HAIL STORM AND ToRNADo.-On Friday
afternoon last, there were extensive showers
in almost every direction, after avery sultry
day. At Nashua and vicinity, the rain fell in
torrents, accompanied by hail stones, said to
be, many of them, of the size Of hens egg,
and accompanied by tornado which did
great damage, blowing down some buildings,
and many chimneys, and the hail destroying
the glass exposed-40o lights in the build
ings in which the Telegraph Office is located
We have a long list of buildings damaged, and
on coming out of Nashua on Monday, we

trees prostrated--the roof of new brick
building scattered to the winds, and several
barns &C. blown down.-Nec Hampshire Sen

Making four and thrce-fourths per cent for
the year ending in August |, 1916. Said per
centage to be cast on the original amount OF
premium note without reference to any en-
dorsement for former assessments, and to be
paid to the Treasurer, at his office, in Mont
pelier, on or before the 18th day of October,
1916, being the day of the Annual meeting OF
said company.
As usual, list of persons insured in the sew
eral towns, with the amount of assessment due
from each respectively will be forwarded early
in September, to the representatives elect to
the Legislature by whom money can be sent.
The meeting Of the Legislature furnishes to
all cheap and convenient way by which
money can be transmitted; and it is expected
that each member of the company, from
whom assessments are due will improve the OPP
portunity thus offered. The assessments are
due in October; and, in order to meet the
liabilities of the company, must be paid prompt
ly! The directors are resolved to enforce
the collection of all assessments remaining I'M
paid, Immediately after the adjournment of
the Legislature; and it is hoped that the men,
bers ofthe company will save themselves
both trouble and expense by sending on
money to meet their assessments, by their
representatives.
There have been allowed the past year
seventy nine losses which with the expense of
settling and interest paid amount to S 30,926
2S. The assessment for this year 4 and 9-4
per cent raises s 30,217 ~.

her of the Voice that will be issued before the COM
ing election Judged the interests Of the people de-
manded such facts and deductions respecting the
cent acts of the administration as would cause them
to feel their responsibility so fully to act and to
act efficiently at the polls on Tuesday next. For
this reason have extracted from speeches of Messrs.
Collamer Marsh and Stuart, and trust all who read
those remarks win say they arc to the point, and
timely. This large amount of tariff argument neces-
sary excludes Il variety Of news items, which,
though not of special interest, might suit many
readers better than so much on that ono subject.
trust, however, that could they but realize the i'm
portancc to the country Of pcrmanency in a right
protective policy they would checrfuly say, give
all the facts necessary to voters to action,
