TUESDAY Eyrx,xc

TUESDAY EVENING.
Inc tabernacle was pretty we'll filed Tues
u@y evening. Before the sermon a request
from the Executive Committee was read. that
no cottage should be rented during the winter.
as 1t increases the risk of FIRE and ahuso Of
the grounds.
Rev. Mr.. Ladd addressed the audience in a
discourse founded on the text BE filled with
the spirit" Eph 5 Oh. lsvs.
Inc sermon was of great strength and con-
sicting power. All were apparently favora-
bly, impressed with it.
WEDNESDAY, FORENOON.
The audiences have perceptibly diminished
turing the past four days, as many have
gone to their homes. The temperance peopIe
are beginning to arrive. and their meet
ings promise To be of special inter-
est. The meeting this forenoon was
sparely attended, and no regular sermon
was preached. Remarks, however, were
made by Rev. Chas. Munger in relation to
the old and revised edition of the New Tes-
lament Various corresponding passages
were read from both editions, and the in
voived explanation clearly rendered The
rejection of the word s'atonement'' was in
particular defended. After Mr.. Munger
concluded, season Of spiritual refreshing
was enjoyed.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
At the suggestion of Rev. A. w. Pottle. a
unanimous vote of thanks was rendered to
Rev. Samuel Allen for bis untiring efforts to
make these meetings a success.
Rev. Mr.. Lindsay of Portland. was intro
duced and announced his text in Revs. chap.
l. VS.. SO. unto him that loved us and
washed us from our sins in his own blood.
and hath made us kings and priests unto God
and his Father; to Him be glory and domin
ion forever and ever, Amen"
Mr.. Lindsay's sermon may be truly said to
have been one of the best efforts of the meet:
ing. This concluded the preaching services
of this campmeeting, and we doubt of bet
ter choice could have been made to close
such an interesting and profitable series of
meetings as there have been.
A social meeting was held last evening. A
retrospection of the past meetings failed to
show any of them lacking in interest The
whole series may be regarded as complete
success, and inferior to none that have pre-
ceded them.

On Saturday last Mr.. Edwin Holway and
wife of Augusta. recently married, were made
the recipients of two beautiful and artist
cally worked quilts contributed by their former
neighbors and schoolmates, with the name of
each donor worked or written in each square.
This affair took place at the residence of Mr..
Holway's father, Mr.. Stephen Holway, in
Norrideewock, where regular old fashioned
quilting and supper took place, and all kinds
of plays and games, with sundry side-shows
thrown in. The tables were arranged in the
yard. Food was carried and the tables load
ed with all kinds of delicacies, and fairly
groaned under their weight, and to make
them more inviting they were tastefully dec
GRATED with beautiful bouquets. A blessing
was asked by Rev. Mr.. Winslow for the 1876
persons who presented themselves at the ia
bles, exclusive of several babies that were
not counted. Col Gould followed with an
appropriate speech presenting the young
couple with the quilts. Mr.. Holway respond
ed. thanking them all, and added that this
event would be remembered by him and his
wife as one of the happiest of their lives.
1t was a late hour when the party took their
leave, and will long be remembered by the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Holway.

If the enterprising Canadian had shaken
his guesses up in hat and drawn them at
random against the days of the month, II
seems impossible that he could have failed
to make a better showing than the above.
Indeed, it is difficult to see how man
could chance to be wrong so often as he
Eas. If he could be relied upon to err as
consistently throughout as he has for Au-
gust, his representations might be some
what useful to point out the kind of wealth
er we should not have. 1t is, perhaps, here
natural 10 digress from the individual
quack to quackery in general, and to COM
ment on the tendency of the human Great
ure to be beguiled by the assurance and pos
itiveness of statement of charlatans in re-
ligion, medicine, politics or education, rath-
er than listen to the more guarded and
careful teachings of men of genuine knowl-
edge and sense of responsibility. But real
ly, the hot, close, murky atmosphere OF
these days which Vennor said were to be
fair and pleasant, and the memory of the
sultry and oppressive evenings and nights of
Tuesday and Wednesday, which the same
eminent authority said were to be cool, are
too debilitating to permit serious discussion,
Wecan only hold up TO public contempt
and laughter the wretched imposter who
has undertaken to guess at the weather and
who has attained the notoriety which i:

beetle lucubrations.
