HAIL STORM.

On Sunday afternoon last we were
visited by heavy shower of rain, ac-
companied with wind and hail. The
severest portion Of the hail was mostly
confined to small space, doing consid-
cradle damage TO The grain upon Col.
Psxion's farm near The mouth Of Fish
ing creek, thence passing up the Susque-
hanna river about a mile, entirely de-
stroying about fifteen acres of rye upon
the farm of Mr.. Joseph Hendershoi, up
on the east bank of The river, besides
destroying the garden and other vegela'
bles. What is singular, although the
hail continued TO fall uninlerrupiedly
for nearly half an hour on this farm,
leaving the ground covered some three
OF four inches deep, yet but little hail
fell on The adjoining farms, and they re-
ceiyed little or no injury.

PROBABLE DiUiSt0n 1f fhe MefhOntSfI
EpisconnL Church have given
OPP large space in our paper for some
days past 10 the exciting and important
debate on the question Of slavery which
has been going forward before the Con
ference of Bishops sitting a, New York
On Saturday last the vote was taken on
the main question, to wit, 10 depose BIZ
shop Andrew in consequence OF his be-
ing connected with slavery, and carried. |
To this vote,'h Bishops from the slave
holding States have drawn upa protest
which was read 10 the Conference on
Thursday morning, from a rough draft,
10y DR.. Bascom OF Ky. This Is, by far
The most important document that has
ever been offered 10 the Conference
since the organization Of the Church.
1t was listened to with brealhless suen-
ton, not only by the members and 9TH
ers on the floor, but. also, by a large au.
dience in the gallery. The Protest"
enters fully into the ilegaliily of the
proceeding Of he Conference in Bishop
Andrews case, and charges home upon
The Northern members Tor The majority y
on the vote OF SAturday)lhe abandonment,
Of the compromise which was an inte-
Sral feature Of the establishment Of the
lChurch. L, is clear and explicit in its
Language, elevated in its tone, and firm
in lis positions. 1t throws its signers
upon the inviolsbilny Of the law and
caves it to the country and TO posterity
% say who have been the breakers OF
hs, law. The Protest" is a paper ol
lextraordinary length, having occupied
lDr. Bascom (who is a fast and huen
l'peaker) precisely one hour in The read
Ing. He retains it, at present, for the
purpose of Transcription and signature
and in the mean time, Committee, ,con
,isting Of Messrs. Oln, Durbin snt
dsmIin, has been appointed to draw "
coulter statement, TO be styled %;

). from the present issue on this question
that The Church will split in twain. =
