The recent hail-storm proved very
destructive to the fruit in this, and sew
eral of the adjacent counties. It was
the most terrific hail-storm ever known
in this section. Accounts reach us
from different localities which seem al
most incredible as to the violence of the
storm and size of the hail, but all of
them have been substantiated. The
hail in some places was foot deep,
and hundreds of barrels of it could have
been gathered up. From our exchanges.
we gather that the storm king was
prolific of much damage in various other

Mr.. John H. Rutherford, living near
Stephenson's, neglected in the evening
to lock his barn. During the night his
son, returning home, went to the barn

as to his business there he was very
saucy. Mr.. Rutherford, however. con-
Guided to allow him to remain. and in
the morning upon examination found 3

The committees appointed to receive

The committees appointed to receive
and accommodate visitors did their duty
well and are entitled to the thanks of
those who were the recipients of their
courtesy and hospitality. A number
OF carriages, hacks and spring wagons
were provided for the accommodation of
visitors. When everything passed off
so pleasantly, we regret the necessity
Of referring to one feature, which to
some extent marred the success of the
celebration; and in so doing we do not
wish to find fault with the committees
nor with the citizens of New Market,
and in justice to them take pleasure in
stating that they did everything in their
power to prevent the eXorbitant charges
which were imposed upon the people
by owners of hacks, and other convey
ances. Some Of them after people
were deceived into their conveyances,
compelled them to pay more to get
from the station to town than the rail-
road charged from Harrisonburg and
Woodstock. While this plan was pur-
sued by some, others carried passengers
throughout the day. at a reasonable
price.
The large crowd, we have every rea-
son to be believe, returned to their
homes pleased by the cordial reception
extended by the people of New Market,
no less than by the interesting exer-
cises Of the day. \ number Of dis
visitors. whom we cannot now
enumeTate, were present.

Two PLUCKY GIRLs.-On Monday
oflast week, a wild cat in search Of
food for her young, visited the residence
Of Mr.. VIM. Hurt who lives on the
Blue Ridge in Madison county, near the
Page line, and captured chicken
The family hearing the noise produced
by the chicken and looking out saw a
full grown wild cat which was making
off with its booty. Two of the girls,
providing themselves with sticks and
accompanied by small dog, gave chase,
and soon overlook the cat, which jump
ing over large log took its position
on the opposite side, and as one of the
girls placed her hand ON the log for the
purpose Of springlng over, struck at her
with it's paw inflicting slight wound on
one of her fingers. The fight now began
in earnest, but was short and decisive.
In few moments our heorines return

Sassafras Oil Factory on the Blue
Ridge, about seven miles Southeast of
Front Royal, which is turning out some
30 pounds per day. The capacity of
the factory is soon to be increased, so
as to yield Quadruple the above quanti-
ty. IF factories of this kind pay where
the sassafras roots are bought at q
distance and reach them by rail and

profitable when erected where the sassa-
fras surrounds them on every side :
Success to this and every other business
enterprise calculated to develop and

sources.

LOCAL OPTIoN.-On an appeal Of
N. Geary. from the decision Of the
county court, Judge Bird, ofthe Circuit
Court decided that the Mofiett liquor
law repeats tie clauses in the town
charters which provide that county
courts shall not grant licenses to sell
liquors until the consent of the Town
Council be first obtained. Mt. jackson
has for the last year tried the expert
ment ofprohibiting the sale of liquors.
Woodstock had determined upon the
same policy, but the Modett liquor
bill as above decided repeats the local
option clause in charter Of the town.
In few weeks, we may expect to be
entertained by the music Of the Moffett
Register.
