UFA severe storm of wind, rain and
hail, accompanied by thunder and light
ming, passed over Cambridge, Md, on
the l4th inst. The hail-stones were of
unusual size, and played sad havoc with
window glass in every direction. The
tin roof on the new dwelling of Joseph
E. Muse, Esq. was nearly all blown
off, and fences and trees, including some
of the prettiest willows in the public
square, were Frustrated. At Town
Point Neck, three miles from Cam
bridge, the storm was still more violent

last week, between Mr.. William l..
Drury OF this county, and Mr.. Hearn
OF Somerset, at horse race, at Sharp
town, near the line between the two
counties. We are unable to give the
particulars, but report says that there
had been fight between the parties
previous to the affair above named, and
that upon meeting at Sharptown the
difficulty was renewed. Drury, it seems
was getting the best of it, and the faith
er OF Mr.. Hearn interfered in behalf of
his son, whereupon Mr.. D., drew knife
and stabbed the Elder Hearn who is
still living, though in very precarious
misunderstanding Chrentcie.

EOn Monday last a number of sus-
picious craft aroused the attention of the
lynX-eyed kentonans, when the Sheriff
summoned large posse, and requested
the use of the "Osiris," to aid them in
their attempt to arrest the "oyster pr
rates." but the captain, owing to the
wind, refused his boat, when the party
started on ''their own hook" and sue
ceeded in capturing one empty boat.
Our Annapolitan neighbors, however,
were more successful, for on Friday last
they succeeded in capturing the sloop
Globe and the schr. Petrol, both of Phil
adelphia. The Petrol was captured,
condemned and sold for the same offence
last autumn. At that sale she was pur-
chased by her former owner, who, it
now appears, returned to his illicit prac-
tees.
