There was also that universal and almost ubiquitous nuisance, Preacher Clemens. The latter having been put under arrest during the week, sought revenge by getting oat a warrant for the arrest of the Presiding Elder, who was expected to preach on Hunday, and during service Clemens marched in with a constable and ordered the arreet. The latter ascended the preacher’s Htaud during the discourse and commenced reading his document, when E*q Harpster and others '‘walked him off on his ear, promising prompt ap. pearance of the culprit, if any, at the proper time.The next act in the drama was that of three roughs attacking an old man at noon, sitting In his huggy, in full sight of the multitude, whom they knocked down with a club, robbed oi his watch and money, and by mingling with the crowd eecaped arrest.At 12} o’clock, Clemens commenced preaching at the back of one of the preacher’s tents. Upon refusing to leave, he threw himself upon his back on the ground in a rigid manner when five or six men carried him outside the limits, but in a short time he returned at the head of a gang of roughs singing aod shouting to within a few rods of the tents. As soon as the howling of the crowd oonld be •lopped he commenced a harangue in which he used the most Llthy language, and did his utmost to create a disturbance.In the afternoon Mtvvral fighJ* occurred, in which a young man named Kintz, living south cf Tiffin, was badly nwi up, after hard fighting, in which he whipped several of his opponents, and was forced to leave town within ten minutes from a given time. He took the bint. It was claimed that be started a three-card monte game—that of course was hardly proper and the pious young men,wouldn't allow any such doings.Tbe saloons were in full blast during the day. The Carey people begin to feel about Camp meetings as the Fo^toria folks do regarding Firemen’s Tournaments.Council.—Monday night all mem-hoc I 3d tbe 1 4t! 5tl sc ho Tt with U ex oftfa to tr top orga salt sad Baht Let grow see s Hlt; Ing whic paidCitiz*whalt;neeagaii U on our 1 agali Pr. a via hear work been it 1 the whlc A gi here, such oabli Sir that oubIj ed, h jurieprovTb very resul for New of vg censlt; V0t«rtcitlm tutlo Kill 1 Co this amo: bear natuAa vciste ing, on 1 cam i this visa
