST SEMINARY opens
its Fall Term to-day, with full corps Of
instructors, and q largely increased at tend
ance. We could wish this excellent school
might enroll four hundred students upon its
lists of pupils this term. 1t could we'll in
struct the four hundred, and it ought to have
that number sent here from among the
bright and knowledge-seekiDg lads and las
sizes of this good State of Vermont.
The case of the State against iOrrin Da
lev for selling cider, which was adjourned to
last Friday was tried then, but Justice Rob-
linson reserved his decision.
A New AGRICULTURAL DEPARTURE.-There
is to be a d" Dog River VALLEY FAIR" hell
in Mortified the LIST and I'd days of Octobe
next, We are not advised as to the extern
or the prospect of this new venture, but VI
understand the towns of Mortified, Berlin
/ WilIiamstown, Brook6eld and Roxbury ar
expected to take hand in the i" little game
of getting up the finest farmers fair of th
d season. If the good farmers and their bette
$ halves of these towns cordially and hearth.
