Destructive HAIL SroHMs.-During the
last week several portions Of Elgcf.li have
been visited by very destructive hail storms.
In The ncighborhooJ of Mr.. James c. Brooks,
apt. Eugene Bnrt anr! daniel Holland, Esq.
the rtftrts were disastrous. We have before
MS samples Of Corn and Cotton from Mr.. Brooks
plantation, as they appeared after the storm.
The Corn is ridlled and the Cotton literally
stripped to the stalk. Mr.. Is. has lost large
part Of his crop. Capt Bur, has also suffered
seriously; and Squire Hollands loss is estina-
ted at NOME 5000.
In the negil'orhool OF Cheves' Creek
similar storm did grca. injury. Mr.. Samuel
Garlncr, quite 4 larg, planter. is said to have
los. nearly hs entire crop Of Corn and Cot
ton.
These arc severe losses; onr sympathies arc
with the sufFtvers.-Eiyefell Advertiser.

tering heats OF nincty.ive. six, seven and eight
degrees. have been Succeeding by mich more
pleasant temperature. Witherel vegetation
AMI the burning earth has also been relieved
by gracious showers. 4 few miles Est Of or
town, on Friday nigh, last, the corn crops were
mich damaged bv wind and hail. Previous to
this. great injury was sustained from want Of
rain. This wan: for rain WIS generally felt
AMI the most promising prospects Of moath

We believe that som. sections are still suf:r-
ins.-S"mtr Wniekmm.
CarrIous MEE.-Somc men usc words as
liIle.mcn do bullets. They say little. The few
words nsei 60 right to the mark. They let
vnn talk and giilc with their eyes and face,
ol and on, till mt yon say can he answered
in word or two, and then they launch ont
sentence and pierce :be matter to the quick,
and are done. Yol never know where you
s;an with them. Your conversation falls in.
To their mnl rs rivers fall into deep claslns,
and lost from sight by its depth and darkness.
They will sometimes surprise yoa with few
words, that 60 right to the mark like gnn-shot
and then they aresilen: again, if .uey were

Twenty Days TO CALiFosNlA-It is but
twenty days now to California, in newspaper
sense, by the overland mail route. This i'm.
prnvcmcnt in time results from the extension
nf the telegraph lines to Fayetteville, Arkansas.
1t will he seen that the mail which left San
Francisco on the 18th Of June, reached Fayettc-
vile on the 9Th fJnly, and that i. il the lar
gcs mail vet brought Ivy that route. Now that
the Pony Express is disnrganized by the In
dian disturbances, this telegraph extension will
be appreciated. Philadelphia Inquirer
