Seventh Day Adveniists.

RICHMOND, Aug. %, 1871
This morning few clouds stud the sky and
| the air is somewhat damp. 1t is hoped that
the meetings will not be interrupted by storms
or turbulent weather. The work of adornlng
the grounds is rapidly progressing and tents are
| still being pitched, for each train brings new
| arrivals. Some families have come about two
| hundred miles with their teams to attend this
meeting.
The speakers stand presents beautiful APP
pearance. The front and sides are pure white
and tastefully ornamented with green oak leaf
trimming, interspersed with now and then a
bright autumn leaf. The effect prodaced by
intermingliDg the three colors i, very pleasing
Two large charts hang facing the audience, one
being pictorial representation of the visions
of Daniel and john, and the other copy of
Gods Law. Over the prophetic chart is the ap'
propriate motto Search the Sculptures and
over the Decalogue is the verse, "If ye love me,
keep my commandments. Below these is the
motto, "Behold, come quickly" On each
side of the platform are handsome rustic vases
filled with ferns, evergreens and flowers. The
top of the stand will be decorated with lovely
wreaths and bouquets Of fresh flowers At the
entrance of the grounds is the notice of the
meeting ard the motto CLEAR, then judge"
Many of the tents have upon them the owners
name and are beautifully trimmed, and the
grounds in front adorned with rural designs,
etc.
AS we look over the encampment our mind
goes back to the 'days of old" when Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob dwelt in their tents and
under the green trees, and beneath the blue sky
worshipped their Creator. We fancy the white
tents cleaning through the trees are the camps
of the ancient Israelites. We are startled from
our reverie by the ringing of bell as the signal
for family worship in the tents.
The fist ses sion of the Maine Conference
was held in the grove at 10 o'clock. Meeting
opened in the usual manner, by singing and
prayer. The various churches in Norridge-
wock, Deering, Hartland, Cornville, Jay, Wood
stock, Brunswick, Fairfield, Cambridge. Frye
burg, Richmond, Canaan, Oakfeld and Lin
neus were represented by delegates. Commit
tees were chosen, some business matters attend
ed to, and the conference duly organized Sew;
enth Day Aventists are very systematic in re.
gard TO church matters. Each state has its con-
ference, and these are united in general con-
ference, that superintends the work in all its
various departments. The state and general
conferences have an executive committee of
three, of whom the president of the conference
is chairman. The committees act in behalf of
their respective conferences, between THAR an
nual sessions The President of the General
Conference, the highest officer in the body. FL
der James White of California, occupies that
position at present. 1t is expected that he will
attend the meetings. REPORTER.

A GOOD ScHooL.-The fall term of the
Greedy Institute at Cumberland Centre, opens
with an unusually large attendance of pupils
and under the most favorable auspices. The
reputation of Mr.. Hawkes., the principal, as an
energetic, capable and successful instructor, has
attracted to the school large number of pupils
from distance. The trustees have been very
fortunate, too, in securing the services of Miss
Maria s. Merrill as preceptress, who has just
returned from two years study of French and
German in Europe, and who is an accomplish
ed teacher in those languages as well as the
English branches, which come within her care.
Several young ladies from this city are availing
themselves of the unusually fine advantages
offered by this institution.

Tho Indian Reservation.

Several typographical errors occurred
in Gen. Carlin's letter in relation to the
extension of the Standing Rock reserva-
ton, as published a few days ago. In
stead of these reservations being intended
solely for the purpose of breaking up the
Indian traffic Gen. Carlin wrote s:exteud-
ed solely for the purpose of breaking up
the sale of whiskey and ammunition to
the Indians" Instead of speaking of the
free lands of this. section, Gen. Carlin
wrote of the fine lands along the NIissou-
ri river and the North Pacific R. R.
which would enable several hundred
thousand people to live comfortably if
they were removed from the crowded
cities Of the East to these lands.
The following is copy Of the execu-
tive order extending the reservation.

AS many know, Colonel W. S. King has
labored under great financial trouble for
two years past, and now feels that every
dollar must be given up to satisfy his
creditors, though if left undisturbed he
could save magnificent fortune out of
his estate, valued at over 100000. In
view Of his present embarrassments, and
as token of their regard, as we'll as an
acknowledgement of his service to his
state and particularly to the city of Min
neapolis in which he resides, a move
ment was quietly started in Minneapolis
last week to make him a present of a
splendid homestead. An effort was made
to keep the affair quiet and it was inten-
ded to surprise old Thaumaturgis, as he
is now called, with the testimonial on his
return to Minneapolis from visit to the
Southern part of the State, but the
newspapers got hold of the matter and
made it public.
Col. King deserves even more than
this at the hands of Minneapolis people
for no man ever labored more unselfishly
to promote the interest of the city in
which he resides than Colonel King has
labored for Minneapolis. Much of her
glory is due TO his newspaper work, much
of her prosperity to his zealin her behalf
and much of her beauty to his lavish ex-
penditure of money. Who is there that
has done as much for Minneapolis as Col.
King?
