The hardest aud hercest hall-storm We
ever witnessed. visited this region on sun-
day afternoon. On Saturday night there
had been gentle but soaking shower.
accompanied BY Some bail and Sunday
wss very sultry and oppressive. until A.
ter noon. when it began to cloud up-a
bs.vy storm passing sroand to the north.
esst, and from that direction returning.
About four o'clock huge hail-stones be-
gan TO fall at intervals. sounding like
large rocks dropped cpon the roofs Of
houses. Very soon the storms burst in
oil its fury. and the bail came fast and
thick. 1t appeared more like solid
chunks Of ics than hail-stones. It seem
ed o if the bottom had dropped out Of
some ice. house in the upper regions. and
the solid cakes Of ice precipitated upon
the world below. This storm continued
for over half an hour, and in that time
did immense damage. We saw one bail
stone thst measured IL inches in circum-
ference. and weighed one pound We
have heard of still larger ones. We had
. number that measured from 10 to III
inches and Eve. picked mp at random.
weighed 81 pounds.
Out of LA panes Of glass 10 the east
end Of the City Hotel, but II were left
and nearly every pane Of
glass was broken out Of the windows in
the east and northeast sides Of every
house in town, and the sash smashed to
pieces. Shingles were knocked from the
roofs Of houses. panels split from doors.
fencing boards shattered. aod one in case
. hail stone went through roof. shingles.
shee.ing. and all. Some Of the stones.
upon reaching the ground. bounded ton
or fifteen feet in the air. and the largest
ones would burst As they fell. We saw
several Hy into three OF four pieces. each
piece of which must have weighed half .
pound. This was the artillery Of the
storm. After about an hours cessation,
the musketry came. and We had heavy
shower of rain and small hail.
The damage caused by the storm is con-
but far less than was anticipa.
ted at the commencement. The roof Of
The City Hotel. and oil the other Patent
(humbug) roofs. are riddled. Sheep.
calves and poultry have been killed. and
larger animals considerably bruised.
Wherever the hail struck CATTLE it took
the hair of, and left . bruised streak.
The wheat crop hss not been ssriously
damaged. We have heard of but one
field. that was very forward. being great |
ly injured. We have no particulars Of
he full extent of the storm but we arc
inclined to think that it did not visit
rery large scope Of country.
We have not heard of many persons
being injured by the hail. We have
been told Of one lady. living several miles
rom here. who was on her way home
N horseback. when the storm overlook
her. A large hail-stone struck her on
he head. causing the blood to flow pro.
usely. She then placed on her head q
which afforded some protec-
ion. She was also struck on the arm,
ssisving severe bruise. and We under
tsnd that she is still suffering consider.
'bly from her injuries.
A month later. this storm would have
lone incalculsbls damage to the crops.
Z is some consolation to reflect that We
10 not have many such visitations in one
eason.

Terrific Fighting at Ffedsricks

SLAUGHTER OF THE
REBELSl


The most desperate 6shting Of the war
took place ct Fredericksburg. on Sstur-
day. Sunday. and Monday. The rebels
made supsrhumsn efforts to defeat Hook
er's army. bot were driven back esch
time. with immense slaughter. The first
line of rebel sntrenchmsnts. on Freds.
ricksburg heights. have been carried BY
storm. and Hooker is strongly posted be.
low the rebels. thus placing them be-
tween our forces. where they must soon
either surrender or be annihilated. A
large portion Of the railroad track has
been torn up BY our cavalry. bridges
burned, communication cut of between
Fredericksburg aud Richmond. and rebel
supplies captured. A dispatch from Gen.
Leo to the rebel Government. saying be
must have reinforcements. or he could
hold out but one or two days longer. has
been intercepted. About seven thousand
prisoners have been captured, together
with . number Of batteries. and many
stands of colors.
All orr troops have fought bravely.
except Carl Schurz's Division. which
took panic. threw down their guns. and
fed precipitately. almost bringing disas-
ter upon our army. The fight is not yet
over. but the total destruction Of Lees
army is almost certain.
LArrsr.-Ths rebels have been rein.
forced at Fredericksburg. and fighting is
still going on. We have no particulars
Of Tuesdays Sighting. but our men are
still confident. The rebels. have re-occu-
pied Fredericksburg. but this is said to
have been part Of Hooker's plan. Hope
it ia.
The riot at Dayton was caused BY the
arrest of Vallan1igham for treason. In
the evening Eve or six hundred Copper
heads assembled. destroyed the Journal
printing Office. burned the building, and
caused the destruction Of buildings almost

arrived from Cincinnati and Columb us,
and quelled the riot. Let rs pray that
The traitor vallandieham may be hanged.
