ohle In this county on tuesday oil last week,
which destroyed almost every vegetabls
within its track and broke large quantities
of glass, &c. Our informant. who Is man
OF respectablliiy and intelligence, states
that many Of the hail stones which be saw
were as large as bulternuis; and after the
storm abated he ascertained by ac tual meas
urement that the hail was in many parts of
his meadow four inches deep! Happily
the track of the storm was only about haif
mile IN width, and spent its force without
making any considerable progress.
In ourivalley hail Of large size is never
known 10 fall and The reason, on The COM
mon theories, may be, either that our
mountains act as conductors for the cleo.
trio iiuid, aud thus preserve an equilibrium.
or, the summit OF our mountains being high
or than the Clouds IN ordinary thunder
storms, may oppose n sufficient obstacle
Ia prevent the effect which would be pro-
duced by the meeting oftwo currents OF
AR OF different temperatures. During the
last three sumlDers hail of a lurge size has
fallen all nrnund us, and on the north west
within the distance OF Il few miles; but noue
las Fallen ~ the valley ofo larger size than
peas, and very littlc OF any size at ALL
