TERRIFIC HAIL AND THUNDER
SroRM.-Yesterday afternoon and du.
ring the evening, Gold Hill was Wis.
tied by several nice little showers OF
rain, with lowering distant mutterlngs
and t~hrsatenings that finally culmin.
ated In a most fearful hail and rain
storm between two and three o'clock
this morning. The storm opened with
q most fearful shower OF hail stones,
many Of them being rs large as
good sized hens eggs. Then the very
heavens seemed to- open and the rain
poured down in torrents, while the
whole face Of the earth was lighted up
with the lurid glare OF the ~lightning's
continuous fash. and the mountains
reverberated back and seemed fairly TO
shake with the steady roll Of the
thunder's terrific crashing. The
waters rushing down Main street
formed a young river, and for n short
time threatened much damage. For
tunately for the quartz mills down
Gold Canyon. the terrible pour OF
water was OF short duration, lasting
only about half an hour. At Virginia
the hail fell even worse than in Gold
Hill, hcaping up on some Of the roofs
OF the houses two feet thick. With
the rising Of this mornings sun all
trace Of the storm had disappeared,
and the fresh morning breeze was
again waited over the hills Is fresh
and sweet rs the breath OF u sixteen
year old maiden.
The LATE LYNcHING ATrEMPT.-We
received this morning n marked copy
of the Suffer Creek Independent, pub
lished in Amador county, California,
containing the following in relation to
an item concerning the late attempted
lynching OF Mr.. Burlington in the Gold
Iill station-house The many old
friends of Mr.. d. Burlington In this
town and county. will read with I'M
feigned regret al item In reference to
the unfortunate circumstances which
very nearly eliminated in his violent
death at the hands Of a small band OF
lawless, bloodthlrsty villains. Mr..
Burlington has been a resident Of SUIT
ter Creek for nearly seventeen years,
and Is 80 we'll and favorably known
through the entire county Is a quiet,
i~noffensive mar Of spotless reputation,
that the bare suspicion Of his having
been engaged in any transaction III
the slightest degree questionable, seems
alike impossible and absurd. The
feelings OF Mrs. b. aud her large fam
ily NAV be readily imagined. Her
fierce indignation at the d~astardly
outrage, and sympathy with her hus-
band In this most lamentable occur
renee, Is shared by every Individual IN
thls section Of the State, and 1t Is our
earnest belief that Dave will be found
entirely guiltless Of tho charges pre-
ferred against him, and the authors OF
this high handed, murderous assault
upon an Innocent man may DC SEVERE
" and summarily punished rs they de-
serve.
