R. Bell, of Marcus Hook, had a war- mat issued for the arrest of Philip Brown, of the same place, charging liiui with having a horse in his possession which Bell claimed belonged to him. It is one of the trading transactions of Messrs. Davis and Hoskius, mentioned in this paper last week. After a partial hearing the worthlessness of the horse was established, Bell and Blown settled the affair between themselves, and the suit was discontinued.

Superintendent Eyre was authorized to put water meters iu the manufacturing establishments and hotels, if it was desirable. The Board are of tht opinion that if all the places using a great quantity of water were to put in meters by which they could tell the exact number of gallons consumed it would be bstter for all parties.

SEVERELY afternoon a number of young men were swimming iu the river off the float stage of the Alpha boat house, at the foot of avenue, and one of them in the act of divingshpped on the stage and fell, striking his bead and shoulder severely. He was going with such force that after striking he went into the water apparently helpless. He came up iu a reasonable time, but as soon as he was on tbe surface of the water he went down again auu remained under so long that his friends became alarmed. They began to provide means for bis rescue, but the second time he came up he gained strength enough to swim to the stage and get out. He was severely biuised about tbe head and shoulders.

MEETIUfU XOTES. Monday, tbe last day of the 7th annual Chester Heights camp meeting, opened out dull and cloudy, and about 4 o'clock it commenced to shower, lasting until 5, when the sun came out beautifully. Great efforts had been made to make this the most interesting day of all. Toward evening the crowd commenced visibly to increase, everybody in the surrounding neighborhood coming to take part in tbe parting exercises. During the entire day meetings were in progress at some of the tents or in the main auditorium.

The day was commenced with the 5 o'clock prayer meeting, conducted by Rev. Enoch Stubbs, in the central tent, and continued there almost without intermission until between 4 and 5 this morning. So great was the number of anxious inquirers at tbis tent that these meetings were continued during the regular at the stand. At the stand a like degree of interest was displayed. During the first week of camp many were saying that this meeting would not be a success, either as to numbers attending, or as to tbe amount of spiritual good accomplished-a hasty judgment, and one which last night's summing up of results has entirely upset.

Tbe number at the altar, and their earnestness, induced tbe management to defer the closing exercises until 1 o'clock, instead of 12 precisely, as announced. The 8 a. in. meeting at the stand, was in charge of Rev. Mr.

Schofield. Remarks were made by many of the ministers present, among them Rev. Dr. Duncan, Revs. Turner, Fernley and others.

This meeting was continued until, and merged into the regular 10 o'clock preaching. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Campbell, (colored) of the A. M. E. church.

This gentleman's discourse was scholarly, forcible and earnest, and, followed by some of the brothers, in short, and telling exhortative addresses, produced much feeling, as was evinced by the number, who, in answer to the invitation to come, surrounded the altar. Although tlie usual time for closing this meeting was 12 o'clock, yet a number of the anxious ones were still kneeling at the ringing of the 1.30 bell for children's church. During both of these services the leader of the singing wst aided, and we think very effectively, by a gentleman playing an accompaniment upon the cornet. Rev. T.

A. Fernley, tbe leader of tkis children's meeting was present. Some very beautiful hymns were sung by the children, jand short addresses delivered by many of, ft Jg conim0(Umi the munsteis, bearing upon the separation steameri wil ample rooiii for dancing to tin- of teachers and children for the coming year, i At 2 P. as announced, the line of march i was formed, led by Revs. McCulIough, Tuiner and Fernley, directly followed by J.
