has turned over all his real estate and per
sonal property to his bondsmen, and it is
said that they will not come out whole. Our

About O'Clock last Friday evening fu-
rious storm burst upon Atlantic. The Coun-
ell Bluffs Globe says of it: 1.-THE citizens
became alarmed and retired to their cellars
and caves. Hail fell to the depth of several
inches and played sad havoc throughout the
entire place. Trees and crops in the imme-
diate vicinity were badly damaged. After
the storm some of the stones were picked up
and some of them measured eleven inches
circumference. This seems almost improb-
able, yet it is vouched for by citizens and
the press OF that city.
