the rain storm which occurred in this
place on Sunday evening last, the 18th
inst. The rain for some half. hour or
moro descended in torrents, flooding
the streets so that they presented the
appearance of small rivers, and many
cellars were speedily deluged. Some
hail, with quite violent wind, accom-
panied the rain. East of us, within q
few miles, the storm of wind and hail
was more violent than here, as we un-
derstand, the growing crops suffered
very much-the corn especially-and
trees and fencing were prostrated. For
tuRately, it was confined to n limited

yer, has Durham COW that has had
twins four times in succession. During
the last fourteen months she has has
four calves. With one exception,

DRowNED.-A friend in Saint George,
Tucker county, in writing to ms under
date of the 18th inst, says:
"A sad case of accidental drowning
occurred in Cheat River, at the Horse
shoe, yesterday (sabbath.) A Young
man named Moore, from Barbour county,
son of Samuel Moore, of that county,
aged about twenty-five years, was en-
ployed harvesting for w. r. Parsons.
Yesterday, in the evening, Young Moore
with some small boys went into the
river to bathe. The boys saw Moore go
under water, as they supposed, to dive.
He came mp and again disappeared in
the same way. The boys called to him,
but he sunk to rise no more. The boys,
frightened at the occurrence, gave the
alarm to the neighbors. Search was
made for the body, but owing, it is sup
posed, to the dark color of the water,
unsuccessfully. Search was resumed
again this morning, but | have not yet
learned with what success"
