DAYroS.-Yesterday afternoon, be-
tween four and Eve o'clock, not long al
ter the hail aud rain storm passed over
Dayton, the ears Of the people in that
usually quiet town were alarmed by q
distant. strange rumbling sound, pro-
ceeding apparently from up the canon
toward Johntown. Il was not long be-
fore q tremendous body Of water came
Surging down from Gold Canon, carry
ing everything before it-water-tanks,
fumes, blankets and everything OF q
foatable nature. As il spread out into
the fat back of Dayton, many persons
supposed that y water-spout bad "oust-
ed" up Slippery Gulch-but such was
not the case, as the rumbling waters
were only the concentrated result OF the
rain aud hail storm with which the
people of this silver-brick locality were
favored with. A great many OF the sui.
phuret-catching fumes were carried
away, whereby much damage was done.
FLOOD DAMAGEs.-The storm Of yes
terday afternoon washed away Csrpen-
ter & Birdsall's Dam, at Dayton, and
the Ophir Mill Dam, and did the same
Job for the Kelsey Mill. A large num-
Der of failing s~luices, in the Canon,
from DEVILS Gate TO Dayton, were
washed out. About q dozen dwelling
houses in Silver City, situated on the
eastern hill side, were supplied and
filed with l desposit Of gravel, TO the
depth OF three or four feet. Mr.. Null
lard and Mr.. Brown are among the suf-
ferers 10 this respect. The storm is
reported as evidently from damaged
appearauces) far moro violent below our
mountain communities than with us.
But our mills and houses are not so
p~erilously situated as are many Of the
mill and sluice companies works below
Riley Armstrong; Satanic toll lodge.
NuIsAScE.-Mrs. Mary Neary, who
keeps q boarding house just below the
junction OF Main street and the Tunnel
road, is on trial in Judge Halls Court,
this afternoon, charged with creating a
nuisance, contrary 10 Town Ordinances,
in maintaining q d~iIagrssabls hog-pen
and filth on her premises-to the great
annoyance other neighbors. The pros
ecuiiou aud defence appear by counsel;
and the case is on trial as we 60 10
press. Marshal Cummings is evidently
doing his duty under the law.
SYSTEMATICALLY every sky-light
in Gold Hill was broken by the hail yes
terday. W. have not heard Of one that
escaped. Two dozen panes in the large
sky-light over DR.. Beals' Photograph
gallery were broken, and there was
quite an avalanche Of hail and rain into
his gallery ROOM. We dropped in TO
see the Doctor /" under difficulties" but
hs took it philosophically, and saying
IL can't be helped" set himself about
cleaning up things. He will be all right
in a day or two.
LIGarSrxG.-A small one-story frame
building, used as s kitchen, in Virginia
city, west of A and Taylor streets, was
struck BY lightning yesterday afternoon,
and entirely demolished. This is the
report. As it happened about supper
time, it 10 surmised that just then Polly
was putting the kettle on-but what be-
came Of Polly is not known. Perhaps
Leslie, at Piper's Opera House, car tell.
Du tell, Leslie.
