Both state and church may give fame to
individual oris a name.. The atate gave
fame to Washington, Lincoln and Grant
the church 'gave fame to Lntber, Calvin and
Wesley, and now. In this day and a-enera-
tions too Methodist Church has given fame
to the name of
Newtox HatttLTO.
Throughout the length and breadth of
Methodism the name of Newton Hamilton
ia known aa en of the great religious ram-
mar resorts of . Methodist people. The
name-is derived from town of about four
hundred Inhabitants, en the slope of the
west bank of the Juniata river about sixty
five miles from its confluence with the Sus
quehanna. The inhabitants have lost trace ot
the early days vf the place, and it was from
J. A. R'jss', who was born near Thompson
town, thin county, ttjat We learned much of
the early history of Newton Hamilton.' Mr.
Ross lived in the place before be bad at
tained hia majority, and built tbe large atone
house opposite the Miller Hotel in 1838. At
that time he was working on the canal at a
dollar a day, under Governor Ritner'a ad
ministration. 1 he atonea for hia bouse were
brought down tbe river from Jack's Nar
rows on a Bat, and unloaded on the river
bank, and at night, after be had finished hia
day'e work on tbe canal, ho hauled atonea
op from the river to the house. Tbe place
used to be called Hamiltonville, and long
ago, in 1753, it was a trading post under tbe
name of Muhlenberg. The Hamiltons came
in there, bought tbe land and some of
them are there yet end changed the name
twice, as above indicated. Tbe theology of
the town ia Methodist and Presbyterian.
Aa to which of the two churches Newton
Hamilton, tiie pertcs afletswhoa the town
has last been named, belonged is not known,
or was not told ds. When we stepped out
of the cara at the place, laat Sabbath morn
in 5 about 10 o'clock, the first words that
we beard above the general bum of con
versation of fourteen hundred people was the
voice of W. D. Cramer, saying, " Please
move along briskly ; there are several other
trains waiting to unload." And that is tbe
way &ar)y people came to
Camp Meetixo.
Ten tbonsand people were there laat Sab
bith. Five thousand came in the cars, two
thousand were there in tents, and three
thousand came there in vehicles and on foot.
Th'ero were about forty preachers compre
hsbded within that multitude, tf the peo
ple hfid been divided up into religions con
gregations it would cave given each preach
er a Cock of about two nuodrca ana any oi
congregation. If s'uen ah assembly hsd
been suggested for a Sabbath day, seventy-
five years ago, tbe fathers would have mar
veled over the auggestion ; but aa gunpow
der came Along and revolutionised the
methods of warfare, and placed everybody
on a level ia battle, for everybody that can
point a gun can shoot and kill, ao railroads
came along and revolutionised the methods
of travel, and placed everybody on a level
aa to their ability to ride ; everybody that
can Cet on a car can ride. In tbe days of
the fathers only auch as had burses and car
riages could ride to "meeting" on Pabbath
day. Open air meetings, meetings under tbe
trees, csmp meetings, have an easier nisr
lory thsn Newton Hamilton, nnlesa the Ham
iltons go bsck to Adam to start their an
cestry. Csmp meetings, peinaps, too, go
tht fir hark, and when tbe testimony of
th. meetings of the past are all in and
summed np he will be a bold man that will
say that the greatest number of good peo
ple have worshipped in bouses. A duck
may be raised on a bill, but once it finds its
way to water It will go to the water often
if it ia not restrained J so with men, yon
may raise them in houses, and in church
buildings in cities, but ohfce they Bod the
way to the wooda tbey will go there often

ebrations and camp meetings j it ia the nat
ural love of outdoor life. House-lile is ae
quired, under the necessity of climate in
fluence, or other influences. When Nine
veh was bmlt, twenty jars after the confri
aion of tongues St Babel, a grand temple
six hundred and aixty feet high waa put np
in the city, and the image of Baal in gold
forty feet high was placed in the temple.
But that does not prove that people should
warship in bouses; if it proves anything
it proven that tbe first people that worabip
ned iu a-rand houses were idolaters. Asbur,
tbe grandson of Noah, built Nineveh on a
grand scale. Its walla were a hundred feet
high, and it ws a walk or ride at hun
dred ihites around tbe place. But where
was tbe crowd worshipping that had jour
neyed aw at from tbe tower and city of
Babel t In grovea, under the trees, in camp
meetings. Where did Abrahadi, who came
more than one hundred years after tLe
building of Niueveh with its grand temple,
worship t From Abraham to David, a pe
riod of a thousand vears where did the
people of feod worship? The grandest
temples of antiquity were placea for idol
iters to worship Christianity came a.ong
in its plsinest garb and destroyed the grand
Pagan temples, wherever it could reach
them, with all their rich paintings and mag
nificent statuary, and for years tbe goapel

men were employed on the farm of Mr.
White, located some sixteen miles from
Sbarpsburg, on tbe Kittanmng road. Tbe
machine waa being operated at s very high
rate of speed, and some of the bearings be
came so hot that the fire communicated to
the grain which wis being fed into the
thresher. John CoUyer, one of the persons
employed at the machine fliat noticed the
burning and, attempted to extinguish tbe
tismea. In hia efforts be was caught by the
machinery, and one leg waa crushed to a
jeUy. The other foot was also cruahed and'
amputation of the leg and foot waa render

fa in tbe tnfdat of a square wooda of thirty
acrea. The direction ia alufost due west
from the railroad, between which and the
woods is a small clearing. From the rail
road gate to the titriber two rows of maple
tree, bavn been planted. The trees are
growing, and ia a few years a perfectly
shaded walk wiU extend from the station to
the grove. As we passed np the avenue
between the trees, on Sabbath morning, we
almost ran against Conrad, of the McVey-
town Mrul. He was basking in the aoaae
of one f the little trews; the ehade was
about a'a large as that cast by a lady'a para
sol. He kindly took us up to camp, and aia
nit sioD till we stood in "tabernacle circle."
All camp meeting people call the squares of
the camp "circlea." They are noi circles ,
ther are aquarea. Tabernacle square is
roofed, so that during rainy weather meet
ing can be held in tbe dry. Several of the
trees have been left standing in the square
tfnd the roof built around ,them. On the
four aides of the square are the two-atory
hnnaea or tents, white-waebed. Every tent
fronts on a aqnare. Square No. I is en tbe
south, side or Tabernacle .square; square
No. 2 ia oft tbe north side of Tabernacle
of Tabernacle square. Tbe last-mentioned
squares ate like Tabernacle square, except
ing that tbe trees have not been cot out of
them, and the seats are built under tbe treea,
and the places are not roofed. The tents,
like tbe first square mentioned, all face in
ward. If yon desire tto find a particular
tent yon must know whst circle or square it
ia in in No. I, I, 8, or Tabernacle square.
From Tabernacle square or circle Conrad
led tbe way to square No. 1, where Pro
fessor Sllebberger was leading a choir in
ainglng. It waa 10 o'clock then Conrad
ear?, "I'll travel." We said, "I'll ait down."
Conrad traveled, and we aat down by the
aide of t
A Gxat-Hareb Man,
who soon began to talk. He said, " Tod
are s Stranger in these parts." We gave aa
affirmative Bod of the head. He continued,
"Yon are fond of music." We "gave an
other nod. with the expectation of having
tbe queafions pat to aa in great numbers,
but, to oar surprise, be stopped the ques
tions, and added, "I don't like the singing
It is pretty weU done, but there isn't that
unction in it that there used to be in the old
camp meeting music when all tbe congrega
tion sang." Our experience in bearing
camp meeting music waa ao limited that we
could neither aay yea, or no, to the " unc
tion" that the old gentleman spoke of. Mr.
John GraybiU walked around with na to
Eqcaee No. 2,
where Rev. Mr. Hamlin had been announced
to preach at 10 o'clock. A large sudienoe
assembled to hear the sermon. The seats
were all taken np. the choir, during the
service, was led by Mr. Baker, of Newton
Hamilton. . Hr. Hamlin waa on time and
preached from John 8rd chapter 16th verse :
"for Ood to loitd tht world that ht gmt ha
onl-f begotten Son, that whotoatr kelitvtth in
him thould not perUk, but kar tverlatting
lift."
It waa the great sermc'n Of the day. The
Theme, Human redemption by the redeem
ing power of God's lore, was (resented in
its most attractive msnner, and the influ
ence of the love theory wsa plainly to be
seen on tbe countenances ot the bearers.
:- In tbe i dart of ihe fathers 'aometimea it
became necessary to resort to peculiar way
ai.d means to bring an audience to decorous
conduct. For example, on one occasion
Rer. Graver, to bring a bevy of young
Iad'.ea to reverential attention, stopped
preaching and said, "If tbe young ladies that
are standing on the benches, talking, could
aee the boles in their stockings, they would
sit down and be quiet." Dr. Hamlin was
driven to no such expedients last Sabbath.
Tbe large audience was decorous. Tbe ser
mon laa.ed till high noon. Preaching waa
also held in Square No. 1 at tbe same hour
that Rev. Mr. Hamlin preached. If tbe as
sembly at tbe preaching place was large, it
still afforded no standard by which a cor
rect idea or knowledge of the large
Crowd
of people that bad gathered in tbe woods
coul'i be obtained. It was only when
'one stepped out of tBa precincts of the
squarea, to the rear of tbe tents, and
then and there, as one walked in the
oods did tbe number of the multitude
enlsrge in his mind to something like its
real site. Hundreds of people brought
their dinners with them, and sat about un
der the trees eatbing. Hundreds of others
walked about, or sat about and talked. The
crowd waa an American crowd all Chris- J
tlahs; or nearly all so, that hoped for a
blessed immortality in tbe world to come ; 1
a Protestant crowd, that resents the thought
of idol worship, and if Asbur's massive
golden image of 40 feet high had been aet
np lb the woods in would have been quickly
biuken to pieces, and the proceeds appro
priated to improvements on tbe camp meet
ing grounds, aud for railroads and horses
And carriages, so as to increase the factlitiea
with which to get to camp meeting. It waa
a crowd that resented the thought, and still
more tbe practice of the system of theology
that a priest or idol can come in as an inter
mediary between God aud man to forgive
sins. Some were, there that forgot their
manhood aud misbehaved, but tbe number
was not large. Where . ia that number not
found 1 Tbe crowd embraced people of all
ages, from Ihe infant to the aged man and
woman. Almost every shsde .of complex
ion was there, such s crowd as will aitrge
before tbe great white throne bn the day
for which all other days were made, the judg,
tneot day. The policemen on duty report
that they experienced little trouble with
the crowd in the grove. It is a great place
I or love making, but what place is not where
the aeXes are brought into association t T
our certain knowledge we know of seviral
marriage that grew entirely out of people
attending church and carrying on a flirta
tion with the eves. We eould cite a case of
a man who waa determined to win a certain
girl for a wife. He was not on speaking
terms with her. He attended church where
ahe did. and took a seat every Sunday
where be could look her ih tbe face. By
and by ahe looki-d at him, and looked again
and again, and they looked at each other
till they determined to become acquainted,
and alter that it waa not long till the preach
trr was called in to marry them. Police
men say that the greatest difficulty is to
keen people from talking. A hundred per-
auual incidents of s harmless character that
occurred among the people could be men
tioned. The quaintest ono took place in s
circle of men in which waa Officer SSmUel
Lapp and eX-SheriT Walls, of this Coan-
TKe rroiin had become tired stand-
ingand were seated, engaged in conver
sation far enough away from the tents
that the murmur of thtir conversation
could tiot be heard by people in and
about tbe inner court. Hundreds of others
were sealed in tbe same way close by. Sud
denly an object fell in the fiYtdst of the
group. All cvea were turned upon it.
Whence it came no one could tell. Une
glance was sufficient to identify it- It waa
tbe heel off a woman's shoe. The coming
of the heel, if it had been anywhere else.
would have produced a hearty langb, but in
suet a presence the crowd could only smile.
Some one suggested that the heel bo pock-
tl and taken home as a memento, but
officer Lapp disposed of the memento ang
restioa bv declaring that " thia ia a crowd
of ma tried mtm, and the man that takea Ihe
heel borne in bis pocket and allows his wife
to find it, though he be aa pure a man
Joseph, will raise such a time of domestic
infelicity that no will never afterwards want
to hear of a camp meeting." The heel was

The question of President Judge in thia
district ia the subject of ao amall interest to
tiie legal fraternity. There aeems to be no
trouble in the way for Judge Joskin to re
ceive the nomination of bia party for re
election, but the queation of a party nomi
nation amont the Democracy ia not ao
clearly foreshadowed, because of the mul
tiplicity of candidates ; that is, if all tbe
men whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the nomination are in point
ot fact candidates. It is said that tbe Dem
ocracy will have in the field as candidates
E. S. Doty, A. J. Patteraon, Chas. A. Bar

side by side at a counter where one of the
number had hung ber umbrella by toe han
dle. Another laid down ber pocket-book,
but wban search was made a few minutes

lady waa accused of iT'?5 V'n,er. ,M WM
arrested and searched, but t5r'is4inK
property could not be found, and she waa
discharged, still resting under suspicion.
Some time after reaching home the owner
of the umbrella discovered that the pocket
book had fallen into it and hsd been utK.on.

The Huntingdon Globe says: "Talking
about big crops, a correspondent sends as
tbe following from Huntingdon Furnace :
We see many accounts of big crops having
been raised in Blair county, and in justice
to tbe Mother of Little Blair, we give an
item in tbe way of oats, and when our crops
are tbieshed out will give you aouie bigger
reports of wheat and rye. Hr. Amoa Har
per, farmer of one of the Huntingdon Fur
nace farms, sowed twelve pounds of Russia
white oats on one-sixth of an a4re. He
threshed ont the crop on last Saturday, and
bad from the twelve pounds of oats sowed,
eighteen bushels clean oats by measure.
weighing thirty-seven and one-third pounds

bushels good, clean oats from twelve pound
