MouSDsvILLE, August o5.-1 closed my
report last night with the battle still raging,
and it was after 10 o'clock before the noise
and din Of the conflict ceased. After these
had passed away an effort was made to
count the number that were slain, but it
seems TO be impossible, Ms the altar was
crowded and it WAS not possible 10 dis,in.

the song o! Zion, and all kneeled during
prayer. Elder Ryan took occasion to re.
mark that il anyone cried failure, in re-
gard to the meeting, do not now cry excite.
ment; his faith was now strong enough 10
save one thousand souls for Christ.
During the altar service on last evening,
a young lady residing a few miles from
here WAS among the penitent at tho altar.
1t was noticed that while wrestling and
pleading tor acceptance, there was great
strain on her nerves, and this proved 10 be
80 great tina. she became wholly uucon.
scIous OF anything that was going on. She
was taken 10 cottage and placed on sofa
For three. hours she was in this condition,
only at intervals she cried, "Glory, Glory.
Glory" The hands were closed and couii
not be forced open; the arms could not be
bent, and only for the fact that she would
at intervals cry out, she had the appear
ancc OF one dead. All efforts to arouse
her were simply made in vain.
Alter the crowd had retired from the
cottage and every thing had become quiet,
she returned 10 consciousness, and onIy
complained OF her arms being very tired.
1t was very amusing to hoar the number OF
plans that were suggested to arouse her
Wise counsel prevailed and God and
nature were allowed to take their own
course.
AS TO the cause this strange occurrence
will rot venture any opinion, leaving

The gathering oithe faithful Mt the tabcr-
nacie this morning WIS rather slow. The
Inst half hour o! the service is consumed
IN waiting for the people TO come, and
when the time arrives to conclude the ser.
vice many'desire 10 be heard. Again there
seems 10 be soma that consume more time
than they should 10 the exclusion OF others.
There are some who have been heard for
their much speaking, and they are not rs

and before the close several OF the brethren
and sisters INDUCED in shout, and ior q
time there was Il sort OF religious chaos
rcigning in the old tabernacle. Several OF
our colorea friends took au active part in
thie meeting, and brother Alex. Turner'g

manner that discounted his white brethren,
One conversion was the result OF this
meeting. .,Es ~;
Rev. Wm. Ferguson, OF Clariny,on,
Haio, occupied HE pulpit at tho muin
stand, taking as lis lext, "Be We perfect" +"
etc.
It WAS decided to have continuation OF
the experience meetings, to begin at 0
o'clock, instead OF the regular services in
the auditorium at 3 r. VI. This meeting
did aot seem so interesting rs the, one
held in the morning, still, it gave those who
were deprived OF being nearI in the morn.
Ing an. opportunity OF bearing testimony
for the Master.
The cottage meetings arc getting to be
very popular, and the tents are crowded
nightly, The young peoples meeting at
q II NJ, was attended by an immense audi.
enoe, and owing to the dampness OF the
ground at the main stand il wa. thought
wise to protract this meeting, and accord.
ing!y the meeting continued without any
interruption. Every seat waa occupied,
and for space OF ten feet or more outside
the tent were seated people, deeply inter.
ested in the services. The usual sermon
was omitted, and for four hours there was
a continuation Of prayer and praise, As
on last evening the altar was crowded with
penitents, and | haYc heard Of several con.
versions up to the time OF closing this re,
post.
The large audience are now singing the
"Sweet Bye and Bye" and the old folls
are making the camp ring with their
Ameus and llallelujahs. -

Some rain today.
Few visitors to-day.
Exceedingly warm this morning.
Camp will probably break on AIondaY
morning. -
Grapd Temperance rally on tomorrow af.
iesnoon, on which occasion large crowd
is expected.
Owing 10 the rain, the night service was
held atthc tabernacle. The pulpit does
not look very inviting whit poster that
adorns The wall. There are other places
that il seems would be more appropriate.
