At Eight this morning, we closed our camp meeting. A few had experienced religion. About 40 at the sacrament, Sunday. In the number, quite a pro- portion children, say 20 students from the Institute. Yet the congregation appeared respectable in deportment and intelligence. Good will result from this meeting. Tuesday, 8. We are at our room, so much controversy in the family, we hardly dare come within sight or hear- ing of the man of the house, lest we should be either scared or afflicted with his scolding. In counsel some about going to the Falls to board.
