AS with their

there is o wild e

thick coats and hoods protecting throat and
ears, are as conducive to health as they
are picturesque.
For young girls the soft vests of silk
which go with all the new dresses give
sufficient fullness to the figure, and are as
loose and easy as their gymnastic suits.
There is no need Of corsets to keep the
stiff seams in place, and, arrayed in her
Sunday best, the maid of l6, this season,
might run, row, ride or climb with the ut
most ease and freedom. All this has been
achieved at no sacrifice of taste, as has
been already stated, for never were fabrics
SO beautiful or fashions so modified by art
of that higher order which has been hith-
erto restricted to a limited province pc
culiarly it's own.
Another cheering reflection is that
human beings do not willingly relinquish
anything that tends to their general COM
fort and happiness when they have once
attained it. In the matter of dress there
is little fear that the old pernicious ideas
will ever again find favor. The contrary
will be the result, and there will be no

Brown, steese & Clark, Well Known Wool
Dealers. Have Made an Assignment
BosroN. Aug. s--The well known firm Of
Brown, Stoese q ark, wool dealers, Milton
pihce has failed. The firm has done large
business and has stood in good credit, and
the failure viii be a surprise TO the commun-
ity. The failure is said to be due TO the
troubles of the Riverside aud Oswego mills
Of Providence, r. l., Of which concern Mr..
Brown is treasurer, and for which the firm
has indorsed to large amount. The MEM
bers Of the firm are Gideon z. Brown, Of Al
ston, and Edward Steese and Amasa Clark,
OF Brookline. Mr.. Brown is in New York,
Mr. S,eese is at home sick, and MIR. Clark
was ciossted with the firms attorney all day,
80 that little information could be procured
as to the FIRMS condition.
An attachment was put on the firms goods
at the instance Of several banks, and keeper
was Iut in charge 1t is believed by other
men in the same line that the principal losse
viii fall upon the banks, aud, as one man OK
pressed it: "The firm are western buyers, and
the western wool growers are not allowing
anybody TO owe them"
Another merchant stated that the firms
mills at Providence and Oswego Falls were
worth SS00,000 and II they were SOLD
the creditors could all be paid, and a sufli
cient amount would be left to yield probably
30 cents on the dollar 70 the stockholders.
1t was generally felt that the firm would

fecled with foam, and sparkled brightly
with the moons eifulgent rays There
was cool breeze stirring aud overcoats
were in use by those who had them; those
who had them not used other and fully
as satisfactory means TO keep warm.
The moon was bright,
The party gay,
B hree1es &c 'ly famed;
Enulgent light,
On river lay,
While coats were N demand.
All those on board signed the register

served by w. q Farra's walters.
