Mills upwards of 81, 900 worth of nails
were destroyed. Houses in every part
of the city were badly damaged.
INJURY TO FRUIT.
In the country the damage 40 the
vineyards and orchards is incalculable.
The vineyards Of Capt. Crawford and
the Wheeling and Belmont Wine
Association, were each damaged to the
extent of 5000. The numerous grape
ries in the vicinity suffered to IKE
extent. The crop of grapes this year Is
doubtless three-fourths destroyed and
that of next season materially lessened.
It would be easy TO, figure the loss III
this product alone as high as $4,000
or the wheat and corn we will not at"
tempt an estimate.
OTHER MATTERS.
On the Martinsville ferrey boat, as
she was crossing the river between her
usual landings, a horse attached 10
buggy became frightened and leaped
overheard, carrying the buggy Win
him. This folly cost him his life. Inc
costly stained glass windows in the
Cathedral were damaged to an alarm
ing extent. Daniel Thornbur8, OF
Triadelphia, was caught In the storm
east OF the city, and bruised and cut by
the stones so that his wounds bled very
freely. His appearance was like a
butcher fresh from the slaughter house,
so much of the "ruby" did he lose. His
injuries were not of a dangerous char
acter.
THE EVENING SHOWER.
We have stated that the sun shone
out after the first storm. Such was the
case. From $3.50 till sunset that nebu-
lous orb deceived US into the opinion
that the storm was over, but In the
neighborhood of eight O'Clock another
cloud burst and shed its moistened
contents upon us. At another time
this would have been termed violent
storm; but coming in so close proX'
unity to the one of the afternoon, II
was but little thought of. The torrent
of Water coming down Monroe Street.
resembled the mountain streams Of
Switzerland and the Alps. The cellars
on Market Street which were not COM
pletely filled before, were then supplied
with an abundance. In some uufinish'
ed buildings the water in the cellars
was even with the sidewalk, and six
or eight feet deep. The street cars Of
course was obliged to stop running dur
ing the severest blast, and can readily be
excused for doing 80. Wheeling has
never before witnessed such weather
and we hope it will be long ere she does
again. We omitted to state that Mr.
Robert Sweeney, who was on
horseback during the fall of hail. was
severely injured. His animal slipped
and! fell upon him, ipjuring his shoulder
and probably fracturing the collar
bone. The physician thinks that he
will recover. Other incidents and &C
cidents by field and flood keep coming
in upon US, but our space will moi
admit of more lengthy report.

Hon. Gilbert c. Walker, the Governor
elect of Virginia, visited Richmond on the

ception. The telegraph furnishes the fol-
lowing account of it: "The day was made
holiday for his reception. He was met at

A committee composed equally OF the most
prominent white aud colored citizens was at

Something Wrong an Macon.

No Macon Ga, papers have been re-
ceived here since the lst, and it is supposed
that the trouble in the Macon postofice
in consequence of the negro Turner king
possession is the cause. It is said to be
the determination Of the government to
force Turner upon the people of Macon,
as their postmaster, at all hazards and
to this end, knowing the opposition he
would meet with and failure to obtain
any Of the old white employees to work
in the Office under or with a negro, Turner'S
deputy, an educated mulatto, was sent
from Washington several weeks ago to
work in the Nashville Postoffice in order
to acquire a knowledge Of the business.
This man remained here until Thursday,
when he started for Macon. If Turner
can not get along, he ia instructed to make
q requisition for assistance upon the De-

.
+ 4 goodly number of persons assembled
at MeClure's Temple of Music last evening
TO see an organ which has just been manu-.
featured in Nashville, an enterprise of
which our friend Mcclure is the protector.
The powers Of this new. instrument we're
fully tested by Prof Weber, who pro-
nounced it decided success and his
opinion in such things is au tait. This
organ was built for Zion Church, 10 the
Frierson settlement, some few miles from
Columbia, at a coat of $3.50. 1t has two

terror is nine feet high, six feet wide and
two and half feet deep Mr. Hahn, the
maker, who is Old sttchee of the house,
may well be congratulated upon his sue
cess.
We understand that Mcclure has re-

one of much larger size for that building.
