A severe storm accompanied by rain, in
terminsled with small hail. occurred here on
Wednesday evening. Shocks of grain yet
standing in the fields were scattered, growing
corn was hattened dowu, trees were broken
off, and some torn up by the roots. The root
which covered the platform at the railroad
| station here was blown off.
| In consequence of the delay occasioned by
| frequent rains farmers here have been sub
jected to quite tedious operation IN securing
in good condition the abundant crops of hay
and grain with which they are surrounded.
On the 4th inst, John I. Messler, who died
on Friday, the I'd inst, near this place, was

trict this county, was laid to rest in the burial
ground of the Church of God, at Uniontown.

Lookingbeel and Stoner. His age was rs
years. I months and 10 days.
From the above will be seen that death S
relentless power, amid the busy season of the
wear. has caused sorrow and sadness to pre-.
vail amid family circles. The severing Of
kindred ties and affection, the breaking up OF
social and friendly intercourse has prompted.
the sympathetic sigh to rise in the breast OF
many while realizing the loss sustained.
Mr.. Evan Haines and wife started on
trip to Europe on Thursday morning last.
They expect to return in about SIX weeks.

Hanover Defeats Westminster Mechanicstown
VS.. Westminster To-day.
The Hanover base ball club played with the
Brooks team on the grounds of the latter, in
very interesting one, and was principally a
contest between the batteries. Both clubs
made errors in the first part of the game,
but the It'll, Sth and 9th innings were as pretty
an exhibition of ball playing as ever witness
ed on the grounds. But one hit was made dur
ing these innings, and that mere scratch,
to second base Gist, the Westminster pitch
er, is doing excellent work in the box, and is
surprising everybody by his skill. He struck
out nine of the Hanovers and held them down
to seven hits, one of which was scratch.
The Brooks team made but five hits off the
Hanover pitcher, but two of them were for
two bases each. Hanover made five errors;
Brooks team seven. Following is the score
by innings:
