Extraordinary Phenomenon.
Haiistoncs the Size of Oranges.

One OF the most extraordinary phenomena
ever witnessed in this country took place on the
Fourth of July in Bergen county, New Jersey
About a quarter OF p. NJ, in the village of
Westwood during the celebration of the day
sudden darkness came over the village, and, be-
fore the alarmed inhabitants could seek shelter
II violent storm of haistones descended upon the
heads of the crowd. llailstones two inches and
Il half in diameter, and us hard and heavy as
cohble stones, came down in furious shower.
Hens and chickens were killed in large numbers;
cows and horses were stunned. The frightened
o ulace ran in every direction, seeking shelter
n sheds, beneath trees, and in every available
spot. Fortunately the majority escaped without
injury. A young lady named Miss Bogart was,
however, struck on the hand by one Of the hail
stones and her wrist and arm frighttully lacera-
ted. At the Ridgewood House, in the village,
an enormous amount OF damage was done. Not
IL single pane of glass was left whole in the
building, and, incredible as it may appear, the
hailstones actually broke through the slate roof,
as if they had been cannon balls The storm
covered an area of about twenty-five miles,
stretching from Spring Valley TO Kinder kni-
mack. The storm prevailed at its utmost at the
stations of Pascack and Ridgewood, which are
on the iackcnsack branch OF the Erie railroad,
and the depots were completely riddlcd, rs
though battle had been fought in the neighbor-
hood AS late as o clock Sunday morning
hailsones were picked up ut the station the size
Of walnuts Through the section OF the country
where the storm ragged most perfect scene OF
dcSolation can be witnessed. Every tree is
stripped Of its fruit grain fields of rye and corn
laid low, and the hope Of hay this fall is entirely
gone. The sensation created in the Vicinity
was, as might be imagined, tremendous, In one
sewing machine factory, Just above Ridgewood
over 1000 panes Of glass were broken and the
slate roof damaged. The shower continued just
thirty minutes, an | in this short space of time
damage to the amount of many thousands of
dollars was done. The hailstones, on an aver
age, were the size of turkey eggs, and of every
conceivable shape, with sharp corners and edges
that cut like knives. During the continuation
of the shower the thunder and lightning was in
cessant, and with the screaming of men, women
and children, and the shreks of affrighed cattle,
the scene was one truly awlul.- Titanph.
