Crops, etc Washington, June 21.-A terrific
thunder storm, at about three o. clock this after.
noon, passed over this city, and for ten or fifteen
minutes hail stones OF an enormous size fell -
Some OF the stones weighed from five to six
ounces There was an immense destruction of
skylights, windows of churches, public and pri-
vaie buildings. and government cOnservutories.
Several private galleries Of art were seriously
damaged trees were half stripped of their foli-
age, aud grain, vegetables and shrubbery were
oeaten TO the earth. There are some cases of
horses and cows which were severely cnt. =
The storm extended twelve miles in breadth
and ats course was from the southwest 10 the

are undoubtedly greatly injured, if not entirely
ruined.
