ExTRAVAGANT DRESSING is rapidly
becoming part Of the every day life
of American women, and its evil intiu-
ences are already felt in every commu-
nifty. But a remedy that would likely
be acceptable to society, has never been
fuggesteJ. Last Thursday, while at Nc,
Alisterville, attending the examination Of
che Soldiers Orphans. in conversation
with Col. Bell on the plainness and sim
plicity of the regulation dress for girls
attending the school and the probable
effect it will have upon their manner
of dress in after life. the Colonel expressed
the opinion that if our Colleges and Sem
inaries would adopt for their students a
plain regulation dress, that society would
before many years experience a change
from the extravagant and health destroy
ing fashions of dress to less expensive
and healthier fashion of dress. The sug-
Sestion is worthy Of tie highest consid

THe Mltosias relates the following
incident of the great hail storm that
ragged at certain points on the West
Branch of the Susquebannah some weeks
ago:
A Mr. Grange resides short distance
this side of Bross' Tavern. and right in
the center of the district most devastated
BY the storm. On the fatal Sunday his
wife and all the family except himself
had gone over to the Exchange, leaving
him alone in the house, which stands on
a hill. Across little gully from bis
house is the house Of neighbor. who
had also gone away with his family,
leaving only little girl at home. When
Mr.. Grange saw the storm coming he
called out to the little girl to come over
to his house and stay until the storm had
passed She replied that che was not
afraid and moment after the storm
burst upon them in all its fury. The
huge stones came through the Old roof of
Mr. Oranges house as though it had
been paper. and soon every room was
flooded with the rain, while the windows
were broken through and rain and hail
fairly blinded and confused the lone oc-
cupant. In his fright aud confusion, be
started to run out of the door, but the
pelting hail drove him back, and he
waited for the cessation of the storm, in
state bordering on insanity. All at
once, a huge wall of hail and water
which had been damned up on the hill
above the house. by a smoke house and
other outbuildings, broke from its bonds
and came down upon the building with
terrific fury threatening to force the
stucture from its foundations. Fortu-
nately the cellar door gave way and the
huge mass found place Of deposit. The
cellar was filed TO the height of -four
barrel. and after the storm, it was esti
mated there were eighty bushels Of hail
stones in the deposit In the meantime
the house across the way had suffered
quite as badly. The roof had been bro
ken through, windows demolished, and
rooms flooded, and when Mr.. Grange
went over, after the storm, he found the
little girl under the table halt drowned
and very badly frightened.

The church, in a majority OF the dioceseS- is
making steady and healthy progress In some
the growth has been rapid, while in ali are
evidences of higher and truer appreciation OF
ner sacred and important mission They cannot
however, close their eyes TO the fact that in the
southern and southwestern dioceses there is still
greater weakness and depression and the re
coyery OF the church in those older Jurisdictions
from their great calamities and deep poverty
has not been as rapid as was hoped and
most earnestly desired, as evidence of
progress generally. The report mentions
great multiplication Of home hospitals and other
OF parish homes and industrial institutions of a
higher order in connection with the church
Inc committee refer TO the want of efficient Law
discipline in the church; the need OF a higher
81 ndard OF personal piety, earnest devotion,
and seit-sacrifice among a class of enrolled com,
muncants who habitually neglect the blessed
eucharist, and whose names are retained on the
parish register, in hope that they will return 20

says the church was never more united durinc
