an inmate since early childhood. Deprived
of sight and hearing when go young that
no memory Of anything learned through
the eye or ear remained with her, with
even the sense OF smell obliterated and
that OF taste much impaired, the single
sense of touch alone remained; yet
through this one sense, by teachers Of
exquisite skill and indomitable perse-
yeranee, this sorely afflicted child learned
to read and write we'll, converse intelli-
gently and to do needlework, knitting and
many other things. Through this single
avenue Of communication avenues Of in
strucuon were opened up to her naturally
bright mind SO that she acquired very
fair education, attained to an interest In
the news of the day and lived not only q
peaceful ind happy but useful life; use.

sense that her career gave encouragement
aud incentive for the betterment OF the

MiLroBp, Mey g2.-This viclnity WIS
visited last evening, ut Bbout 10 o'clock
by one OF tho most severe hail storms
that has ever been known in these parts.
II lasted three or four minutes and con-
sequently little damage is supposed to
have been done. The hail stones were
as large as cherries. The storm came up
very suddenly and was proceeded by
sharp flashes OF lightning. After the fall
OF hail o4ased rain fell in torrents for
several minutes and the Mispi!iion river
was greatly swollen. The street beds
were considerably damaged by the wash

The bail storm appears to have been only
local affair, as information for the
