California Camp Meeting.
By J. N. Loughborough
THIS Camp Meeting will be held at Yount-ville, Napa Co., Cal., on the Napa and Calistoga R. R., on the same grounds as last year. The meeting is to commence October first, at 2 P. M., and continue to the morning of the twelfth of October. Yountville is the name of the R. R. station, and is midway between Napa and St. Helena, being nine miles from each. The ground on which the meeting is to be held is through the fields, one mile directly east of the R. R. station. There will be a sign erected at the entrance to the grounds, so that all may know where to turn in. It is desired that each church send their tents and straw ticks to the camp ground as early as Tuesday evening, September 29th, accompanied by two or more able bodied men to labor on the 30th in pitching tents, filling ticks, seating the grounds, &c. It is desired that the campers, as far as possible, arrive on the grounds by the evening of September 30th, so that all may be in readiness to commence the meeting without confusion on October 1st, at the appointed hour. We will have teams meet the trains each way to convey passengers and baggage from the depot to the Camp Ground free of charge, from September 29th to the evening of October 2nd. After that we will furnish conveyance free for those who inform us, or their friends, that they are coming, and our free teams they will know only by our drivers calling their names, as hacks will be run after October 2nd by parties charging for the conveyance of the crowd. A daily mail in connection with the arrival and departure of the United States mail at Yountville, will be established to and from the Camp Ground. All letters designed for those camping on the ground, to ensure insertion in our mail bag, should be marked, Yountville, Napa Co., Cal., Camp Ground. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
