Camp.-Tbe attendance at Washington
Grove on Sunday is estimated at five thous-
and, composed of visitors from the District OF
Columbia, and Montgomery, Washington,
Howard and Frederick counties. The exer-
cises of the day were begun at $50 O'Clock
with an experience meeting, and at II o CLOCK
Rev. Dr. Lannahan preached. His theme was
"The Hear, of Man," rs spoken of in Jere-
miah, 18th chapter. He regarded man as
decide, ard argued for the acceptation o! the
above quoted chapter, which speaks of the
heart Of maa as desperately wicked. He ex-
pressed the belief that the weaknesses ana err
rors of mans conduct were attributable to n
want of proper understanding Of wha, con-
s,i,u,es moral guilt, and that unless man had
the true spirit of GOD he could not do the will
of God, and unless he did the will Of God he
was desperately wicked. These positions he
sustained by close reasoning and a very effec-
tive delivery, commanding the mos, interested
attention from his vast congregation.
Al . clock childrcn's meeting was held
followed by the regular afternoon service con-
Quoted by Rev. Richard Norriss of George
town. AT 6 o'clock very interesting young
peoples meeting was held in the tabernacle
The contributions were very liberal.
Besides the local notables present were Judge
Lewis, of the Appeal Tax court States At
torney Stake and A. r. Appleman, of Hagers-
town; ex.United States Attorney Genera!
Williams, Col. BAughman, Of the Frederick
Citizen, and Robert Haydn, of the Ilagers-
town Guard The Baltimore Sun, as might
be expected, was represented.
The grove, so well adapted for the purpose,
is much improved. The leaves are cleaned
up, the avenues cleared Of distractions, the
cottages are tastefully painted and the build
ings are more substantial and present better
appearance than at any previous year. The
greatest improvement IS large two-story
building, erected by Mr.. Wash. B. Williams,
Of Washington The first floor is used as a
post-office and furniture store, and the second
story is carpeted and otherwise arranged 10
accommodate visitors with lodging.
So far the best order has been maintained,
and the present management must make
Washington Grove the most attractive camp
in the country. We notice also that now our
county people are treated with proper courte-
sy, which is n great improvement over the
rudencss and even insults of former years.
On Tuesday the "boy preacher Harrison,
arrived on the grounds and will remain until
the breaking up. The attendance all through
the week has been large.

Destructive Storm Till this week TO
our knowledge this county had escaped the
destructive storms that have visited various
sections of the country at periods OF the
season. On Tuesday evening last dark,
threatening cloud gathered over the section
OF country from this town southwark towards
the river In this Immediate visinity no dam
age was done. In the section Of country over
which hung the cloud Mrs Samuel Wilson
had hay-barrack containing twelve tones of
hay consumed by the flames created by
stroke OF lightning. Al 0ffuirs Roads,
distant about five miles from here, the damage
by the wind is immense. The store house of
Messrs 0Guit & Perry had the first story
blown off and the side knocked out by the fall
OF the roof. After this opening was made the
goods contained in the store were saturated
with water. A colored man, John Thomas, who
had arrived at the store as the wind began to
blow took shelter at the side in preference TO
going inside tina, he might watch his team Of
horses that had been lief, standing, was crushed
10 death under the roof On the opposite side
of the street Messrs. Offutt & Perry had nearly
completed new brick building that was also
unrooGed by the storm. Much corn and
fencing were blown down in that neighbour
hood. In other sections of the county rain
fell copiouSly, but the storm was not terrific.

strong stream Of sparks from the opening
in the top Of the converter. The metal
was then returned to the boiling furnace
worked about thirty minutes, made INTO
balls, put through the squeezeE and rolls
and made into bars Of muck-iron. The

The machinery and implements were Inn

In consequence OF the imperlection,
a Considerable quantity Of the metal was
wasted. So far as the percentage
Of yield Ia concerned, this can not
be considered a test. We have not

that Il was about the usual charge for 4

balls Of usual size, which were rolled
into four bars, which were estimated TO
weigh in the aggregate, between four and
Eve hundred pounds. Experiments will
be made, probably this week, with i'm
proved means Of handling the metal 10

Brown, Bonnell 4 Co. are determined to
give the process thorough test. Messrs.

Saturday satisfactory, and talk copident-
ly Of ultimately being able to take the
metal as It runs from the blast furnace
and by their process and the usual roll
ing machinery TO convert it into muck

OF pudding or boiling, and consequently

OF making iron.

while they manifest some uneasiness, and
few think it may be success, generally
look upon It as visionary and altogether
impracticable as eliectiDg any saving IN
the manufacture Of iron. They hold lit

inquire: "What Is the latest news from

Several Of our iron manufacturers
think It will be failure, as the yield
will be deficient. II. @. 5.

DAVID A. WELLS in the International

country are s4OO,OOO,OOO and the net
earnings Of capital s2OO,OOO,OOo. About
slOo,oOO,OOO Of these earnings go to aux
Hilary occupations like those of physi'

reaches the conclusion that in good

900. The average income per capita in
Great Britain he estimates to be about
one fourth less than the United States

How Business men are Beginning
10 Talk.

Cincinnati Gazette,
It is encouraging to go among business
men now, and hear them talk abont the
future. The opinion Is universal that the
worst has been passed and the turn fairly
made. Croakers have disappeared, or
rather they have changed sides. This is
in striking contrast with the talk awhile
ago. Then twas gloomy, indeed. Well,
when everybody talks fayorably much Il
gained, because confidence has everything
10 do with business. Now, we have re.
turning confidence based upon splendid
crops; low prices; a hardpan foundation;
plenty Of money; paper and coin about
equal; no resumption scare; the iulA.
ton lunacy almost cured, and Europe in
the market for our surplus products.
Capitalists, too, are showing their faith
BY their works. Movements are being
made here in the line Of manuiactures
that will employ much capital and many
men. Projects that would not be looked
at six months ago are eagerly sought
after now.

Of the oat-crop was sown very late. But

log upon the eggs. In some sections Of
the country the eggs have Matched, in
limited numbers, and the young 'hoppers
have destroyed a few crops, and, in some
cases, have slightly damaged others. But,
altogether, the present prospect for a
good harvest has never been surpassed.
10 this country crops are never injured
by too much rain nor by drought, unless
the farmers neglect to irrigate. Thus
far, irrigation has been unnecessary this
season.
Grass Is very fine.
Very little fruit was injured by the
cold weather here-dried fruit Is not in.
jured in that way, and the canned fruit
was well protected.
"The outlook" both agricultural and
financial, Ia certainly better than It was
at corresponding date IN 1877, and for
various reasons. Mon,ana's incompara.
bic stock range Is being utilized to
greater extent than formerly, resulting
in annually increased shipments Of beef
and wool 10 the East, and the return Of
larger amounts Of money. Our rich
gold and silver mines are being quite
rapidly developed, and, Of course, are
increasing the wealth and enlargipg the
OF the country.

OMAHA, July 1.-The storm which pre-
vailed here during Saturday night was
the most severe that has ever visited this
section. 1t covered the entire State, and
was everywhere uniformly heavy and Sc
we're in its course through the State. II
lasted at given point about five hours
during which time the rain came down in
an incessant torrent. But few reports Of
damage to crops have been received. and
it is believed that grain has not utiered
as much as was at fret supposed. The
damage has been confined 10 low spot'
where the water entirely covered the
grain. Much damage was done in this city
BY cellars being filled and bridges wash
ing away.
