VIOLENT HA1L-SroRM.-A most vio-
lent and destructive hail.storm occurred
IN Dlnwiddie county, Va, on Wednea-
day of last week. A letter from Hat CHI.
er's run, eight miles from Petersburg,
says:
The wind blew very severe, and the
hail fell for about an hour. 1t was fully
as large as awalnut or partridge egg.
The hail was in many places 4 or 5 in
ches deep. 1t, in many places, nearly
ruined the wheat crop, destroyed all
kinds Of fruit, and in many cases of young
fruit trees, destroyed the trees them.
selves. Several of the trees in the yard
were blown down. | had also one of
my negro houses blown down"
In the county Of Prince Georges, al
so, the hail lay on the ground to the
depth of two feet. Doubtless a good
deal of damage was done TO the wheat,
whichis now heading rapidly"

The ELEcTloN.-We have seen no
prociarGation from the Governor, nor
motto. from the Sheriff in relation to the
election to vote on the new Constitution,
on Wednesday, the 4th day of June.
We believe such proclamation and no.
tce would have been proper; but as
they have not appeared, the judges of
elections in the several districts of the
county, had better be at their posts on
the day specified, prepared to hold an
election, as provided by the act author.

Findlcy Of Baltimore, 80 years OF age,
is missing and supposed to be lost.
THE New CoNsTlrUTloN.-We send
the new Constitution to-day to our SUBJ
scribers in the county, SO that they may
read it and vote on it as they choose.
There are in it, in our opinion, some
changes for the better and some for the
worse, and we shall not take the liberty
of recommending itsrejection or adop-
ton; preferring to leave each reader to
read it for himself and come to his own
conclusion in regard to IT.
A spirit liberalization might prevent
us from circulating it, as the Conven-
ton passed the Newspapers by with the
cold shoulder, but as our subscribers
will wish to see it, we send it to them.
1t was to husband the money of the
Stats, that induced the Convention to
refuse to publish it in the newspa-
pers, at cost of $50 each. Now let it
be remembered that the members rener.

service during that recess, $3.50; when
it would only have cost 800 to have

of the county, at the price named by
the member who made the proposition
to do so. That lie what they call ssrsng

Mr.. Elior,-The last "Democtat' has a no.
tee over the name Of certain Mr.. Levi +.
Boulden, stating that he had presented to the
Cecil Bank part Of one Of lis notes, and that it
refused to redeem it, &C., SC. Making no ref
erence TO the spirit shown in that advertisements
by the writer Of it or his ''catspaw," will state
fact or so, Us learned from the officers of the
bank. The half of the note was not presented.
but only q small piece of one end of it. The
other end, being the greater part of the note,
would have been redeemed, and perhaps has
been, for the specie has been paid for similar
pieces at the counter Of the bank If Mr. Bould-
en- were PRIVILEGED to draw the cash for such
pieces of notes, he could easily get two or three
dollars for one. No man has a right to receive
such parts of n note with the expectation that
they will pass; nor will his excuse that he lost
the other part---it being the greater part-avail
He had as well argue that should he lost a whole
note, the bank must pay the loss losing so great
part of it is equivalent to losing all. 1t is q
small business to try to raise prejudice against
the bank on so small foundation. GRANITE.
