The National Camp Meeting.
Ninth Days Proceedings.

The attendance at Old Orchard camp-meet-
ing yesterday was naturally diminished by the
unfavorable weather. still there were large
audiences present at the services during the
day. Occasionally delusive CLEAN in the sky
would persuade people that the clouds were
about to break away. Somehow these indica-
tions manifested themselves about train time,
and in consequence nearly all the cars were
well filed.
Wandering through the woods and spraw-
ling under trees was of course NOT much in
dulged in; but people strolled down to the
beach and watched the black waves heap
themselves up upon the beach, The air was
chilly, and the feeling of discomfort soon got
the better of the love of the picturesque, and
wanderers were glad to hasten TO the grounds
and buddle together in the tent.
The eight o'clock prayer meeting was pro-
loDged nearly two hours, and was participated
in by many people, whose supplications and
groans evinced their great distress of SOUL
Many gave in their testimony to the truth and
comfortableness of the doctrine of holiness the
women irdulging in their usual accompani
ment of sobs and tears. as though the subject
was painful one. The Rev. Mr.. Inskip then
entered upon rather metaphysical discussion
of temptation, assuring his doubling hearers
that susceptibility to temptation was no proof
of lack of holiness for Christ himself, the Holy
One, was tempted. The proof of holiness is in
the resisting of temptation. We are, said the
reverend gentlemen, much more susceptible to
temptation when suffering from great bodily
WEAKNESS. Hunger is great tempter, provo
catiye of much yexation and wrath To an in
quiring sister, who seemed to fear that she had
XaDthippean inclinatons, he!said that we ear
never be SO perfect that we cannot scold if we
want to, but with the help of Christ we can re-
sist the inclination. The meeting closed Inv
the singing with muf1led voices of the beautiful
hymn, "G.ory to the Lamb.
The morning preaching service was pIefaced
by the reading of many requests for prayer.
Most of these were from mothers beseeching
Christian petitions for unbeleving sons The
sermon was preached by the Rev. William Nc
Donald, editor of the Guide to Holiness"
rom Heb-vI l, and 3,-"Therefore leaving
the principles of the doctrine of Christ let us go

The County Convention.

The Republican County Convention held
in this city yesterday, was largely made up OF
the leading party men in Cumberland. Ev-
cry town was represented by delegates, in
many instances, chosen by very large eau
cuses. Judging from this as whole, the re-
suit of the convention should be such as to
meet the acc eptance Of a large majority Of
the Republicans of the county.
Three of the four candidates for senators,
WILLIAM GooLD of Windham, WILLIAM
w. Cross OF Bridgton and SAMUEL A. HoL-
BROOK OF Freeport, were members of the
senate of last year and their record on
all important questions involving the best in
terests of the state and particularly of this
section, will meet the approval of men
of both parties, particularly on such matters
as relate to the railroad, banking and similar
interests of the state. They certainly are
entitled 10 the hearty support of the party.
HON. FREDERICK N. Dow, now thirty
three years of age, has already served three
years as a member of the Executive Council
1t is due to him to say that he has carefully
attended to his public duties in a manner
which reflects credit upon him. An intelli-
gent young mar, with an evident prediction
for public service, ambitious to win the good
will of the people, he will spare no efforts to
represent the interests of Cumberland coun-
ty, and particularly the city of Portland, in
the Senate.
JOSEPH w. PARKER of Gorham, the nom-
inee for County Treasurer, is vouched for by
his fellow townsmen as reliable and efficient
man who will make careful custodian of
the funds of the county.
SAMUEL DNGLEY of Standish, who re-
ceived the nomination for County Commits
sioner, is young man who has served in the
army and is now the Secretary of the Coun-
ty Agricultural Society. He received the
hearty support of his section and will
doubtless be an efficient man on this i'm
portant board.
WILLIAM L. PENNELL, the present Sher-
if, was nominated by reclamation for re-
election. Mr.. Pencil is an officer of long
experience and tried honesty, and was con-
sequently entitled to denomination.
The canvass which has preceded this result
has been unusually warm, not to say bitter.
Thousands of rumors have been circulated,
which, when hunted to their source, will
prove as untrue as they are foolish 1t now
becomes the Republicans who have shown so
much zeal before the convention, to be equal
good majority.

burg, Mich. has for some time past been affiict-
ed by an epidemic of of cerebro-spinal menn-
gifts, and an investigation into the cause has
been made, from which it appears that the
prevalence of the disease is due to the presence
of some poison in the food of the people. In
connection with this matter it is stated that
experiments conducted many years ago showed
that grain affected with smut was capable of
producing violent illness, ergot of wheat prov
ing even more active than ergot of rye. The
crop of wheat raised in the vicinity CT Peters
burg last year contained much more smut than
usual, and it is possible that bad flour has been
the cause of the prevalent sickness.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more

Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury: for
it's tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
