On Friday evening" the 18th inst, masque
social, for the benefit of the sunday school,
was held at Rix's corners, Kalamazoo county.
Over one hundred persons were present, two
thirds OF whom were in costume. Many OF the
costumes were quite elegant, while others we're
exceedingly grotesque. The most beautiful
costume was Morning" the wearer being
enveloped from head to foot with a starry veil.
" The Red Cross knight " was one Of the most
noticeable Although Mrs. o. M. Stevens and
Mr.. A. Holmes did not exhibit in their Indian
costumes which attracted so much attention
at Mattawan, the company were partially COM
pensated for their absence in the representa-
ton OF the "Swamp Angel" by Mrs. a. Holmes.
When she made her appearance quite late in
tho evening, with her lovely dropping wings,
the effect was indiscribable, and all other
costumes in the room sank into Insignfcance.
Mrs, Darlington was not present. but Mrs.
Blake, on her return from the "White Mount
ings called and extoed her "Never-faillng
remedy for Neuralgia" Italian ballet dancers,
and a number OF other characters we're repre-
scented, which we have not room to enumerate.

body had good time. The sum OF SIG was

From the report OF the Secretary OF the
National Grange, we learn that in 1875 the
total membership WAS 1926 but that it
dropped to 5SS, 9S7 in 1876, averaging 80 men,
bers to the grange. The cause assigned for
this great decrease is mainly that deputies, in
some States, overdid the matter IN organizing.
More Oranges were organized than the terri
tory would support. Some of these died OF
inanition, others consolidated, while many sur
rendered charters in disgust. In 1873, there
were 1 1862 Oranges and 10,579 now ones were
organized that year; in 1874, $3.50; in 1875,
2,O12; and in the year ending Oct. 1, 1875, s55.
The Secretary INDUCES in q little figuring" as
follows: He estimates each Grange as being
composed Of 20 families of five persons each.
or lis members, so that the active Oranges
number 34s, $40 families, or 1,754, $50 souls.
That the shrinkage OF numbers is a healthy
one is inferred from the fact that while the
number Of Oranges had decreased 1917 per
cent, the number Of paying members had been
reduced only 221S per cent, and the average
strength OF each Grange has risen from 3lIS
TO 40.
