On Saturday evening the tenters at
the Brandywine Summit who were al
most choked and blinded with dust,
were wishing that that there would be
shower of rain through the night that
the dust might he laid and every thing
made more pleasant for the big Sun
day that was to follow. The clouds be.
gan to thicker, the Katy .did-its sawed
the air, the owls whickered and soon
after midnight the rain drops began to
patter down on the tent roofs, Those
who prayed for rain had their prayers
ans wered, but amongst the tenters
were those who had fears that the
clouds having once opened their win
dows, would not be In a hurry to close
them again.
Faster and faster came the deluge Of
rain and each succeeding shower beat
with more vehemence. Daylight broke
upon the camp. The heavens were
smoothed over with dark clouds, The
dust was laid. The squirrels venture 4
down from the dripping tree tops in
quest of crumbs and apples below and
the tenters venture1 to pull aside the
curtains and look QUE upon wet,
rainy morning without any sign Of a
let up. Oliver, the genial host Of the
Union boarding tent looked skyward
through his fingers to see the least sign
of rift in the clouds that indicated a
breaking away.
Pickels, Mccall and Green, of St.
Pauls circle, yawned as they ram med
their fingers through their gray locks,
and thought of good things provided
and which would not be consumed. In
fact it was blue morning for all who
expected the big Sunday to help them
through. Even Chandler of the bread
tent, so full OF sunshine looked gloomy
Casey the ice cream man whistled as the
rain drops struck him in the eye, and
Thomas of the equine pound, heaved a
sigh as he looked upon his bags of oats
that would not be consumed.
Rain, rain; shower after shower came
/ pattering down amongst the trees, and
the people kept within their tents. OF
course no meetings were held at the
bbduu uuIluS ,bho A4JP o"N PA"yoA hAOOv'
ings we're held in the larger tents and
were tolerably well attended though
many of the tenters remained housed
up in their own tents all day trying to
keep comfortable. The visitors were
few and far between, in fact not more
than three or four hundred persons
were on the ground besides those who
tented there, where there are usually
that many thousand present when the
weather is favorable.
TIE boarding tent keepers have uu-
doubtedly suffered a heavy loss and
there is much sympathy expressed for
them, for what would a modern day
camp meeting be without them. No
damage was done by the storm 50 far as
could be learned, but more efectuaI
squelching out Of the meeting could not
have been effected IL a storm had up
set every tent on the ground. 1t is ex'
pected however that there will be good
weather the remainder of the week dur
ing which the misfortunes of the wei
2big Sunday may be partially overcome,

Soaked aud the Farmers Happy
At an early hour yesterday morning,
the city, and surrounding country were
visited by one of the heaviest rains wit
Messed for q long time. The rain con-
tinued to fall in torrents throughout the
day and night, and at this writing the
clouds had not vanished from the
heavens. Many Of the streets were
flooded, the cutters ran In torrents and
it was with much difficulty that pedes-
trians could cross the streets.
The rain put a GaInper Ola "Big
Quarterly" among the colored folks
and was a serious drawback to those
who anticipated attending B-andywine
Summit Camp Meeting, in consequence
the livery men had the blues all day.
1t is an i'll wind that blows no one
any good and while the livery
men were not in the best
of humor, the farmers were jubilant as
they looked upon the storm as q God
send to them. Vegetation will be re-
vived, late corn and vegetables not ma.
tured, together with the pasture fields,
will be greatly benefited and the
ground put in excellent condition for
plowihg.
AS far as can be learned but very lit.
tie damage was done, excepting numer.
GUS streams were overaowed. The most
serious damage was the breaking of a
shute at the foot of West street over
the south bound race, which caused
the water to rush into the race with
such force as to cause it. to overflow
and the bank was broken for a consid.
cradle distance. The damage will be
repaired by tomorrow noon. Two
large cherry trees and Que large null
berry tree were b,oEh down On Orange
