CAMP MEETINGS.-This seems to be the off year in
camp meetings. None at Blackbird, none at Camden,
none at Spring Branch none at Thistlewoods-none
in Kent and none in New Castle below the canal.
Those persons whose chief diversions are camp
meetings and crcuses are certainly to be ptied. The
Unsuitable greed of the bread-stand keepers over
shadowed the influence of the preachers stand, and
this is how it came about. The ministers at the last
Conference under the lead of the lamented Hough
stuck their pegs down against the desecratng Sunday
traffic, and have conquered truce. The protocol is
with them and it is in their power to dictate future
terms. In trying to arrange for the Camden camp
where considerable difficulty was experienced last
year. they could only find one minister, Rev. Mr..
Robinson, who would consent to take charge at ALL
of the meeting and he only through the week days,
and the managers, though wanting to hold meeting
have had to abandon it for want of ministerial head
