LEEsBURG, Va, Oct. 3.-The storm which
has done SO much damage in the Valley wa:
only hard rain continuing two days, and soak
ing the ground completely, but did very little
damage away from the Potomac.
| understand that on Masons Island the
loss Of the corn crop is estimated at 600 bar
rels or 5000 bushels. This loss falls in part
upon young MIR. Houser, very worthy mem
Der of the Loudoun artillery, and 10 part upon
DR.. j. +. Mason, who farmed it in partner
ship, probably. There was no loss OF hogs OF
cattle or horses, as they were all housed. On
Harrison's Island there was also great loss OF
corn, the tenants are w. E. and w. T. Hsr.
rison, sons respectively of Burr W. and Henry
T. Harrison.
Tho rain intermitted on Saturday and com
menced again yesterday al o'clock and con-
tlnued all night. 1t was shoWering during the
day and about sunset there was heavy clear
ing up shower, and now the moon and stars
are shining brilliantly.
1t has been very hard on newly made roads
as it has caused them to become very soft and
to show badly, but a few days of good weather
will put them right agan, and they will be
fully settled by the rain.
About the position of parties on the Con
gresslonal ticket [ know but little. judge

There Is very little interest manifested in
