On saturday, May 22nd fearful hail
storm, with hail and rain, struck Stoney
Ridge, between II and l O'Clock in the
evening. 1t is reported to be the most
frightfu and disastrous hail-storm that has
ever been chronicled in this section. At
IL o'clock. a. m, very dark, roaring cloud
rose in the West, and an hour later one
from the Southeast appeared which seemed
to make conjunction directly over this point,
and soon the stones began to pour down in
torrents The mighty roaring Of the thun-
der could scarcely be heard for the noise of
falling hail, which fell very fast for about
twenty minutes; soms of the stones were
large as guinea eggs, and fell to supposed
depth of four inches. The storm has almost
ruined gardens hereabouts, also wheat and
rye fields are in bad shape, some Of them
10 badly torn down that the straw would
burn. M lives lost, but Mr.. Hall, who is
employed in McGlamery's lanyard vas
made to pray pretty hard.

Farmers Clubs for the Young.

Daniel Dwight, in Southbridge Journal.
Too much cannot be said or done
to aid or encourage farmers clubs.
They should be a reunion of farmers
and their families; free, social COM
parison of successes and failures, from
which new hints may be gained, an
occasion from which every man may
return with the feeling that he has
improved his mind and helped his
neighbor.
Gov. Robinson says: "The secret
of power lies in combination; COM
bined sentiment that shall grow out
of the intelligence and culture of such
a union, cannot fail"
Young farmers need the club and
grange more than do their fathers.
Talking in public, in the farmers
club or grange, or in the farmers
convention, is very beneficial train
ing. Young farmers and young men,
expecting to become farmers, can dc
much in the way Of getting a good
agricultural education without going
to the Agricultural College, if they
choose, Jet privileges of the college
and witnessing the experiments are
far better than the home farm
Farms are schools-they are next tt
the college.
The present tendency is in the
direction of farmers clubs, or gather
ings, institutes, oranges, etc. AT frs
we had only one or more in each
county, and these societies are yearly
multiplying. To complete the system
we want the small societies formed il

tude, which it is unnecessary to assure them
is fully accorded. Feeling that the time has
arrived when the public demands require
the issuance of a larger paper, the UNION
has decided to increase TO eight pages, the
first issue making its appearance Jan. /, 1886.
1t has been induced to take this step on ac-
count of the limited space left by generous
advertising public for the publication of the
news. Its news.gathering facilities have
been enlarged and extended, and in quality
and quantity its original articles will be i'm.
proved. No portion of the every.widening
field of news will be neglected. The politi.
cal intelligence from Washington as well as
the social gossip at the capital will be full
and complete. A thorough system OF state
correspondence has been organized, reaching
out into every nook and corner for the latest
and freshest current events.
The local force has been enlarged, and in
this department it will be the aim of THE
UNION to chronicle all the events OF the
day in Nashville in an entertaining man
ner. Indeed, the effort will be to make il
the best local paper ever published in the
city.
The financial and commercial columns Of
THE UNION will be kept up to the high
standard that bankers and merchants
throughout its territory have conceded t.
them. Unbiased reports will be given il
this important department of the paper at al
times.
Politically, THE UNION viii undergo n,

port Mr.. Cleveand's administration so lonl
as it continues to administer the government
on true Democratic principles. Its utter
ances at all times will be, as heretofore, in
