The Richmond Enquirer will, no doubt,

Letcher, and was intended to be applied
for the benefit of the people of Kentuc-

Hall &orm.-On Monday evening,
10th instant, one of the most awful Hail
Storms occurred in the neighborhood of
Loyds, in Essex county, that we recol-
lect ever to have heard of. Our inform
ant states, that the hail, some of which
were as large as goose eggs, commenced
falling about half-past 7 o'clock, P. Nj.
and continued about half an hour, when
it covered the ground to the depth of six
inches. On the day after, one hail stone
was picked up out of ditch of water,
which measured six inches in circumfer
ence. The hail fell over a district of
country about two miles wide and ten
in length. Within its range the trees
were entirely stripped OF their leaves,
and the crops of corn and garden produc-
tions totally destroyed. One gentleman
had six or eight hogs killed,-Freder-

gives us sincere pleasure to state, says the

an early compromise is likely to be efec.

The former proposed to construct the ca
nal from the Point of Rocks to Harper's
Ferry, at the estimate made by the En-
gineers, 60 feet wide and 6 feet in depth
before the close ofthe ensuing year ,leav-
ing room for the completion Of theii own
enterprise; and guarantee its durability
and to keep it in repair for five years.

lance OF this proposition. We cohprat-
ulate the public upon the removalof all
the difficulties which heretofore piesent-
ed themselves at the Point of Roofs.
