The camp meeting Of the United Breth-

doah Valley Assembly, at Mt. Jackson,
commenced on Tuesday the 18th, continu-
ing until Friday the 9th, was one Of the
most successful and well attended meet
ings ever held at that place. Over three
thousand people were present on Sunday,
the excursion train from Winchester and
intermediate points consisted Of coaches
filed to their utmost capacity, one Lun-
dred and fifty five getting on at this point.
The train from above brought still larger
crowd, while an immense number Of We
hicles Of every description poured their
thousands of passengers into the spacious
grounds. The grounds were in fine cond-
ton, everything being well and conve-
niently arranged, notwithstanding the
large number present the best Of order
was preserved. A number Of eminent
ministers preached most able and instruc-
tive sermons to large and deeply interested
congregations. The only drawback or
disagreeable feature during the day was
the ungentlemanly conduct OF some young
men on the train. These creatures who
have no regard for themselves or the
presence of ladies should be severely dealt
with, and If they had been kicked of the
cars it would have served them just right

week after his terrible punishment by the
enraged insects. The poor animal suffer

can be repeated several times until the

The Shenandoah County Fair is the
best advertised exhibition in the State.
Less than half dozen men will be en-
titled to whatever of credit may be due
when the time arrives for the fair. The
president, for whom so much was promis-
ed by his friends, has done as near to 0 as
possible without doing less. The stoc k
assets of the concern are just where they
were when he was elected. But there is
still some determination. vim and push
among the directors which encourage us
to hope for a successful initiation of the
enterprise. Without the labor which
these men have bestowed upon the work,
the county would certainly be placed in
an attitude of disgrace through failure.
