.VHiIey News,

Staun!on Indicator: On Saturday after
noon about 2 o'clock, Stanton, with
other portions of Augusta county, was
visited by oneIofthe heaviest hail storms
that has ever traversed this section Of
country. Gentlemen from the county
say it made a strip about mile in
width coming from a northerly direction
and beginning near Mt. Scion. It's
path was from North to South and it
ended little beyond Waynesboro. 1t
was accompanied by heavy fall Of rain
and in the vicinity OF Fishersville som c
fields were flooded that have not been
covered for many years before. The
haisiones were in SIZE anywhere from
a grape to q hulled walnut, though none
so large as the latter fell in the city.
In the cuts Of the Chesapeake 4 Ohio
Railroad between here and WaynesbOro
cart loads OF them could easily be shOv-
eled up. The fruit, as far as we can
learn, was seriausly damaged, but not so
with the wheat, which as general thing
escaped
The hail and rain storm Of last Sat-
urday was accompanied by heavy thun-
der and lightning. The barn Of Samuel
Tisdae near Folly Mills was struck by
lightning and burned. A short distance
of on the farm OF Col. James { COcL-
rap, seven sheep were killed by light
ning. The barn ofDavid GilkesOn near
Parnassus, was struck by lightning bat
the fire was extiDgu shell by Mr.. G's
family.
A very dang, rous couaterfe
on the United States standard silyo.
dollar has made lis appearance recently.
1t is said to be almost matter Of i'm
possibility to detect the bogus dollars by
careful examination. as they have the
ring Of the genuine metal, the milling IS
perfect, and there is an absence Of than
greasy substance which is found by
running the thumb over the general run
of base CONS. The coius, however, are
light aud can be detected by a good
balance. They are also a slight shad e
thicker than the genuine. y large num-

also in circulation.
Shenandoah Valley: W. j. Dingle
dine, son OF Balser DiuglehHe, Esq"
near Mt, jackson, Va. recently secured
a position in the Rockingham Bank,
Harrisonburg, Va. No doubt he will
prove an efficient clerk.
HanisOnburg Commonwealth: Johnny
Logan, son Of j. Y. Logan, Esq, who
has been at school at Ashland, Va,
Randolpn-SIacon College, we are sorry
to learn, has been suffering with his
eyes and physical proslration on ac-
count of laborious study. At latest
advces from him he was improving.
AS soon as he can travel he will proba-
blv return home. Over-study to pass a
high class examination Is the principal
cause of the trouble. ..On Monday
afternoon last q sad accident occurred at
DAYTON. A little son of Isaiah Brown,
ESQ.,, about 10 years Of age, had been
sent to the blacksmith shop 20 ha We
some shoes put on one OF the farm
horses, an animal usually quiet and
gentle. The work was done, and the
little fellow was hoisted upon his horse
to 90 home, and he not proceeded but a
short distance until the horse became
frightened, and, jumping to one side
threw the little boy of, dragging him
perhaps a hundred yards along the
road. The little fellow was carried
home, but died about IL O'Clock the
same evening. His remains were
buried at Bridgewater on Tuesday.
