MethOdists in Search OF u CAM
Ground


THEIR SPECIAL VISIT TO souTHwooD-THE ExcuR-
sIoNIsTs UNANIMOUS IN THE OPINION OF THE
DEeIRABILITY OF THE GROVE.
A party consisting Of about twenty Methodists
aud representing most OF the churches OF that
faith in this city, went out on an excursion to
southwood, on the Wilmington II Western
rail road, yesterday. President Bradford
kindly furnished a special car and be-
slowed many other kindnesses upon the party.
Among other things he paused at Mt. Cuba and
also at the Kaolin pits to allow the witnessing
of the process of preparation of that article for
market
The special object of the excursion was to Wis
it the fine grove at Southwood to ascertain its
desirability as camp-meeting site. After being
landed from the train the whole body explored
the depths OF the woods, covering seventy acres,
enjoyed its shade and with exhilarated feelings
drank in the soft, sweet atmosphere loaded with
beautiful. and the excursionists were unanimous
In the opinion that the grove is eminently de
srable for camp meeting purposes. Its location
is central and very accessible The Wilmington
Il Western and it's connections afford easy ap-
proach from all directions, and the belief is ex-
pressed that no more available spot can be So
Iected.
A good Methodist thinks that this grove is just
what the Methodiste of this part Of the confer
ence needs. He hopes the day is not far distant
when the small local camp meetings which arc
held this in conference will be consolidated into
two or three, one OF which shall be in the vcin.
ity of Wilmington.

The Cost of sneri1f's Sales.

The complaints concerning the expense of ad-
vertising sher.i IFS sales may be with justice ex-
tended to another branch of the subject The
whole process of collecting debt under sherin's 3
execution is needlessly and outrageously
expensive to the debtor. 1t is true,
in fact that the system of sheriff's
fees appears to be arranged on the oa.
sis Of securing that officers large compensation
wholly from insolyent debtors, whose property
he sells. For the ordinary processes executed
by the sheriff, including subppnas, writs,
DO, &c., the fees are go low that the officer per-
forms the duty at an actual loss, while FOR
the process of selling property his fees and COM
missions are fixed on a liberal scale that not only
makes up all losses but produces him compen-
sation that makes his Office an object earnestly
sought after.
In other words, the present policy of the law
appears to be to fatten on the wreck and disas-
ter of the insolvent class ; when man breaks
down before his creditors, he becomes the
legitimate object of general plunder.

A Criminal curiosity.
A COMBINATION OF SUICIDE, INSANITY AND spIRT7
UAIIBM,

A COMBINATION OF SUICIDE, INSANITY AND SPIRIT
UALIsM.
From the Baltimore American, To-Day
painful and melancholy scene occurred yes-
terday in one of the cells of the city Jail, where
a father and son. both supposed to be iaaane,
endeayored to end their earthly exstences, the
son, without word of murmur, submitting to
be made sacrifice by his father, who succeed
ed in fatally cutting the young mans throat. lt
appears that for three years past, l4udwlg Scharf
with his wife and son, resided in a small back
building, in the rear OF East Baltimore sueet
near Canal.
During several moaths they lived in almost
total darkness, the suns rays being never allow
ed to illuminate their small room. The light OF
dim lamp was all they would permit The doors
were boarded up, were also their windows,
and even the keyholes closed; neither the man
nor tho woman would ever appear outside, but
sometimes they would be seen IN the yard
before daylight. The son, who is about TWEEN
ty-four years old, occasionally went out to
the Belair market, and by diut Of hard begging
succeeded in securing some articles of food,
which he wouid carry home, and the articles
thus obtained furnished the means OF subsist-
ence to mn, wife and son. Upon leaving and
returning the boy leaped over the fence. They
refused to answer when any one would rap, and
the landlord upon presenting his bull each month";
had to push it under the door. When they were
ready to pay it they handed the money over the
door. From the manner OF tieir HFes IL Wpuiu
appear that they were insane, and it also seems
that they had mental apprehension that some
one was seeking to murder them.
Last Tuesday the whole family was arrested
on charge Of assault upon persons who sought
to enter thoir house. When the room where
| these people lived was entered ali almost intol-
| eruble stencil enanated from it. A black .and
| filthy bed lay on the floor, and chests and bags
| were piled up in tho corners of the room. A
manuscript book in the handwriting of the old
man, contained record of his talks with the
tangels."
The woman was sent TO Bayyiew and scharf
and his son to jail. Mrs. Scharf became des-
| pondent and tried to hang hereelf with hand
kerchlef TO tie door knob, but was released be-
fore death, and in the Jail Yesterday a terrible
picture was presented. Tho father
| was standing in bis cell with razor in one
hand while before him the son was kneeling,
| with his head raised as il Offering himself 4
| aacrfce to his fathers inclination. The blood
| flowed in copous streams from the boys throat
| when the wardens arrived, and the old mau
| raised his long white beard aud drew the razor
across his throat several times, intlicting deep
wounds, from which tie blood poured il
\ streams. The young man will probably die,
| while tho senior Scharf Is not seriously injured

was, like her consort the Kenilicorth, a slow

ScALDs AND BURNs.-On the in
stant of the accident plunge the part
under cold water. This relieves the
pain in a second, and allows all hands
to become composed. Ifthe part can
not be kept under water, cover it with
dry -four, an inch deep or more. In
many instances nothing more is needed
afterthe -four; simplyleti it remain until
it falls off, when new skin will be
found under. In severer cases, while
the part injured is under water, SIM
mer leek or two in an earthen vessel,
with half their bulk of hogs lard,
until the leeks are soft, then strain
through muslin rag. This makes
greesish colored ointment, which,
when COOL, spread thickly on linen
cloth and apply it to the injured part.
IF there are blisters let out the water.
When the parts become feverish and
uncomfortable, renew the ointment,
and a rapid, painless cure will be the
result, if the patient, in the mean
while, lives exclusively on fruits, coarse
bread, and other light loosening diet.

OLD BoNEs.-Get all the old
bones you can find. Put into a
wide, wooden trough 500 Or 1000
pounds at a time. Take pure sui
phuric acid, $50 deg. quality,) at
the rate of two carboys to a ton of
bones. Mix half and half with
warm water, and apply directly
over the bones. Sprinkle over the
top with dirt. Allow them to re-
main day or two, and, on uncov-
ering, the bones will fall to pieces
at the slightest touch. Spread out
on the floor to dry, and you will
have a superphosphate better than
can be bought.
