East Liyermore Camp Meeting.

Sunday the people began at very early hour
to pour into the encampment from all the re-
gion around until competent judges estimated
from 1000 to 5000 ON and about the ground.
The service opened with love feast at the
stand which lasted one hour and half, and
was season never to be forgotten. Between
two and three hundred testified to the power of
Jesus blood to cleanse from all unrighteous-
ness. "Camp-meeting" John was in his hap
piest mood, and said that he had attended 251
camp-meetings and none sweeter than this. A
peculiar JUNCTION rested upon the people. AT
10 a. m. there was preaching by Rev. J. r.
Masterman of Mercer, at two by Rev. E. T.
Adams Of Pennington. These dscourses were
excellent and were well received by the multi
tude present The chldren's meeting at the
stand at oc,Ock was intensely interesting,
large numbers of children and youths being
present At the close of the afternoon sermon
the Sacrament of the Lords Supper was ad
| ministered to some four or five hundred. com.
| prising more or less of all denominations. The
evening service was conducted by the 'praying
| band" from Keut's Hill, consisting of ten OIL
| twelve active young men, most of whom are
preparing for the ministry and give promise Of
| great usefulness to the church. During the
| evening large numbers were at the altar fo
prayers and many were converted. The meet
ings is pronounced the best ever held on tn,
| ground.

Franklin Cummings.

Advices from Brownsville Texas, bring in
telligence of the death of the Hon. Franklin
Cummings at that place on the morning of
Aug. 18th.
Judge Cummings was born in this state,
September IS, 1928, in the town of Westbrook
and received his education at Westbrook Semi
nary. When quite young he went to the state
of Maryland, and remained some years. He af-
terward returned to Maine. An affection of
the lungs induced him to move South. He re-
sided at Galveston year or two; and came to
Brownsville late in 'S47.
From that period he was identified, more OF
less, in the history of the Valley of the Lower
Rio Grande, and was a prominent actor in
many of the eventful scenes of the frontier.
He was, in 1848, assistant United States DIS
trict attorney under Judge BalliEger of Gal
weston; then postmaster at Brownsville, United
court of the state of Texas, acting collector of
customs for the port of Brazos de Santiago,
and mayor OF the city of Brownsville.
His declining health prevented his continuing
to practice at the bar, and his taking an active
part in politics for some time past. He was q
Union man during the late civil war, and was a
firm and consistent supporter of the Republi-
can party since.
Judge Cummings married in 1850. He has
an interesting family. His eldest son, Joseph
F., is Cadet at West Point Military Acade-
N.Y. His son William is at present studying in
the Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connect
lieut. of which his uncle, Rev. Joseph Cum
mings, has been President for many years.

JOHN Tyndali seems minded to lead the
hosts of science in the conflict with religion
which he declares to be imminent. In his
address before the British Association recent
ly delivered, he took occasion to proclaim his
materialstic views Of creation, and to refer
religion to the emotional nature of man, as a
thing altogether without the domain of proof
He claimed that religion has ever been op.
posed to science, and he welcomed the fina
conflict, now, he thought, close at hand.
There will be much curiosity to see how
large following Prof. Tyndall can com
mand in the illustricus Association of which
he is president.

President Grant thinks he. can do better
with his money than by investing it in a
newspaper to advocate his election to third

We trust that we have now had the last of

sip and rehashes of halfremembered and un-
clean stories.-HdrJ0rd Courdnt
There is not worse governed or managed
state in the Union than Missouri. Crime,
murder, outlawry, and the most disgusting
forms of rebellion are rampant. Life is more
unsafe than with the wild men of the plains
Two Or three men defy whole community
and make bloody murder pastime, and no
power of the Government can arrest or pun
ish them. Railroad trains are stopped by
blood thirsty barbarians and peaceable citi-
zens shot down in cold blood and no one is
brought to punishment. In many portions
OF the state there is reign of terror from De-
cember to January. And all this is under
Democratic rule, The old party holds the
relns OF power under more than midnight
darkness and with disposition to 60 back to
the dark ages.-Omahd Republican.
We are continually complaining in these
days of the increasing number of "smalP'

poverty is disgrace alike to the body and

1t is said that scores of farms off the line of
railroads in the state of Vermont have been
abandoned within the last few years. In
Windham County, alone, there are more
than $50 tenantless farmhouses. This shows

fight railroads as an institution, though of
| course they are interested in securing a fair
adjustment of freight charges.

I cannot but feel gratifed at the confidence
the Republicans of this county have placed in
me by selecting me as their candidate for the

it has been wholly unsolicited on my part.
On accepting the nomination, 1 pledge my
earnest endeavors, if elected, to faithfully rep

Though our local business depends upon
the pulsations of the great markets of the
world, we all feel intimately identified
with the material prosperity of the state at
large, which esteem it the duty and privilege
of our party to foster and promote by all hon.

Administration have prospered our state af.
fairs to such degree, that the promises Of ths
