LYNDONVILLE CAMP-MEETlNG.

The camp-meeting which commenced
one week ago Wednesday closed last
Thursday night, having been very fully
attended and productive of much good.
On Sunday it is estimated that 5000
persons were present and that 1900
teams were required to bring this large
number, no trains having been run. The
old tents and camp houses were all filled
and several new ones were added this
year. The new buildings are being
more conveniently and substantially
built than the old, and each year shows
an Improvement in all that ministers to
the comfort of those attending. An ex-
cellent victualling establishment, this
year run by the Burke M. E. Society,
afforded opportunity for cheap board,
meals and lodgings, as we'll as chance
to buy all needed articles at reasonable
rates.
The general superintendent of the
meeting was in the hands of Presiding
Elder Malcolm, who managed it very
easily and successfully. The police was
in the hands of A. J. Willard, ESQ.,. Of
St. Johnsbury, who maintained excellent
order throughout.
