| After the crowded hacks left the grounds, yes
terday morning, everything was very quiet
| About thirteen guests left the Surf House; bu
as many came on the after noon train to I'LL theil
places. Those departing were W. NJ. Edwards
| g. A. Mills and j. E. Hooper, horses and car.
riages, all OF Baltimore; and the arrivals were
| Samuel +. Kirk, Allen c. Ross, OF Baltimore
| and j. F. Tharp and w. q. Tatnall, of Whining
ton.
In our last letter we omitted to mention tia,
Rev. w. F.. England, Of the Wilmington Confer
| ence, preached a powerful sermon on Sunday
| evening, from the text: ~ have given them tn
word, and the world hath hated them, because
they are not OF the world, even as am not OF the
| world" john l7-l7. His subject was, "sancti-
| Tying truth" This discourse completed the ser
| mons OF the day, which, on the whole, are said
to be the best preached in this State for some
time past
The morning sermon, yesterday, was delivered
by Rev. A. A, Fisher, OF Lewcs, Del from these
words, "Then had the churches rest" and the
afternoon sermon was by Rev. DIR. Mourse, OF
Baltimore, from the passage "l.st your soul de-
light itself i'll fatness. which was tine sermon
productive OF much good. The last sermon OF
the season was preached by Rey. L. s. Williams
o.. Greensboro Nd, from the text, at is good
for nan that he both hope and quietly wait for
the salvation OF the Lord; )" Lamentations 3-3G
On account of Mr.. Stubs being called away in
the afternoon there WvS no formal closing of the
camp yesterday evening. and he thought that it
| amid the hustle OF departure this morning. Thus
the second annual Hchoboth camp meeting has
closed.
My readers would not think that we have left
behind US "deseited yiage," sung to only by
the cuckoo, or visited Ivy tho solitary fishing
hawk. But many are left behind to walk in our
paths. TO sing our songs and TO praise our God
Mr.. Wiley will keep the Odessa tent open until
the first Of September, where lie has rooms 10 let
aud from where hacks run constantly to the surf
aud there are II number of tents that will not be
vacated before next week The Surf House will
also be open until September where all can have
a chance to visit Rehoboth
MIR. illey has decided upon improving" aud
Will forthwith make regular hotel Of his board
my tent upon the grounds. As have stated be-
fore in my letters his tent is lOjx3J feet aud hc
now proposes to make an attachment to 1t which
will form square building, three stories high,
lO5xSJ feet, with al open Ia the center. All OF
the new part will be fitted up into elegant rooms,
lathed ard plastered, making IN oil about $50
rooms.
Mr.. Qugg proposes to erect substantial two
story tents ON the camp ground by next year,
weather boarded, with shingle roofs, which vi ii
cost about $50 each aud charge about $50 season
for them. This Is good plan If they can raise
the money. One thing they ought certainly to
have next year Is a plank walk from the grounds
TO the shore on RehUboth avenue, aud have IA
watering cart on the same avenue. Rehoboth Is
bound 10 come up gradually and DO a very tine
place.
iestc day evening we took our last ride upon
the beach aud watched the slyery rays OF the
moon playing upon the crests OF the dancing
waves, and this morning We rose early to behold
the sun Use, which sight is by far the grandest
grouping OF Ideas ever presented by God to NOR
tai man. As We walked toward the beach we
watched this and that floating cloud changing
from solierno 10 pink, and from pink to a
silvery hue. aud as We drew near "old Sol" began
to awake and arise from his resting place, COM
ing right up out OF the WATER now looking like a
streak OF fire, now having the shape OF the old
MeITtnidc, aud now the form OF "A half circle, and
now, large and full, he leaps up aud passes be-
hind thin cloud through which here and there
he peeps as If to see what was the news OF the
morning. Ii ia useless for the artist to endeayor
To represent it upon canvass or the poat to paint
1t in flaming words, for the scene speaks the Ian
guage OF God to the souls OF men, and they must
hold their peace in silent alteration
Last evening, ut the camp ground, several Ia
dies canic running in and reporting that q crazy
woman was in the woods, and selecting a large
company OF ladies ana gentlemen, marched out
to hear the last words OF an eloquent valsdictory
repeated for the benefit of a few friends.
With great reluctance this morning we bid our
friends good bye and took q hack Tor the Lewes
depot, whore We arrived in time to take the train
which bore us slowly from the scene OF pleasure
into the warm inland atmosphere away from the
cool breeze of the ocean. When we arrived at
oeotSetOWHf hhSto tnc ltcpuOilcAn convention
was 10 be held, We saw a large crowd gathered ut
the depot, more than tue halt OF whom were ne
groes. We passed on and met the excursion
train from Wilmington, bound for Georgetown.
We switched oil aud let them pass with 400 or
500 passengers, half black and half white. 1t
stopped al the depot aud We, being behind time,
went on our way ut a rapid CUTE, and the "Repub-
hcan gun" placed upon the rear car of the excur-
sion truin was fired, but, as usual, made no i'm
preston. We went so rapidly to make up the
lost time that we tried TO Imagine ourselves rid
ing down the Lehigh Valley, or upon Central
train sweeping New York fertile fields, but
| when We glanced out the window we were forci-
| bly, reminded that We were still in Sussex.
We visited several of the peach orchards of
FELTON,, which we're very iull. There were four
cars loaded there to-day with Hse's Early, and
| they will load six cars tomorrow which Is more
| than has ever been shipped FROM there any pre-
| vous year. They will not load more than halt a
| car any day this season after the Ilale's Early
are gone.
our trip, bnt by far the best saw in the whole
| extent OF our ride was At "Fouton Field" our
"Home, Sweet Home" lei +. SCOPE.
! RUNAWAY About five O'Clock, last even ug,
| a horse attached - buggy ran Off, on West
Front street, md d. she'd out towards Maryland
Avenue at rapid pace. At Jefferson street the
| buggy colded with an awning post, aud was
| badly broken, white the horse broke away from
| the shafts, aud kept on. Before proceeding much
further the animal wfs stopped aud brought
back. Beyond the broken vehicle no Injury was
| sustained, but considerable excitement was
occasioned.
