The Storm.

The storm which commenced on Saturday evening
and lasted until Monday evening a rain fall Of
unusual magnitude and the last day was accompa-
MED by wind that did considerable damage
Coming on Monday after days rest from picking
in some of the larger orchards the loss from
to two hundred baskets. Many orchards again, suf-
fered very little i'll comparison to what expected
would be the result There few scattering green
pouches whipped off of most every tree. The low
grounds were generally flooded and corn i'll such
places will be more less damaged. On the road to
Collins Beach, several bridges were washed away.
The rain fall was 514 inches. On the river three
masted schooner is reported sunk opposite New
Castle and the wrecking schooner EdCiR Post driven
ashore near Lewis. The Georgetown correspondent of
Every Erening gives a gloomy account from Sussex.
He says In the lower part of the county there
was prospect week ago on lands recently broken
of $500 bushels now will not yield more than 100.
Many fields are reported to be covered with from to
II inches of water The peaches seriously injured
none scarcely being picked on Monday and they are
now three days behind Only six car loads were
shipped by the Old Dominion Boat line on Saturday
where sc had been. The orchards present an ugly
appearance with broken trees split limbs and up
turned roots. The ground is literally covered with
fruit. The drying establishments cannot find work
men to handle the fruit which they can get at their
| own prices, some paying but 20 cents a basket"

factor in the species of collapse which has
overtaken British industries. Far more
potent in arrangement than the curtailed
consumption of eastern Europe has been
the abrupt and permanent falling off in the
demand from the United States. We have
only to compare the immense volume of
English products annually purchased by
the United States in the decade preceding
October, 1873, with the shrunken exhibit
of our Imports since that epoch, in order
to recognize the most important, if not
the decisive cause of ofEngland's mercantile
and industrial disturbance. The fact is
that Great Britain, Eve years ago, lost her
best customer, and the signs are that she
will never regain an equivalent outlet for
her wares in the United States. Much
that we then bought abroad, we have learn
ed to make for ourselves at rates equally
cheap and of equal quality. Meanwhile
the productive appliances of British manu-
facturers remain organized on a scale al
together disproportionate to the present
scope of their market; and the existing
stagnation can only be cured by a sharp
and painful remedy, namely, the readjust-
ment o. capital to the signally contracted
conditions of trade.

HOW DIPRTHERLA WAS SPREAD.

A few weeks ago little girl in St.
Albans, who had jueG recovered from diph-
liberia, was taken by her parents to visit a
family in neghboring town. She slept
with the children in that family, and
shortly afterwards three or four Of them
were taken with the mslady, and some
have since died. The family permitted
relatives and neighbors to visit them, and
the result is several cases in the neighbor-
hood. They had public funerals, even
keeping the remains of one child an unu-
sual time, waiting for another to die, 80 as
to bury them together; and this also
spread the contagion. The physician was
not powerfully impressed-as some physi-
clans are not-with the contagious charac-
ter of the disease therefore, he did not
take the necessary precautions for the pro-
lection of the eighborhood or of his own
family, aud the result is that one of his
own children has died aud another is dan
gerousIy ill. A lady who went to one of
these houses to robe the victims for the
grave, has called at houses in the vicinity
where there are children, without a0y
change of her garments or attempt st dis
infection, and has fondled the children in
those families, apparently in utter igno-
rance of the danger to which she was ex
posing tbem.-St. Adams W. Messenger.

READING ALOUD as 4 SOURCE OF
AMUSEMENT.

1t is strange that in country whose
language is stored full Of the choicest
works of the human mind, and whose pop
ulstion is, as q whole, 30 we'll educated,
reading aloud "a q source of Amusement
and means of enjoyment is 30 little resort
ed to. There are many families-even in
book loving New England there are scores
OF families we dare say-where book, or
chapter of book, is never read to the
family circle from one end of the year to
the other. The individual members of the
family read but all reading done in the
family is silent reading. Father has his
paper mother her tract; Mary her novel !;
John his story of wild adventure. Read
ing there is, enough of it, but each one
reads for himself. There is no reading for
the whole, and no grouping of the family
into an audience for an evenings enjoy
ment, such as comes to people who hear a
good thing we'll read.
Only those who have visited in families
| where the gift of reading was cultivated
as O source of family enioym and the
custom of reading aioud to the family prac-
ticed, can imagine what help and
blessing to the family life such a habit is.
Music is well enough in it's way, but it's
range of expression Is far narrower than
that of reading, and for that matter far
less practical in it's adaptation to the family
wants. Then, too, singing requires an
instrumental accom- pauiment, and piano
costs money and req aires too much practice
on the part of the performer to be availa-
BILE for the many. The art of reading well
is easily acquired and cheap!y taught and
the expressions Of literature are abandau t
and varied. If sorrow has fallen on the
family, the needed antidote can be found
in prose and poetry. IT fun is called for,
then fun can he had for the asking for
language is so full OF humor, go quaint
and subtle that the bare recital of an
authors words brings the point out aud
'sets the table in roar" History, tragedy,
comedy, wit, pathos, sublimity,-every
spring at W hich the human mind loves to
drink, can be opened aud the sweet waters
be freely given to every one.

Il POWERFUL ARG UMENT.

1t made a tremeI dous impression on the
great mind of Edmund Burke when Bishop
Gibson pointed out to him that "if all the
sects separated from the Catholic Church
were assembled in jury to judge one single
Catholic on each point there would BE q
majority to prove his faith. For where
any Protestant sect raised point, the ma
iority derived from the Eastern sects and
from other Protestant sects would be on
the Catholic side, and where there is an
error in an Eastern sect, the other Eastern
and higher Protestant sects would be on
the Catholic side"
"But," said Burke to the bishop, "there
is one thing you forget-the Pope"
"Not at all, replied the bishop. "The
Fasteners still recognize him as the head
bishop of the Church, and the president of
her councils, and the final voice; only
they say he is in error on some one point
that they maintain, be it the procession of
the Holy Ghost from the Son as well as the
Father, or be it in the two natures in
Christ, or be it in the two wills in
Christ, and on each of these points the
other sects of the East and the great Pro-
testsnt communities of the West are with
the Pope. Aud you must remember that
whilst the adverssries OF the Church, all
taken together, give a majority on each
point of doctrine to the Catholic, that the
Catholic is one of a body which alone con
stitutes the majority of Christians, which
has possession from the beginning and un-

How United States Senators are elected
is well illustrated in the election of o. H..
Platt by the Republican caucus of the
Connecticut Legislature. The fight was
altogether a fight between Congressman
Hswley aud Jewell. The first had an
undoubted majority in the caucus; indeed
three fonrths of the caucus favored his
election, and he received, at different
times, the votes of lis out of the l4S dele
gates, but unfortunately for him, never all
of them on the same ballot. On one of the
last ballots Hawley's vote ran up to
seventy one, within five of the requisite
majority. On the next ballot twenty five
members who had previously voted for
other candidates came over to him; but in
tho meanwhile he had lost twenty-five
members who had gone over to Platt.
Thus, though he had majority of the
caucue, he could never get all of his sup
porters to centre on him in the same ballot.
The result was the election of the candi-
date with the smallest support and the
fewest followers. Such is the history OF
senatorial caucusses.

A Mr.. William Saunders publishes in

United States consume liquor costing them
(at retail prices) S595. .784. .794 year, whis-
key and such like spirits aud wine being
estimated at Sc gallon, brandy at $40
and ale, beer, etc, at 800 a barrel; while
the English excise returns show CON

English prices, Mr.. Saunders declares that
Americans they would spend annually Gully
