Terrible Storm.

The northern portion of this county
was visited on Friday last, with one of
the most fearful storms OF rain, WIND,
aud hail we have ever been calledupont TO
record. 1t extended over that section
living between the north and Massannut-
ton mountains and between hratzers
Spring and New Market The seyerest
part of the storm was about three miles
wide. Fencing, trees, &c, were blown
down by the wind, creeks and smaller
streams were swollen way beyond their
banks. while the hail beat turiously all
around. In some places the hail fell
to the depth Of two or three inches a
number of hailstones were rs large rs
partridge eggs, and in some instances,
as the largest sized hulled walnuts.
1t was one Of the most terrific and
remarkable hailstorms which has ever
occurred in this section ofcountry within
the recollection of the oldest inhab-
liant" Among the singular occurren-
ces was that after the waters of Linvlile
and Smiths Creek had receded, great
number Of fish were found upon both
hanks oftbesc streams. One gentleman
gathered M two bushels. Another
incident which illustrates the fury OF the
storm. i the fact that LARGE numbers of

From the Philadelphia telegraph
| Cape May, on the 10th of August,
1869, was partially destroyed by terri
BILE cohhagration. Among the ruined
hotels was the Atlantic, and one of its
guests at the time was Mr.. Charles Rubi-
cam, a Philadelphian, who had at that
moment stored in his trunk $4,000 in
currency, with which he intended to
purchase the Diamond Beach Driving
| Park. The. flames wrapped the ill-fnted
building so quickly that Mr.. Rubicam
failed to secure all his effects. During
the excitement of the moment he re-
moved one of his trunks which he
| fondly believed contained the precious
bundle, but when he looked to assure
himself of its safety, he was dumb
| founded to discover that he had picked
up the wrong trunk. 1t may well be
| imagined that the blow was almost n
crushing one, and it was rendere d more
poignant by the fact that, at the m oment
when, he was congratulating himself
lupon its security, the greedy ilames ESQ
| he then thought) were devouring the
little pile of precious paper. One day,
many months after the calamity, and
when the Atlantic had sprung up more
charming from the ashes, its proprietor,
Mr.. McMackin, received note from an
old servant, announcing that she had
heard all about. the So, 900, and that she
would at some future time tell
all about it. This declaration
surprised Mr.. Rubicam when he
heard of it, and with fluttering heart
he set about reelaiming fortune that be

that colored waiter named R., Clarke,

the time of the copfagrstion, had saved
the trunk from the fire, and she sup

Instituted search for Mr.. Cla rke, and
found him at length in the service OF

found. Clarke openly acknowledged
that he had received the $4,000, denying,
however, that he had stolen it, or OF
having any intention. TO steal it, aud, TO
make good his word, volunteered to re-
turn every penny Of it. From his state
ment, Il seems that after the fire he came
TO the city and bought the house No. $40

turn over, and, with some remaining
cash, the full amount lost by Mr. Rubi-
cam would be restored to him. To-day,

Clarke lost a fortune, aud Rubicam re-
gained one, through a woman who

ham county, Virginia, a few days ago.
The hail in many places drifted from
five to seven feet deep Linville Creek
was so banked up with hail that the fish
became frozen and were picked mp
along the banks in great quantities. But
the strangest of all is that apple-trees in
orchards were stripped Of all their fruit
and leaves, and now have a new foliage
heavier than before, and the trees are
perfectly white with bloom. One large
apple-tree was only partially stripped,
and now it is full of bloom, intermixed
with large and nearly ripe fruit.
