Yesterday about quarter after o.
clock, p. N. and just as the first heat
between Ariel and Eagle was conclud-
ed, cloud heavily charged, suddenly
came up, and IA the space Of about Ten
minutes poured upon our town larger
quantity OF Hal than we have seen for
many years The stones were unusu-
ally large, from the size Of marbles to
an inch and a GusFter in diameter, Of
various, and some Of beautiful and reg
uiar forms, the center resembling con-
seaied snow encircled BY Large trans.
parent ring For considerable time
after the hail ceased, gallons of stones
mlgh, have been collected in the streets.
The hail storm was succeeded by tor
rents OF rain, wind and severe thunder &
lightning. From the damage done to
enclosures, trees, SIC in town. we infer
that this storm must have been very de-
structive to crops in the vicinity. Part of
a chimney on Boush street was blown
down, and ether injury sustained, the

Ter had been annoyed for days by a
noise IN the chimney of his store, made
by large numbers of sasllows, which,
by the vibration Of tneir wings acting
on the confined air. occasioned pumb
ling like distant thunder. On Wednes
da, last his son and another person made
an opening from the lower part of the
chimney Into the counting room, then
ascended the roof, and oy letting down
into the Hue OF the chimney board
SO as to nearly I'll the passage, drove
goo swallows into the room; where they
clung TO the walls, windows, SIC. They
we're caught and put into box with
open places on one side for the admis
sion OF ig aud AIR. The next morn
ing the board was again used and Ii9
swallows were forced down into the
room, and placed in the boz with the
others, making 10 all SIS 50 many Of
these little birds IN one cage, presented
novel sight. They adhered to the
sides. and clustered together at the
corners, hanging upon Que another like
a swarm OF bees. They were released
from confinement the same day. and
resumed their twlttering notes and rapid
flights
