SUNDAY, August II.

What of the morning? is the firstques-
ton that falls upon our drowsy ears, and
instantly we awake TO the fact that this
is Sabbath morning, the day most to be
dreaded and more unpleasant than any
other of the entire meeting. The morn
ing is decidedly cool, dark and gloomy,
with a slight sprinkle of rain, yet we
hope for the best and enter upon our
work of the day with piOus resignation.
The B. d o. road is as usual affording
perfect facilities for attending the meet
ing Excursion trains are arriving hourly
loaded with passengers and an immense
crowd is already upon the ground.
Rev. Campbell, a missionary who
shortly leaves for Mexico, preached from
the grand stand at 81 A. VI. At lO4
o'clock Rev. Simon Peter Wolf enter
tanned a large audience for one hour.
The discourse was grandly eloquent
and inspired all his hearers. May
We have more such. Bro. Moses, not
OF the Wilderness, discussed at the
tabernacle at the same hour, while Rev.
Darby and HenthOrne preached outside
the circle to the sheep who were wan
dering away. At u o'clock all hands
engage in supplying bodily wants and
greater zeal and appreciation is shown
than we see manifested at any other
time. Indeed We think camp meeting a
good place to be about dinner hour. The
bell again calls to worship and Rev.
HOltZ discOurses from the main stand
and j. ID. Moore at the tabernacle. a
platform meeting at o'clock especially
Tor the local brethren was novel
feature and quite interesting. The
usual children's meeting 64 O'Clock, iol-
lowed by another service ut u o'clock,
:. G.. sullivan preaching in his most ex-
cellent style To a vast and attentive
audience. The crowd is estimated at
from six 10 seven thousand and is one
thousand short of last year. They
are universally well behaved
and we have failed to see but
three OF four persons the least intOxicat-
ed. This is great advance over former
years, and one that speaks well for all
concerned.
The women are noticsably handsome,
and we wonder why there can be so
many bachelors and girls without
beaux. Many are OverdresSedas usual,
but the sensible short dress is good and
We see but little sweeping of the dust,
making il less disgusting.
To speak of the discOmforts of the
dirty dust would be impossible. Faces,
hair, dresses, coats, boots, &c., are com
pletely covered and presenta sorry ap-
pearance.
The press is not largely represented,
yet we notice the happy, genial faces OF
Mr.. Hunt, of the Belmont ChrOHicte, MIR.
McClelland and Barnes, of the Enter
priss, Mr.. Taylor and BuchanOn, of the
Gue7lSSy Times, and Henderson, OF the
Bellaire Independent.
Political candidates are doing good
work and cordially seeking the welfare
of Yourself and family. -.-
The enforcement of the Sunday Law
has been strictly observed, and at this
writing nothing has occurred TO mar the
peace. The talk of what would be
amounted TO mOOnshine, and everybody
seems satisfied, excepting the reporters,
who never cleaned in so barren field
and have lOnged for even n dog fight.
We saw one mule kick and all rushed
10 the spot, but even thatanimsl at once
remembered the time and place, and
instantly recovered his amiability; in
fact, the crowd is made up of sugar and
spice, and all that's NICE and making
love in the Ark style, two by two, is
the order Of the day And we regret
that we are obliged To sail our little bud
get of news without the pleasure of the
slightest breeze. ETHEL-
