May the people â- â€¢{ Clarksburg and vicinity treat him kindly The heavy rain fall of last week was the heaviest ever known here. The storm, which began at 8 30 Monday ev eniiig, lusted until some time Wednesday niitht witliout iniermiasioii, and it ia be- lieved that nearly a foot of rain fell during that time. Considerable damage has been done to growing crups as well as hay, everything beiua levelled to the ground. Just what tlio damage will amount to ramiol be estimated as any- thing of the kind has naver heretofore be^ii known. In connection with this it ii interesting to note that more or less rain has fallen in this section every day since July 13 until the 30ih. The To- ronto observatnry people tell us that this storm was the greatest recorded since the erection of the observatory in 1841 We had the pleasure of a call on Mon- day last from Uov. .A. B. Deinill of De- mill ladies' colleu'e, St. Catharine*. Mr. Demill was here in the interests of his institution. This college was formerly situated at Osliawa and was burned down on the Gth of April, 189C, after which it was removed to St. Catharinen, starting operations in September last in a mag- nilicent building capable of accommo- dating 200 pupils. Last term there were 111 pupils in attendance. We beliera the terms are lower at this institution than at any other of a like nature on the continent, while the standard of educa- tion is ijuite as high, the terms being l^lCofora full year's tuition, including board and washing. This carries with it an extensive course in all the English branchesâ€" tine arts, lani:UMge«, music, eliKUiion, typewritin?, etc, ate. The institution ia doing an excellent work, and any person nee<Ung the services of a !{ood ladies' college should coiuiuuriicate with Mr. Demill. Pbi<50NAL.3 Lacrosse About seventy supporters accompanied our lacrosse te.uii lo Markdale on the 30ih, to witness their return f^me with the Aberdcons of that place. After the scare which the team with the high suunding name received on the 19th, it was expected that oveu on their own to- boggan slide they would have a close call; but from the f;ice 'iB' it was only too ap- parent lli.tt thi.s»a» Floheit r.'.H duy off Oiir playL'18 o;Ter lio exi-use fur their de- foat, adiiiittiii;; that •â- n this occinion they wore outi-Uycd.
