serve and will receive the thanks of every
tax-Payer.-ChdttanOoea Republican, July 2.
The unusually deep religious feeling
pervading this community for the pas ten
days seems scarcely to have lost any of its
vigor or earnestness. A number of persons
have made public professions of their faith,
while others seem to be sincerely concerned |
and hopefully PenItent. Rev. Mr.. Bruner
states that revival of religion is in pro-
gress at Sulphur Springs-the people |
gathering in a grove by day and in the
crowded church by night-SweetUate

Han SToRM.-On Friday last this yicin- |
ity was visited by terrific and destructive |
hail storm. About noon a dark cloud |
arose about Copper Ridge, in the neighbor- |
hood beyond Oakdale, and passed eastward |
lyup Beaver Greek Valley and Grassy Val |
ley, in the direction of Washington |
Church, destroying all growing crops. The |
storm lasted about a half hour, the hail |
and rain falling in such torrents as to leave |
hail six inches deep, and in places where |
drifted up, against whatever obstructed |
the course of the water, as much as two or |
three feet deep, and remained unmelted |
until the sun had sscended high in the |
horizon the next day. Mr. Bishop, |
a thrifty farmer living near Oakdale, |
MS thaIh Z had thirty acres |
of wheat just ripe, and which he had
not yet harvested, it being very excel |
lent field Of wheat, and which he expected |
to cut on Saturday, but it was 30 thoroughly |
destroyed by the storm that it was total
loss. The hailstones were about the size |
of a hulled walnut, and thoroughly de
stroyed growing crops in that part of the
country through which it passed. Fortu-
nateiy the scope of country where il was 80 |
destructive did not extend very far, proba-
bly, about two miles wide and six or eight |
miles long. This was at u o'clock NJ. Be- /
tween four and five o'clock P. NJ. another
cloud arose in the north, passing over
Knoxville in a 5outheasterly direction.
unusually large, accompanied
by great deal of rain, fell for several
minutes, leaving the payements and streets
covered in many places several inches
thick. The hailstones blew up against the |
houses and other places 10 such quantity as /
to remain several inches thick next morn
ing. Gardens and growing crops near
town were ruined. Such hailstones as these
exceed anything 10 the way of destroying
crops and property generally that has ever
fallen in this country within the memory
