A STATEMENT

The undersigned, members of the Exccu-
tive Committee, respectfully report that in
pursuance of the duty enjoined upon them
by the Bylaws, they have examined the
books and accounts of the Company, and
find its condition to be, on the 31st Dccem-
Der, 1878, as set forth in the subjoined
statement
1t will be perceived that the losses by
fire and paid by the Company during the
year 1873, have been ola very large amount,
making with those for 1872 about Forty
thousand dollars FOR the two past years.
Notwithstanding the heavy losses sustain
ed by the Company, it is n matter of great
qualification that its condition is such as
not to demand the levy of contribution for
the present year.
While it is found that the members have
generally promptly responded to the calls
made upon them, still there are number
who have not paid. The interest and con.
tribution thus remaining unpaid will be
collected by the Counsel of the Company
by suit, if not settled at once.

An Extraordinary Storm.

One of the most extraordinary phe-
nomena ever witnessed i'm this country
took place on the Fourth of July in Ber-
gen county. New Jersey. About quar-
ter OF six pm, in the village of Westwood.
during the celebration OF the day. a sudd, n
darkness came over the village. and. be-
fore the alarmed inhabitants cou q seek
shelter. a violent storm of hailstones de
scended upon the heads of the crowd.
Hailstones two inches and a half in diane
ter, and as hard and heavy "a cobblr-stsnes.
came down in a furious shower. Hens and
chickens were killed in large numbers;
COWS and horses were stunned. The
frightened populace ran ineyery direction.
seeking shelter in shed-, beneath trees and
every available spot. Fortunately the
majority escaped without injury. A young
lady named Miss Bogart was, however.
struck on the hand by one of the hail
stones and her wrist and arm frightfully
lacerated. At the Ridgewater House. in
the village, an enormous amount Of dam
age was done. Not single pane of glass
was left whole in the bilding. and. in
credible as 1t may appear. the hail~tones
actually broke through the slate-rOOf. a if
they had been cannon-balls. The storm
covered an area of about twenty-five miles,
stretching from Spring Valley TO Kinder
kamack. The storm prevailed at its ut
most al the stations of Pascack and Ridge
wood. which are on the IIack-nsack branch
of the Erie Railroad. and the depots are
completely riddled. a though battle had
been fought in the neghborhood. As
late as six o'clock yesterday morning hail
stones were picked up at the station the
size Of walnuts. Through the section of
the country where the storm ragged a most
perfect scene OF. desolation can be witness
ed. Every tree is stripped Of its fruit.
grain-fields OF rye and corn laid low. and
the hope OF hay this fall utterly gone. The
sensation created in the village was. as
might be- imagined. tremendous. Ia
sewing-machnc factory. just above Ridge
wood, over I 900 panes Of glass Were
broken and the slate roof damaged. The
shower continued for just thirty minutes.
and in this short space Of time damage TO
the amount Of many thousands OF dollars
was done. The hailstones. on an average.
were the size Of turkey eggs and of every
conceivable shape. with >harp corners and
edges that cut like knives. During the
continuation Of the shower the thunder
and lightning were inccssant. and with the
screaming II men. women and children
and the -hrick~ of affiight,-l cattle. the
scene was one truly awful.-N. y. Herald.

By the bursting OF another mill reservoir in
Hampshire county. Mass, on the 18th, an en-
tire valley was inundated. several mills,
houses and bridges carried off or destroyed
and large amount Of crops ruined. Fortu-

disaster was the sudden breaking away OF the
dam OF small reservoir, some fifty or sixty
acres in extent, the waters from which carried
away the banks of larger reservoir, some
three miles below, and covering alb out 900
acres. The reservoirs were situated on Mid

THE PROPOSED TWENTY-CENT
PIECE.

In note TO the Baltimore American,
Mr.. NJ. V. Davis writes from the office
of the director Of the mint as follows:
tin your issue of to-day notice para
graph stating that at the next session of
congress it is proposed to have two new
silver coins authorized, viz: A twelve
and half and twenty-cent piece, and
asking the question: why not adhere
to decimal coinsT think the idea of a
twelve and half cent-coin is erroneous,
and has arisen from the fact that in tel
egTaphing to the press q synopsis Of the
directors report for the last fiscal year.
the proposed twenty-eent coin was re-
ferred to as twelve-eent coin, the mis-
take being with the operator, not in the
report. The necessity for such a coin
does not exist. A bill authorizing the
issue of twenty-Gent silver coin was
introduced IN the senate by Senator
Jones, of Nevada, and passed that body
at its last session. Not reaching the
house, however, until the closing hours.
it failed for want II time, but will prob
ably become a law at the next session OF
congress. The object in providing for
such coin was TO relieve an embarrass-
ment which has long prevailed on the
Pacific coast in making change, in con-
sequence of ten-cent silver coin, or
'bit, being the lowest denominated coin
in circulation, our five-cent copper
nickel coin being almost unknown in
California, and all efforts to introduce
them having thus far proved unsUccess-
full. Under the 'bit' system which OBJ
tains there, if purchaser offers in pay
ment twenty-five cent coin for an arti-
Gle, the price Of which is bit, OF ten
cents. he receives only ten cents change, I
aud consequently loses five cents in the /
