A CURIOUS CAsE.--In 1870 Herbert V.
Graves entered into the business of fruit
distiler in Hanover county, and as was re-
quired by law. gave bond for the faithful
performance of his duty as such distiller.
Lately suit was commenced on the
said bond in the United States Court for
irregularities and DEFICIENCIES on the part of
said Graves as such dstiller. To-day q
warrant was issued by United States Com
missioner Peasants on the complaint of
one of the alleged suretes on the above
bond, charging the said Graves with hav-
ing forged the names of all the sureties and
witnesses to the SAID bond. Mr.. Graves
will be called on to explain how the
names of these parties came to appear on
the said bond, as they claim they never
placed them there.
The sureties on the bond are Messrs.
Richard A. Woody and William Thomas
Cogbill. The witnesses whose names are
subscribed to the bond are Messrs. Will
liam 7. Dickinson, Marcellus T. Dickinson,
Bernard B. Graves, and Mrs. E. @. Toler.

The National Camp Meeting.
Sixth Bays Proceedings.

The sixth day of the religious encampment
at Old Orchard showed an increased interest
and attendance over last week, Many remain
ed over Sunday and were present at the Mon
day morning service, while many more came in
on the trains. The day was all that could be
desired, the scorching rays Of the sun being
tempered by the cool breezes which swept up
over the sands from the sea. 1t was pleasant
as we'll as edfying to sit in the great auditor-
UNI under the shetering shade of the trees and
listen to the eminent pulpit orators who de
clared the word of God.
The usual morning prayer meetings were
held. The attendance was large and the inter-
est great. The preaching service at 10 30 found
two thirds of the seats in the auditorium filled
by interested spectators. The services began
with the singing of the hymn "Nearer my God,
to Thee" The Rev. Mr.. Inskip then made re-
marks concerning the season Of silent prayer,
claiming that the best way to convert a person
is to leave him to himself and Jesus. 1t is
well to get out of the ruts of routine worship
and commune with God as the heart prompts.
In conclusion, he spoke warmly of the meeting
of yesterday and its results, and said he desired
no better heaven than that for him. Deut. vi
was then read.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Alex
ander Mclean of New York, who took for his
text Matt. xxi, IS, 81, IS, 80, 40, "Master,
which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart" &c. The theme
of the discourse was the Divine love, the re-
sponsive love which it should call forth in the
human heart, and consequently the love of man
to his fellow creature. The preacher pictured
in burning words the all-enbracng love of the
Heavenly Father, and the blessed state Of those
who opened their hearts to receive it. If we
only love God we shall love our children, our

There was a pleasant rustic of expectation as
the Rev. G. b. Pltblado of the Congress Street
church, Portland, stepped to the desk and an
nounced as his text Peter 10, with the pre-
cious blood of Jesus Christi In beginning
his discourse he announced that he should not
attempt to preach logical sermon, though he
came from country where boys and girls were
born theologans. Theology is barren subject,
and he preferred to appeal to the heart. The
blood of Christ is precious because it cleanse
the heart of all sin. Humanity is begrimmed
with the smoke OF hell. All the rain that ever
fell upon the dusky forests of ages, all the
springs that ever dubbed, all the streams that
ever ran can never cleanse the human soul of a
single stain. Only the blood Of the Lamb can
do that, for it reaches down to the very root
lets OF sin. This theme was dwelt upon at
some length. The discourse abounded in that
quaint imagery, those odd terms of expression
and that peculiar and exuberant rhetoric for
which the reverend gentleman is noted. The
sermon was followed By refreshing season of
| prayer.
| AT 6p m. minister's meeting was held in
| the tabernacle. A great number of the minis
tiers present gave interesting accounts of their
experience in attaining to complete sanctifica-
ton. Some had been broaght up in other
churches, some had been educated in the be-
lief that the doctrine of holiness was false, but
| all had, often though much darkness and tribu-
| lation, been brought to knowledge and ac-
ceptance of the truth. The meeting was large
| ly attended, and the interest was good.
| The evening discourse was preached by the
Rev. MIR. Sweetsr of the New England Confer
| ence. He took his text from Acts 1912.
"Neither is there salvation in any other: fol-
| there is none other name under heaven given
| among men, whereby we must be saved" The
discourse was an earnest plea against the pre-
vailiug forms of unbelief, and for turning of
| the soul to Christ.
