HAIL SrORM.-Yrs,erday, about a quar-
ter after l O'Clock, p. NJ. and just as the first
heat between Ariel md Eagle was concluded, a
cloud heavily charged, suddenly came up, and
in the space OF about ten minutes, poured upon
our town larger quantity OF Hail than we have
seen for many years. The stones were unusu-
ally large, from the size Of marbles to an inch
and quarter IN diameter, OF various, aud some
of beautiful and regular forms, The. GENRE re-
sembling tongealed snow encircled by Il large
,ransparenl rlng. For a considerable time al.
ter the hail ceased, gallons OF stones might
have been collected in the streets.
The hail storm was succeeded by torrents OF
rain, wind and severe thunder and hghtnins.-
From the damage done to enclosures, trees, sc,
in town, we infer that this storm must have
been very destructive 10 crops IN the vicinity.
Part of a chimney, on Bush street, was blown
down, and other injury sustained, the parlicu-
lars Of which we have not learned.
