o. THE RAINS descended, and the floods came,
and the bridges rere carried auay, dc.
On Saturday night last, between the hours of
9 and II, there fell in this vicinity the greatest
quantity of rain that has fallen in this region
since the memory of that distinguished individ-
ual, "the oldest inhabitant." The consequences
are disastrous in the extreme, of course. Bridges
and culverts, and fences, and tunnels, and reads.
are all carried away. Thousands and thousands
of dollars will be necessary TO repair the dam
ages, and ruin everywhere meets the eye. Any
respectable person would have thought that rain
enough lad fallen the week or two previous, to
satisfy the most watery ambition, of the most
thirsty of the "sons'-of Adam.
But if any person in these or "furrin" parts,
ever saw such another Saturday night, we should
like 10 see Him. and discuss the matter fairly,
and honorably, with moderator, each dispu,ant
having calf an hour piece. So much light
ening and thundering--it seemed as though
''heayens whole intensity of blue was darken-
ed for the especial purpose of seeing how grand
a display could be made of the pyro,echnics, and
artillery of heaven. Never in any month OF
any year, do We recollect of experiencing 50
much thunder and lightning, as we have expe-
ricnced in the PAST month of May, and when to
it was added the constantly cleaning flame o:
Saturday evening last, and the terrific and sud.
den pcals of thunder, which rolled and echoed
majestcally along the darkcncd vault Of night
a feeling of subdued sublimi ty stole over US as
we laid our head to rest; and balmy sleep with
downy wings famed us to far off land; and
hope and faith, and JOY, and love, gathered our
humbled thoughts, and scared, and watched over
the tenement that should reanimate with the
golden rays of the morning sun.

not an hour in the afternoon or evening, that la

are larger number who have the dresses, and are
wearing them at home, in order to get the hang
of them previous to their appearing in the streets
Come on ladies', assume your privileges, and do

gentleman of this age and generation, utter any
thing about them, but unqualified praise.
Our private suggestions are, wear the unla.

the knee, and let the pants be not too full, and
gather above the ankle.
God never made the beautiful forms of female
loneliness to be deformed by heavy and slouching
dresses; and when the mawkish sensibties o.
