DANvILLE, Feb. IA thick hail commenced
falling, last evening, which very materially
added to the large bulk of ice already upon
the ground. The storm of the last few days
has done great damage to timber throughout
this section of Illinois and in the adjoin-
ing Indiana counties of Warren and
Vermillion. Nearly all the peach
orchards are totally destroyed the
trees being broken down. Cherry trees are
greatly damaged. Apple trees are consider
ably injured. Some of the older apple
orchards are destroyed the trees being unable
to stand up under the weight of ice resting
upon them.
Many farmers are beginning to fear that
the ice will greatly injure the wheat, espe-
cially in those fields whichwere not protected
by snow when the sleet came. The damage
from floods in this section has been very
light

ROCKVILLE, Feb. THE report that Buck
Stout, the Darlington murderer, recently
convicted here, had weakened and was spend
ing his days in weeping and bemoaning his
fate, is made of whole cloth. He has not
cried a weep. He is the same hardened,
careless, unrepentant, blasphemous cuss that
he was before being convicted. On being

report lie, and said if he had to hang, "You
bet your neck will walk up grinning." He
has hopes of a new trial, and says he believes
If he gets it he will receive a life sentence.
He spends his time in playing cards with the
