Camp Meeting.

Services commenced Wednesday even.
ing in Carpenters grove, below the mill.
Rev. 0. r. Newell delivered an excellent
discourse from the text, 81 came not to
call the Righteous, but Sinners to repent
ence."
From Thursday until Sabbath evening
the following preaching was had, at a
past 10 III the morning, 4 past 2 in the
afternoon, and at O'Clock in the evening
Of each day, prayer meetings being held
at the altar between sermons. Rev. Mr..
SNYDER, Rev Mr. Plummer, Rev. Mr. Gray,
Elders Williams and Chase were also
present and delivered sermons at different
times during the session.
Sabbath morning at 9 o'clock, a love
feast was held after which Elder Williams
preached from the words, "That which
hath been is now; and that which is to be
has already been; and God requireth that
which is past" At the close of his sermon
63 persons went forward and partook ofthe
communion. An interim of two hours &C.
Cured during which picnic dinners were
served. At - past the children and Sun.
day School scholars were arranged along
the front seats, and addressed by Elder
Williams, Elder Chase, Rev. Mr. Newell
and Snyder, closing with the singing Of
the .Doxology by the entire congregga lion.
This children's meeting was one of the
features of the service, the addresses made
were entertaining, both to the little and
older ones, aad furnished food for thought
by parents and all interested in the com.
Ing generation.
hee closing SCI Iio.i on 5;sno;is lii evening
was giving by Elder Williams, to large
and interested audience. The text "And
they said, Believe iii the Lord Jesus Christ,
and we shall be saved" though familiar
one, formed the basis for an eloquent dis
course and evidently an effective one, as
several came forward for prayers at its
close.
There could have been no more fitting
time for the closing scene of these inter.
esting ceremonies than was last Sunday
! evening, the moon at its full travelling up
the heavens, accompanied by bright star
that called to mind the "Star of Bethle-
hem," cool breeze so cheering after the
| intense heat of the day, gracefully moved
the foliage of the massive trees that tower
ed like columns of living green, the bright
light of the beacon back of the audience
and the cleaning of the lanterns, suspended
| ftom the trees, all rendered an attractive
| and cheering picture and to he long e
membered by the spectator; and as the
choir sang the closing hymn their sweet
voices echoing through the grove, it seem.
ed that natrre had formed Gods Temple
for the purpose tina, man could there pay
his devotion to the Supreme Ruler of all
At midnight the audience had dispersed
and only those who remained in their tents
were left upon the grounds where hun.
! dreds had listened to the sacred word, and
we hope effectively.

Convention.

AS will be seen the Territ orial Conven-
| ton for the nomination Of Delegate to
Congress and also FOR District Attorneys
for the three Judicial Districts has been
called st iankton for Thursday the 22d
day of August, at IL O'Clock m.
The Delegate question in this county
seems to be, settled in favor Of Judge Kid
der, and as to the second choice should he
fail 10 receive sufficient support to secure
his nomination, We have heard but little
said. The Judge has many warm support
ers in this locality being personally known
to them for many years; and there has as
yet been no known canvass by any other
asprant here.
The law which Lecomes operative next
January, relative to The District Attorney,
aEolishes the office of an Attorney for
each county, and provides for only three
District Attorneys in the Territory, one for
each judicial District, and as there is no
District committe to call separate con-
vention for that purpose, would it not be
we'll for each county Convention to en-
power their delegate elect to the Congress
ional convention, unite with the delegates
from their Judicial District, and there
nominate Tor that office; this would Ger
iainly save time and the necessity of anoth.
er convention and by this means the Ter
ritorial Ticket would be complete at once.
The wishes of the people could certainly
be met by this method as we'll as at sepa-
rate convention.
This portion Of the I'd Judicial District
will probably present the name OF Alfred
Flagg, of Sioux Falls, for the office of
District Attorney. That seems to be the
intention now He is certainly gentle
man worthy of the position, being pos
sessed of more than ordinary talent and
studious application. The emoiuments 10
be received are of no inducement to the
older attorneys whose home business
would be necessarily interfered with, and
the vigor and commendable desire to dis
charge the duties of the office woul&tend
to insure satisfactory administration.
