THE STORM ON SATURDAY LAsT.-Our
village and county was visited, on Sat-
urday last, by one of the severest rain
storms that has ever been experienced
here-causing the creeks and branches
to swell into fearful torrents, OVERLOOKING
their banks, and inundating all the low
lands in their vicinity. Much injury
has been done to the crops growing on
meadow lands by the flood, while the
pelting rain greatly Frustrated the wheat.
The loss to the farmers in this county,
by the freshet, is immense.
We learn that, in some portions of the
county, the rain was accompanied with
heavy wind, doing great damage. Mr..
JonN I. BAKER. residing near Coles
vile, in Berry's District, had his dwell
ling, barn, stable-in fact, every house
on his place, blown down Fortunately
no one was hurt. Others in the same
neighborhood, were considerable dam
aged though to less extent than Mr..
Baker-in the way of unroofng barns,
blowing down fences, uprooting trees, &c.

FRTGnTEyED TO DEATH. We learn
with melancholy regret, that Mrs. Kel-
Ter, wife Of Joel Keller, Esq, residing
about two miles South of Middletown,
died suddenly in commissions, caused by
her terror at tho coming storm, which
swept over this region on last Friday
afternoon. 1t seems that during a thun-
der storm on the Friday previous, the
Lightning struck and instantly killed two
horses and colt, in field near the
dwelling, Of which terrific spectacle Mrs.
Keller was an eyewitness, and so alarm
lug was the impression it made on her
mind, that upon the recurrence of the
storm on last Friday, she follirto spasm,
and died before relief could be afforded
