this week. Will do so next week.
 sharon.-Fairs and festivals are the or. der of the day. On Tuesday festival will be held for the benefit of the Womsn's Missions and on Wednesday concert takes place for the benefit of the Nj. E. Sunday school. The Episcopal fair was g success. The receipts were about one hun dred dollars. The Hall was tastefully dec orated with hanging baskets and evergreens. On the bountifully furnished refreshmeni tables were elegant vases filled with choice flowers. The fancy articles were pretty, numerous and cheap; what more could one wish? 7? Of course the ladies looked their best. Miss L.. Warehouse in particular looked picturesque in a Turkish looking costume of red and white. .......A few of the visitors are returning home to the city to roast; what else can they do such weath. er.......Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Reed are at the seaside. Those on the sick list (last week. are getting better, but there are few new ones, among them, Miss Hattie Williams. Her school is again closed. w.
 The Daily Our Camp Meeting Daily is a success thus far. The first number was printed Tuesday afternoon, giving the news from the camp grounds up to 2 O. clock in the afternoon, and was mailed to go east and south on the 8 8o'clocks sstrains, and north and west on the first trains that went in those directions in the afternoon. We have received larger subscription list than we expected, and the extras printed to be sold on the grounds have "gone off like the dew," and the editions were exhausted very soon after published. We increase the editions every day, and hope to be able to keep up with the demand. We have now gone far enough with the publishing of daily paper to convince us that pretty hard work is necessary to it's success, but we shall "buckle into it" and search out g success, if it is to be found in the project. The meetings are being very largely attend ed thus far, and there is every evidence of there being larger attendance altogether than ever before. The sermons and all the doings at the meetings are reported daily in the Camp Meeting Edition of the CONN. WESTERN NEWS.
 Twin Lakes Hotel.-The construction of hotel at Twin Lakes cannot be 8 great time longer delayed. The crowds who have encamped there this present sea son have been very much larger than ever before, the groves being dotted with their tents, and the many boats about and around the lakes being entirely insufficient to ac. commodate all who want them. Besides those who are staying there in their tents, large parties go there for the day. return ing at night. A large and suitable hotel there would be filled with first-class cus- tom from the earliest to the latest period of the season, and the matter of construct ing one there is now receiving much atten- ton. It is said that MT. Thomas Day, whose post office address is High Bridge, New Jersey, owns some land not far from the station at the lakes, and we presume an eligible site could be obtained of him at a reasonable figure. That somebody will build hotel there before long there is no question, and whoever is the first man to start will be fortunate that he does get the first start.
