MORE HAIL.-We had another storm, or
rather two storms, of hail in this county on
Friday afternoon last. In the eastern part
Of the county, the ncighborhood of Arment-
rout's church, the hail stones were as large
as hulled walnuts?: Immense damage was
done to the growing fruit and grain. Fences
were blown down, a barn and houses un-
rooted. and a great deal of timber torn up
bv the roots. MessrS. Jacob ArmentrOut
and VIM. Linehaugh suffered Il good deal
from the STERN. The former had his barn
roof blown Oft, and the other his dwelling un-
rooted.
The storm of the previous week, did con
siderable damage i'll the neigborhood Of kee-
~zletown, as well as at other places in this
county. Geo. W. Efinger had his growing
crop of small grain very greatly injured by
the hail.-Rockingham Register.
The Valley Democrat says:-We regret
to learn that a number of wheat fields in
this county have been injured by the rust.
We do not think it extends very far. The
