On last Friday our county was visited by
one of the most terrific wind and rain storms
that has been known in this section for many
years and much damage to crops, fencing and
trees resulted from it. The storm came up
! from the north east about O clock P. NJ and
broke over the county in II perfect deluge of
rain with IL hard and heavy wind accompany
ing it. The damage to crops is hard to esi-
mate though it must have been very great.
Much low land tobacco was washed entirely
out Of the ground, and We heard one gentle
man, living below Cox's Station, say that
$500 worth of his crop WAS washed out for him !;
many others in that neighborhood suffered
similar loss. Fencing was blown down, trees
uprooted and much of the growing corn pros
trated and tangled. Our public roads, the
source Of constant " orry and care 10 taxpayers
came in for their share of the damage and the
number Of bridges that were carried away and
washouts that occurred is hard to ascertainl A
bridge near Mr.. B. l.. Higdon'S gate, On the
road from this village to ST. Thomas church,
was entirely carried away and prevented per-
sons living this side of the church from attend
ing divine service there on Sunday. Many
other bridges on the same road were rendered
very weak and dangerous TO travellers. The
bridge at DR.. Robert Dgges's gate, which has
been rtpaired three time within the last two
months, will again require the attention of a
supervisor before it can be safely travelled, and
the road bed of Mount Hill, leading out of the
village, was so bad and deeply washed that
travel over it was attended with the creates,
danger and difficulty. The water came down
this hill with such force that it carried all be-
fore it, AND house in this village at the foot

some colored men, We have had rain almost
every day stree then and there is great danger
that the coz ,inued wet weather may cause much
injsry to the unlhreshed wheat that is still in
the field by causing it to sprout, but We hope
this crop may be spared that injury. The storm
on the river was also very terrific and We learn
tina, much damage done to many small
crafts by blowing them on the shore but so far
no loss Of life has been reported.

Committed to Jail.
Martha Ann Barber, young coored CIR
about l6 or 7years old, was arrested on Mon.
day last charged with killing her infant child
and committed to Jail by the verdict of the
cororner's jury, who investigated the case, to
await the action of the Grand Jury. The
child was found on Saturday in the swamp be-
low Aliens Fresh, where it had probably been
lying for some days as it had been almost en-
tirely eaten up by the buzzards who had
scented it out There was so little of the body
left when found that it was impossible to tell
whether the child had died from VIGILANCE or
not The statement of the girl is that she was
on her way with the child 10 Newport to have
it haptised when it died, and she was so afraid
that it mig hit be thought she had destroyed ii
that she hid the body in the swamp where it
was found Justice Stone summoned the jury
and held the investigation and the result was
the committal of the girl 10 await action.

Amusanenss.
The concert al Chapel Point on last We'd
nesday evening was well attended by the coun-
ty people, and was an excellent ameteur per-
Torrance. 1t was full of fun and mrth provok
ing jokes and the audience was kept in one
continuous round of laughter and good humor
throughout the whole two hours occupied in
rendering the program. Some excel; mt vocal
music mas given and much en- 10, ed, and a
rythem;cal recitation of scenes in the life of
Mary Queen CT Scots, was most feelingly and
pathetically rendered by Miss Sexton, a cele-
bra,ed female elocutionist Of Washington. Al
the conclusion of the concert the pavilion was
cleared for a dance, and soon the merry crowd
was whirling abou. in the May waltz or 60
ing though the more diginfed figures of the
lanciers. The youth of beauty of our county
was out in large numbers, bnt as usual under
similar circumstances, Port Tobacco neighbor-
hood carried off the palm Tor its bewitching and
charming bellies. If certain belle in our
vicinity could ave overheard the compliments
that we heard showered upon her she would
have had that greatest Of human weakness-her
vanity-grat6ed sufficiently to last her life
time.
A party Of three sly ling themselves A lien s
Minstrel Troupe, gave concert at the Court
House on last Tuesday night which was well
attended by our citizens. The program con-
sisted of singing, dancing, negro sayings and
banjo playing, all of which were rendered in a
6rst-class manner by the performers and was
much enjoyed by the audience. Mr.. Allen with
his ban has before given concerts in our viii

Thresh Your wheat Right.

The Richmond Grain and Cotton Exchange
has issued a reques, to the farmers of Virginia
which may be considered with profit by the
farmers of our State. The request is to the
effect that The farmers shall not thresh until
their wheat has had ample time after the recent
heavy rains 10 become thoroughly dry in shock
or stack, TINS ensuring its being sent to market
in dry condition, when it will bring better
price, be more quickly handled, ard give better
satisfaction 10 all interested in its sale or map-
uf.cture, it being a well-ascertained fact that
wheat will dry in the shock more the roughly in
three or FIVE days Of good weather than in as
many weeks after it has been threshed. The
request seems reasonable and opportune.
