CLOSE OF THE MEETING. ON TRURsDAY-A MARCH
ABOUND TIE cIRcLE-sERyIcEs IN THE TENTS
DURING THE SIdHT-sPIRIrUAL RESULTS Sat
IsFAcToRY.
The religious services Of the Brandywine
Summit Camp, Thursday consisted of a sermon
in the morning by Rev. Matthew sorin, Of Ches-
ter, and another in the afternoon, while spirited
prayer meetings in tho various company tents
filled up the intervening time. large number
of persons, during these meetings, presented
themselves for the prayers of the church, many
OF whom professed change OF heart.
The evening was devoted to short addresses
from the stand, appropriate to the closing of u
camp meeting. In these addresses Rev. Mr.,
Cramer OF Asbury led with some practical advice
to professors OF religion. He WAS followed by
Rev. Mr. Merritt with some advice to young con-
verts, and by Revs. Mr.. McsIchael and McClsry,
with general invitation to the unconverted.
After the addresses. came the general hand
shskings and parting, in which the old custom oi
marching around the circle was observed.
This interesting ceremony took place about 10
o'clock but the impending rain storm prevented
many from participating who would otherwise
have done so. The line OF march WAS headed by
the presiding elder, ministers. and some good
singers. followed by all others who felt disposed
to join in the march. Owing to tho length OF
the line, the tune of the front singers was lost
before it had proceeded far, in consequence of
WHICH, several tunes appropriate to the OCCASION
were sung at the same time.
A march twice around the circle was completed
when countermarch in front OF the stand and
general shaking Of hands terminated the exer-
cises and formally closed the Brandywine sum
init camp meeting Of 1875.
The Presiding Elder announced from the
stand the close Of the camp, but stated that re-
ligious meetings of any kind desired might be
held in the large tents. Accordingly the tents
were soon filled, and the songs Of prayer and
praise We're re-echoing through the woods, a
considerable revival having sprung up in the
ST. Paul's and Sloan tabernacles respectively.
The meeting in the st. Paul's
closed about midnight, but that in Sloan WAS
continued until sunrise this morning.
Altogether, the camp Is considered success
Notwithstanding the wet weather and the unfor-
tunate occurrence at the commencement.

paper as entirely reliable
"There is 4 rumor ahost to the effect that the
condition OF the Governors health is such that
his withdrawal from the Gubernatorial contest is

large amount of property, in which Mr.. Kcr-
nochan WAS interested, wss decided by Judge
Schley adversely to the interests of Mr.. Kerno-
chan. The decision made him very sugry. His
first vengeance fell upon his lawyers, who he
charged had not dealt fairly by him. Meantime
the judge had come North to Saratoga, and has
been forseveral days guest at the Grand Union
Hotel Mr. kemochan slso came to Saratoga,
as is now supposed, to punish the judge.
Meeting upon thepiazza, Mr. kernochan, after
a few words, struck the judge heavy bow with
his tst in the face, staggering him and scatter
ing his eyeglasses over tho pavement. The
judge soon recovered and struck u powerful
blow back, cutting kernochan's face and making
tho blood flow. Several exchanges were made
by each party, the judge having the best OF it

belligerants were separated, but soon sfterward

Tho Media American prints the following in
connection with the Kenney vanMeter affair
On Saturday morning, however, Mr.. Kenuey

accounts of the affair to be shown him. After
reading he proiessed entire ignorance of any
crime or attempt at crimo like that charged-pro-
fessed to have no knowledge or recollection OF
the affair, and expressed the hope that his church
would immediately institute u thorough investi-
CATION.
II this is done, Presiding Elder McCoombs
will appoint the Committee and supervise the
investigation. Mr. Van Meter, the father Of tho
child, is very reticent as to what he contem-
plates doing in the matter, saying that his course
would not be made known until the camp meet
ing is over. He remarked, however, that il in
vestgated by the church, he thought Elder Nc
Coombs was not suitable man to preside, III
asmuch as he had visited Rev. Dir. Kenney since
the occurrence, and had expressed an opinion.
The current stories exaggerated the injuries OF
the child for they were not permanent or severe.

We can do very well, says Faith Rochester in
the American Agriculturist, without cradles for
our babies. l don't know as my children or
myself have suffered for lack OF one. But q
baby carriage seems indispensable. Without
one, how can child too young to walk get plenty
Of outdoor life? wish that good baby car
riages were cheaper, 30 that every child might
have the use Of one.
Some of the cheap carriages are 10 heavy, 80
hard to draw or push, that it is quite task to
use them. Many OF the two-wheeled carriages
come under this condemnation,t but not
all. There is danger in the use
OF two wheeled and three-wheeled
coaches, which, avoided by the use Of a carriage
with four wheels-the danger Of tipping over
when the child leans too heavily forward tn one
side, or when one presses upon ono side OF the
handle but the four-wheeled coaches arc ex-
pensive, and careful nurse can get along well
enough with either Of the others, which is well
made in other respects.
1t should be hung 30 al to give an easy motion
to the child, and light weight to the perscn
moving it, The body should be 50 shaped that
young babe can lie straight in it easily, with
out getting bumped shoulders. II the carriage
il pushed from behind it il difficult to keep good
watch on the little one, unless the shade is ad-
Unstable like the umbrella shades, and these do
not afford the same protection from wind as the
close old-fashioned covers.

The CedArs Of Lebanon.

Tho cedars Of Lebanon, once the glory of the
earth, havo become like history of the past.
Time was when their widespread branches, each
forming green plateau one above the other,
flourished in all their luxuriance and beauty on
the far-famed mountain OF Lebanon. That WAS
the time when the monarch Of Tyre-a city then
the queen Of nations-scnt thousands OF his
workmen TO fell cedars for the construction of
the temple of Jerusalem. Those who would
view the cedars OF Lebanon now must be so,ne-
what affected by the fewness Of their number,
and their decay and desolaton. A little rem
nant is left, and the traveller gazes upon them
with feeling that has in it touch Of sadness.
Of Lebanon WAS regarded by many persons in
the light of 3 pilgrimage. Some Of the
trees were thought to have been plan
ted by King Solomon himself, and
were looked upon a. sacred relics. Indeed. the
visitors took away 30 many pieces Of wood from
the bark, OF which to make crosses and other ar
ticles, that it WAS feared the trees would be do
stroyed. The once magnificent grove is but a
apeck on the mountain side Many persons have
taken it III the distance for a wood OF iir trees
but Oh approaching nearer and taking closer
view, the trees resume somewhat of their ancient
majesty. Tho space they cover is not more than
half mile but once amidst them, the beaut-
full fan-like branches overhead, the exquisite
green Of tho younger trees, and the Colossal size
of the older ones, fill the mind with interest and
and admiration. The trees are fast disappear
ing from the face OF the earth. Each succeed
ing traveller finds them fewer in number than
his predecessor. There are now but seven OF the
cedars remaining which from their age and
experience, indicate that they had an existence

A pretty toilet like this of Mrs SsrJoris, deli

STEWARD ATTEMPTS TO srARvE A SHIPS CREW.
The schooner Harbeson Hickman Iarrived at
Brooklyn late On Tuesday night, from Neuvitas,
Cuba, with tho steward, John Evans, in irons.
The complaint against Evans, as narrated by
Capt L. ?. Shepard and his mates, is substan-
TALLY az follows;
While the vessel was in Neuvi,as, on July 8,
Evans attempted to assume an authority for
which he WAS subsequently reprimanded by the
Captain. On this occasion Evans retorted
with abusive language and the Captain
elected him by force from the
cabin. Evans walked away muttering to him
self, and after dark he took kerosene lamp
and went into the hold, intending, as he told
the mate, to set the vessel on fire. He changed
his mind, however, and planned to destroy the
provisions and water by mixing coal oil with
them, that when the vessel went to sea the
lanterns, etc, 30 that no signals could be made
at night. Having done this he told tho
Captain that he WAS going to see the American
Consul, and left the vessel. When the vessel
wss about to sail the captain ordered the crew
to make thorough inspection Of everything on
board, and tho work OF Evans was discovered
After All examination, the Consul ordered the
prisoner to be brought to New York. The prs-
oner, who has become much emacated through
AZ days close confinement, was delivered 10
United States Marshal Harlow yesterday, and
locked up.
