WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, August l5.-The bar
ometer will probably fall decidedly to-
day in Pennsylvania and New York,
with southeasterly winds in the middle
and east Atlantic, and increased cloudi-
ness, with occasional local storms, in
the interior. Partially cloudy and hazy
weather will probably continue over the
lake regions, but light rains will probably
be experienced in northern Illinois and
Indiana. Clear and warm weather is
probable from the Ohio river southeast
ward to the Atlantic. Cloudy weather,
with light rains, ii any, from Louisiana
eastward.
The latest information received from
the cotton States show a decided i'm
provement in the condition of cotton.
The heavy rains and cold weather in

Storm a. lebanon, tennessee.

The Nashville Banner of yesterday
states that terrific storm swept over
Lebanon Friday night deluging that
town. 1t came up at seven and lasted
until nine o'clock and thirty minutes,
continuing very violent throughout
that time. Spring Creek, which flows
through that town, swelled out of its
banks within half an hour after the COM
mencement of the storm and overfowed
all that portion of the town adjacent to
it. On each side of Spring Creek, al
most from the source to its mouth, the
farms and the crops are badly damaged.
Some of the crops are believed to be to-
tally ruined. The floors of the hotel
and those of quite number OF houses
in that vicinity were covered with from
twelve to eighteen inches of water, and
goods and wares badly damaged.
Drifoos & CartmelPs house was under
mined by the water, and fell over into
the Creek. Two other small houses
Aoated down a considerable distance
into the town. A strong current OF
water ran through Squire Thompson's
house.
A large number of hogs were drowned
The stock was taken out of Greers and
NJ. A. Parish's stables with considerable
difficulty before the food reached its
hight.
The food came so sudden and fast
that very few we're prepared for 1t, and
we're not able to make the necessary ar
rangements for securing their property.
Two houses were struck with lightning,
which, however, did them no serious
damage. M. NJ. Bonds was struck and
knocked down by lightning while at the
depot of the Tennessee and Pacific rail-
road, and a man named Witt was Sc
verely shocked.
1t is believed that the high railroad
embankment, on one side of which eight
or ten acres OF water accumulated, was
the means of saving Lebanon from a
food which would have occasioned i'm
mense loss'of property and perhaps of
life. The town ia Gitpated in kind of
basin and therefore peculiarly exposed
to the danger Of inundation.
