feet, with L 25 by 20 feet) and two stories

feet wreck Of the building. A cooTed man and

but escaped without injury. The new Cottage

dence of Capt Benton Kolner, near Thinking
Spring. The Hay shed Of Mr.. Martin Koiner,
south of Waynesboro', was blown down and
elso the barn of Mr., Albert Bush, near the cor

visited this section, and while we regret the
damage and loss to many we are glad it was no
worse.

born" At Bell & Co.'s Book Store, there are
four pictures on exhibition, by our gifted young
friend, Edmund Berkeley, brother of DR.. Carter
Berkeley Of this city, which are pronounced, by
judg es, of rare merit Dir. Berkeley, from an
early age, showed decided talent for painting,
which he has seduously cultivated at home and
in the Baltimore Academy Of Art, at which In
stitution he took the Prize Scholarship as the
most proficient student last session and his works
were highly spoken of. His Madonna" and
"Ecce Homo,' are the work of his earlier eff
forts and show the germ of decided talent, while
the 'Little Barefoot" and "The Stranger" ey-
hibit remarkable appreciation of natural effect
and artiStic display, which is destined, ulti-
mateIy, we proudly predict, TO ripea into de-
velopment Of the first order, and rank Mr..
Berkeley second to no artist in the country.
