A SEVERE HAIL STORM passed over Inc
northeastern section of the county on last
Saturday evening. 1t was accompanied
by terrific wind. lightning and hail. and
spread destruction in it's track. The trees
were denuded of leaves. corn-felds on the
farm of the late Robt. S. Harnsberger and
others, were ruined, and in several places
considerable damage was done by the light.

Pilson. near New Hope. was set on ire,
and with difficulty the barn was saved. A
rick of straw was burned forJ II. kemper,
and several trees were struck between Ft.
Defiance and New Hope, and ON Betsy
Bell. A negro man and horse were killed
near Fishersville, and at various other
points the fury of the storm found vent.
A gentleman who was coming from New
Hope to stanton describes the storm as
terrific. When about five miles from town
a densely black cloud burst above him,
pouring forth torrents OF rain and hail,
which the wind dashed about with fearful
velocity. 1t was impossible to drive, the
road being scarcely visible at ones feet.
With difficulty the horses were turned into
a fence corner in as sheltered spot as
could be found, and it required all the
skill and strength that could be commanded
to prevent their running. In an instant
almost the road was one mass of water and
floating ice, the hail having fallen so
rapidly that it covered the ground three
inches deep. Those who were in the storm
say they have had experience enough in
that line to last them their lives.

Fort Defiance. 1t is a charm to the eye.
The grounds are handsomely laid off and or
namented with the blended beauty of flow
ers and evergreens and verdant sward. The
main building is an imposing and taste
full piece of architecture, admirably
planned for the purpose it was erected,
freshly painted and presenting all the at
fractions which should belong to a home
oryouth. A large school building, as an
addition to the main structure, has been
erected, located few yards from the orig
inals building. and when it receives the
finishing touch of the painter, will give
additional attraction to the premises. 1t
| is anhnstitution that deserves encourage
mentsand patronage and we hope will fully
realize it the coming season.

THE LAST WEEK. -BUsY on ExAAII-
NATIONS.


With the close Of this week ends the
summer session of the Staunton Peabody
Normal. In all respects the Institute has
been complete success. The number in
attendance is without precedent, it
having reached up to yesterday to over
800. The instruction has been thorough
and practical, and the sessions throughout
have proven pleasant as well as profitable.
This much we may add: Staunton has had
no visitors With whom she will part more
reluctantly. She has had assemblies OF
various kinds -social, political and rellg-
ious-but we venture to say that the men,
bers of none, take them altogether, have
proven such welcome guests as the teachers
of the Normal. In a gathering SO large,
one would naturally suppose there would
be some loud and disagreeable persons.
Not so with the Normalites. So far as
our observations goes, without exception,
they have borne themselves as true ladies
and gentlemen, and this is the unanimous
verdict of the townspeople. They have
given our people better idea of the value
of the public schools than they have ever
had before, and demonstrated that the
children are taught the valuable lessons OF
life by example. as well as precept. In
their return to their homes, the teachers
will be followed by the best wishes OF their
new made friends of Stanton.
