Notes from the Camp Ground.
"WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.


Rev. Z. Libbey of Pittston preached, taking
for his text Rev. 20 IL, "And saw the dead small
and great, stand before God and the books were
opened, &C."
The theme is "The General Judgment" The
natural divisions are the following l. Is there to
be day of general Judgment 2. Who is to
he the Judge. 8. Who are to be the persons
judgedi
|. That there is to be day of Judgment is
proved /. BY the fact that our convictions de-
mands it. Think of the cruelties of war; the op-
preston of the masses by tyrants of all past times
the monopolies of corporations &C. The weak
and the defenceless have been wroEged; the OPP
pressor has not been punished. Ought he not to

prosperity Of the wicked, until he saw their end.

not equal. This thought came to David's and to
Solomons mind. 4. 1t is proved by the scriptures

and also according to our influence which shall
live when we are gone. John Wesley is doing
more good and Tom Paine more harm than ever
before. This makes it solemn to i've almost infn.

sidney Locals.

In your correspondents mention of the picnic
hat met in Capt. Shermans woods-the perform
an ,es were very good; there we're some twenty
ieces spoken, mostly by children of the Sabbath
,hool of district No. in Sidney, but all of Sid
ncy; that by Mrs. G. G. Boynton excellent,
aud by Miss Jane Howard was splendid, and
showed considerable training and care. The
,lnging was good; the choir was led by Mr.. Still
ION of Augusta.
1t was intended to have had the band from River
side, butby some mishsp did not come. There were
three swings on the ground, two for the children
aud one for those Of larger growth, which seemed
to be enjoyed BY those who swung and by those
who looked on.
Capt. Sherman offered prayer, and made some
remarks. There was lemonade and ice water,
and the tables were loaded down with every thing
good to eat. Perhaps there was not much
carried away as there was from the feast we read
OF in the Good Book, but there there was some
carried away for the band which did not come.

despatch from the United States minister TO
Greece asserts that the United States can now and
hencefoith control to a large extent the grain
markets of Europe. Russia has been our only
competitor in this trade. British capitalists are
now building six large sized iron vessels for the
transportation of breadstuffs from our shores on
English account. We should not only strain ev-
cry nerve to meet the increased demands of Eu-
rope for breadstufs, bat should also supply ships
to carry the same.
