the best wishes of all their friends in Elkton.
The storm on last Wednesday week was
very severe in the northwestern part of the
Third and the southeastern part of the Ninth
districts. Large quantities of hail and rain
fell in those sections, and many of the corn
fields were washed SO badly that they had to
be replanted. The wheat was also badly
injured by the hail. At Carpenters Point
the hail fell in great quantities, and entirely
destroyed the wheat crop on the Simcoe
farm, so that Mr.. Kirby, the tenant, is
planting one of his wheat fields i'll corn.
The hail also broke much III the glass on the
north side of his house, and injured his corn
so much that il had to be entirely replanted.
The storm was equally severe on the farms
of Washington Barnes and Mr.. Jackson.

hail storm, but fortunately the crops in this
community escaped all harm, with Il fair
prospect of Il bounteouS harvest.
