We copy the following from the Andover News, N. Y.:
 A Memorable Occasion.-On Thurs day, August 29, there was quite gath ering at the residence of MT D. B. Spaulding, it being the 99th birthday of his mother, Mrs Thankful Spaulding. It is seldom indeed that we see person of Mrs Spaulding's age retain all their mental and physical powers as we'll. But few of her near relatives are living in this vicinity, the most of them being in Connecticut or west. From family of six children, four are living; it is hoped should she see another birthday, they will all be present. Mrs Spauld- ing seemed to enjoy the visit as much as any of the party, and although quite tired at night, was up and dressed her. self in time to breakfast with the family Friday morning.
 We copy this thinking many readers of this paper were once acquainted with 'Aunt Thankful" as we all called her. She is the widow of the late Daniel Sparkling, who owned and oc- cupied for many years the farm now owned by Dr Clemans, midway between here and Canaan Valley.

typhoid fever, at the age of 59 years. The funeral was attended from the residence of Mir Eli Sherman Monday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev O. H. Reynolds officiating. MT Wolfe was an old resident of the place and was em- ployed at the Ames Iron Works for some years. He was man of strict veracity, diligent in business, an indul- gent parent, and we feel safe in saying without an enemy in the wide world. He leaves two sons and two daughters, who will much miss him. The cere- monies were closed at the grave in Grassy Hill cemetery, to which spot many teams formed in procession to pay their last respects to the departed rela- tive and friend.
 Between two and three o'clock Sun day afternoon, the telegraph and tele- phone office was entered by some sneak thief, and after ransacking things pretty thoroughly in the offices and securing little change from the till, they entered the room occupied by the operators as sleeping apartments, where they met with better success, securing nearly $125 belonging to the operators, which had been left in the bureau drawers. Of all the robberies that have occurred in this vicinity it seems to us this is not ouly the boldest, but the meanest, as the young ladies work hard for their money and can ill afford to lose it in this manner.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
Concerning Camp Meeting.

A Methodist minister recently told the editor of THE NEWS that, "soon after the Pine Grove camp meeting of the year 1888 closed, the list of converts was sent to the Methodist ministers throughout the district They examined the list and found it contained many fictitious names. They could locate only one convert in the whole Housatonic valley, and that one proved to be 8 person who had previously joined, on probation, the Methodist church at Ct Burlington" After hearing the fore going statement, it is encouraging to learn, from Rev Robert Hunts letter, published elsewhere, that even two persons were converted at Pine Grove last season and that they actually joined the church at Pawling.
 THE NEWS endeavors to give correct report of whatever events it's readers will be interested in, camp meeting included. After the recent camp meeting closed at Pine Grove, the editor of THE NEWS asked Methodist minister how many were converted at Pine Grove this season? The minister replied, lover 100 persons, but you can say about 100 con- versions" The editor subsequently ask ed another Methodist minister the same question, but he replied, "I do not know" Then the editor told him what the other minister said. He replied, "I don't believe it. I don't believe there is any such number of converts" He then mentioned, as 8 reason for doubting that 100 persons were converted at Pine Grove this season. the result, in the Housatonic Valley, of the Pine Grove camp meeting of 1888. Notwithstand- ing this difference of opinion between ministers, THE NEWS gave the camp meeting the benefit of the doubt and on Aug 2S published the fact that the number of converts at the recent camp meeting at Pine Grove was stated to be about 1OO
 THE NEWS does not propose to discuss the merits or demerits of Pine Grove camp meetings, but Rev Robert Hunts letter seems to make it incumbent upon us to at least mention that there is 8 difference of opinion even among Methodist ministers concerning the result of said camp meetings, and per. haps we ought to say that many who tacitly consent to the week day camp meetings are strongly opposed and out. spoken against the Sunday camp meet ings There is still another class who honestly believe that the evil committed at camp meetings overbalances the good accomplished.

RET. ROBERT HUNTS LETTER

Editor of the Neacs:
 It has been some little time since have contributed to your paper, which is always welcome visitor at the par sonage. The gleanines which go to make up the interesting contents of THE NEWS are gathered from fields with which I am very familiar, and deeply interested. Every issue of your paper contains some items to gladden. or sadden, as events of joy or sorrow are reported.
 The account given in THE NEWS of the late Pine Grove camp meeting ap- peared to me to be very good, and some observations in regard to the attitude of the Methodist people toward the meet ing were wise and sharp. Unfortunately some honest differences of opinion exist respecting methods of running it, and respecting Sunday camp meeting, con- sequently there has not been the interest taken in the meeting for several years that was manifest in it's earlier career. But after all, good is done at Pine Grove camp meeting. for which we should be thankful. I received last year into my church at Pauling two very excellent persons who were con. vented at Pine Grove. One hundred conversions is 8 noble harvest of souls for 8 weeks effort by the christian people gathered there. It would be 8 loss to the churches on the Poughkeep- sic district and to the cause of Christ in the Housatonic valley to discontinue the Pine Grove camp meeting. I know of no other religious assemblage, held from year to year, in Western Connecti- cut, or Western Massachusetts, or East ern Duchess or Eastern Columbia county, N. r., of equal importance and interest, and Methodist people, as you forcibly observed in your paper, should support it. If they do not, who will ?
 My son, Eugene, who came north on 8 very sensible errand, returns with his bride, to Minneola, Fla, Sept 9th. He and Preston Hunt are delighted with the prospect of their section in Florida, having now two railroads running through or near their lands. There is a first class hotel on Lake Mlnneola, where the readers of THE NEWS who may visit Florida the coming winter would find admirable entertainment, hunting and fishing unsurpassed, etc.
 Yours as ever, R. HUNT.
