TERRIFIC HA1L-SToRM.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchl
..-,E t, ""i -.s.:.trs.i july 6, 1877.
On Thursday evening about O'clock a
heavy storm Of wind and rain passed over
this place, accompanied with hail. the like
OF which is not remembered by The oldest
persons. The storm came from the north
east, and for fifteen minutes there was q
perfect deluge Of water, accumulatlng to
such extent as to food the middle of the
streets to the depth OF two or three inches.
In the mean time the hail began to- de-
scend in small stones OF the size OF par
tridge-eggS until the ground was covered:
The clouds then shifted and returned
over the town, from which descended hail
stones in large quantity, some, OF which
were Of enormous size. One picked up bS
a gentleman measured FIVE and bait by
three and a half inches, and one inch in
thickness. Another, OF oval shape, mea-
sured eight inches in circumference. The
storm was confined TO a very smaii area OF
country, extending not over, three miles
from northeast 10 south west, and about one
mile from northwest to southeast. In its
track, however, it "played the wild" with
the gardens, and the young corn, and the
vineyards. In many houses, glass was
broken out skylights OF the photograph
galleries entirely destroyed, and one gen.
tleman reports thirty-ive glass broken from
his residence. A little boy gathered half
bushel OF hail in a few minutes. The dam.
age, as far can learn, consists OF cutting
tie young corn into ribbons, stripping
cabbages Of their leaves, killing some
chickens by drowning and 10y hail:stones,
bursting open the green grapes, and beat
ing apples and peaches off the trees. 1t
is providential that it extend no further.
A bold robbery was ,perpetrated at the
University the other night. DR.. j. E. Chan
cellor had gone to sleep, it, appears, in bis
Office, when some one entered and admins
tered tehloroform to him, and rifed his
pockets of'a gold watch and quite . large
sum Of money. There, is5Do clue to the
perpetfator OF the deed. !" 1877.
Asmay be supp sed, we are not indifer-
ent to the, gaberDatoria) discussion. Not
withstauding the attempt to commit Abe
marie to one or the other Of the candidates,
1t Is clear to my mind that Holiday will re-
celve the populor vote OF the county.
Daniel has many friends who are; yet not
willing TO make him Governor. So with

meeting Mt the Courthouse, and do unhesi-
tatingly say that fNottoWay did not, and

notwithstanding the big attempt to bull

influence was brought to bear on the minds

presenting General Malone as the farmers

missing the State debt and cheap ning the

ing was disorderly in the extreme
cheering for Malone, and yelling by
the s. ring Y whenever an anti-Mahone
speaker attempted to get the floor. Free
rides on the cars we're offered to all who
would GO to the said meeting and work and
vote FOR Malone delegates. Messrs. Edi-
tors, no subterfuge was left untried to pull
the wool over the eyes Of the people. This
is not an exaggerated account OF the meeting
in Nottoway. The bait has not been told.
The Malone brigade fought q harder battle
than at the Crater, vet the, yotecFesuited 81
for Malone and 68 for w. Fl. F. Lee. Every
effort.to make thesyo unanimous for Ma
hone sign&lly failed. So large minority
would not submit, and asked for two out OF
six delegates. This the "ringo would ut
agree to allow. Hence "a meeting has, been
called in. each township for Saturday, d4th
