There was very large crowd in at
tendance at the A. NJ. f. Camp Meeting
last Sunday. All the railroads ran ex-
cursions, and brought in full trains of
visitors. The crowd on the grounds was
orderly and well behaved, and the SER
vices were interesting. A storm coming
up just at the opening of the evening SER
vices drove the people from the grounds
and caused an adjournment of the ser
vices. which were reOpened, however,
after the storm was over. The attend
anee at the evening meetings throughout
the week has been very good, and the
meetings have been quite successful. The
camp-meeting continues over next Sun
day, and large crowd is expected on
that day. The railroads will run excur-
sion trains from all directions.
A poor Frenchman named Henry Rob
inaid staggered into the courtyard last
Friday morning and laid down on the
steps, where he remained until o'clock
in the afternoon, when the case coming
under the notice of our authorities,
through the kindly interference of Mrs.
Nightingale who also donated some bed
clothing, the poor fellow was removed to
4 bed in the engine house and DIR. Thomp-
son summoned, who pronounced his ex-
hausatiOn to be occasioRed by a terrible
attack of dysentery. Permission was OBJ
tained from the township trustees and
RObinaid conveyed to the Infirmary. The
inhumanity displayed by the Washing
ton G. III. authorities in sending RObinafd
to this city in his condition would do
credit to some barbarOus rather than a
civilized people, CircIeUille Union.
The Union does injustice to our officers
in the above paragraph. The facts are
that the man alluded to came to the Town
ship.Clerk of this Township aud asked for
medicine. He was sent to DIR. Lytle, the
township physician, who furnished him
the medicine he wanted, and sent him to
Mr.. Draper, one of the Board of Trus-
tees. Mr.. Draper asked the man where he
belonged, and he said in Pickaway Coun-
ty, and at his request Mr.. Draper bought
him ticket to Circleville, and sent him
there.
