House, Saturday evening under the auspi
ces Of the ladies Of the Episcopal Church,
proved success. Speech was enjoined
until the time arrived for the serving
Of refreshments, which injunction was
kept with one or two exceptions, and their
fine was promptly paid. It was ludicrous
to witness the efforts of those present to
abstain from talking, and several delayed
their attendance until after the talking
commenced. When the ladies did have
an opportunity to communicate their ideas

is to be made, from eur acquaintance with
the record of VIM. A. Howard for years,
both as a public man aud as citizen, the

their Governor. He has filled several po-
sitions Of trust and honor with credit and
ability. It seems but a few years since

obtain funds to pay Ills college expenses.
Since those days Of his adversely and hard
struggles, he has met the reward that hon

brings. Michigan has sent him as its
Representative to Congress, and have re
posed other Offices of trust to his nlanag-
ment. A kind, christian and benevolent
gentleman, constitute part of his noble
attainments.

their creation, silks satins, yelYets, and
snowy laces such as enYelop the form, like
an encasing snow drift. Some of them
