HAIL STonMs.-A destructive storm, accom-
panied by rain and hail, passed over the great
er portion of this county last Wednesday af-
ternoon. In some sections considerable dam
age was done. In Bradford township, the
growing grain was seriously injured by the
hail, and by the rush of the water, which rush
ed down the hill in torrents. On the ssRidg-
es,'' south of town, the grain fields suffered to
some extent, and we are told that some of the
peach trees were literally trimmed. Some of
the hailStones were of an extraordinary size.
Several persons informed us that they picked
mp hail measuring from to 81 inches in cir
cumference; and we learn that one was
picked up in Curwensville, which measur-
ed sir inches in circumference, and weigh
cd four ounces! A noticeable feature of all
the storms this season, excepting the last
one, is, that instead Of becoming cold, the at
mosphere grows warm after they have passed
away; and hence no damage has thus far re-
suited from frost.

DOUGLAS BETTER Look OUT.-Judging from
tne universal lamentation of the Democracy
on account OF the defeat of Mr.. Seward at
Chicago, and the high eulogiums that Demo-
cratic editors and orators are bestowing upon
iihi, II may turn out that the Democratic Ma.
t'onai Convention will leave Douglas in the
lurch and nominate Mr.. Seward at Baltimore,
by way OF ciinching the testimony of the pro-
fessed admiration which has recently sprung
up IN their breasts for the distinguished Sem
stOr OF New York.

ficers of the General and State Governments,
County and Borough officers, Ministers of the
Gospel residing here, Bible, number of
papers of the past and present day, and many
other articles, which, in future may become
quite a curiosity as relics of the present age
was deposited therein. No ceremonies were

IMPORTANT TO PRoFANE SwEARERs.-It is
not generally known that the Revised Penal
Code, passed last winter, makes all persons
who speak loosely or profanely of God, Christ,
the Holy Spirit, or the Bible, liable to an in
dictment for Blasphemy. the penalty for which
is fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
imprisonment not exceeding three months, or
both, at the discretion of the Court. Persons
dn the habit Of swearing had better be careful,
as no officer who regards his oath of office can
avoid returning to Court all persons who are
guilty of the offence as above specified.

some unknown persen persons and robbed
OF goods and srnafl change, to the amount of
$50 or $50. There appears to be mystery
connected with the robbery of Mr.. 1rwin's
store-ths being the third time within the
year. His entire loss will amount to over
S200. We hope that the ,flief may be detect
ed and brought to speedy Justice, as such an
adroit scoundrel should never be permitted to
run at large.
