Red Lion Camp Meeting.
This camp, which is near Glasgow, was
opened with the first services on Sunday
morning last. Owing to the disagreeable
weather of Friday and Saturday the opening
services had to be postponed, many of the
families not going to the grounds before Sat-
urday evening. The attendance on Sunday
was large many coming from Wilmington,
among the latter being crowd of roughs
and a man named Duffy. Mr.. D. was dis
posing Of cart load of intoxicating liquors,
and was assisted by female and another
man. Officer Lemon, of Newark, arrested the
trio and amid considerable excitement took
them, wagon and contents, to a justice of the
peace, who fined them $40.
There are q number of Philadelphians So
journing on the grounds, and enjoying the
novelty of camp meeting. But these city
people do not listen to sermon or attend
meeting, for their time is occupied in prone
nading around the circle or entertaining
friends.
Middletown has been well represented, and
as the managers have concluded to hold the
meetings over Sunday Tomorrow it is pro-
per to suppose that every team in the town
will be required to convey the persons desir-
ing to 60 there.
Quite disagreeable affair took place on
Tuesday evening, which will tend to place
the people in bad repute should it occur
again. Rev. Pennell Coombs was preaching
and on being interrupted by number of
promenaders in the circle requested them to
stop. This caused larger number TO join
the belligerent visitors, and on being again
demonstrated with they were joined by nearly
all those on the seats. Such was the con-
fusion that the officers concluded to stop the
meeting and rang the bell for leaving the
grounds at 9.l5 o'clock, but this had no
effect, nor had to or three bells.

Purifying the Blood, are the most congenial
purgative yet perfected. Their effects abund-
antly show how much they excel all other
Pills. They are safe and pleasant to take, but
powerful to cure. They purge out the foul
humors of the blood they stimulate the slug
gish or disordered organs into action; and
they impart health and tone to the whole
being. They cure not only the every day
complaints Of every body, but formidable and
dangerous diseases. Most skilful physicians,
most eminent clergymen, and our best citizens
send certificates of cures performed and of
great benefits derived from these Pills. They
are the safest and best physlc for children, be-

they are entirely harmless.

BIackbird Camp Meeting.
The series of meetings at Blackbird camp
grounds came 10 a close on Sunday evening
last, after holding over two days beyond the
time first agreed upon for closing.
As spiritual success the camp meeting was
not remarkable, yet those having it in charge
express themselves as pleased with the num-
ber of conversions.
There was but one occurrence to mar the
solemnity Of the meetings, and this took
place in the circle last Saturday night. A
Miss R. and DR.. B., of Smyrna, were PRONE
nading when Philadelphia, who it is said,
is engaged to the lady, approached them and
requested the Doctor to release Miss R., which
request was refused and caused passage of
arms and some unpleasant words between the
gents. The affair was amicably settled the
next day in favor of Philadelphia
We are informed that whiskey was sold
during the whole week in the neighborhood
of the grounds, but it must have been done
very secretly to escape detection of the parties.
Owing to the disagreeable weather, the
ifty-three families occupying tents were some
what glad to get back once more to their
homes.
The Election ON the Rules.
Not much interest was manifested in the
election, held last Saturday by the Democrats
OF this county for and against the revised

Crystalline Coating.

According to Professor Bottger, the
simplest method of giving paper and
wood surfaces a crystalline coating is
as follows: Mix very concentrated
cold solution of salt with dextrine, and
lay the thinnest possible coating of the
fluid on the surface to be covered, by
the means of a soft broad brush. After
drying, the surface has a beautiful
bright mother-of-pearl coating, which
IN consequence Of the dextrine, adheres
firmly to paper and wood. The coating
may be made adhesive to glass by doing
it over with an alcoholic shellac solu-
ton. Professor Bottger mentions the
following salts as adapted to produce
the most beautiful crystalline coating:
Sulphate of magnesia, acetate of soda,
and sulphate of tin. Paper must first
be sized, otherwise it will absorb the
fluid and prevent the formation of
crystal on its surface. Visiting cards
with a m.other-of-pesrl coating have
for some time been in use. Colored
gLlss is well adapted for such coating,
which has good effect when the ligh
shines through--Bayerisches I,adust7ie-

Sans Four Bits.
BY JAMES RUSSELL.

On Christmas Eve, Sam hung up his
stocking by the dining-room chimney,
looked up the hue to see " if dar was
anything in dar to stop Santa Claus
from comm down." and then trotted
away to the kitchen garnet to bed.
Whether he dreamed of Santa Claus
and, if SO, his imagination pictured the
little Dutch saint, it is impossible to
say; but one thing is certain, he got up
unusually early the next morning
The day had scarcely begun to break,
when Sans father, Uncle Henry, and
old Aunt Phillis, his mother, were
aroused by a shout of "Chris' mus gif',
pappy! Christmas gift, nanny !!
Christmas gift I done cotch you
bote - Then Sam hurried on his
clothes, and FASTENED over to the house
to examine his stocking.
There it was, just as he had left it,
except that it was full instead of empty.
Full of what?
Lord-ee! what Dig awinge |!
Whats's dis? 'nudder awinge, I spec
no, dis yer's an apple. Whoo! jes'
look at the candy What else in dar 2"
Sam thought that was all; but he took
the stocking by the toe and shook it,
and out dropped silver coin.
Money Wonder how much dis is !?
Bout 'lebenteen dollars, may be-Ps
gWine to AK nanny"
So Sam ran 10 show his father and
mother what Santa Claus had brought
him.
"Fo' bits in silber p said Aunt
Phillis. Dress my soul amt seed
no SLIDER befo' since war times Gimme
dat money, Sam, an let me put itaway
in the big chist."
Now this didn't suit Sam at all. He
had seen great many things 90 into
ode big chist" that never came out
again, and he was only by no means
disposed to let his shining "four-bit-
piece" meet with such destiny. ''No,
nanny" said he; "please JUS let me
keep it. I amt gwine to lose it. sides
dat chist sits right up by de chirlly; an
OF Sanity might come down an open it,
an take his money out ag'in."
''Let de chile hab de money, Phillis, +"
said Uncle Henry; eff he loses it, faint
much, an it'll learn him to be keerful.
Let him keep it,"
So Sam kept his money. Baron
Rothschild never felt as rich asahe did.
He would sit about in corners, talking
to himself and looking athis flour bits"
If ne went across the yard he would
stop every few steps to feel in his pock-
ct, to see if it was still there. Indeed,
never before did fifty cents seem so i'm

'David and Goliath went out fur to fight,
Fur muffin but a silber half-a-dollar-
David up with brick, and hit Goliath such
lick,
Dat de people over Jorden heerd him hol-

Sam enjoyed his "awing," his apple,
his "puckawns," and his candy; but the
charms of all these-and they had
many-paled before the brightness of
the silver. He was never tired of
examining it. He wondered whether
the bird on one side was hawk. or a
buzzard, or turkey. He tried to count

A SPIDERS Large Game.
From the Danielsonville (Conn.) Transcript

From the Danielsonville (Conn.) Transcript.
Many remarkable anecdotes have
been told illustrating the skill and
seeming intelligence Of the subtle spi-
der, but none more worthy OF note
than 8 circumstance which occurred
in our own village the other day, which
was witnessed by a number of curiosi-
ty lovers. In the cellar of Mr.. Nelson
Williams a spider had prepared his
web between q barrel and tub, and
there, suspended from the ground,
hung small snake about ten or eleven
inches in length. The thread of the
web had been ingeniously twisted or
woven around the tail of the unfortu-
nate reptile, and it was evident that it
had been drawn up from the ground to
a perilous position. The spider
seemed anxiously watching his squirm-
ing victim from one corner of the web,
probably waiting for life to become ex-
stinct, when he would probably indulge
in reptile repast, as q reward for his
cunning. The snake remained in this
precarious attitude for thirty-six hours
after it was first discovered, and then
escaped, cheating the adroit spider af-
ter all.
