human sin in mans history, but all those fearful masses of darkness were design ed to set forth more prominently the brightness, the riches and the glory of Jesus and his righteousness.
 Especial emphasis was placed upon the expression in the text, "Lye more abmdanay." The speaker maintained with logical power, that mans destiny despite the fact of sin was preferable to a life Of untried innocence. And that redeemed souls rise higher in the world to come and in the attitudes of glory, than any other grade of created beings. INCIDENTS.

 The line of march was from the Town Hall park up Main street to the new ron bridge by the Berkshire Woolen mill then countermarching down Main street to the Mahawie cemetery, then re- turning to the Town Hall, where the companies disbanded in order to take dinner and enjoy the hose races.
 In the hall a bountiful dinner was provided not only for the fire compan- ies but also for large number of citi- zens from the surrounding towns in fact all who desired went in and partook of refreshments all the afternoon, and after all had partaken large quantity of food remained.
 Fourteen drum corps and six bands were in the parade and altogether there were not far from thousand men in line.

PINE GROVE CAMP GROUND.

Wednesday was a pleasant day but the attendance was smaller than usual on this day of the week. This was part ly owing to the fact that the frost of Monday morning, warned the farmers that it was time to gather their tobacco crop, consequently there were but few farmers or their families in atten- dance.
 The Bible reading, the general pray CT meeting, the young peoples prayer meeting and the children's meeting were quite well attended and deep in- terest was manifested. Rev Dr G. w. Grover of the Pilgrim Congregational church of Nashua, N. H., preached in the forenoon, Rev Dr D. N. Couch of New York city in the afternoon and Rev J. B. Cross of Pleasant Valley, N. Y, in the evening.
 Thursday was another beautiful day but although the attendance was larger than on Wednesday, it was quite small for Thursday. The Fireman's muster at Great Harrington attracted large number of people who otherwise would have attended camp meeting.
 The morning sermon was preached by Rev J. M. Reed, D D, senior secre- tary of the missionary society. Rev W. w. Clark of Bridgeport preached in the afternoon, and Rev W. c. Oliver of Co., pake, N. Y., in the evening.
 The deep interest in religion mani tested during all the services of this day was remarkable. Those who attended came to worship.
 Friday was very rainy day. Part of the time the rain fell in torrents and the cottage owners at the camp ground con- sidered themselves fortunate in having a good shelter. AS matter of course there were very few transient attendants at the encampment.
 The morning sermon was preached by Rev A. J. Palmer of the Park Ave. M. E. church, New York city. There was no preaching during the afternoon, the rain driving everyone to the cotta- ges or tents, but prayer meeting was held in one of the tents. In the evening the people assembled in the tabernacle tent and listened to an ex- cellent sermon by Rev W. T. Hill of Bridgeport, Ct.
 Saturday morning the clouds indicat- ed rain but the sun finally shone brightly and before noon many teams were on their way to the encampment and the trains brought a good number of camp meeting visitors.
 Rev Wm. Stevens of West Stock bridge, Mass, preached in the morning. His theme was ''The resurrection of the body"
 Rev w. G. Browning of Po'keepsie, N. Y, preached in the afternoon.
 About P M, heavy thunder show CT sent everyone flying for shelter and so drenched the encampment that open air services were dispensed with during the evening but at the regular hour for preaching the people assembled in the tabernacle tent and Rev. E. H. Roys of Millerton, N. Y, preached an excel ent sermon.
 The weather on Sunday was all that could be desired. At an early hour the rush began for the encampment and all the highways were thronged with vehi- cles of every description and the pedes- trians came from all directions. The Sunday train from Bridgeport was near lY an hour late and brought II CAT lnada

 Rev Robert Hunt of Fishkill-on-the Hudson preached In the evening. There was an unusually large audience for the last night of the meeting and marked attention was given to the ser mon.
 The text was John X, 10.
 The speaker stated that the first plain and palpable truth contained in the passage is the melan cholly fact that we are fallen, ex posed to adverse and destructive infu-- ences and also the possibility of escape and the infinite tenderness of God who so loved the world as to give his son to die for mans redemption.

The Army Worm.

~ ~ reportoo tnot INC cut-Woru nus
made its appearance at Temescal and
Riverside, and is doing considerable
damage to the vineyards of those re.
gions. And now swarms OF worms are
on the march, destroying every green
thing between East Los Angeles and
Pasadena. A gentleman who resides
some miles above East Los Angeles, fur
nishes the information that the whole
region named is being overrun by these
pests. He seems TO think them the
army worm, with which he became
familiar years since in the East. Their
first appearance was upon cabbage
plants, as small black worm, stripping
the leaves entire; but growing and in
creasing in numbers, they assume the
appearance of black caterpillars, and
travelling with rapidity and with uni
form instinct. depredats upon every
green growth in their way. 1t is also
stated that these same pests have made
their appearance below Los Angeles, but
as yet have done no serious damage to
the vineyards. The only remedy against
them suggested. so far as is known, is by
irrigation, or inundatiog the land in
their course of march. In the vicinity
Of Los Angeles this would seem to be a
sure aud speedy method Of destruction;
but in places where irrigation is not pos
sible, perhaps, the only recourse will be
that resorted to by the farmers of the
Northwest in like emergencies. Sew
eral burrows are plowed in the line Of
march of the army-worm, and re.plowed
until the soil becomes so mellow and
pliabe that the worms can travel over il
only with the utmost difficulty, and as
they accumulate upon the furrows are
narrowed into timely graves. 1t is de.
sirablc that those who possess practical
knowledge Of methods of destroying
these deadly pests should make them
known to the public. and for that pur-
pose the columns of the HERALD are Of
fered as an open and extensive medium.
