toNCER>lNG TIE CAMP GROUSE. The Gurk,-
port Clipper of last week published An article On
the Northport Camp Ground, referring to the eyil,
which have invaded the place in the form Of row
dyism and lawlessreSs, referring to the tlefacira,
of Mr.. Ruggles cottage, the mockingand shouincat
preachers and singers, with other serious annoy-
ances, and calling for prompt anl strong measures
us the only salvation of the place. The Clipper
says that
By the aid of certain Waldo county officials two
or three rumseilers have been able to turn that
place from quiet and orderly resort for Chris
lanS and peaceful women and children, into ont.
given over t" great extent, to bad men and wo-

Eastern Maine, yet at their very gates, satan
ereCs his stronghold and SO far, has sutcpsSfnlly

AS consequence, the Northport Camp Ground
as Nlcthodlsts Of the oldcn time knew it, is thing
of the past, and many respectable people csrcriaf
~ those who are bringing up boys and girls, avoid
it, seeking other resorts. Go where you will alol~
the coast Of Maine, not another place with so had
reputation can be found. Look at Ca9tinc Isles
boro, Hughes Point Deer Isle, Verona Bdleford
Pool, Old Orchard, Bar IIarbor Wells Reach the
Islands in Portland Iarbor, Camden, and other re-
sorts, and tell us if there be place among
them where the rough element carries itself with
as high hand as it does in Norhport,
Satan there has stopped the sale of house lot-
taken money from the treasury, reduced the value
of every cottage inside and outside the grounds
AMI all the while the Methodists have stooti,i BY
The place can be purified. Go straight 10 the
Waldo County Sheriff, We Methodists, and find out
from him If he will keep his oath Of Office. If he
WON'T go TO the Governor ask him to enforce the
law down there and keep the rum-sc!lcls out, and
then prefer your charges against the Waldo Coun
ty men for neglecting to perform the duties Of
their Offices Go TO the newspaper offices ami AK
them to altt YOU and If one should rt fuse to cham
pion so good a cause, let it be known. Bangor
brewer, Bucksp0rt, Winterport, IlHmpdon, Sears
port, Belfast, Camden, Rockland, Watervlle ani
many smaller places have great interest in tire
Northport Camp Ground, and no doubt would aid
in general Improvement movement. Let the
olhclals the church officers and the pastors unite
ana decide upon plan, and then believe GOV.
Burlesh will aid them if the Waldo County of.
ticals will not
