On Smfday, July. 24th, the7most .de-

was a terrific stied stann; then followed
. rain and hail in tabs full: I iteiser did

that came doter,. were remarkablei They
were areal! sizes and shapes. One was

have been told that at one end. of Some
farmer's barnyard there was a flock of
geese.. at the other end a flock of turkeys;
the first gust of, wind Stripped all the
feathers off both flocks; the next stuck
there 'all in egainsbut the turheyegotthe
goose feathers and the geese got the tura,
key feathers ,and all were growing the
wrong way. The storm seemed to go 'in
a streak from one to four miles wide and
fourteen . long. Nine thousand bushels
, of grain; mostly wheat, is about the esti-
elated . loss, It was cut close to the
ground by the Itail)and then picked up
and scattered -to the four winds by the
howling blast, leAving the. 'ground as
neat as, though the reaper had passed
oyer it. No partihular _injury was done,
to our town, though the Monday after it
a load of young men- from a neighboring
town came up to see the 'ruins.
