GREAT HAIL SToRM.-We had on
Tuesday afternoon, the most violent
hail storm perhaps ever occurring in
this County, extending however, and
very fortunately, over but small area,
from near the Hanging Rock, on South
Branch, short distance beyond Spring
field.-Hailstones are said to have fall
len of the size of hens eggs. Our
friend Mr.. Jas. H. Inskeep flourish
ing and enterprising farmer, was the
greater sufferer by this casualty. For
ty-one panes of glass were broken in
the windows of his house, his fruit crop
and IS. acres of thrifty & promising
wheat efectuallY destroyed. Mr.. l
thinks $4O0 would not cover his loss by
this calamity. Mr.. Ephraim Herriott,
Mrs. Washington, and Mr.. Michael
Blue we also hear of as considerable
sufferers.
Gentlemen who came up the road to
Romney, ON that evening, after the
storm, reported hail at some points
where cart loads could be gathered as
large as hulled walnuts. -Romney Int.

EXAMINATIoN.-The examination Of

on last Tuesday, W ednesday and Thurs.

a degree Of thoroughness in their re.

tary to both students and teachers. The
school, each year, has an increased
number of pupils. Mr.. Haislip, who is
now in Maryland, visiting the schools
of Baltimore, will have charge of the
school next year. The policy of EN-
ploying none but good teachers will be
adhered to by the trustees. Woodstock
may well feel proud of the facilities now
afforded for procuring an excellen
English and Classical education at {
moderate cost. 1t is the intention, we
are informed, Of the Principal of the
school to enlarge the facilities nov
offered for Normal Instruction, ant
make the necessary arrangements to
accommodate boarders, at moderate
rates.
