How Long Will Il Last

AhOw AVuB Vshs - A-SSs
A terrific thunder storm passed over our
county on Monday night, areusing eur stad
citizens from their peaceful slumbers and csus-
ing them 10 quake in their beds as peal after
peal Of the terrific clsps were heard. Copsid-
cradle hail accompanied the storm, especially
in the lower section of the county, without
however, doing any damage SO far as We can
learn. The weather since the storm has been
decidedly colder, and those who had already
changed their winter clothing for lighter wear,
found themselves decidedly left. On Tuesday
night many extra blankets were called into re-
quisitron and on Wednesday heavy overcoats
were found uecessar, for comfort. As it isap
preaching close to the lst of June We hope
these uncom Portable aid sudden changes ~ill
soon be at IN end In connection with the sub
ject of the ueaiher it is spropos 10 say that a
weather observer of thi. section has stated that
during the month Of May there were but Eve
days on which the sun shsne the entire day,
and although We did not keep the count oar
selves We are willing to admit the correctness
of the statement.

Death of Mrs. Caiharine Digges.


Mrs. Catharine Digges,a widely known and
and highly esteemed lady, and perhaps the
oldest in the county, died at the residence OF
her son, Dr. Robert Digges, near this town,
about o'clock on Saturday morning last at
the advanced age of "a years. Mrs. Digses
has been feeble and aling for some time past
and her death was momentarily expected, and
it was due entirely to her extreme old age and
the loss Of vitality occasoned thereby Mrs.
Digges was the relct of the late Judge Robert
Digges, who die here m.ny years ago her
maiden name was Neals, and she was niece
of Archbishop Leonard Neale, the second Arch
bishop Of Baltimore. She was connected by
blood or consequently with many Of the old
families of this section of the State, and had
lived to see three generations of her descend
ants grow up around her and take their place
in the world, a longevity seldom equalled at
this day. She leaves two sons, DR.. Robert
Digges of this town, and Francis n. Digges,
at present located in Florida. Her funeral
took place "a Monday morning last and the
internent was at St. Thomass, where she aud
her ancestors had wershipped for many genera
tions in accordance with the faith to which they
have all been consistently and devetedly at
tached. The long cortegy that attended the
remains attest the high esteem and love which
was felt fer this old lady by those among whom
her long life had been spent.
