TERRIFIC RAIN SToRM.-Yesterday af-
ternoon at about o'clock great volume
of clouds resembling black smoke rolled
up apparently from behind the hill to the
south of Meadow Valley street, causing
several to excaim that the hills appeared
to be on fire. 1t came on very swiftly,
flying over the town in a northerly di-
rection. A terrible whirlwind came up
suddenly, from the same direction, over
turning out-housos, and rolling them
down hill, and causing several women to
shrek with fear for their own safety.
The sky was darkened, and very heavy
rain-extremely heavy for Phoebe even,
began to fall. 1t was blown into liquid
sheets, by the wind, and the water
fell upon the roofs and windows
as if it we're thrown from buckets. In a
few minutes the water was running
down al, tho streets, and in Main street
there was good sized torrent, Looking
out upon the valley from the Court
House one could hardly see distance OF
half a mile, the air was literally full OF
water, and the valley seemed as a ios-
covered sea. This state OF things con-

PASSING AwAY.-There is now on trial
for his life in the District Court a negro
man, charge with the murder of white
man. The leading counsel in the negro's
defense is gentleman whose Republi-
can sentiments has been proclaimed on
the stump many time and oft. The
District Attorney and his associate in the
prosecution are both Southern men
both did honorable service in the Con-
federate army. Day before yesterday,
gentleman we'll known as decided
Southern sympathiser during the war was
sworn to answer questions. The defense
passed him at once and the prose-
eutlon cross-examined him, and finally
Republican Judge excused the gentle
man, not on the grounds of his prejudice
against the accused on account OF his
race, but because the gentleman admitted
that his sympathies were with
the defendant. How times have
changed! Ten years ago "se-
cessionist" would have had a
good chance to sit upon a
Jury in which colored man was a party
