The selection Of the instructors
and the variety Of the specialists to-
gether with the general satisfaction
given on all sides reflect especial
credit upon the efforts of Professor
Bowersox. The movement to pub.
lish the proceedings Of the institute
is thing that should have been
done long ago and thus place Snyder
county on an equality with her sister
counties. On the whole, the insti
tute was pronounced by the oldes
teachers the most successful insti
tute held for years.

New Ground for Divorce.

A new ground for divorce is that
of a sensitive San Francisco husband,
copy of whose petition was shown
to us by a Philadelphia lawyer the
other day. The petitioner says
Bleached or artificial colored hair
is easily distinguished as such and
does not appear natural, nor does il
deceive any person, but is perfectly
patent and noticeably conspicuous.
1t is regarded by the majority of
right-thinking persons as an indi-
cation Of loose, dissolute. and
wanton disposition, and is regarded
80 and commonly held to be a prac-
tice never affected by a modest, pure
and respectable woman" Ladies
OF the soda-created golden locks,
what think you Of such senti-
ments as thesei This husband
claims that he is mortified aud hu-
inflated on account of the change
in the color of his wife's hair, and he
furthur says in his petition: "She
is brunette naturally. Her hair is
of a chestnut brown color, which in
its normal state is modest and be-
coming and harmonizes with the
natural color Of her skin and eyes.
Since we married she has, against
my wishes and protest, and with
intent to vex, annoy, ,exasperate, and
shame me, dyed her hair and chang
ed its shade to a conspicuous and
snowy straw or canary color. As n
consequence of this artificial color
ing she has been obliged to paint
her face to secure an artificial COM
plexion in keeping with the artificial
color of her hair. The combination
has given her n giddy, fast, and
sporty appearance" / should not
suppose any women with any spirit
at all would want to live an hour
with man who said that about her.

ed blonde and to assert under oath

Susquehanna University.

On Tuesday, Dec. 18th, the Dircc-
tors of Missionary Institute met at
Sclinsgrovc and changed the name
of the institution to "Susquchanna
University" The building erected
inlSjS was called "The Sclinsgrovc
Hall" and the new building just
erected has been named "Gustavus
Adolphus Hall' in honor of the
King of Sweden, who did 50 much
To promote the cause of protestant
ism. The new building has been
erected at Il cost of $4,000. The
title of Prof. +. j. Manhart was
changed from Superintendent to
President and the board directed
him to devote his entire attention
from now until commencement in
the interest of the institutions iinan-
cial welfare. DIR. j. X. Dimm, the
former Principal of the Classical
department, was entrusted with the
entire control of the college courses.
Gustavus Adolp phus Hall will be
dedicated at next commencement.
The change of name ofthis flourish
ing institution may excite some
comment and, pcrchancc, some un-
favorable criticism. In order to
avoid any unjust censurc which may
rashly be made upon this action of
the board, we accept this opportun-
ity to explain the reasons that
actuated the board in making this
decision.

UvALDE, Texas, Sept. "a terrific
catastrophe befell this thriving town
Thursday night, and to-day there is
mourning in many households. The
calamity was entirely unexpected.
The treacherous Leona river, swollen
toa raging torrent by recent rains,
rushed without moments warning
down upon the town, submerging
and wrecking many houses and
drowning a number of people. In
this section such destructiveness by
the elements has never before been
chronicled. In the excitement of the
day, it is not definitely known how
many have been drowned.
Among those who have been iden-
tilted are:
Mrs. Joe Hatch, Miss Matte Ed
