lselections from THE DAILY NHwsJ


 Housatonic.-Therei is good representa- tion from thls place. and the tents compa- ny has, it is believed, received a special blessing. Some of the company have al ready retired to their homes and others have come in and filed their places; and al- together this camp meetings privilege has been one of spiritual power ard profit to this company. And their prayer is for a disposition to go home with the fire and let back-sliders warm themselves by 1t, and kindle new fires upon the hearts of others.
 A.
 A Good Idea.-A young man, stran to us but the possessor of genial counte- nance, placed h our hands yesterday after noon correspondence from the Housaton- ic tent on the grounds. It will be found in to-daY's paper. The idea is good one, and one we may attempt to adopt next year. Of course all the friends of those who will attend next year will be subscri bers to and readers of the DAILY WESTERN NEWS, which, If life and health is spared us and we are permitted to do SO, we shall publish. and shall, with the knowledge ob- tained from this first years experience, work hard to make better than we are..now making; we say that the home friends will of course be subscribers to the DAILYNEws, and will want to know how it goes with the folks on the camp grounds, and communi cations from these tents will be of great in terest to them. We shall endeavor to re- member this feature for our next years camp meeting edition of the CONN. WEST ERN NEWS.
 Final.--It is unnecessary to allude to the fact that this number is the last of the camp DAILY NEWS for this year, and though it may be forever, yet it is natural to look ahead into the future and make plans. Thus it is with us now. We looK even SO soon forward to another year, bringing with it another Daily News, aud we wish to ask all our readers to bear us in miud, and where it is possible, subscribe for the entire time of the meetings, instead of de- pending upon an opportunity to purchase of the newsboys:-But we must say Good bye for this year. Our little DAILY has given us some hard work, not little pleas ure, and we hope some profit. Our read CTS, or at least some of them, have ex- pressed themselves pleased with our effort, and should our cash account when footed. show no balance to the credit side, we shall not feel that we have no reward; and if, as has been said, our little paper has been welcomed; has met the expectations of It's friends, we feel it but just to state that DO small amount of credit should be extended to our faithful reporter, Miss Katie Lent, who has assisted us on the sermons. Miss Lent has done her work well; to our entire satisfaction, and she has rot only our grati- tude, but that of all our readers.
 The Rev. Hoyt's Hospitality.-The Rev. MT. Hoyt of Stamford, who owns one of the pleasantest cottages on the grounds, has purchased an extension of his lot south- ward, which takes in the ledge immediately in the rear of his cottage. On this ledge of rocks, and which is one of Natures choic- est efforts at rusticity, he has caused to be erected picnic table, surrounded by sulta- ble seats, and provided with all the necessa. ry conveniences for an open air lunch. Yesterday afternoon the Hon. M. T. Gran ger of this village, who was spending an afternoon ou the grounds with his family and some friends, was invited by MT, Hoyt to enjoy the hospitality of his cottage, but as the Judge had brought with him bas- ket of lunch. be was besought by MT. H to repair to hls picnic ground on the ledge and there refresh themselves, and his Hon. or ard family, with the following named ladies and gentlemen, the Misses Ella and Hattie Noble of New Milford, Miss Minnie Henry of Morrlsania, N.Y Y, and Messrs. F Henry, c. Dusenberry, c. A. Hodgman and A. G. Seaman of Tuckahoe, N. Y., climbed the ascent and enjoyed not only the pleasantly arranged grounds, but the genial company of the Rev. Hoyt and fam fly, who insisted upon sending up from their own table, tea, ice water and other little delicacies not convenient to transport in a lunch basket, all of which was duly appreciated by our honored fellow citizen.
