From our Special Correspondent
BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CAMP,
August 9th, 1873.
1t Is with much regret that we chron-
Gle the illness Of several of our young
ladies', but by request we withhold all
names and particulars, and hope for their
speedy restoration to perfect health.
Last evening Witnessed the largest
attendance we have had as yet, and
many carriages were on the grounds.
Quite an amusing incident occurred
when the services were over, and the
transient visitors were lie wing for home.
1t happened that young man named
Clark, and Mr.. f. I. Clymer, both of
your city, who drove out here in the
evening, had teams very similar In ap-
pearance-gray horses and top buggies.
Mr.. Cialk started home first, and by
mistake took Mr.. Clymer's team the
hostler not knowing the difference. A
young man standing near the entrance,
who knew Mr.. Clymer's turnout, told
Mr.. Clark he had the wrong team, but
Mr. Clark, thought other wise, and could
not be convinced to the contrary and so
he drove off. When Mr.. Clymer prepared
TO start for home he could not find his
horse aud carriage, aud seeing another
gray horse, thought some one had ex-
changed, and SO nothing was left for him
10 do but to take possession of the same.
His feelings can better be imagined than
described. We would advise all young
men who drive hired teams out to camp
TO tie piece of ribbon on their horse, and
ttus avo d all SUI b nishaps.
The weather is delightful here this
morning; a very refreshing breeze
sprang up last night and continues to this
writing.
Quite number of young ladies from
Philadelphia, are boarding at Iarm
house iu the immediate vicinity of the
Camp ground, in the evening they walk
over to the camp and attend divine wor-
ship and then return to their home. They
seem to be enjoying the exhileratlng
breeze of the country.
AS Mr.. John Nipple, of Brandywine
Summit station, who is dealer in lum-
Der at that place, was driving load OF
lumber to tina camp or some farm house
and when about three-fourths of a mile
from the camp ground, he Was struck by
some means by a piece of lumber on the
neck, injuring him so much that he had
to return home. Such was the nature OF
