 On Saturday, the 23rd inst, the north part of their town, was visited by disas- trous hail storm and tornado, completely destroying the tobacco crop which the farmers will not now consider worth cut ting. The sufferers by the calamity were affected in different ways; few endeav- ored to appear reconciled some wept and others swore The wind blew ''great guns, :" uproeting trees, destroying fences and moved tobacco building belonging to Evander Hall about three feet from the stone work. During the storm the house of Mr. Joseph Burroughs was struck by No damage was done, with the exception of demolishing the top of the chimney. AS MT.

Falls Village.
 The 24th inst. MT. Geo. Hill started out for short gunning excursion in Robbins swamp; coming suddenly upon flock of birds, MT. Hill delivered the charge of one barrel, and as but one of the birds had flushed he attempted to reload the piece. Charging the empty barrel with powder, he was in the act of rammlng home the wad when the charge in the other barrel explod- ed from some unknown cause. Both hands were employed in forcing down the rod. The charge passed completely through his right hand, shattering the bones in splinters and mutilating the flesh, besides tearing off his thumb and part of his fore finger on his left hand. The house of MT. P. c. Storm was nearest the scene of the acci- dent where timely assistance was rendered Doctor Averll was promptly on hand to examine and dress the wounds. The result of the accident it is feared will be an am putation of the greater part of the right hand, including thumb, fore and middle fingers. The thumb on the left hand need ed scarcely more than dressing, having been with the exception of mere thread of flesh, completely shot off. UNo.

A Lunntic on a Locomotive.

Much excitement was caused at tue yarc
 ot the South Carolina railroad yesterday
 morning by the eccentric freaks of de.
 mented boy. It seems that the engine
 Gourdin, which usually carries the Sum
 merville train, was engaged in shifting
 some cars in the lower yard. About half
 past eleven o'clock the engineer and fire
 man left the engine near the corner of
 Mary street, and during their absence a
 white boy named Luke O'Brien, who, since
 an attack of typhoid fever some years ago,
 has never been of sound mind. came up and jumped aboard. O'Brien, who is a son of one of the employees of the road,
 had been in the habit of hanging round the railroad yards long enough to pick up a tolerably accurate idea of the mechanism Of locomotive. Being on the engine and seeing no one near save another boy who was with him, he concluded to take ride, and at once opened the throttle valve to it's greatest extent. His companion jumped oil as the engine started, and in a few mo- ments the Gourdin went rushing up the track at the rate of thirty or forty miles an hour.
 At each crossing O'Bren blew the whis- tie, and people in amazement and wonder gazed upon the flying locomotive. In the upper yard shifting engine was taking in supply of water, and the engineer, seeing the Gourdin approaching at break neck speed, and suspecting that there was some thing wrong, threw open the valve of his engine, taking the precaution at the same time to open the cold water supply pump, and then jumped from her. The shifter immediately started in the same direction up the road, followed closely by the Gour- din, both engines going at lightning speed. A hand-car on the same track, loaded with railroad iron was demolished by the Gour- din, and the collision had the effect of bending the cattle-guard of the locomotive under one of it's front wheels and caused it to act as kind of brake. AS soon as possible another locomotive was procured, and some of the officers of the road started in pursuit of the runaway en- zines. They were overtaken near the four mile curve, both engines having cooled off and being at stand still.
 Upon approaching the Gourdin, O'Bnen was seen oiling the machinery with view probably, of making another start; but, upon observing the approach of the pur suers, made for the woods with the evident intention of escaping. He was pursued, overtaken and brought back to the city. The prompt action of the engineer of the shifting engine in opening the valve of his engine and turning on the water pump was the means of preventing collision which l night have damaged both locomotives se- riously. As it was, the damage was very slight, and both engines were brought back to the city at about 1 o'clock. The engi- neer and fireman of the Gourdin have been suspended until the matter can be fully in | 7estigated. CAGr1eston (S O. NesOs, Aug. I4th.

In Canton village, which has been rather stagnant for some years past. there is de- cided improvement. There are now three stores and two hotels; and some new build ings to be erected next year......The Collins company own valuable. granite quarry near that village, which turns out as good stone as can be found in the state. It is of even texture, free from seams and cuts up finely. George Eggleston is foreman in the quarry, and few days ago with gads and wedges split out a granite block 36 feet long, IA feet wide and z feet thick, making 4e2s cubic feet, and allowing lsO pounds to the foot, would weigh over 254 tons. This is the quarry where parties from Poughkeepsie have been looking, with ref erence to the stone work for the great bridge to be erected at that place. Col llnsville is largely interested in the Conn
 Western railroad, and our citizens hope the managers of that road will recognize our claim to better accommodations than we have yet had. The Collinsvlle station is half a mile from the village-in gravel bank-with the meanest accommodations of any station on the entire route for pas sengers or freight. The only conveyance tor passengers thus far is in open vehicles with no cover from snow, rains or the burning sun. The town of Canton issued bonds to the amount of $40, ,OOo in aid of the road. Collinsville and vicinity pays one-half or more of the town taxes, and our people voted the above aid with the ex- press understanding that branch road should be built to Collinsvills. It is now over 20 months since the road was opened for travel, and Collinsville people complain and not without reason-of the serious inconvenience to which they are subjected, and hope for early relief D.B.H.
