A Religious HySteric.

The colored camp meeting at the
"Grove," Gloucester, was the scene OF
much excitement Tuesday evening.
Brother Pollitt had eXhorted his hear
ers to contribute largely when the hat
was passed round aud Brother Geissel
was chosen to receive the mites, he
being accompanied by big mastiff and
also armed with a huge club, to pre-
vent other persons from being too free
with the tin tobacco tags, buttons and
other things that were placed IN the
hat. At this juncture negro woman,
frenzied with religion, was seen to ap-
proach "Dave" johnson, colored dl-
vine, with a huge earving-knife, and,
before she could be prevented, made a
thrust at him. She fortunately missed
her mark, but cut Johnson's coat, max
quite a rent johnson fled, with the
woman after him. Several colored
people, who tried to stop her, received
severe cuts. The woman, at this time,
seemed to be perfectly wild and Hour
ished her long knife in dangerous
manner, making every one flee before
her. The ground was soon deserted
and the woman had affairs her own
way. Some hours after she was cap
tured and taken to her home. Owing
to her religious frenzy no action has
been taken against her by the author
tiles, but it is probable she will be
carefully watched during the contin-
uance of the camp meeting-at least
until change of the moon.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sOlidity, while
the rritten guarantee of the manufacturers
rdrranting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given. from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
