CoIored Campmeet,ng In DetveiIsr's Grove
Tho SWindlod Farmers Recover
Their Notes-Borough Locals.
Our friends of the African Methodist
Episcopal church are holding their annual
campmeeting in Detweiler's woods, not far
from the southwestern borough limits.
The attendance Sunday was very large,
made up chiefly of country folks and per-
sons from neighb0ring towns. There were
less than fifty blacks present, while the
whites who were there numbered thou
sands. Five tents, some unOccupied, are
all that are pitched. The seats OF boards
in front of the pulpit are too few, and
those that are there are too low to sit
upon comfortably. Elder N0rrif, of Lam
caster, preached in the afternoon, taking
for his text "Their soul shall be as a
watered gsrden.' The singing was not
SO good as expected, but the choir will be
numerically strengthened this week, and
by next Sunday they will be ready to sing
with their Old-time vigor.
Surrendered the Notes.

ing to $40, QUO which Amos G. Smith, the
