13. According to arrangements tile opening service of the camp was conducted last evening by Dr. Matlack, preaching from Daniel 12 3. The sermon was a fort-able presentation of tlie Christian's bligation and fitness to win souls. The sermon was followed by a abort prayer meeting, led by Rev.

N. M. The congregation was umtsually large for the first service. This morning there the ground the following ministers Matlack, Browne, Killlam, Pegg, Kemp, Davis, Layfield. Btengie, Mann, Thomas and Bigg.

An interesting meeting was led this morniug at ti o'clook by Rev. L. W. Layfield. At 8J o'clock, the regular prayer service was conducted by Rev.

W. L. S. Murray. The weather is most delightful, and even at this early stage of the meeting many visitors are on the ground.

Several of other denominations are tented with ps. At a. Rev. T. B.

Killiam of Rising Sun Circuit preaohed from James 2: 22. His theme was "The characterise ol an incomplete faith." The sermon was earnestly presented and well received by a large congregation. At 2) p. Rev. K.

A. D. Davis of Zion Circuit preached an effective sermon, causing considerable of a stir by his terse and forcible appeals. This morning al o'clock the tabernacle service was led by Rev. T.

B. Killiam of Rising Sun circuit. The a. m. meeting was largely attended, led by Rev.

J. D. Kemp of Chesapeake City. One peculiarity of this camp is that the people seem to realise the fact that it is a duty to attend the meetings. At 10.30 o'clock a carefully prepared sermon was Bain, of Fairmoont, to a fine congregation, on the words of the Savior: "The hairs of your head are all numbered." Mr.

Bain is a mau of about 35 years of age, a native of Virginia, and a rising man in the conference. At p. rn. an interesting children's eeting was held in charge of Rev. W.

Layfield of Bethel church. The music was in charge of A. C. Garry, of Port Deposit. At 3 p.

m. a fine sermon was preached by Rev. A. Steugle ofCrisfield, from Matt. 20: 23.

L. S. Murray, the popular and efficient pastor of North East, Md. The congregations are good, growing larger at each service. The spiritual tide is rising, snd the outlook is that the meeting this year will not fall behind that of other years in spiritual interests and results.

The excursion was successful in every way, and established more firmly than ever the well-earned reputation the company has gained for giving enjoyable and orderly excursions. The people who went to Ocean City yesterday had the opportunity of witnessing the gathering of the peninsular savants. It was an attraction truly and doubly worth the price of the passage ticket. The chunks of editorial wisdom that were desseminated were strong and powerful, and the way Webster sophisticated husbandry who were present open their eyes in amazement.

A pleasant time A Narrow Fscape. Yesterday afternoon the lightning struck a large tree in front of Bernard Bonner, the merchant tailor's store, No. 406 King street.

At the time the lightning struck the tree Mr. Bonner was busily engaged in wrapping up suit of clothes for a customer, after which, on going out to ascertain what damage had been done, a large limb fell off the tree, and had it not been for the timely warning given by the customer it would have struck Mr. Bonner on the head, as lie was standing near the spot when the limb fell.

Tln-re have been large number of new arrivals since Sunday. Among the prominent arrivals at the Burf House this week W. K. Rogers, private Secretary President Hayes, Mrs. Rogers and family, Otto Qutio and family of Baltimore, aud Judge Handy and family of Mississippi.

The family of Mr. Rogers intend remaining at Rehoboth until the latter part of September. For the past week the Beach has been free from mosquitoes. Ycaiurday'a Storm. Yesterday we were favored with heavy fall of rain in which there a slight shower of hail.

FAMILY The Talleys of Brssiywlss Hasdree In Annual straordlnary Far line of Men port Al Be-nalca. Islolls Yesterday a grand re-union of the Talley family took place in Talley'B Woods, on the old camp ground, in Brandywine Hundred. These woods are moit beantlful, and close to the speakers' stand (the old place for preaohing at the camp meeting) was an immense rook, eplit nearly iu two, which has been named the "liock of Agee." In the morning probably two hundred and fifty of the Talley family were present.

In the afternoon the numlier must have swelled to abont five hundred. They were nearly all well to do farmers. There was a large number of the most sturdy and handsome little children we have ever seen, and the numerous babies in arms were the prettiest, roundest, fattest little things. One might search the world over to find gn equal. The old, patriotic Eli Crozier was there with the flag of the United States and some relics of Anthouy Wayne.

We think he ia connected with the Talley family. Mra. Clayton, widow of the late John Clayton, of Delaware county, was also there. She is the mother of Judge Clayton, of Delaware county, and of Powell F. Clayton, who was Governor of that State, and also U.

S. Senator from that State. The oldest Talley on the ground was Jehu Talley, who was 84. The youngest was William Talley, a little babe in son of Win. T.

Talley, who took probably the most active part in getting up the demonstration, lie was ti months old. The proceedings commenced by procession of the Talleys, especially the children. This was intended to be headed by the two invited guests Alderman Francis Vincent and the Rev. Mr. Gregg, but the guests misunderstanding the arrangement, thinking they were to be told when to take their places, and this being forgotten they did not head the proeession as intended.

The proceedings commenced with a nt prayer by Rev. Mr. Gregg, pastor of Bethel M. E. ohurch, in the vicinity.

The assemblage was then addressed by City Treasurer Franois Vinoent. He said in effect that the Talley family was one of the most respectable, aud decidedly one of the most numerous families in Delaware, that they principally were residents of Brandywine Hundred, although some of them were scattered everywhere. A preacher (Rev. T. B.

Hunter, now stationed at Cherry Hill, Md.) once remarked that if you call every other mau you meet in Brandywine Hundred Talley, you would not be far wrong. Mr. V. also said Delaware was 44 years older than Pennsylvania, and consequently we bad older families that had gone into tribes, and rnanv of them were acattered all over tlie United States. That it was astonishing how often these Delaware families or tribes maintaineil their characteristics.

Wc had political families like Ridgelys, Bayards, Polks, Claytons and had hold offices through The Ridgelys, were generally Bishops or Senators. The Bayards fled from France, intermarried with the Stuyvesants, of whom Petrus (Peter) Stuyvesant become Governor ofNew York. Petrus Hayardmarried sister. He had a son Petrus who moved to Delaware and bought Bombay Hook. Bassett was Governor of Delaware, and Senator, aud was one of the delegates that signed the constitution of tlie United States.

James A. Bayard married the daughter of Edward BaBsett, so there has been four generations in the Seuate reckoning the female side. The Delaware Polks are scattered all over the Union; one was Governor of President of the United States. The Rodneys came to England with the Conqueror and nearly ail that I know have filled public positions. The Claytons have nearly all been governors or senators or chief justice.

And I may go on ad Then there are the mercantile and land liolding familiea. Such as the Can by, Tatnalla and and especially the Bushes, Warners and Porters. These three last mentioned have had their business descend from father Lo sou for over a hundred years. Then comes the Talley's who (at least all I know) are independent farmers, every man I an acquainted with cultivating his own 'and. They are the independent yeomanry.

Of all these Delaware families I have mentioned 1 might use the old saying: They have no black Tlie women are all true. The men all brave. I should like to see family reunions. I have said the, most of the families of Talley's reside in Brandywine Hd. But they can be found every where, except in the jail and the poor house.

There they are not. Amongst the principal patriarchs of the family are the following: Talley, the oldeHt who is about 84, Thos. Talley who lias 40 grandchildren besides children, William T. Talley who is about 60 years of age, Lewis Talley, 1)7; Penrose R. Talley, 74; Thomas, 67; John, 65; Peter.

60; Geo. (the butcher.) 70; John William Talley, (of Linwood) 65; Isaac Grubb Talley, 75 and Win. G. Talley of Wilmington 60. They own should estimate about two thousand of land between them.

May they contiuueto multiply and replenish. When Mr. Vincent had finished the Rev. Mr. Gregg delivered an eloquent address.

He read the following paper in relation to the number of Talleys present, that had been handed to him. It also stated their ages and the number of their descendants. These numbers wrre afterwards doubled by fresh arrivals." at a to a to ac Ago Defendants. 80 John Talley. Tlios.

Eli Crozier then addressed tbe meeting quite eloquently. Amongst other things be stated Mr. Harman Talley purchased for 75 cents tbe first load of manure ever brought into Brandywine Hundred. His neighbors told him that it was money wasted. He had a great deal better have spent it for whiskey.

The Talleys then went to their In mueh pleaeed with the family reuaioa. a Tag El-OS IOR. The McFarlin family, to the number held a social re union, a of John H. McFarlin near of about in the woe Newport. The members began to galb er about eight o'clock, and general preparations were made for having a good time.

About eleven o'clock a poem was read by Bev. Thomas T. Tasker dedicated to the descendants of John and Elisa Hays, the progenitors of the MoFarlins and ether branches of the family. The table was spread beneath the trees and waa filled with all thit oould please and gratify the. most fatldious of palates.

The after part of the day was spent by the young people in croquet playing and other light amusement, while the older ones took the oocaaion to compare individual diaries. About 4 o'clock the rain began to fall which compelled a hasty exit from the woods to more comfortable plaoes of shelter. A Troy Couple's Troubles. Thirteen years ago a woman of Troy, N. obtained a divorce from her hue band.

Before a year bad passed, however, she either regretted her step or believed in his complete reformation, for she yielded to his entreaties and remarried him. A child was born, and the couple lived heppily and prosperously together until apout a month ago, when the lady ascertained by chance that the law whioh had once granted her divorce prohibited the husband from marrying during her lifetime. On the 25th of July the conscientious lady and her unhappy husband, in the presence of a lawyer and several friends, signed papers of agreement to live apart for the reet of their lives, the husband to pay hie late wife (15 per week for her support, and to keep and educate the child, allowiug the mother to see it henever and as often as ehe desired. of 4 oil tract Liven The work of doing the stone work of the new Court House has iieen awarded by Mr. Given to Frank Crumlish of Philadelphia.

74 tu'sd wly a nd in tbe first into doctor mw (SENATOR SPRAUCEH I'FHAPPT HOME. A Letter la which Rbe Aeeweee bar Husband of Unmanly Conduct. Mrs. Sprague returned to Canonohet yesterday with the approval of the trusteea of the eatate. A Narragansett Pier dispatch to-night reports a stormy meeting with her husband, who, it is said, deolarea that he will keep the obildren.

Tlie following are extracts from a letter written by Mrs. Sprague to a friend which was published in the New York to-day As you must have surmised, Gov. Sprague's dissolute life and diaeipated habits long ago Interrupted our marital relations, though I have striven hard through untold humiliation aud pain to hide from the world, for my children's sake, the true conditions of a blighted, miserable domestio life. "Governor Sprague's causeless and shameful persecution of the children's teacher is literally true, as he tells the story, the real animus being, as confessed, Governor Sprague's unwillingness to be subjected to the restraint at the table and in the household observances of the constant presence of a gentleman. attempt to complicate Mr.

Conkling with this matter is absurd. The two men had not met. I believe had not seen each other. "Gov. Sprague's indecent affront to the guests in the house was most gross aud without excuse.

Mr. Martin, whom 1 had met in a very precarious condition of health en route for Narraganiett Pier, I induced him to go to Canonohet for quiet and good nursing. He was removed under Gov. Bprague'e threats of 'mnrder to lie at the imminent risk of his life. "Mr.

Conkllng was, ofoourse, as unconscious as I that Gov. Sprague sought occasion to euact tlie tragic role of the injured husband; for at their last meeting not long since, Gov. Sprague had sought from Mr. Conkling, not ouly legal oounsel, but aooepted at his hand a favor such as only the friendliest confidence could warrant." "Thia was the situation of affairs whioh, by coming to Rhode Island, bad hoped, through some influence br other, brought to bear on Gov. Sprague, to help to set right, and to secure, by seme means, a maintenance for the four children, for whose wants and education I have been and am now bearing the undivided burden.

A conference with counsel employed the firm achieved no results. Prof. Linck, under a contract with me for three months was neither permitted to perform hiB duties nor paid aud dismissed. He had no ostensible means for living at Canonohet without incutring additional which refused to be a party. Iu this awkward and painful dilemma, I requested Mr.

Conkllng who had already been consulted by Mr. Sprague, aud upon whose judgment and friendly advice have safely relied in my own matters, to see Gov. Sprague and try to ascertain what point there was in this proposed programme of opposition, and what results were likely to follow that would benefit or provide for the children. Mr. Conkling Htupped at Canonohet for this purpose, and was awaitlug Governor Sprague's return to seek an interview with him when the now notorious outbreak occurred.

"If any hostile words were exchanged between Mr. Conkling and Gov. Sprague at Canonohet, they alone knew what they were, for no one else heard "What transpired iu the village 1 do not know, beyond what is reported in the sensational accounts giveu in the newspapers." a is it if XirolliorM and of Motes.
