Further reports from the hail storm
Of last Wednesday evening show that
crops in the section where 1t fell have
been entirely destroyed. The wind
was blowing from the Southeast and

b,cco and corn to the stem, thence
across by Hofman's switch through Mr..
Bob Thompsou's across to Pomfret, de-
s,roying the crops of Mr. Thompson,

The common toad is being highly
recommended to houskeepers as a roach
cxterminator If taken into the house
and properly treated it is sail to become

roachs escape This may all doubtless

that the toad is rather TO careless about

The New Postal Gard.

A design for the new postal cards has
been agreed upon and they are soon to
be issued to the public. The line under
the description of the card, which now
reads, Nothing but the address can
be placed on this side" has been
changed to read, Nothing but the ad-
dress to be on this side" The stamp
now in use is square and the design is a
female head with faces at the right and
left connected above and below by scrolls
in which appear ~ S. Postage" and
Zone Cent" This is replaced by a
head q Jefferson in an oval, with a
symbolical wreath partly surrounding or
tied with a band, upon which appear
the words Zone Cent. The printing
is to be done with brown lux. The
precise time when the new cards are to
be sent out is not stated.

DR.. Holmes, in The New Portfolio,
suggests that doctors patients
must put their tongues out, and a
doctors wife must keep her tongue
in.
To build up the strength of mind,
which apprehends and clings to great
universal truths, is the highest intel
lectual culture.
There is no moral worth in being
swept away by a crowd, even to-
wards the best objects.
All virtue lies in individual action,
in inward energy, in self-determiua-
ton.
1t is necessary to be good, rather
than appear so.-DemoSthenes.
Business depression is said to pre-
vail in France and Belgium.
Disinterestedness is the very soul
of virtue.

PUBLISHERS NOTICE.

Persons requiring extra copies of
any issue of the DAILY BULLETIN,
should send their orders to the office
not later than one o'clock of the
date required. Those DESTROYS Of
securing a file before the sailing of a
mail steamer, can have such pre-
served for them and done up in n
strong wrapper ready for address
ing, by leaving their names at the
Office at the earliest date wanted.
This intimation We find it necessary
to give, from the frequency with
which orders are received for papers
after the issues are exhausted. A
file of daily papers sent to friends
abroad will give them better idea
of life in this group than many
reams of paper consumed in letter.

MAGNIFICENT VIEWS.

AS is usual on special occasions
Mr.. James Williams the photograph
err was on hand yesterday and took
some splendid instantaneous photo
graphs of the procession and the in
terror of the church. From the
corner of King street he took eight
different views, one showing the
band at the head, another the mill
tary, another the choir in SUPPLIES,
and others with the kahilis and
catafalque. Mr.. Williams has also
got set of the interior
of the church, showing the
coffin and its surroundings, also the
kahilis which stood along the aisle.
Altogether he has obtained twenty
different views, which form a SET
that is almost invaluable, and just
the things to send abroad to friends,
as they are taken so clear.
