whites are encamped within our borders, to sell
their wares; something of a nuisance, but not half

wonderful faculty of calling when the man of the

lection from them. Our wives ard little ones are

Farmers are most through haying, which is en-
couraging to the workmep. The weather mostly

We are indebted 10 Mr.. L. F. Murphy Of the
Banner Office, Of the excursonsts for the fol-
lowing additional particulars of tie sad accident
above referred to.-ED.
The barge was but few miles above Richmond
when the accident occurred. All on beard were
joyous and happy; merry shouts and pleasant
laughter were heard on every hand, when sudden
ly the alarming cry rang out that some one was
overheard. Al then confuson-joy was
turned to SORROW. The beats were up on the hur-
ricane deck, and it was fully fifteen minutes be-
fore orc could be lowered, in the meantime a
young cooled man, named William Lewis, who
lives nearly opposite the place, was passing bv in
hi boat and sceirg the crowd looking at some
object in the water, Immediately put towards the
spot but in his attempts to save the poor gil
Wrapped his boat, and before further aid could
reach her he had sunk from sight. Everything
poss ible was done by those on board the tug and
by the boats 10 secure the body, but to no avail
The catastrophe cast deep gloom over the entire
company.
The statements are conflicting as regards the
immediate cause of the accident some stating
that the rail was insecure Gt being the movable
part at tne ganSWayJ, anu IL Is also ciaieu theIe
was no undue pressure by any crowd whatsoever.
Miss Doyle had just been singing with her young
friends, Nearer my God to Thee" and leaving
them requested that her seat might be retained till
she returned Going to the gangway she sat
down by young lady acquaintance, and leaned
against the rail. 1t is also reported that two men
were sitting upon the rail and thus caused the ac-
cident while it is claimed bv an eyewitness that
the rail was unfastencd, and quite certain it is that
the rail in question was lost overheard The
body had not been recovered al last accounts.

The Old Orchard Campmeeting.

The National Methodist Campmeeting at Old
Orchard is now in progress A correspondent, at
tending the meeting there, writes us that cottages,
parks lanes and avenues have increased nuner-
ousy since last year. F. A. Plaisted Of Gardiner
is referred to just the person to enquire of in
regard to any information concerning the grounds.
Our correspondent continues;
Ii is thought that the unique attractive
ness OF the place will bring to the meeting large
number of distinguished ministers from other
States. We resting, emphatically leeping
and eating-and We do large amount Of all three,
especially the latter, for we have astounding APP
pelites-a bowl full here, where cup full would
suffice at home; and none of your fancy dishes,
ether but good solid substantial beef bread, etc
And we are not afraid to eat, for Dr. Torsey's tent
is just above, and he has formidable array of
bottles, but not patient yet, except himself and
our good old Watchdog Guess" Speculation
has not ceased here but fabulous prices ask
ed aud paid for lots 20x30, and to the detriment
ofihe ASSOCIATION too, in my opinion. There needs
to be little more of spirit for the temporal veal
of the public, we'll as their spiritual. Ministers
should not speculate in lands anything else. If
the object OF this camp meeting association is to do
good to poor sinful men, they must change their
course in some particulars, and not give everyone
reason to suppose that the omnipotent dollar en-
crossed the chief part of their affections
