Camp Meetings.
Vt c learn that there is to be a camp meeting
lioldeii at the old ground at North Port, L. I.,
classical studies has been steadily gaining
ground in America. It has increased with the
diffusion of a taste for all that is beautiful in
science and art, and is the natural result of a
growing attention to those things which, though
not essential to the comforts of the masses, are
nevertheless useful adjuncts to the intelligence
and exaltation of a people. A man may
live without a knowledge of Latin and Greek ;
and so indeed he might without a knowledge of
Arithmetic. But that is no argument against
the usefulness of those studies. One, too, can
I““’‘3 9- S003 Share 01' intelligence without any
very thorough study of the structure of his
own language. He may become even a passa-
ble writer and orator and not know an adjec-
tive from a verb, or a reason why pronouns are
used instead of nouns. Yet we may well pity
the indifference of such an one who prefers the
use of materials without knowing their nature,to
seeking a thorough and available acquaintance
with the springs of power that exist in his
mother tongue.
But to know our own language well requires
other studies than those of the spelling book,
grammar and dictionary. One of its elements,
and one of its most important, is the Latin
language ; a knowledge of which is now gem-
rally admitted to be essential to a thortllgll
knowledge of the English. ‘
With these views we cannot but reoice as
educators and friends of education -‘UM any

books ; while others l)en,‘x-tile marks of learning
and experience in their preparation, and are
rapidly, winning for f,1\:111SelVeS a high and per-
manent position in tie literature of education.
Among the latte:-we iiiihesitatiiigly give the
first place to IIa.~‘/i"n.'.’.\:s’ Second Latin Boo].-,
together with his edition of Arnold’s First‘
Book. The latter should never have borne Dr.
» Arnold s name, as it is so thoroughly revised,
improved and altered that it may well be
called a new work. We hope in the succeeding
editions the incdesty of the author will yield to
justice to himself. and the book be issued in his
own name. It isi so superior to the former
work in its plan and method, and in all the de-
tails of execution, that few would know, except
from the title page, that it had any connection
with Arnold's.
The graiid principle upon whicli tln,-se two
works proceed is that of imitation and repeti-
t on, siniiliir to the method in which a child ac-
quires its native tongue. As applied to the ac-
quisition of foreign languages it was first

s\"(.il1t‘I1.tl_Y led the way to its practical use in
his German gi'anim-.ir. It has since been ap-
plied to every iiiodcrn language ; and now we
liuvc it u?sed to introduce the student to a
knowledge of the ample stores of Latin litera-
tiire.

‘.

cise Book, in which the Syiitax is analytically
developed in a most complete iiiaiiner. This
latter part comprises repeated exercises in con-
structing, analyzing and reconstructing Latin
sentences. The work is iiiteiidcd to follow the
First Book. and Rl,‘GSll;j5})QS8S that the pupil has
elglier in tllflt or some other introduction fa-
inillarized himself with the ordinary forms and
iiillections of the laiiguage. With this previous
knowledge, a siudent—(we mean one who de-
serves the nanie)—a sliuient cannot fail on
going through this work to acquire a thorough
acquaintance of the sz‘ruc!=2rrc of the Latin
tongue, and to become iinb_ued with the spirit
qt" l{l‘ilg(1:;,g¢ Cicero and Virgil.
iilhe Reader contains an epitome of the His-
tories of Rome under the Republic and Empire,
and of Greece. How much better adapted this
is to the use ofcliristian youth than the ridicu-
lous anecdotes and disgusting niytliology of

A terrible scene was witnessed at Niagara
Falls, last Tuesday. Two men belonging to a
scow which had just come down the river, got
into a skill’, belonging to the craft, when by
some means (about 9 o'clock) the boat was sep-
arated f'roiii the scow, and was hurried on by
the current, with fearful rapidity, to the falls.

Camp meetings at this place are very numer-

fine and beautiful.
A camp meeting will also be holdeu in a
beautiful grove near Reading station on the
Danbury and Norwalk R. R., commencing Aug.
15th. Extensive preparations are being made
for this meeting, and it is expected that it will
be largely attended.
Sharks.
Our fishermen are almost daily hauling in
some half dozen or more of the above very de-
lightful fish. Mr. Arnold came up on Friday
last and spread seven upon the dock in the rear
of our office, varying in length from 2 to 4 or 5
feet. A party of some dozen or more “town
boys” iuiinediately set sail on their arrival for
the seat of war, (which for the present seems to
be Gregoryis Point and Belden’s Neck,) armed
to the teeth, resolved to catch a fish or die!
The success of their expedition has not yet
tvanspired.
N on-walk Special Train.
AS Will be Seen by our corrected time table
of the New York and New Haven Railroad-
the company have favored us with a special
train, leaving our Depot at 5.45 A. M., and
leaving New York at 6.15 P. M. This train is
under the Conductorship of C. C. Cornwall, 9.
geutlemanly and efficient officer.
Steamer Pacific.
Our little steamer has changed her time as
will be seen by adv. We see that she is well
filled with freight, and are glad to note her
prosperity, and trust it may be continued.
Accident.
An Irish woman fell through the hatch-way
of Leonard-‘s Packet store, one day last week,
upon the dock beneath. She was taken up very
seriously injured, but has so far recovered from
the fall as to be able to walk about.

injured at Pound Ridge last week is the brother
of Isaac Sclleck of Norwalk, and of Noah Sel-
leck, Esq., formerly of this town but now of
Brooklyn. He is now convalescent and hopes
are entertained of his recovery.

Correspozzdemw of the Gazette.
Seuawrox, Pa., July 19th, 1853.
Fiiii-ixn Bvixorox :—It may not be uninter-
esting to soiue of your readers to see a short
comiiniuicatioii from an old acquaintance. If
there be any in pursuit of the novelty of some-
thing entirely new, let them take a trip to
Pennsylvania. and visit the coal mines and iron
\\'__01'liS- Situated in the Lackawanna valley,
down upon it bed of iron and coal is Scranton,
which was founded a few years since by four
enterprising men, for the purpose of develop
ing the mineral resources of the locality. Now
there is a population of 4000, the busy hum of
industry greets the ear everywhere, and the
clang of steam engines and the roar of melting
furnaces are heard day and night without ces-
sation. .
Ten miles south of Scranton the Lackawanna
river unites with the Susquehanna, and at this
point commences the celebrated Wyoming val-
ley, which is a sort of inclosure of five miles in
width and twenty in length, bounded on either
side at a uniform distance by mountain ranges.
It is a beautiful spot of‘ earth, hallowed by its
l‘elllll1l$C0ll0eS of the Revolution, and consecra-
ted by the genius of painter and poet. A
monument has been erected over the bones of
those who perished in the massacre of July 3,
1778. It is a quadrangular granite column, 60
feet in height, with white marble tablets insert-
ed in the sides, conta,in,i;‘.g~ the names of those
who suil'e:‘e.£‘. death——243 in all. Further down
we crossed the river and were in Wilkesbarre,
a fine town in the centre of the valley. A short
drive on the Easton turnpike brought us to
Prospect Rock, where the eye can scan the en-
tire valley, and the soul diiinlg in a view of the
most splendid, and perfect natural scenery on
the face or the earth, which forms an elysiunl
shut out from the world—a modern Eden.
But Pennsylvania is generally a rugged,
mountain bound State, rich in mineral wealth,
but requiring a tremendous capital to bring it
out. A thousand Railroads and Canals would
be none too many for this State. It is highly
creditable to the energy and business talents of
a set of men who came into the wilder-uess,
founded a town. and xn_a_d_e it the diverging point
of th1‘~(3€= 1.l‘<lllI;lWl3: ll] which to send about the
country vast qiiantitiés of coal and iron. Such
have the Messrs. Scranton and Platt, as lead-
ers. 3CC°mP1lSht‘¢1- They were originally from
Connccticut- The Lackawanna and Western
Railroad branches 03' from the Erie at Great
Bend, and passes through fifty miles of wild,
dangerous looking country,‘ alternately on
mountain sides and in valleys, and terminating
at Scranton. Arriving, the traveller can see
near the depot a noble brick hotel which cost

ford. From, this redeeming position of civiliza-
tion, the visitors can sully out to the ore and
coal mines, and to the different works about,
and see more new and strange objects in one
week than in all his life before. The process
of making Railroad iron is beautiful to see in
the evening. But if a person bids adieu to a
New England town to go either south or west,
expecting. to find the scenery and society
he leaves behind he will be sadly disappointed.
He must weigh these matters well, and make

The Plremeuls‘ Safébratlon at New
Haven.
The procession was to have been in
motion at 10 o’clock, but owing to the
late arrival of the train from New York,
it was well nigh 12 o'clock before the
body commenced to move.
The line then formed on the Park, the
right resting on Temple street, under
command of Cmanss A. Nsrrtsrono
Chief Engineer, and his assistants.
Some of the companies had their eu-
gines superbly decorated, and carried
very beautiful banners. -Croton Engine
No. 1 of New Haven, which headed the
procession, was decked with garlands of
all kinds, and the company had borne in
front a flag bordered with a green wreath,
and bearing the following insci'lption:——
"Our motto is total abstinence.” Their
engine was drawn by four horses, and
their hose-which, in New Haven, is
attached to each engine—-was covered
up by our National flag.
After being reviewed by the Mayor,
Aldermen and Common council, the pro-
cession passed out of Temple street, up
Temple street out Whitney Avenue to
Sachem’s Laue, through Sachem's Lane
to Hillhouse avenue, down Hillhouse av-
enue to Grave, up Grove to College,
down College to Elm, up Elm to York,
down York to Crown, down Crown to
Church, down Church to George, down
George to State, up State to Chapel,
to \Vooi'ster Place, up Woorster Place
to Green, up Green to Olive, up Olive
to State, down State to Chapel, up Chap-
el to the south gate of the Park.
At the south end of the Park a flag of
welcome was hung up with the follow-
imcription :
“ A hearty welcome we give you,
In unity of heart
We extend the hand of
Friendship, and as brothers we part.-”v
Under this the various companies pas-
sed in order down the avenue, so ele-
gantly shaded by the stately old trees
which have given New Haven the title
of the " City of Elms." After traversing
most of the city in their route, the pro-
cession closed at the pavilion erected at
the Park. This temporary structure,
erected in the public park, on ground
belonging to Yale College, furnished ac-
commodations on a very extensive scale-
Ffteen long tables were laid out, spread
with an abundant cold repast. Seats
were provided for 2,500 guests, and yet
many, among them the entire of the
New Haven Fire department, dined out-
side, for the want of accommodation
within. Mr. C. A Dickerson superin-
tended,and Mr. L A. Dickinson made
himself very efficient in getting up the
entertainment. The Mayor, A. N. Skin-
per, Esq., presided, with Rev. Mr. Eus-
tic, Judge E. K. Foster, Alderman
Hotchkiss an<?Bristol, Councilmen Hull,
Horsfall, Wilcoxon, Collins, &c.. on
either side of him. Grace was said by
Rev. Mr.~Eustice, after which, all who
got seats enjoyed a full hasty meal.
The Mayor then arose to make a few
remarks, but declined doing so from the
difficulty of being heard.
After partaking of the collation within
the tent, the firemen took about an hour
and a half to rest, to view all that is
tempting to behold in this growing and
beautiful little city. It'is a. long time
since New Haven contained such a
gathering. Thousands rushed in from
the vicinity to behold this graceful con-
test for victory, between men, the sole
object of whose organization ever should
be the promotion of the welfare and
safety of their fellow citizens‘ All those
now while awaiting the coming of the
battle, strolled around the ample and
handsome park, admiring the State
House and looking with veneration on
the walls of old Yale College. The
New York cars, it is fated, took in
1160 passengers on Friday morning.
which, of itself, is an indication of the
vast number: that crowded the town.
At about 5 o’clock P. M., three gentle-
men appointed to act as judges on the
oacasion, namely, Ex-Mayor Galpin, Al-
fred Daggett, and Howard B. Ensign,
Esq., took a position of commanding
view in the cupulo of the Tontine Ho-
tel, from which, by the aid of telescopes.
they were to be enabled to see with fa-
cility, the height to which each stream
of water ascended. To test this a pole
was erected in the park near the State
House, which was calculated to be one
hundred and fifty-three feet high, and
the summit of which was crowned with
a fii'eman’s cap, to sprinkle which was
no doubt the ambitious hope of many a
fireman there then.
The ‘prizes were two goblets and two
salvets, both silverware, and elaborately
chased, and deemed to be worth $100.
Each goblet and salve: constituted a
prize to be awarded to the most success-
ful in the uvd classes into which the
companies weie grouped. All those,
the chamber of whose engine measured
more than eight inches, belonged to the
first class, and tlontended for the prize-
these numberediseven. The remaining
fourteen were all under eight inches in
chamber. The following arethe names

But second class engine Niagara, from
New Britain, carried off the honors of
the day in the opinion of all present.—
The engine, built by \Vaterman, is quite
a small affair, but her capabilities, and
the exertions of her men, gained the
greatest applause. At every renewed
stroke they bore on still more heavily,
until at length the spray might be seen
to touch the cap on the summit of the
pole, 153 feet from the ground.
The New Yorkers made but a very
sorry display, it must be confessed, on
the occasion. Great expeciatioiis had
been formed of Southwark engine, and
even many ventured to predict a victory
for the Red Jackets of Williamsburgli;
but both failed, and 38 engine made a
sad failure, indeed, The company say it
was because she is made to work from a
hydrant, while her competitors work by
suction, which she was then compelled
to do.
In the evening the prizes were distri-
buted, and the foreman of the success-
ful companies loudly cheered.
For the Gazette.
Methodist Church, \Vestport.
Wnsri-oirr, July 15, 1853.
MR. Eurron :—The report has gone abroad
extensively that the Methodist church in West-
port was closed, and about to be sold. I wish
to inform our friends abroad that the report is
without foundation, except it bein the wish of
those who may have ‘originated it. We are
grateful to God, and to very many friends, of
all ects in this place, that this is not likely to
take place. We are sinking the debt every
month, besides meeting current expenses.
F. A. Ciuri-s, Pastor of the
M. E. Church in Westport.
fir We thank our democratic brethren of
the Farmer and Stamford Republican for their
good wishes. We trust our political differen-
ces may never involve the loss of personal es-
teem on the part of any of us.
3%‘ The Directors of the N. Y. & N. H. rail-
road, at a meeting held on the 6th inst., passed
appropriate resolutions relative to the death of
Conductor McKinney, who received his death
wound at the Harlem tunnel.
From Mexico.
Dates from the city of Mexico to the 4th, and
‘Vera Cruz to the 8th, have been received at
New Orleans. Cholera continued to rage at
Vera Cruz, and thelvlack vomit was making
such ravages that physicians lost 90 of every
hundred patients.-
Concerning the difficulties bet ween Mexico
and the United States, the Trail at’ Union says:
“ If war is imminent in Europe, we think it may
be considered equally so under certain circum-
stances between the United States and Mexico.
The violent language of the official journal at
Washington bodes nothing good.”
Another Murder.
Thomas Regan, an Irishman of Ansonia, was
arrested last Sunday, and committed to New
Haven Jail, on the charge of murdering his
wife. He had previously heen committed to
jail for drunkenness, and upon being released,
procured a bottle of rum, saying he was going
to kill his wife, which he afterwards did, with
a shovel.
OBSTRUCTIONS ox run HARLEM RAIL Row.
—A man has been arrested for putting obstruct-
ions on the Harlem Road about 30 miles from
New York. He had placed logs on the track
in the way of the evening express train several
times, but the cow-catcher had flung them off
without injury. A watchman was stationed,
who caught him in the act of staking down a
log, so as to keep it firm. He is in prison. It
is supposed his objectwas to pick the pockets
of the passengers amid the confusion.
A SWINDLE.—Tlle Bridgeport Bank was
swindled out of $1400 not long since by a re-
turned Californian. He deposited in the bank
a quantity of gold dust in quartz, as he said,
worth the above sum, and a certificate of de-
posit was given him, which he sold. The lump
in question, on examination, proved to be
worthless, its cavities having been filled with
lead. The sheriff‘ is after the depositor.
_%' The Legislature of New York (extra
session) adjourned last Friday after a session of
100 days. The most important measures passed
are the canal enlargement, and supply and tax
bills. The Maine Law was voted down on the
day of the adjournment, 54 yeas to 56 nays, 18
absent or dodging.
- Ma. John B. Gough and lady sailed on Wed-
nesday for Europe, in the steamship America.
They will be absent till fall. That they may
have a pleasant voyage, successful tour and safe
return, is the wish of their many friends and
numerous admirers everywhere.
Governor Seymour has appointed A. G. Haz-

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Weather.
How much growling, pufling and blowing do we hear
about the weather, and yet the season thus far has been

time and provided themselves with one of those cool and
tasty suits from LocKwoon’s Cheap Cash Tailoring Em-

Seth W. I-‘owle.]—Gentlemen, Ihave seen notices of cures
performed by “ Dr. Wistur’s Balsam of\Vi|d Ckei-ry.” I
have been troubled with soreness in my throat, attended-
with a severe and painful cough.
my house in stormy and foggy weather, cold winds, kc.
My bodily health is feeble, andl am now about titty-five
year» of age. This tenderness of my throat came on about
the year 1806, and has troubled me in my private and
professional business, so that I have never been free from
it since. I think my case is a hard one for a trial of your
medicine, but I enclose to you one dollar, which I under-
stand is the price. Please send me it bottle. If this has
a good effect, I shall need to send to you again.
Yours respectfully,
J. S. PALMER.
Leuox, Nov. 13, 1848.
J . E. Warner & Co.--Gentlemen, about two weeks since,
you sent me a bottle ofWistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
I have taken nearly all of it, and find so much relief in
-using it that I enclose two dollars for two bottles more.
My cough which had become very severe, and was wear-
ing me out very fast, has nearly subsided. I raise with-
out much effort by coughing, and the tenderness in my
tln-oatis very much relieved. It seems to me to be the
only medicine to. which I can look for permanent relief‘.
Respectfully yours, ;,
