the other bones had evidently gone to

What is necessary TO build up our waste
places is that every community in the
| Commonwealth should foster manuiact-
urinc enterprises The conversion of raw
material into products of value must en-
nance values and promote prosperity.
We hear it is likely there will soon be
established at the same point by Northern
capital factory for the manufacture OF
shafts, dngletrces, handles, spokes, &c.'
which will probably employ from 40 to ~
hands 80. Yesterday afternoon 18th inst
at 3 o'clock, burst upon this city the most
terrific hail and thunder storm that our
oldest citizens can remember. The storm
came up 30 suddenly and with such vio-
lenco that few knew from what quarter IL
had come. In ten minutes II had spent
it's fury, and people rushed of to see what
damage had been done. Many panes OF
glass were broken by the hail, and one
establishment, particularly exposed, had
nearly every glass broken. Many Of the
stones were as large as partridge eggs, and
IN places covered the ground.
The damage TO the city was not what II
would have been. had the rain been during
the night. The lower portion Of the city
was submerged and for hours curious
crowd Of boys watched the different crews
of men at work moving machinery, lnm-
I her. live stock, and whatever seemed IN
danger. A shed owned by Mr. ). A.
Wise, protruding over Lewis creek wa'
o swept away. carrying down with 1t about
$500 worth Of machinery. Numerous
o other minor losses are reported, but as u
their exact extent we are not informed
