Notes from the Campground
The Tabernacle came back to its old quarters
10 the boarding house this afternoon. No acci.
dent has befallen it, and all concerned will breathe
more freely. The risk attending it's erection in
the open field at this season of the year was very
great; but the weather has been all that could
be desired, and we are glad to learn that good
sum of money has been obtained for the Yellow
Fever sufferers by its use in Gardiner.
Mr.. Reed keeps busy cleaning up the grove and
making Improvements generally. No cottages
have been erected since the meeting thus far but
several lots have been stsked for those desir.
ing to build.
Visitors arc numerous as the drives thr ough the
grove are very fine. The streets were never in
such good condition at this season of the year al
now, and very little labor will be required upon
them for years. New streets will be graded next
season. 1t has been the custom to grade up the
avenues rs last as cottages are erected, but il
strikes me that II the avenues were graded frs,
cottages could be built mo- vaptageou.ly bu,
the state of the finances has never admitted Of
any outlay except what has been absolutely nee.
