 West Cornwall. I've are glad to learn that Matte Long has so far recovered from her long and serious lameness as to be able to walk without the aid of cane or crutches- She had white swelling on her knee, with which she has suffered extreme ly for more than year, and the physicians in the vicinity had given up it's cure, and advised amputation, as the knee was badl y diseased and had discharged numerous pieces of bones, and her leg was drawn up till it resembled triangle, and seemed past all hopes of ever becoming sound or straight, but through the advice and aid of friends, the services of Robert Taylor, M. D., of New York city .swere procured, and he has made three visits only, and without the use of drop of medicine, has render ed her such aid that she is able to walk, and her leg is nearly straight. Dr. Taylor put her leg into machine called an "exten. sion" or something of the kind for a few
 weeks, and when the leg was sufficiently strengthened, a ''steel extension" was put
 on whereby she walks with perfect ease,
 and permanent cure seems to be cer-
 tainty, and as MT. Long was man of very
 moderate means Dr. Taylor did not charge
 anything more than his fare to and from
 New York, which was certainly noble
 deed on his part, as he has a very lucrative practice in New York where he makes de-
 formities, hip complaints, fever sores
 spinal difficulties and surgery specially.
 We understand that he studied with Dr.
 Sayre, one of the most eminent physicians
 in the city, and has recommendations no
 only from Dr. Sayre, but from several ot
 the most eminent physicians in the city.
 is needless to say that the parents and ,nu
 merous friends of Mattie feel truly gratefu
 for the aid she has received, and hope ant
 trust the cure will prove permanent. Per
 haps it is not saying too much to state tha
 Mattie possesses bright, active mind, an(
 was one of the best Sunday school scholar
 in this place, and has been missed from
 Sunday school and Sunday school associa
 tions more than any other child in th'
 place. We hope to see her soon able t'
 take her place and part again in both
 places. The doctor will make her anothe
 visit in the course of three or four weeks
 when we hope to be able to announce he
 full recovery. GALVESTON.
 Camp Meeting Expenses. .-EDrrol NEws:- It seems h4t more or less of dis approval is abroad relative to the admission fee for teams to the grounds of Pine Grove We also learn that the impression prevail that the camp meeting association is mak
 ing money by their operations.
 To show the fallacy of this impression we propose to submit to the public fev facts.
 Several years ago it became apparent l.
 those concerned, that less expense and ia
 better accomm odations could be secured b purchasing, holding, and fitting the ground
 for permanent use. A stock associatio
 was therefore formed, the land purchased : suitable buildings erected, which, togethe = with other necessary improvements an fixtures have cost nearly $5,OO0.OO.
 l, To meet thls cost with interest accruins Q lots have been sold, which, together wit r a small annual percentage contributed b f the Housatonlc R. R. Co.,, and the rentt e of boarding house and cottages built by tn 0 association have reduced the amount abor b one-half, leaving the association after sev e en years of effort heavily in debt.
 - The amounts above named are solely II lied upon for it's liquidation.
 l. Aside from the above demands upon us, al t the annual expenses of the camp meetin a proper, amounting to between three an y four hundred dollars. These expenses il n clude advertising. seating and refitting tt | grounds, preachers board Gin part,) light s straw, watchmen, police and sundry oth. v incdentals.
 y No member of the association receives e salary or any compensation for service IT rendered. No income from the grounds D other sources connected with the encaml = ment, accrues to the association or men is bers thereof. The grounds are held solel B. for camp meeting purposes for all time IS and all incomes aside from the current ez o penses are to be applied for payment ( }. debt and improvements of grounds.
 e It must therefore be evident to all tn 1T no money is made or can be made by tt
