CAMPMEETING.-The annual grove
gathering of the Methodist church of
the st. Johnsbury district was held
last week, nearly all the churches of
the district being represented by tent
delegations. The weather opened cold
and the attendance during the early
part of the week was small. Later
very large number came and the
congregations, day and evening,
were large. Presiding Elder Granger
managed the meeting with tact and
wisdom and they were attended with
much religious interest.
Among the clergymen present and
participating in the meetings were
Rev. Messrs. III. A. Spencer, Presid-
ing Elder of the Montpelier district !;
R. Morgan, of the st. Adams dis
trict; w. r. Puffer, Peter Merrill,

grower great advantage in marketing his
fruit. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Marshal,
has only consumed one third Of his abundant
crop for inc. The balauce has for the
most part been marketed He is still
holding grapes which are not fully ripe, to
ship later in the season.
When vineyard becomes healthy aud
we'll started it is certainly the safest and
most profitable Of crops. A drought does
not InJufe grapes but rather benefits them
as there is little danger Of bursting or rot-
ting, which is caused by prolonged wet
spells. The desire for vineyards is rapidly
increasing and land !9sp 9Qp Ra5isy syr%YSR r%YSRnrhete-
has increased from SO so an acre to s75.
These mountain lands are peculiarly adapted
to grape culture. The drainage is better
and the vines on the Southern slopes not
only get plenty of sunshine but are pro-
tected from the cold Northern frosts in
winter.
Mr. Marshallwill utilize the pulp and hulls
ofthc grapes for making French brandy, as
they are excellent for this purpose. After
they have been employed in this way
good vinegar can be made with them. Mr..
Marshall will establish a distilcry next year
for making the brandy. He will also plant
twelve additional acres in grapes. his wine

and there is little system of waterworks

There is growing disposition among
our citizens to go into grape raising, and

CONGRESSMAN EvINs ON THE NATION
AL SITUATIoN.--The Hon. j. II. Evius
OF Spartanburg, S. c., is at the Pal.
mcr H,use. Mr.. Evins represented the
Fourth Congressional District Of his State
in the Forty fifth, Forty sixth and Forty
seventh Congresses, and has been re elected
to tho Forty.cishth. In conversation last
evening with reporter Of the Tribune he
said he came up from home to attend tho
Louisville Exposition, and thought he would
run up and take look at Chicago. Speak.
ing of the Presidential nomination, he said
that he believed Mcdonald of Indiana found
been strong feeling for Bayard in South
Carolina in 1880, and Senator Hampton was
still for him, but he did not believe he was
practicability now. Senator Mcdonald
was strong man, against whom nothing
could be said. He woull command the con.
fidence Of the business classes, who were
really the balance of power. Especially his
stand for hard money in tho days of green.
back craze would be a tower Of strength to
him. Mr.. Evins is pronounced against
MIR. Randall, and does not think that he
will pan out. Personally, he says, he likes
Randall, but he believes that the Democrat
ic party cannot afford to elect him, know
his views on the tariff question. If elected
Speaker the same tactics might BE- expected
that had been seen in previous Congresses,
when Randall had so manipulated the Com.
mittec on Ways and Means as to cffectually
strangle all tariff legislation. Mr. Evins
said that ae thought that this question
would come up again next Winter, and,
while the party would do nothing rash,
yet there would be an effort to secure some
genuine reform. The last bill had literally
accomplished nothing in that direction-in
fact, some duties have been increased. 1t
was not the bill of either House, but tho
creation of the Conference Committee, and
rushed through under the gag rule. The
Democratic party could not afford to be pas.
s,ve on this issue. The cxpediency policy
had been pursued long enough and had only
led to defeat. Those Democrats who bsd
taken manly staEd for tariff .eform had
won on it. aud while he was not in favor Ct
radical legislation. he believed the party
ought to define its policy on this question
in no uncertain sounds. II was better even
to wear temporary defeats, fighting for a
principle, than to try and win by dodging,

The CHOLERA Next YEAR.-We have
previously stated that it is improbable chat
cholera will reach the United States this
year, but it is an even chance that we shall
have it next year. Since that opinion was
published the danger has diminished
very little, if any, and while there is
not the slightest occasion for panic, there
is very urgent need for enforcing cleanliness,
in looking to the purity of water supply
aud of great care in tie administration of
our quarantine stations. Nedical Ne,os.

BLAZING OIL.-New York August %.
"A fire broke out shortly after II o'clock

Over 100 men and boys are employed in

rapidly and the shop was soon seethiug

department was totally unable to cope. The
tin shop, building IT'S by $50 feet, next
caught fire and was followed by the barrel
shop, about the same size. The flames
next spread to one of the largest agtators
in the yard, containing $4,000 barrels of
oil. The Brooklyn Fire, Department was
called on for aid and several engines
quickly responded, but although they
worked hard tho flames spread in every
direction. The Howe Lard Oil Works

been caused by a workman accidentally
dropping hot soldering iron into an oil can.
New York, August 22-Night.-The
fire at the Empire Oil Works burned
with great ferocity throughout the after
noon and was not subdued until o'clock.
The efforts Of the iremen prevented the
flames from spreading beyond the buildings
occupied by the company on whose premises
tho fire broke out. The damage is va,
riously estimated at from 5000, 600 to $780,
600. There was no insurance. When the
fire broke out there were several vessels at
the companys docks, and several of them
were loaded with OIL Fortunately two
tug boats were near at hand, and the vessels
were towed out of danger.

TIE AMERICAN DEAD SEA.-Says a

bow splowed through the water millions Of
small diptera (aics) would rise from the
water where they were resting, and cover
the bow Of the boat till qu rts of them
could be collected. Wherever we went we
observed til, same thing. The water Of
the Lake is their home, and they are as
much at ease sitting on the water as
skipper il on an Eastern pond. In some
places when it is calm these flies darken
the water fer miles. Here (not on the
beach) they lay eggs here they hatch, and
here the larvae live by the million till ready
for the pupa state, when they attach them.

in the water) and r.main till they emerge
as perfect flies. TIL larvae doubtless prey
on the strange little shrimps that live in

these, s'there is scarcely place in the lake
where bucket of water can be dipped

should call this "dcad sea-" for though
the number Of species does not exceed ten
or fifteen, there is no lake, fresh or salt, in
the world that contains half as many living
things as the Great Salt Lake.
