[Reported for the Heral d.
Spring Grove Camp Meeting.
THIRD DAY.



Wednesday evening, J. ". Bennett
/ of Dandy preached from the words
Work out your own salvation, for it is
God that worketh in you, both to viii
and to do of his good pleasure
There. was a good congregation, who
, listened with interest.
| Thursday (tAird day, opened with a
clear sky and balmy breezes, to the great
satisfaction OF the people in the grove
and also Of those purposing to be pres
cnt during the day.
AT 10 a. m. II. +. Austin preached
from II, Corinthians, y, 20.

of promise. .......-
At 2 p. m. Rev. w. Malcoms, presid-
ing elder of the St Adams District, Yer
mont Conference, preached an iustruc-
tive and interesting sermon from Reye-
lations ii, II,
Ia addition to the pastors reported
previously, we noticed to-day, present
on the stand, the following preachers of
the district Rcvs. Walker, of Fairha-
ven; Graham, of Burlington; Gardi-
ner, of Bristol Stevens, Of IImesburg;
Dunton, of Manchester: Davies, Of Ad-
Olson; Austin. of Monkton Mott, of
Pawlet Jacobs, of Shoreham, ard Mef-
rill, of Ripton and from the Vermont
Conference, w. d. Malcolm, of ST AL
bans district, and Grogan, of Bellows
Falls s.....-. .-..>. -. ..-.-.....
At no meeting in this grove have we
ever known 50 many of the pastors pres
ent as at this meeting-22 being counted
at one time.
The preaching is simply the earnest,
plain, practical, presentation Of the great
Gospel truths published for the salvation
of sinful men. .-l.s.
As yet we have witnessed no seeming
attempt at a manifestation of ministerial
greatness, but rather the aim to preach
Christ crucified, for the purpose of win
niHg mems souls to the faith of God
The best of harmony prevails between
the preachers and the people. Behold
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" ...-
The tents are being filed up with wor-
shippers waiting on the Lord. The con-
gregations are unusually large for this
stage of the meeting. IL.
The order is as quiet and perfect as
the most fastidious propriety could ask;
no smoking within the circle, no talking
or wilfal walking about during the ser
vices at the stand-while over all a. good
religious spirit of reverence and thought
fitness seems to prevail.
So far the friends of the meeting pro-
nopnce it highly satisfactory and a sue
cess. .srst ~ t.. n.
Thursday, following the afternoon. ser
mon, spirited meetings for praise and.
prayer were in progress in the several
tents, and were a pleasure and religious 4
profit to those participating in them.
Some are inquiring what they s.shall do
to be saved, " while the church, congre-
gated from the different charges in the.
district, is being quiekened and spiritu-

extensive religious reviyals follow in the
home churches, ripening into rich fruit
as the result of these annual gatherings !

1t gives as pleasure to note the evil
dences Of growth and prosperity in our
midst. In this age of progress we are
happy to know that Vermont is moving
with the rest of the world We do not
build up towns and cities in a day, as it
is said is done in some sections Of the
country, yet we are moving slowly,
steadily, surely. Several towns in Rut-
land county, in the last decade, added
considerably to their population and
largely to their business. The HERALD
has heretofore shown the recent increase
of business in Rutland, Brandon, and
several towns in the western part of the
county, and intends to keep look out
for and to encourage enterprise and i'm

a SINGULAR DREAM ACCOUNTED
FOR
From the Washington Chronicle.

From the Washington Chronicle.
About ten months ago we published an
account of what appeared to be very re-
markable fultiiment of a dream. In bust
ness letter, dated March 25, 1872, received
by Hon. Horatio King from Mr.. j. G..
Clymore, of Vienna, ILL.,, occurred the fol-
lowing words:
81 feel distressed this morning by reason
OF something uncommon. have dreamed
for four successive nights of being muir
dered. 1 have very little confidence in
dreams, but this is so singular"
Almost simultaneously with the reception
of this letter appeared a telegraphic para
graph in one Of our city papers announcing
that one 81. G. Clymer" had been
murdered near Vienna, ILL.,, and soon after,
in response to an inquiry, Mr.. King received
a letter from a citizsn of Vienna, stating
that Clymore was missing; that his horse had
returned home riderless and wounded, and
that marks of a severe struggle were found
in the road near the spot where Clymore
had last been seen. Against this strong
circumstantial evidence that Clymore had
been foully dealt with, there came, week
or two later, the testimony of young man
named Simpson, who profsssed to have
seen the missing man at Cairo. The sus-
picion thus awakened, that the narration
of the dream, the wounding of the horse,
ETC., had b6en a ruse of Clymore's TO cover
his disappearance, has at length been con-
irmed, as appears from the following state
ment in letter just received by Mr.. King
from a gentleman residing in Wool, Pope
county, Illinois:
"John C. Clymore has returned home.
He says he will stay at home il the people
will let him stay. 1t is doubtful if the peo-
pie tvilI let him stay"

THE COLD DAY OF 1873.


The mean temperature for the month of
January, at New Haven, was 1856 degrees,
which is 20 degrees below the average
temperature of this month. The highest
temperature of the month was 1915 degrees
on the 14th; the lowest was 20 degrees be-
low zere on the 30th. The range of the
thermometer for this month was 75.6 de-
grees, which is 20 degrees more than the
usual range.
The morning of Jan. 80 was the coolest
morning recorded in New Haven with one
exception, viz: Jan. 5, 1885. At that time
the thermometer of DR.. A. S. Monson, on
Elm street, indicated "a degrees below zero;
Prof Silliman's thermometer indicated %
degrees; and Prof. C. U. Shepard's near
Canal street, indicated 26 degrees.
The only morning which can be com.
pared with the preceding was Jan. "a, 1857,
when DIR. A. S. Monson's Thermometer in
Dictated II degrees below zero; Mr.. Hawley
Olmstead's, on Chapel street, IS degrees,
and Mr.. A. n. SINNERS, Oh Hillhouse av-
enue, p degrees.
l think we are therefore warranted in as
sorting that the cold of Jan. 80, 1878, has
not been surpassed, and has only once been
equaled within the last one hundred years.
The amount Of rain and melted snow for
the past month was 5.72 inches, which is
nearly two thirds greater than the average
fall for this month, and has only once been
eoualed in period of 80 years. The
amount of snow for the last month was 13
inches, which, added to the unusual fall of
The preceding month, makes the total fall of
snow for this season much greater than the
average.

a FHSHY TALE-

The Los Angeles Express says that q
genuine mermaid is now on exhibition in
that place, having been caught in the Pa
cifc waters few weeks since and en-
bslmed by physician of San Diego. 1t is
thus described: The eyes, in large sock
cts, were pricked TO let out the water in
the embalming process. The mouth is
very broad, with twenty-eight curved and
singularly shaped teeth. The nose is q
combination OF the Roman and the snub.
The brow is heGvily in6ented with heavy
brain lobes; long and broad ears adorn the
queer looking head, and short, woolly hair
covers the head and sides of the face. The
cerebellum and Adams apple are very
prominent. The arms are long and termi-
nate in long claws, consisting offour fingers
and a thumb, with the sharpest of nails.
There are eleven ribs extending around the
body and meeting at the breast. Here the
fishy portion of the thing begins. 1t is
covered with scales, the spine having the
dorssl fin, and the fish continuing in the
usual development to the tip Of the tail.

.sTO DIE-TO Sleep

How could we bear the anguish and the strife
That vex our souls forever meath the sky,
Or how endure the carking cares of life,
Did we not know that one day we shall die?
That some day we shall find perfect rest
Far from earth's tOrments and its mad'nlng
riot;
With idle hands upon pulseless breast,
We shall lie Tapped in endless peace and quiet
Then grief EhalI come no more, nor care, nor
To call us forth to suffer or to dare;
No mooking dream shall break our rest again,
Telling Of joy, to rouse us to despair.
No fear of coming loss shall smite us sore,
Making clasp dear forms in wild dismay;
The dead alone need never fear death more
Only from them he steaieth naught away.
There is one door through which Grief cannot
And care must crave admittance there in vain;
There is no space within that narrow home
For the grim forms Of Misery or Pain.
Sleep dwelleth there, and peace, and perfect
And silence sweeter than the song of bird;
The widest wall from mourning lips e'er
Dies on the threshold, nor within is heard.
Zen Love must pause without, and can but
Pale blossoms with the worlds one sweetness
fraught- ..-
Alasi less mortal in their whitening,
The fragile garlands than the love that
brought.
A gift God giveth his beloved-sleep,
Unvexe6 by dreams, uncursed by sudden wax
ingl
How soft your shadow DER our lids shall creep,
Der burning brain and heart well nigh to
breaking!
We can live on, and suffer, and endure,
Still saying softly, when Despair is nigh
"The way is weary, but the rest is sure
Bear up, o heart for one day we shall de-"

NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN SUNDAY FEBRUARY o. 1878


Mhieh-sadly do write tive Of the pres
ent age are not to know except IS matters
Of history.
That American women have not been
taught "wit in six lessons"--as they do in
France-that they have not made an art of
conyersation--have not held those brilliant
lotteries whose witty scintillations have
gone forth to astonish the world, is owing
to the fact that American society came in
just as that fashion was going out. But
that there have been many "queens" of
our society no one can doubt, the sway of
beauty and fashion being essentially loyal.
The wife Of John Adams, our second
President, spent her early years in England
and France, and as Mr.. Adams wife grace:
fully performed her part in the higher cir
cles of social and political life both before
and after her husband became President.
Mrs. Hancock, wife of John Hancock,
Governor of Massachusetts, and afterward
President of the first Congress, was &C
knowledged to possess wonderful beauty.
She was thoroughly high-brel, bad courtly
manner and fine conversational powers.
She was for years considered one of the
"wonders Of the age" and was visited until
the close of her life by distinguished per-
sons from foreign countries, as well as of
her own.
Mrs. j. ]. Roosevelt was a leader of go
eiety In New York for long time. She
had had the advantage of the best society
abroad when quite young lady, and was
married in Paris in 1881, in the presence
of many distinguished friends, among them
Gen. Lafayette, who gave the bride away.
In later days Mrs. Jesse Fremont was
our most noted conversationalist. Her
esrly experience with her father in Wash
iDgton society, her extensive travels with
her husband over every part Of her own
country, and her great natural talents and
vivid imagination make her conversation
particularly spirited and brilliant. Hertalk
always sparkles with lively wit and pictur-
esque illustration, and appears wholly un-
studied.
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis was the ''noblest
Roman of them all" Her conspicuous and
unfagging patriotism during the rebellion
made her name more pleasantly familiar to
us than Of any other living woman. 1t
was many years ago that she established
those delightful little tea and cake Saturday
morning receptions and Thursday evening
soirees at her house in Boston. Many noted
people-dear to us through their works
were proud to call Mrs. Otis their friend,
and to enjoy the quiet, elegant Inequalities
of her modest little house on the corner of
Joy and Mount Vernon streets.

The New York Life Insurance Conn.,
nanK

The New York Life, one of the largest
life insurance companies of the country,
has just issued its annual statement for
1872, which well deserves examination.
Lac return shows a gratifying increase in
business upon 1871, the receipts from pre-
nfiums and annuities being S6,30S, 800,
against S., III, 2SS the year previous. The
gross income for the year amounts to S.
205, 154 and the disbursements to $780,
311, including 81, 40S, $40 for death losses
and $907, 1892 for commissions, taxes, and
expenses of management. The assets of
the company amount to S21, 667, 1928, of
which $19, AIS, 9l6 is appropriated for REIN
surance on existing policies and $l,642, ara
is declared as divisible surplus. The
company have issued during the year g.
90 policies, covering S27,096,273 of new
insurance. These figures indicate a very
active and prosperous business, and the lib
e-al return made to the participating policy
holders shows that the company have man
aged their business with economy. Indeed,
It is one Of the peculiar advantages of large
companies, that their expenses being light
as compared with the magnitude of their
operations, they are able to make the larg-
est returns, in the way of dividends, 70 their
policy-holders.
