Joseph Irvine, Of the sar1c town, also suf-

We have heard Of several instances where
hogs and c1stt1c We're killed, and VIC wondered
thaf there was no more damage to stock.
Many Of our farmers have last their entire
crop Uf cora, and where wheat and other
small grain WAS standing, it was a1so de-
Stroycd. Even the grain in the shock WIS
following persons lave lost their crops. but
they constitute only snail portion OF those
who have suffered, viz: Daniel WOLF Henry
Buttcr'z.u.ll, and Samuel Dot,.cr, Of tic

These constitute only i small portion Of
thr Losses that were sustained in our County,
l~in. only 1l.esc whom VT havehrard men.
TONED. St'me idea of the damage dnne In
0gle County may be had from The fact that
tic track Of The stortn in tho county was
over torty miles tung. We have nnty heard
the extclst of the loss fur about onc.tllifd oi
ti:at distance, and from what wc hare learned,
think the loss cannot he less t!lan S1hI0J) in
the county, and may be double that amount.
