A heavy rain storm, with very sharp
thunder and lightning, passed over Balti-
more ON Sunday morning. The sloop
Lucy, of Brandywine, and the schooner
Leonidas, were struck by lightning. and
each had a mast shiyered. The stable of
George Sheetz was also struck by lightning
and valuable mare was killed. In the
northwestern part Of the city the Chats
worth and Schroeder rivers were overflow
ed, and the foundations of several houses
IN the course Of erection were swept away.
involving loss Of several thousand dollars.
Heavy rains caused a severe frcshet on
Tuesday morning on the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad, between Harper's Ferry
and Point of Rocks A large quantity Of
earth was washed upon the track at
Knoxville, and also near the tunnel at
Point Of Rocks, and two freight trains ran
of the track. Three trcstle bridges on the
Washington county branch Of the road
were swept away. Travel was interrupted
by the rains, and trains were reported to
be laid up at different points along the
several railroads.
Frederick county, Nd, was visited on
Tuesday morning by the severest storm
known there for years Rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied by thunder and light
ming, and much damage was done to the
corn, fences, roads, culverts, bridges and
other property. AT Burkittsville, hail the
size of an egg fell, destroying vegetation,
and smashing nearly all the village win
dows. Several breaks have been made in
the Chesapeake canal, and ten days will be
required to repair one Of them at Berlin.
The Valley Register published at Mid
dletown Md. says:-Tho heaviest rain that
has visited this section of country since
the flood of 1868, occurred on Friday
evening last. The storm, accompanied by
vivid lightning and terrific peals of thun-
der, commenced about 5 o'clock, and
continued for over an hour the rain pour
ing down in torrents all the while. All
the smaller streams and branches over
flowed to greater extent than ever known
before, and caused considerable damage.
Corn fields were washed, and great deal
of fencing was swept away in every direc-
ton around town. The substantial log
slaughter house Of Mr. Daniel G. Miller,
l. miles West Of town, was washed away,
and Mr.. Miller, who was slaughtering a
beef at the time, just got out in time to es-
cape taking voyage with the shop. The
water was so high along the creek hills on
the old Sharpsburg and old Hagerstown
roads as to float number of cows down
the road. Mr. John A. Crumbine, resid-
ing two miles South of town, we regret to
learn, lost very heavily. Mr.. Grumbinc
has large portion of his farm devoted to
the culture of melons, cantaleups, and
vegetables of all descriptions, and it is
stated that his crops were utterly ruined,
entailing loss of about $500 or 81 900.

GREAT EASTERN NESAGERIE AND CIRCUS.
This comprehensive and elaborate establish.
ment-pronounced one of the greatest comb.
nations Of carvan, museum, hippodrome,
aquarium and circus on the road-with all its
colossal and wondrous proportions, will visit
our city on Saturday, September 9Th. Of the
excellence and perfect completeness of this
grand organization, the press have been most
lavish in their praise wherever 1t has been
this season. The menagcrie department is
probablythe most choice feature of this elegant
show, excepting only the circus. So great is
the display afforded for an appreciative public
instruction that no less than twelve massive
centre poles are required to exhibit il proper.
ly. The new and original idea Of a double
circus performance is not only felicitous and
happy, but strikes the beholder as decided
innovation upon the old order of things. A
double ring with dual company performing
two acts in as many rings at one time, is a
certainly new era in the sawdust business.
