Hail Storm.
The Richland Beacon says:


Last Monday we were visited by ter
rible hail storm, which we thought had
destroyed all the young corn in the neigh
borhood from the way it fell, but it had not.
We suppose the only thing that saved the
corn was the large size of the hail stones,
and the pearness of the cloud to the earth.
We have seen several hail storms, have
heard marvellous stories of large hail stones,
and have seen what we supposed were large
ones, but we never even imagined such a
scene as that we witnessed on last Monday
The noise of the stones falling upon roofs
was deafening, and they were so large that
many shingles were split and some knocked
off of roofs. The general size of the hail
stones, which were solid and round, was
about that of large walnuts, though a great
many were found much larger, some meas
uring nine inches in circumference, and
weighing about a half pound While the
hail was falling ne water fell, and the
ground was covered in two or three
minutes, but it was followed by very hard
rain.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGIsLA-
TIRE
Republican Majority in the Lower Houi
IL Atari

Republican Majority in the Lower House.
Prom the Concord Statesman. April 49,
On every side we hear the question,
"What will be the relative strength of par
ties in our next House of Representatives.
1t is time it were answered definitely. The
Statesman is the only journal in the State
that has returns from town clerks giving
this information. The discrepancies in the
count arise from the fact that other papers,
taking the information in the circulars sent
out and returned to this Office, have manip-
ulated certain names, from hearsay evil
dence in order to figure out certain results.
From returns received from town clerks,
now in our possession, we make the follow
ing summary, which may be relied upon.
The whole number of Representatives pur-
porting to be elected is 329. Republicans,
l66; Democrats and Labor ReforIners, I63.
Republican majority over all, three. At
least four of those who are declared elected
have, we believe, no right to seats in the
Legislature. All of these four are classed
as Democrats. The Senate stands: five Re
publicans and five Democrats, with two
vacancies. Thus it will be seen that, unless
some Republicans elected are removed by
death, or sell out after the fashion of the
infamous Winans. our party will control the
organization of the Legislature, and James
Pike will he chosen Governor.

The Calcasieu Echo saws:

Lake Charles is receding rapidly, but
there is ample water now, and will no doubt
continue to be throughout the summer sea
son. Large class vessels could reash this
place and go a long distance up the Calca-
sieu river if the bar at the mouth of the
river was removed. 1t is one of the most
beautiful navigable streams in the State,
and the people of this parish would derive
incalcuIable benefit by the removal of the
bar, and we hope our Legislature will ap-
propriate sufficient amount for the pur-
pose.
