Notes and Incidents.

Vases of bright flowers in front of some of the cottages were real adornment to the grounds. It is fashion that should be encouraged. They are bits of illumination in the sombreness of the grove.
 Our report of the services says the meet ings closed with the midnight procession. but in fact Young Peoples Meeting was held after that ceremony, which did not close until o'clock this morning.
 Perkins, the Sheffield barber, who hung out his tonsorial shingle on the grounds last Monday, is now in Bennington jail. He was identified as the man who is ac- cused of robbing iewelry store in that town, and $l5O worth of the alleged stolen goods was found on him.
 It may be we'll to caution those who live in tents, against too free exhibition of their shadows on the thin walls of their habtations. Shadow pantomimes, indes- cribably funny, grotesque, and sometimes startling were involuntarily performed to the edifcation of the lockers on.
 We have not the exact amount of the re- ceipts of the week, but careful estimate puts the sum at about $400 in addition to the lots sold. Of this about $500 was re. ceived at the gate for the admission of teams, and nearly one-half of it was taken yesterday. Fully 800 teams were on the grounds. The penitents, or converts, mum. Der about 125.
 The supply Of water gave out early on Sunday, both at the spring and at the tanks near the boarding house, consequently the lemonade sellers did a brisk trade all day, Before the next meeting the association will build. at convenient place, a reser- volr holding oyer 200 hogsheads of water, which, it is hoped, will be ample provision for all wants.
 or course the ''smart" young man at tended camp meeting. He sat boozily wall Bridge tent, on Saturday night. He believed when the people sang, and laugh ed and chatted with his fellows during prayer Then the big policeman came, and the drunken loafer slunk away into the darkness and was seen no more.
 Three, only, of the thousands who have been at the camp, were so brutal in theil behavior as to call for lodgment in the lock up. On Friday night chap named Gal lagher, of Canaan, and one named Smitt of New Haven, were locked up, and or Saturday another candidate impiously in- toxicated, was gwen three hours free lodg ings.

EDITOR CONN. WESTERN NRws.-DRAR SiR:-Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to express my sincere thanks to the people ot Canaan for their hearty assistance in saving Christ Church" during the fire of Saturday night.

Win OSc Child are YOuq

Everybody is somebody's child. A mans future in this world does not depend exclusively upon aohdt he is; it may depend very much upon sohose he js. ltls some times very important to have our relation ship definitely fixed, beyond all possibility of doubt. "Blood will tell," and the law of the land makes children heIrs to the pos sessions of him whose they are. It makes difference then whether your father is rich or poor.
 But how does any one become the child Of another By generation and birth. know of no other way. It is true that one man may take another mans child into his family by legal process called adoption, and consider him his own, but really he is not, because another man Is his father. Each man in the flesh has, or has had, a father, and no man can have more than one father. What are your earthly prospects? !? To what family do you belong2 Whose child are you2
 In the spiritual sense everybody is some body's child. A mans future in the spirit world will depend upon sohat he is, and sohose he is. There are but two who pre- tend to be fathers of our spirits. If you are not child of one you are by necessity child of the other. There is no alterna- tive but that. You must be a child of God or child of the Devil. Whose child are your
 As Christians, we say, '.Now are we the sons of God" but we were not always thus We formerly belonged to another family. and had another father, of whose nature and spirit we largely partook. How, then. have we become the children of God " There is but one way, the only way by which one can really become the child of another-by generation and birth. We were generated and born before; this time we are regenerated and born again. w. are not the children of legal adoption only we are born into the divine family.
 But" says one. "how do you know that you are the children of God ?' We answer, first because He osons us. "Th' Spirit beAreth witness with our spirit tha we are the children of God" We answer secondly, because we are ''partakers of the divine nature." Blood will tell. Thi is an important matter; "and if children then heirs; heirs of God"
 A child partakcs of it's fathers nature What is your nature; divine or deYilish Whose child are you If you are not now child of God make haste to get into the divine family, Come in the right way. There Is but one way regeneration and birth: ''Verily, verify say unto thee, except man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom oi God. That which is born of the flesh il | flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that said unto thee ye must be born again."
 If you are still in sin, may your happy conversion soon set the choirs of heaven singing oyer another soul born by new celestial birth. and added to the number oi Gods dear children.

 And beings perfect bliss IS given, i Lo! new Eden starts to view, i While angel harps rejoice in heaven: 'Tis wondrous all, divinely bright, And the new creature walks in light" | J. G. OAKLEY

The Camp Meeting. g.-Some idea of the great number in attendance on the Pine Grove Camp grounds last Sunday, may be obtained by the fact that the gate admis- sion was between 4,ooO and 5000. The very best of order was maintained through out the day. and in fact through all the the week of meetings, which appears to be report we are able to give, entirely un- like that from the Plainville camp meet ings, as reported in the New York Tunes, which pictures vast amount of intoxica- ton. with it's accompanying disorder and confusion.
 The meetings have altogether been the most successful, spiritually as well as f. nancially, of any ever held on these grounds. Many have been converted, ,while many others have been aroused to reali- zation of their situation and condition here in this world of sin, and are made to think seriously of their souls salvation. The debt of the association has been made less burdensome, the years meetings enabling it to make payment of full thousand dollars. reducing its obligation that amount. Much of this sum was raised by the sale of cottage building lots, quite large num- Der having been sold, ou which new cot tages will probably be erected another year. Among the number of lots sold this year are one to the Rev. Hoyt of Stamford, Rev. A. H. Ferguson of Hudson, N. M. Brown, Supt. Hous. R. R., and Rev. Dr. King of Newburgh. Before the next years meet ings, it is the purpose of the association tc erect large reservoir on the grounds, o1 sufficient capacity to accommodate both man and beast. It is also the purpose ot the association to construct in time for next years meetings,a plank walk from the rail way station to the grounds. These will certainly add much to the comfort of those who attend.
