in case It did not produce good effects, he would pay
for the bottle himself On the strength of such prac

wife ut this time was so low with what physicians
termed SEATED CONSUMPTION to be unable to raise
herself from the bed, coughing constantly and rails
ing more or less blood. l commenced giving the
Balsam as directed, and was so much pleased with
its operation that obtained another bottle and con-

used, she ceased coughing and strong enough to

Smyrna Circuit Camp Meeting.


CANT GROUND, JULY 81, 1867
This Camp commenced yesterday in very
pleasantly located woods, 215 miles from Black
bird Station, on the Delaware r. r., and about
miles from the town of Smyrna. This is the Sec
ond year it has been used for this purpose, and a
more pleasant spot with better water and other
facilities would be hard to find. In regard to ex-
tent and magnitude compared with the Camden
Camp Meeting this little Camp loses by the conf
parison but 1t is preferable TO those who wish to
spend quiet week away from the noise and bus
tie incident to larger gatherings.
There are ~ tents on the ground enclosing a
circle in which seats are arranged capable of
seating several thousand people. The tents, with
two or three exceptions arc substantially and
comfortably built of boards to protect the inmates
from rain, which fact was completely dcmonstra-
ted before left the ground
The exercises were commenced on last evening
by an exhortation by Rev. Mr.. Clark
This mornings exercises were carried on by the
Rev. l. L. Ewell, of Smyrna, who took for his
text the 9Th verse of the 9th Chapter of Matthew
The afternoon exercises were commenced by
Rev. Joseph Cook of Salisbury, Nd, who chose
for his text the 3rd verse of the 10th Chapter of
st. John but the exercises were speedily brought
to a close by gust of rain which had been gath
cring all afternoon, until thepent up waters could
no longer be restrained; the heavy laden clouds
opened their portals and the rain descended in
copous showers to cool and purify the air, and to
moisten and refresh the dry and parcheu EARTH
The congregation speedily dispersed to their re-
spective tents, sorry they could not hear the re-
mainder of Mr. Cooks able discourse but thank
full for the cool refreshing rain. l am told thai
Mr.. Cook will finish his sermon this evening.
If our friends from Wilmington wish to enjoy
Il pleasant time in beautiful shady grove beside
running streams and pure cold water they should
visit the Smyrna Circuit Camp meeting.
Hoping to be able to give you more reports o
this Camp as it progresses, I must now lcav,
these pleasant associations, and wish our friend
an agreeable and profitable time. H.

Our OF THEIR MISDs.-A man and woman VIII ,
reached this city on Saturday in the one o'clock
train from Baltimore gave evidence by their sim
gular conduct that they were laboring under in
sanity. After the train had passed Wilmington
tho passengers were somewhat annoyed and ANU
sed by the conduct of the pair. Frequent excla-
nations, such as, "Glory be to God! ~ and
Praise the Lord!" were uttered by the couple,
and to cap the matter, they began, when n few
miles from the city, to remove their clothing.
The woman took off her under garments, shoes
and bonnet, and the man his shoes. Leaving their
clothes alongside the seat they had occupied, and,
notwithstanding the calls Of the conductor to come
back and take them, they started in their rather
loose condition along the street. While proceed
ing up Broad street they still continued shouting,
"Glory to God!" "Glory to God!"-Philalel-

Err DEvELopsENTs.-Itis now generally believed
that colored girl, who lived with Mr. Collins, is
the person who set his barn on fire, and she has
been lodged in Jail, charged with the offence.
There seems to have been no good ground for
suspecting the boy who was hung of setting fire
to the barn. and it is said that the gang of muir
derers made mistake.
The parties who did the lynching are still OF
large, yet it is seriously stated that the servants
at Mr.. Collins house recognized them, on the
night of the murder, and would have testified as
to their identity on the Coroner's inquest, had
they not been inundated by threats, some of
which were openly made as they were about to
give their evidence. 1t is further alleged that the
guilty parties are too respectfully connected to be
prosecuted, that they arc Republicans in politics,
etc., all Of which is sheer nonsense, criminal as

DRowNED.-On Sunday afternoon four young
men were bathing in the Christlana, at Garesche's
wharf, on the other side of the river just below
the mouth of the Brandywine. The party con-
sisted of Robert Shippers, two young men his
brothers-in-law named Hickman, and another
person whose name we did not learn. Before they
had gone in the water Shippers had run q foot race
with one of the Hiclman's, and was very warm,
the day being an intensely hot one. After they
had been into swim for some time, one of the
Hickman's had swan across the river, Shippers
was out in the deep water, and the other two,
(who could not swim,) were along the shore.
| Suddenly Robert Shippers went down, and the
| others saw he was drowning, but the only one who
could swim was too far off TO reach him, and the
others were of course unable to do any thing.
| They did not see him 60 down but once. In q
short time they hailed boat in which were some
more yonng men, and one of the latter Owed and
brought up the body of the deceased.
Coroner Curry summoned jury who awarded
u verdict that deceased came to his death from
accidental drowning. 1t is supposed that Sim
pers was overheated by the exertion Of running
on so hot day, and was suddenly taken with the
cramp, which rendered him powerless to help
himself.
The deceased was brother-in-law of Mr.. Hick-
man, one of the Police officers of the. I'd ward he
was coach trimmer by trade, and lived in Second
street. between Poplar and Lombard He was in
the army serving with Company of the Fourth
Delaware, and was brave man and good sol.
dier. He was bnt "a years old when he died, and
leaves wife and one child.
After he was got into the boat every effort was
made to bring him to, but all were of no avail.
