The western section of our county was
visited with a severe hail storm last Fri
day. In some fields Of corn on Little
Chucky, scarcely a whole blade was left
upon the stalk, and in the fence corners the
hail lay over half foot deep. In the
neighborhood Of Samuel Stephens, in the
Cove, the halls reported to have lain three
feet deep in some of the holIows after the
storm.--tireeRevWc Union, Jug2.
HEAVY HAIL SToE0I, The hail storm
of last Friday seems 10 have done good
deal of damage. We hear Of it in Knox
and other counties Horth Of the Tennessee
river, where the fall Of hail was tremendous.
At Lenoirs, Rofne county, the corn and
oats were much injured; also, in the Sweet
water Valley. In this Immediate neigh
bOThOod, the storm was less severe, and no
damage was done that We have heard Of

WHEAT.-Our farmers are threshing out
their wheat, and will soon have il all out /
and ready for market. With the exception |
of the thinness of the stands generally, |
there are very few complaints. The grains |
are large and tine, and altogether con-
siderable increase over the usual yield will |
be realized, owing TO the fact that greater |
bredth Of land was soWn down last season. |
Buyers here are offering 81 SIS to 81 60 |
per bushel. We believe about all the /
varieties have been tested this season, |
and the Amber is pronounced the best. Il /
seems to be the almost universal fayorite |
