DESTRUCTIVE HAIL SToRM.-On the
18th inst, the northern part ofthis county
was visited by a desolatlng hail storm
In Lockport, moot of the windows were,
broken, and in Yankee Settlement the
destruction was immense. The hail were
of an uncommon large size, and, in places,
fell to the depth of several inches. In
the district visited by the storm, which
extends several miles. the crops are en-
.irely ruined. Large numbers of sheep
and other stock were injured or killed:ahd
as regards vegetation, it truly presents a
scene ofdesolation. No estimate can be
made of the damages, but it must be large
as it passed through the most thiekly in
habited portion ofthe county.

WooL.-During the past week, J. A.
Matteson has taken in about 5000 pounds
of wool, besides carding large quantities
for customers. Woolis brought to his

his terms are such as to induce those
wishing to dispose of it to advantage.--
The large amount of cloth which he, now
manufactures, enables him to receive any
quantity of wool. Asst is the time of year
when farmers usually dispose of their
wool,we would advise them to call at Mr..
Matteson's Factory where they can be

he was found guilty on his confession. He

tween the eyes of his mother she lay sleeping

muzzle of the gun within few inches of her head
and drove the whole load into it. He then went and

had robbed the house and killed his mother The
father found apparently asleep, with his head
upon table or bench, the pillow beside his wife's
corpse undisturbed, and he seemingly unconscious
that she was dead The mother lay in her bed her

had not walked. struggled, but seemed to
have slept the sleep of death.
The father arrested, and, upon the evidence of
his own son, committed to Jail to await his trial,
which set for Thursday last, and we understand
will result in his conviction. Some days after the
confinement of his father the confessed his own
guilt, and declared his father innocent. Both had
