very small space, and being particularly useful in preventing or
correcting curvature of the Spine, or distortion of the Chest, so pre-

the Facnity to the pernicious system of cultivating thomiud without
due attention to the requirements of the body.

Extract from the London Medical and Surgical Journal. Lectures
by Professor SAMUEL COOPER, delivered at the University of

There is a deformity of the spine aching in young persons who
are growing with great rapidly. especially in females, which does
not eepend on any disorders of the bones analaaous to rickets, but
on the circumstance of such individuals not exercising their muscles
equally, or on their being prev•nted from taking the free and uncon-
s'rained posit'on and exercises most agreeable to nature Under
sueh disadvantages, the spine la,comes deformed, without any im-
perfection in the texture or development of the bones, and conse-
quently there is no rickety dise;secf them. When curvature of the
pine, which has arisen from such cause, is not so considerable, and
ndividual is rot yet completed, the deformity
y letting all the muscles of the trunk be daily
exercise:! in a free, regular, and uniform manner, so as not to suffer
out set to be put more into action titan another. It is rn these
principles that Gymnastic feats and manoeuvres become exceedingly
u•eful in the treatment of deformities of the spine, which are so
common in e; .l- a • .s. - • -....,

CATASTROPHE AT BEZAUDUN

STATEMENT, BY THE REV. ALEXIS MUSTON, D .D., RESPECTING
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PROTESTANT VILLAGE, CHURCH,

AND SCHOOL OF BF.LAUDUN, IN THE DEPARTMENT OF

DROP4E, IN FRANCE

Bezaudun, a Protestant village in the department of Drome, has
disappeared from the map of France. A frightful landslip of the
hill on which it was situated took place, from the effect of the rains
which produced the recent inundations of the Rhone and the Loire.
All the houses have been destroyed ; the chapel, which dates as far
back as the Reformation, is now a heap of rubbish, and the school
and communal house have met with the same fate.
In this unlooked-for calamity there has, nevertheless, been great
reason of thankfulness to (Sod. At the first movement of the ground,
the church bell, being shaken, commenced to tins of its own accord,
and the inhabitants, thus warned, as by the providential interven-
tion of an invisible hand, had time to escape. No one has perished,
but the inhabitants have lost their all—provisions, clothes, linen,
tools, furniture— everything has been destroyed. The crops of
this year are likewise destroyed, and for a long period it will be
impossible to cultivate the ground thus subverted.

In the face of such a dipiter, we cannot remain inactive. All the
families of Be?audun have been temporarily received into the
houses in the neighbourhood. But how is their village, with its
chapel, to be rebuilt?

The whole pecuniary loss is estimated at 65,000 francs, or 442,600.
Towards the reparation of this loss, there has been already received
--from the gift of the Emperor of Fiance, 1000 francs ; from the
Adrninivration of the Department of Drome, 500 francs; from the
Sub-Prefect of Die, 100 francs; and fOOO francs are ext,ected from
the fund raised for beh of of those who suffered from the inunda-
tions ; making in all 7,600 francs, or '304, from public sources.
Various sums of less amount have also been collected by the Pro-
testant Churches in France, especially by those in the immediate
neighbourhood of the scene of the disaster, but a large amount still
remains to be made up.
Bezaudun and its neighbourhood were converted to Protestantism
by the preaching of Farel, at the time of the Reformation, and have
continued Protestant ever since.

It is on behalf of this distressed people that the Rev. Dr. Bfuston.
their pastor, author of The Israel of the Alps, ventures to address
his more fortunate fellow-Christians in the words of St. Paul:
"That now at this time your abundar.ce may be a supply fcr their
want."
