While j. NJ. Pillsbury was splitting
wood in his shed few days since, his
AK came down suddenly upon his head,
dealing a severe blow. Mr. Daniel
Colby of st. Johnsbury, and several
others in this vicinity sympathize with
him, and all have decided not to split
wood under clothes lines any more.
The camp meeting just closed at this
place was one of the most successful ev-
er held. During almost the entire ses-
sion the weather was cool and pleasant,
and the attendance was large from the
beginning to the end. The religious in
terest was deep and strong ,-large num-
bers were converted and many back
sliders were reclaimed. The preaching
was generally good, although few minis
tiers were here from abroad. New seats
had been put up and the conveniences
for seating the congregation were good.
About $500 could be seated at once.
Very good order was maintained,
throughout the entire meeting, and the
few who sought to create diturbance were
promptly arrested and put where they
could do no harm. One Barton subject
was carried to St. Johnsbury and lodged
in the sheriff. hotel over night. He die
not like his quarters and sent for his
father to come down, "prove property, pay
charges and take away" The young
man was greatly alarmed lest the repor
should reach Barton and his reputation
should suffer-
