rrETHODrsTs Ar WORSHIP.

Large Numbers Attend the Meetings of
 the P1ainvilIe Camp meetfng-Un-
 usually Interesting Services.
 Large crowds visited the Plainville camp meeting yesterday. Many additional private tents have been put up. The grounds are dry and hard, and all who are at the grounds seem happy. Three mails day are received and sent away at the secretary's office at the preachers quarters. Quiet prevails and order is strictly observed. The services are more interesting, spiritually, than for some years past. The difficulty of making
 announcements for future preaching ser
 vices lies in the fact that it is not always
 known for certain that the appointees can
 be present.
 Tuesday night sermons were delivered by the Rev. MT. MeMullen, of Hamden, in the Plainville tent, and by the Rev. Mir. Gun ningham, of Meriden, in the Meriden tent Hearty prayer services were held later in the society tents.
 Yesterday forenoon the Rev. R. s. Pard- | ington, of Waterbury, preached powerful sermon to nearly 700 people, and many were deeply affected. His theme was "The power | from on high,U and his text was Luke xxtv, 40, Yesterday afternoon 1t 2i90,
 the Rev. MT. Bfeekihfidge, of Meriden, delivered the sermon to at least 900 people. For last evenings sermon the audience lis tened to the Rev. MT, Markwtek, of Yales= | vile, at 7i30.
 Last evening at o'clock there was q young peoples prayer service at the Middle l field tent, and was led by the Rev. MT. Kid | der and others, It was unusually interesting | and well worth attending. An immense crowd of visitors is expected | on the grounds to-day.

 Members of the Ingerson and Mitchell pha- lanxes say that there is no ill feeling between the members of those corps, and that the re port to that effect is without foundation. All is harmonious between the two corps. There is nothing but fair and well ordered rivalry, creditable alike to both.

FLIES AND mOsoUTTOEs.

 A MOurnful Protest Against Summer
 Hotel F1Ies-A Cloud of MOsquitoes-
 Travellers Experience Near New
 Haven.
 A mournful hotel boarder writes to one of the State papers a protest against hotels which abound in flies and particularly hotel dining rooms which abound in flies. The correspondent objects strenuously to flies being served in tea and coffee, in which posi- ton she is unquestionably right, and she thinks it not unjust to require hotel keepers to keep their dining rooms tolerably free from flies, since she thinks this boon can easily be obtained. The correspondent pa thetieally says: The swarms that meet one at hotel dining rooms morning, noon and night, b1aekening the tableeloth, standing every where where they should not, served up in the choice viands of the kitchen, apparently cooked with them, and bathing in ones tea and coffee, are, to say the least, not appetiz= ing and probably cause more complaints than all the rest of the iheenvenienees put together
 while away from home. It does seem as if
 while they might be excluded Tt least from
 the kitchens and dining rooms by wire
 screens, which afe now so cheap and plenty
 and to be had at days notice, that the
 keepers of summer resorts might add to their own reputation and the comfort of their
 guests by making them so easily eontented
 and happy.
 The above reminds New Haven man of the mosquito grievance, He says; I was travelling the other day about five miles from New Haven's City Hall, together with a
 friend. We came to a long and rolling sec
 ton, thick with bushes which grew close | together, and seemed to have taken
 a contract to occupy every available inch of ground. It was low ground, somewhat in
 clined to be marshy,, on either side of the \ road. Our horse, a black, usually very tract | able and moderate in gait, suddenly gave strong evidence of disquietude. We also began to sympathize for we began de ' lending ourselves from clouds of mosquitoes. | We slapped and brushed and brushed and \ slapped, and still fresh arrivals came from | out the brush or bushes We chanced to \ look at our poor steed and we will be sworn \ that the horse looked actually as if it was of \ a dark brown color. There was myriad of | mosquitoes upon him. We were so torment | ed ourselves that all we could do was to drive II fast and the horse responded with great alac- rity to the whip. On emerging from the brush-tangled region fresh breeze struck us and we got clear of the mosquitoes. On the way through the mosquito land we glanced across at a summer cottage near a point of land. A painter was at work on 8 scaffold painting the house. He was envelop-
 ed in mosquito netting; and we afterward learned from him that he would not have work
 ed there without the netting to protect him for $50 day. He knew whereof he spoke,
 as the first days experience at painting the house amply demonstrated. The next morning he had rushed for store and bought plenty of mosquito netting.
