Fairfield.

FAIRFIELD, Aug. %.
The Fairfield corn canning establishment
commenced operations to-day. We learn of
the agent, S. Merrill, ESQ.,, that about three
hundred and sixty acres have been planted
and from which it is expected there will be
harvested about six hundred cans.
This will give the farmers of this vicinity
nearly twenty-five hundred dollars and make
the average income per acre about sixty
dollars. If, as is claimed, the stalks, husks
and cobs pay the expenses, the income is far
better than from other crops.
Several of our mills have shut down for
orders The market is overstocked and sales
slow and at figures that leave no profit for the
manufacturer. Crops of all kinds are coming
in remarkably we'll and the yield will be large.

he did not use the term deserted family" in
connection with Mr.. Cove, in his speech at the

Mr.. Chapman says the term used was desert

porter misquoted him on some other points,

CAMP MEETINGS.
Old Orchard District Camp Meeting.

Old Orchard District Camp Meeting.
THURSDAY.
Wednesday evening Rev. Mr.. Corey of West
Baldwin preached from Isai 40, 81, 'They shall
run and not be weary, &c." He commenced
that Christian life is represented in the Bible as
strife and warfare and also as peace and rest.
1t becomes a question with many, may we
expect rest and repose of soul or is conflict and
warfare an inevitable part of Christian exper-
fence. How can we realize the peace and rest
promised?
1. The unity of all our powers in the service
of God is the first thing essential. The powers
and force of our nature are at war among
themselves, at war with reason and conscience
These powers are not to be destroyed but read
justed SO as to read God-ward, upward, and the
antagonisms of the heart cease and only the
outward foes remain.
2. The work and abiding presence of the
Holy Spirit is essential to produce this change
and make the condition permanent.
The sermon was very original in plan of
illustration and produced powerful effect
upon the congregation. 1t was followed with
several powerful exhortatons amid shouts and
hallelujah's reminds US of old fashioned camp
meeting scenes The thick mists of the morn
ing have passed away and the voice Of praise
and prayer is heard all over the ground.
At 10 o'clock Rev. Mr.. Berry of S.andish
preached from Matt 81, %, go work in my
vineyard The first question was "What is
work?" Work is occupation but he believed all
work is force. Means, agencis and machinery
can accomplish nothing without such force.
1. This is seen in character building. We
are what we make ourselves and there are no
laws of necessity fixing the result. The thought
INDUCED, books read, and associations
formed contribute to the result. Work is
essential to spiritual character. Wesley and
Luther were examples of this. Effort should
not be limited to self work, this will dwarf US.
2. "Work in my vineyard is the comm and.
All around are open fields, enter item, win
souls, save men. Complain not of weakness
and efficiency, Christ who claims your efforts
will give you tools appropriate to the work de-
manded. The call is to all, amid trial and
conflict work on and by and by the morning of
victory will dawn in brightness and glory.
Exhortations followed from number of
the thirty preachers present, At two o'clock
Rev. S. 1. Wetherbee preached to very large
congregation from l John iv., IS, "God is
love-" which was listened with deep attention
and followed by very powerful after service
conducted by Rev. d. w. LsLacheur.

never return to the East or South except as
