A MEW WEEKLY PAPER. 
On Saturday, 14th of July, 
was issued in this city the First Number of 
A WEEKLY PAPER, OF EIGHT PAGES. 
IT will aim to be the exponent of Conservative prin¬ 
ciples, anJ will be thoroughly loyal to the Methodist 
Episcopal Church 
While it will discuss with frankness and courage every 
subject of Interest to the Church, it will avoid personal 
or direct controversy w ith existing Methodist Journals. 
Upon the subject of Slavery, THE METHODIST will 
represent the views expressed by the Bishops in their late 
address to the General Conference. They are views of 
the aplication of Christianity to Slavery, which are be¬ 
lieved to be sanctioned by Apostolic teaching and prac¬ 
tice. It will resist all attempts, as the next General 
Conference approaches, to replunge the Church into con¬ 
troversy, or to make further encroachments upon the 
provisions of the Discipline in relation to Slavery. 
Inasmuch as the subject of Lay Representation has 
been formally presented by the General Conference to 
the people for consideration, THE METHODIST will 
treat it as a question of moment to the denomination, 
and will open its columns for its temperate and loyal 
discussion. 
It will represent no party, association, or clique. Its 
ample capital has been provided, apart from such combi¬ 
nations, by those who believe that the time has come for 
a larger, more thoroughly edited, and more independent 
organ of Methodism than its established Journals, with 
their superabundant official documents and other formal 
blit unintf resting matter can possible be. 
In fine, THE METHODIST will be an attempt, 
sustained by abundant means from the people themselves, 
to supply their families with an organ which shall com¬ 
pare with the largest and best journals of other denomi¬ 
nations ; which shall command the best literary ability 
of the Church at home and abroad ; which shall represent 
fully and loyally and courageously its denominational 
interests a* well as the interests of general Christianity ; 
which shall be conducted with prudence and dignity, and 
be above partisanship and virulence ; and which shall be 
a representative of the great religious interests of the 
age—a complete family paper, and a decided organ of the 
Church. It will be edited by the 
Rev. G. R. CROOKS, D.D., 
and the Rev. JOHN McCLINTOCK, D.D., 
the latter Corresponding Editor, and at present residing 
in Paris. The Editors will be assisted by an efficient 
corps of contributers, whose names will be hereafter 
anounced. 
A thorough, classified outline of the news from the lead¬ 
ing Christian denominations, and of foreign religious in¬ 
telligence, will be prepared by Vrof. A. J. Schem, author of 
the Ecclesiastical Year Hook. It will present also a 
Weekly Review of the Methodist press and of the New 
York city religious press. It will have a Weekly Sum¬ 
mary of Missionary News. All the usual departments 
of general Intelligence, the Money Market, the Prices 
Current, Agriculture, Scientific, Literary, and Art Items, 
etc , etc , will be provided. Careful attention will also 
be given to the Youth’s Department, which will be under 
the care of a special Editor. Its criticisms of new pub¬ 
lications will be prepared with discrimination, so that 
tney may always be safely relied upon. 
Terms: —Two dollars a year ; five copies, to one ad¬ 
dress, $9; twelve copies, to one address, $20 ; twenty 
copies, to one address, $30. Subscriptions received for six 
months at the same rates. Payments invariably in ad¬

COURT OF DEATH. 
The subscriber has issued a large and very beautiful CHRO- 
MO LITHOGRAPHIC ENGRAVING of Rembrandt Peale’s 
celebrated painting of the Court of Death. This painting has 
long been valued at 
25,000 DOLLARS, 
and is one of the most impressive and beautiful moral lessons 
ever put upon canvas. The Engraving is a Fac simile Copy 
of the original, 23 by 31 inches in size, printed in oil colors 
The original painting (and engraving) contains 23 figures, re¬ 
presenting Death (as a Judge in shadowy obscurity) with his 
various Agents around him. War, Famine, Pestilence, 
Conflagration, Slain Soldier, Widow and Orphan, Sens¬ 
ual Pleasure, Intemperance, Remorse, Delirium. Sui¬ 
cide, and the Aged Saint, sustained by Christian Faith. 
While the lessons inculcated by the picture are impressive, 
they are attractive and pleasing—such a picture as every fami¬ 
ly desires as a parlor ornament. 
The regular price for such or similar engravings, in this city, 
is $3—and at this price only about 5,000 copies can be sold—but 
the subscriber has undertaken to sell 100.000 copies of the 
Court of Death at $1 per copy ! By thus increasing the num¬ 
ber, the price is reduced. 
No Engraving has received more hearty and unqualified 
praise than this,' from Clergymen, Connoisseurs in Art, kc. 
That it is a correct copy of tlie original painting, the following 
testimonial from Mr. Peale will show.

FOR BOYS. 
A NEW FEATURE IN SCHOOL INSTRUCTION. 
A Family School limited to 20 pupils, and com¬ 
bining Mmaiculture, practical as well 
as theoretical, with Mental Discipline 
and Moral Culture. 
Prof. Wm Hopkins, for a long time Principal of the Auburn 
Academy, N Y., but for the past six years, Professor of Chem¬ 
istry and Natural History in Genesee College, Lima, N. Y , 
will open h Boarding School for Boys, at Metuchen, N. J., 
Tuesday, Sept. 4lh. 1860. The number will be limiied to 20, 
and every effort will be made to render the School select in 
character and results All the aims and adaptations will be to 
impart the highest—the most thorough,and comprehensive cul¬ 
ture iu every department of Education, pursued iu the best 
schools in this country. 
The domestic arrangements, also, will all be ordered with 
the view of constituting a happy family and a pleasant home. 
The feature of Horticultural Education will, it is believed, 
commend itself to public favor. Special facilities for improve¬ 
ment in Horticultural knowledge, theoretical and practical, 
will be afforded, while at the same time the pursuit of it will 
not be allowed in any way to interfere with the regular scho¬ 
lastic studies of any who jjiay not desire to engage in its prose¬ 
cution. Prof. H. will have a few acres of ground devoted to 
the growth of fruits, in which he has had much practical ex¬ 
perience, and for the favorable prosecution of which, his pro¬ 
fessional life in the past has peculiarly fitted him. 
The location .selected is most favorable to the enterprise. 
The village of Metuchen is situated directly on the New-Jer¬ 
sey Railroad, 27 miles from the City of New-York, and 60 from 
Philadelphia. The place is noted for health and pleasantness 
of location. The inhabitants are moral and intelligent. There 
are no haunts of public dissipation, and therefore parents need 
not fear in respect to temptations peculiar to large cities and 
villages. 
The scholastic year will he divided into three terms of 13 
weeks each. The first will commence Tuesday, Sept. 4th, I860, 
and continue till November 24th. The beginning and closing 
of subsequent terms will be announced hereafter. 
Terms of admission are $250 a year, one half of which must 
be paid in advance, and the balance at the close of the term or 
year. 
Able and accomplished assistants will be employed in all the 
departments. 
Frequent lectures and experiments in the various branches 
pursued, will be given by Prof. H. In addition, the Rev. 
Messrs. Thompson and Pi.umley, clergymen in the place, will 
give occasional lectures. The former will give a course during 
the first term, on Moral Philosophy.

ITALIAN BJEES. 
A CARD. 
I notice in the American Agriculturist for July the following 
alleged certificate: 
“This may certify that I have examined the Italian Bees of 
Mr. Kennedy, which he procured of Mr. F. J. Malian, and pro¬ 
nounce them pure and equal to any imported or owned by Mr 
S. B. Parsons. 
(Signed,) A. BODMER, New-York, June 4, I860.” 
I have only to say that I have given no such certificate, or 
any certificate whatever to any person whatever. I have given 
my address to several persons. If anything has been written 
over that address, I am net accountable for it. 
A. BODMER, Beekeeper to Mr. Parsons. 
Witness, T. R. TltUMPEV. 
P. S. I have heard it rumored that Mr. Kennedy threatens to 
publish an affidavit that I did sign the above certificate. An 
affidavit may be as easily made as a certificate. Mr. Kennedy 
was at Flushing a few days before the date of the certificate, 
and asked me when I would be in New-York. I told him I 
must see a friend in Brooklyn on the following Sunday.-The 
date of the certificate is adroitly made to conform to this infor¬ 
mation. My friend, the German Pastor, knows that I was with 
him all that day, except when on the road. I am a foreigner, 
and do not understand how such statements can be belioved 
respecting me. A. BODMER. 
Witness. E. A. Brackett.
