VAUDEVILLE &. Sept 9TH, 1878.
Yesterday as the day wore on the great sur shone
forth in all his glory Frightening up the great
temple Of nature with floods of golden light
while heecy clouds of ever changing beauty float
ed over the vast expanse of blue above yelling the
too ardent heat of the suns rays, and throwing
beautiful and varied shadows over the widespread
landscape below. The air resonnded with the
pleasing twitterng of birds, rusting of leaves
and gentle whispers of the wind as it stirred the
foliage Of the circliDg trees. The weather and
scene were calculated to awaken happy and ex-
uberant emotions. The congregation poured
forth strains Of sacred melody and one could al
most imagine the whole universe had found .
tongue which exalted 10 unison with that OF man.
At o'clock beautiful song service was held
in the grove. As the people were thus pleasantly
engaged the wind began to freshen and the fall
ing leaves and swaying of the tree tops indicated
change in the elements. Soon white capped
clouds began TO roll up over the sky and drop af
ter drop OF rain to descend. The people hastily
sought the shelter ofthe pavilion and Of smaller
tents, and none too soon, for the very food gates
of heaven seemed to open and the rain came
down in torrents. Afternoon services we're he'll
