WOODLAND CAMP, Aug, %.
This camp is situated some four miles
east of Port Deposit, in beautiful grove,
afording delightful shade. The arrange
ment of the tents, pupil and seats is all
could be desired. The pulpit Is large,
with the following beautiful notices in
the front. "Cnme unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden, and ! will
give you rest, " "Holiness unto the Lord"
"Tne blood of Jesus Christ His Son,
cleanseth from all sim" The water sup
ply is ample, two large springs of pure
cold water, with large tanks and cucum-
Der pumps. There are about IS tents, all
of canvass, tastefully arraigued. Two
large boarding tents, which are II credit

The ground is enclosed with a wire
fence, we are thus protected from the
dust, and the people do not suffer the in
convenience of having horses htched to
their tents, as Mt some of the camps in
Delaware.
The order seems to he alm9sl perfect,
when the bell rings for service, the people
assemble at once. The morning aud
evening prayer meetings are held in 4
large chapel tent ut the head of the
Deposit, Zion, Rising Sun, and Charles
town charges. Rev. Mr.. Martindale, at
Port Deposit, has been appointed in
charge, aud 1t is not quarterly camp,

wnL DELAWARE RE REPRESENTED AT
LOUISVILLE
A special correspondent of the New York
Herdid, VINO has been interviewing Colonel
Blanton Duncan, gives facts and letters
which 90 to show that the proposed con-
yention of Straight-out Democrats " ut
Louisville next month Is likely to he much
more important gathering than was at
first anticipated, and that the movement
appears IN he gaining strength.
II eeems that this State Is one of those
from which considerable number have
written In approval OF the project, and the
correspondent states that he saw Il letter
to Col Duncan from Hon. I. +. Bayard,
stating his belief that Charles O'COnner
will accept the Conventions nomination
for the presidency. This is, of course,
mistake, as Senator Bayard Is still in
Europe. We presume Hon. s. j. Baysrd,
Of New Jersey, is the gentleman referred to.
1t becomes an interesting question
whether or not the Straightouts" in this
State will send delegates to Louisville and
il so whom One democrat Informed us
lokingly this morning that he had read
that the Custom House Officers were pay
ing the expenses of delegates to Louisville
aud said we might inform those here that
If they had any money TO invest that way,
be could find the delegates.
The following peppery commu-
niculion is from "Straightouter" In re-
spunse TO one from Q Greeley man IN yes
terdays EVERY RyESISa. We can vouch
for the unauthorized ultra democracy Of
the writer who has been houored with i'm
portant positions by that party

fool'' enough for this State. Now,
Mr.. Deaa is not the only etraight-out In
the State, and Will not be alona there.
There are hundreds Of others in this
county who are far more likely to vote

spondent is to join a procession with the

the fact, that sin e Monday morning,
there has hcrn IL barrel og slOp sitting on
a pavement on Third st.cet below Wal
nut, awaiting removal. II has been there
so long that it has become a nuts lnce TO
the neighburhoOd; 50 much so, that the
neighbors cannot sit in their parlors with
out being compelled TO inhale the exceed
ngly odous perfume which arises from
snch garbage. We have not had IL
visit from the garbarge carts
since they have been iu operation, and
Just ut this season visit from them is
more desirable than ut almost any other
time. We presume there is money enough
spent to have all the garbage removed,
and az We pay enough taxes to entille us
to all the rights and privileges of citizens,
we demand IN this case the removal of said
barrel before sickness is caused in the
neighborhood. ii.

Keep Your Wo I'd.

When you promise to do q thing,
be sure you keep your word, as well
for the sake of truth as in justice to
others. This very interesting story
is told off boy who was singularly
faithful to his word:
He had borrowed a tool from q
neighbor, promising to return it at
night. Before evening he was sent
away on an errand, and did not re-
turn until late. Before going, he was
told that his brother should see the
tool returned. After he had come
home and gone to bed, he inquired,
and found that the tool had not been
sent to its owner. He was much dis
tressed to think that his promise had
not been kept, but was persuaded to
go to sleep and rise early and carry it
home.
By daylight he was up, and nowhere
was the tool to be found. After a
long and faithful search he set off for
the neighbours door-steps. And it
then appeared, from the prints of bare
feet in the mud, that the lad had got
up in his sleep and carried it home,
and went to bed again without know
ing it. OF course, a boy who was
prompt in his sleep was prompt when
awake. He lived respected, had the
confidence of his neighbors, and was
placed i'll many Offices of trust and
profit. -

Judge Parker has made an cxccf

have honorcd themselves. and show
their adherence of personal %treachery
and baseness, by his iriumphai re-

in the minds of all good and honest
men which influences them TO crush
out such an unholy and unjust at
tempt as was recently made by Ben
nett Pike and a few badly democrat

to his profession and reflect upon
what he said when noticing his nomi-
nation, viz: that in accepting it, he
made the mistake Of his ite.-(llerald.

Pocket Dictionary.

Webster's Pocket Dictionary, in its
present shape; is a great improvement
over all previous editions and all sim
liar works. In the first place it is
neatly printed, and bound in morocco,
with gilt edges. Then it contains zoe
pictorial illustrations, which give a
much clearer idea of many words
than could possibly be conveyed by
the usual definition. The little vol.
ume, while being no larger than an
ordinary pocket-book, embraces in its
vocabulary a careful selection of over
$1,000 of the most important words of
the language, with definitions sufi-
GENTLY clear, though necessarily brief,
to meet the ordinary wants of any
n requiring its use. Prefixed to the
work are tables of money, weight
and measure, Authorizations, words
and phrases from foreign languages,
rules for spelling, explanations etc.
1t is in fact a most valuable little book,
and is doubly worth the dollar it
costs. 1t is very beautifully and sub
stantially bound, with tucks and gilt
edges. The Publishers, Ivison, Blake
man, Taylor & Co., 1873 and 40 Grand
Street, New York, will forward it by
mail OH receipt of One Dollar, or it
caii be bought almost anywhere.
