THE Steamer "Mary Oriswold" made ao excursion from this place to Fox Lake on Sunday last, the occasion being choral services, under the direc­ tion of Rev. Thos. E.

The steamer left McHenry i)li0,with about 25 passen­ gers, and arrived at the camp ground just as services commenced. We have not the space to speak of the services and singing as they deserve. Suffice to say the singing was as fine as any­ thing we ever had the pleasure of lis­ tening to, while the remarks by Rev, Mr, Green were both beautlral and appropriate. Io short he Is ao orator, hia words flowing io an easy, pleasant and graceful manner, that at once drew the attention or his hearers, and although the day was exceedingly warm, there was not ooe present but who was sorry when he was through.
