HAIL AND RAGN.-The storms of
the past few days have been almost
terrible. The ioll of rain has been
almost incessaut and the low land
has been flooded, rhile the strei ms
have been very high.
On Wednesday afternoon last there
was a terrible hail storm, accompanied
by heavy wind. Hail stones as large
as a walnut fell, We have been unable
to learn as many particulars regarding
the matter as we would like, but
have enough to give some idea Of
the destruction caused by the storm.
The storm passed through part
of Jackson, Hopewell, Seneca, Clin-
ton and Eden townships. In some
places it was about a mile aud halt
in width and in others considerably
less,
In tho neighborhood Of New Rel
gle, field after 6cld Of wheat was de-
stroyed by the hail, and most of the
fences were blown down, and where.
ever the storm swept devastation
marked its course.
We can itemize but few of those
suffering from the storm, and can on.
ly say that the neighbors Of those
mentioned met with losses equally as
bad.
Mr., Joseph Louzway, living in the
northern part of Seneca township,
had field of wheat of thirty acres
entirely ruined, and his clover was
cut down. The windows in his house
were all broken. His loss is es-
tim1ted at about 5000.
About four and half miles south
of Tihn the ruin was equally y as great,
A Mr.. Gilliek lost largely in mis- crops,
and had Eve acres Of fine timber land
blown down and his fences were
prostrated.
The barn Of Daniel Reeme, OF Eden
township, was moved several feet, and
heavy log on wagon was blown
several rods by the force of the wind.
He also suffered largely in loss OF
irnit trees, timber, etc.
Near Melmore a large barn was
tipped over
1t is impossible to give any idea oI
the loss the storm brought about, but
wherever it struck, ruin followed
Taking the high water and the hail
together the injury done is great.
Hancock county was also visited
with the same storm, and the loss
there is as much as in Seneca county,
while many other counties received
great damage.
Don't forget the Stock Sales on
Tuesday next. 1t is hoped that the
