 Considerable interest and discussion is excited here over the difficulty growing out of the arrest of parties at the Willi- mantle camp ground. The officers com plained of are well known in this locality, and neither of them would be expected to be over officious or rough in enforcing reg ulations. The chief, MT. Perkins, would be considered as more apt to lean to the other extreme, and handle offenders with gloved hands. It is probable that the difficulty grew out of mutual irritation. The officers from the needless walking about of persons disposed not to heed reg ulAtiOns necessary to secure quiet to those wishing to worship, and thus led to accost the Lincoln party, who. were really on their way to seats. The latter, irritated by what they regarded as over ofhciousness, were in no mood to receive graciously the second interference, especially as the seat occupied was rear one, and no one dis canmoded by the lady's not sitting down. The parties offending were not of the class who would designedly transgress any rule of the Rrodnd, and the sympathy of the people of WilIimantic is unquestionably strong in their favor. The camp meeting association feels constrained to back up it's officers, and bad feeling is likely to be intensified.
