There has been great fall in prices
in England, since last fall. A com
parison of prices the first of October,
1874, with those of October, 1, 1873,
shows the following reductions per
centum: Wheat. q per cent; coal,
2S; Scotch pig non, 81; copper, Z;
tin, %; cotton, 10; wool, 81. These
prices have been followed by cor
responding decline in our own mar
kets, until it is supposed the lowest
point has been reached. Indeed,
under the stimulus of low prices
there has been increased buying, un-
til the decline has not only been ar
rested, but there has been slight
reaction, and prices are rising.

Editors of the Register
The Mcthodists have Just been holding
an interesting camp meeting at tn" Bell

closed this morning. During the first
few days of the meeting all was quiet
few persons visiting the ground. and lit,
tie religious excitement. But Saturday
Sunday and Monday were the great
days" On Sunday the heat was intcn.,
and the large crowd must have suffered
Various persons, all assuming to be- com,
pctcnt Judges, have given estimate,
of tho number Of persons present
They vary from 5000 TO 10000; but
we do not think there were more than
1000 The people and their conyeyan-
ccs being scattered over large tract OF
land they madca much greater show
than they were in reality.
Some persons have been saying that
shouting is on the wanc; but Monday
night disproyed that statement. There
was "A great deal of excitement, much be-
ing among the children. Tuesday night
being the last, the meeting was kept up
until late hour. After the sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Rogers, Of Bcllairc. We believe,
many cxhOrtions and prayer, were offer
ed. Among the preachers We noticed
the veteran, Father Hudson. his son.

1t is well worth trip TO see
the beautiful grounds The tents are
comfortablc dwellings, and their owners
spare no pains to make them quit" de-
sirablc Almost AL have neat porch"s:
are well furnished and tolcrably rV"ny.
The accommodations at the boarding tent
are excellent; the DINING room Is capa-
bic Of seating eighty persons at time.
Good order was preserved throughout the
meeting, none Of tn" usual annoying dis
turbanccs having occurred. Tn" poopI"
seemed, for the mot part, earnest and
orderly.
A collection was taken up on Sunday,
for the purpose Of bearing the expense.
About six hundred dollars was raised.
There was a livery stable and barber
shop on the grounds, so you see every
thing was quite convenient except the
water, which gave out on the second day.
Altogether the meeting was far super
Tor to the ones formerly held at Castle
mans Run, and the Methodist NAV well
be gratitied at their succe.. in every way.
