The services at the house were opened by

They get and hold their offices upon the
implied condition that they shall use and
abuse them for the party service {; they
are appointed on this principle and it is
logical and consistent that they divide
their spOils with their bosses. But when
the day laborers, who are paid by the gov.
ernment scant days wages for a full
days work, are taxed in the same pro-
portion the outrage is unbearable. When
$l7.5O is taken from the man who gets

LANDlsvILLE CAMPmEETING.

Its Opening TO-day-Largo Attendance.
This was the first day of the Landisville
campmeeting, which will continue for ten
days. The weather is very pleasant and it
is not nearly SO warm as in other years at
this time. There is but little dust in
the woods and everything presents bright
and cheerful appearance. 1t was all bus
tie and confusion on the ground to-day,
as everybody is putting up tents
and getting ready for the meeting,
For some days past there have been
several families ON the ground, including
that of our old friend Henry Shubert. He
is always among the first ON the ground
and usually remains for some time after
the meeting concludes. He is in good
humor and greets bis many friends with a
smile.
About forty families are now ON the
ground and that is 4 larger number than
on any first day for years. People are
arriving on every train aud there are y
number Of ministers ON hand. When our
reporter left the ground, Presiding Elder
Dickerson, of Philadelphia, had not yet
arrived but was expected this afternoon.
The first services will be held this evening
when there will he preaching. It is not
known who will hold the services, as the
presiding elder arrives.
Tho hours for services are as follows :
Il. m, prayer meeting s, prayer and
experience meeting 104, preaching p.
NJ, children's meeting 24, preaching; 6,
prayer meeting u, preaching.
The arrangements at the grounds for
board, &C., are almost perfect. The
large boarding tent and restaurant are in
charge of George f. Wisner, of this city.
His rates may be interesting to our read
ers and they are rs follows For the
term, 81 transient bt,arders, 81 per day !;
50 cents for dinner and 40 cents for
breakfast or supper. Children undor IL
years of age arc charged half price. Tho
price for ministers is 81 fer the term or Is
cents per day. Good rooms under shingle
roofs, with two hunks, can be had for 50
Or "a for the term.
The music during the camp will be in
charge of Prof. Ellenberger, of Harrisburg,
and Prof. kirkpatrick, of Philadelphia.
The former has the book tent, which is
also the postOffice of tho ground.
Isaac POwl & Son, have charge Of the
transportation. They have a line of buses
and baggage wagons running from the
grounds to the depot. The omnibus fare
is Is cents or % for the round trip.
Jacob HOllinger, Of this city, will serve
in his old position as police officer and will
see that the rules of the ground are en-
forced.
During the camp an admission Of ten
cents will be charged to the ground and q
season ticket can DO had for 20 cents. No
collections are taken up at tho stand.
Both railroads usually sell excursion
tickets to tho ground at slight
reduction. The Pennsylvania company
did not do it to-day as their agents had
received no orders in regard to it. They
were also unable to tell which Of the
through trains, if any, would stop. 1t
seems strange that this company is always
behind at the opening of the camp, and
people can obtain little OF no information
on the second day.

THE CROPs.
An Abundant Harvest.

From all parts of the county come the
cheering reports of an abundant harvest.
The wheat which is about all harvested,
is one of the best crops ever raised. Not
only is the yield large but the grain is fine
and expectations are Is bushel to the acre.
Although corn is later than usual, it is show
ing very rapid growth, is of good color and
will be full crop with a few good rains.
Oats is short but will be good crop as
far as the grain goes; straw will not be 80
plentiful. Potatoes are elegant and bid
fair to yield an immense crop in fact all
vegetables are looking we'll, and farmers
are consoling themselves that il they
don't have as much tobacco to sell as they
hoped for, they will have plenty of bread
