Big Storm.

The storm of Sunday and Sunday
night was one of the fierciest which
has passed over this section for a
number of years past. There was
an immense rain fall, and all the
streams overlooked their banks, and
in many places did considerable dam
age. The Opequon overlooked in ev-
cry direction. The Potomac was
very high and did considerable dam
age to railroad bridges, delaying all
the trains on Monday for several
hours. The ground is very wet, and
the farmers will be kept back week
or more with seeding in consequence.
The storm seemed to be general and
did considerable damage in Balti-
more, and other places.

Death Of william III. Moue

The announcement of the death Of
William II. Mong, which occurred
at his residence, near this place last
Friday (Sept. 18TH will be received
with profound sorrow and regret by
every citizen of the county. lie was
one OF our best and most substantial
citizens,and occupied during his life
many places of trust aud responsible
ity. He had been quite i'll for over a
week past, and his sickness was of
such q serious character that little
OF no hope was entertained of his re-
covery, and his death was not entire
ly unexpected. In his death the COM
mpnity has lost one of it's best citi-
zens, and his family a kind and low
ing husband and parent.

THE CLOSING EXERCLSES.

Saturday was the closing day of
the Fair, and despite the threatening
weather, which eliminated in driZ-
cling rain in the evening, the attend
ance was very good, and The exer,
cises among the most interesting of
this season. The only disappoint-
ment of day was the failure of the
balloon ascension, which could not
take place owing to late return of
Prof. Shearer from his trip of Friday.
His ascension on Friday was per-
haps the most beautiful aerial flight
that ever took place in this country,
and his journey of an hour in the
clouds was full of interesting Incl
dents. When his bag had been lowed
from the gas works to the grounds
there were many a thousand eye
turned upon the daring man, who
was to Ego alofG" in it. At three
o'clock he gave the VOID to ''let her
CO." and the great bag wiChits living
freight leaped into the air, and in an
Instant shot up to an altitude of
I NO thousand feet. Here it stood
for few moments as if hating as to
it's course, and then it began to move
in asouth-eastelly direction. While
standing over the place, the Profess
sor describes the scene below him as
being the most beautiful heever wit
messed. He says that at an altitude
OF 1900 feet he entered the clouds,
which we've very cold, and his Their
mometer, which stood at 100 when
he left the earth, went down to 500.
The cold air condensed the gas rap
idly, and he had to throw out consid-
cradle ballast, which lightened the
balloon so that he shot up with great
rapidity, and attained the great
height of II, 500 feet, which was with
one exception the highest point he
ever attained. At this point he des-

Picking Up.

Business on the b. 81 O. Railroad
is improving, and we learn that a
number Of men have recently been
put to work in the shops at this
place. Several were put on Mon
day. This is one of the very best in
dications that we have reached hard
pan, and that the business interests
OF the country have begun to i'm
prove, and better times are in the
near future. We hope the indica-
lions may not prove delusive.

Take Stock.

The Agricultural Association had
so much of rain and mud during last
week, that we question very much if
enough money was taken in to defray
current expenses, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the organization, so
far as the Directors is concerned, is
almost entirely in the hands of the
formers, but comparatively few coun-
try people attended. Inview of these
things, it would be very kind if those
who obtained premiums, would, in
stead of demanding the money, take
the amount in stock.

A Siiyery CiOud

There appears to be a different feel
ing in the business community, and
the ''silvery clouu,'' for which we
have been so long and patiently look
ing, is looming up the distant hor-
rizon. If our exchanges can be
depended upon business is
improving and we have seen
the worst of the panic. God grant
that the time has finally come when
business once more will take it's
vaunted channel and give work to
the thousands and thousands of idle
men. Let us take q hopeful and
cheerful view of existing affairs and
Wait little longer to see the dawn
of the business aspects of the coun-
try.

PASTOR.

The storm which swept over the
country on Sunday appears to have
been equally heavy in certain local
tiles. Reports from the South indi-
cate that damage has been very great
while apprehensions are felt that the
storm was not unaccompanied with
disasters on the coast. From the
North there are no details, owing to
the interruption of telegraphic COM
munication by the prostratiou of
the telegraph wires, but it is not I'M
reasonable TO suppose that the dam
age has been very heavy.
