A Disastrous Storm.

Correspondents of the st. Adams MeSSen-
ger give the following interesting accounts
of the destructive hail. wind and rain storm
which occurred Sunday afternoon, July Is,
in the towns of Milton and Georgia. "The
storm was peculiar and erratic in its course.
1t seemed to select objects here and there
for its vengeance. In the eastern and
southern portions it was simply very
heavy rain storm, accompanied with wind.
But on the lake shore it was little less than
cyclone. On the old Carr farm it tore up
large old elm-tree and large mass of
earth several rods square. 1t destroyed al.
most utterly all the growing crops on the
farms of u. ID. Everett, A. Martin, II. A.
Phelps, G.. Sharon, G.. Wood, &. Blake, H.
L.. Wood, c. Rich, Captain Fay and others
Large numbers of fruit-trees were blown
down and much damage done to the fruit
in general. In many houses windows were
broken. Adds Martin had ninety-one lights
of glass broken by the hail. j. w. Flinn's
new house was struck by lightning. The
bolt passed through the slate roof, striking
the floor about three feet from where Mr..
Finn stood, then passing out and along the
whole length of the ell. Mr.. Finn was
knocked down, but not seriously injured.
IL. a. Phelps, when out repairing a fence
next morning, picked up and brought to his
house piece of hail ice as large as mans
head. Parties coming from Camp Rich
after the storm report riding through hail
drifts one foot and half deep. Many
turkeys and chickens were killed. Number
less birds are to be seen dead along the roads
and in the fields. The whole region on the
lake shore and for some ways inland is a
picture of havoc and desolation. 1t ap-
parently has ruined the labor of all the past
months. George Ashley and a party of
three men were out on the lake fishing.
They report the darkness so dense that they
could not see land. They had narrow
escape, finally drifting to Fish-bladder

Obituary..

KENT.-Drowned in Middlesex, July 3,
Henry c., second son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
T. Kent, aged sixteen years and six months.
This death came so unexpectedly that it
fell like panic-stroke upon the entire
community, and especially upon the family
and relatives. The large place he had won
in the hearts of the people among whom he
had lived was evinced by the large congre-
CATION that gathered at his funeral. And
while we looked at the lifeless, yet peace
izing that the family circle is now broken
by death, we could but rejoice amid our
grief and tears in the fact that our heavy
loss was his infinite, his glorious gain. May
the consultations OF Gods grace be found
precious while they mourn, not without
hope, and by-and-by all enter into the
same heavenly life with Christ.

AS c. f. Peters of Williamstown was
driving around the corner of Eastern

day evening, his horse became frightened
and unmanageable. Peters was soon thrown
out and the horse ran up State street and
into the yard of Orange Fifield, where he
struck large tree with great force and re-
ceived injuries which made it necessary to
kill him. Peters, who was unconscious
when picked up, was about Friday mourn

ished, ana OF the horse, which was fine
one, valued at $500.

II MINERA EXHIBITION D
The confidence with which the citizens of
this youthful city look toward its prosperity
is evidenced by the public buildings, among
which is "a building where the mineral prod
ucts of the region may be exhibited, studied
and discussed. A recent correspondent says
of the city: One hundred and seventy-ive
thousand dollars per month is paid to labor
by i~nfantile industries only; stoves, piping,
steam engines, foundry outt.%~S., siaac plants,
etc, are shipped hence 1000 miles; chain fac
tories and iron bridge factories, flour mills,
furniture factories, cotton press factories and
cotton gin factories are springing VI. From
the peaks overhanging this valley the philo-
sophie inquirer may observe hurrying throngs
of workingmeh grading and paving wide
streets constantly encroaching on the sur
rounding farms; and along their lines me
chanics build, one after another, great temples
Of trade, halls of education, church spires
which kiss the clouds, beautiful homes, and
ever leave the end of one day overhang with
unfinished work for the next. Over S ,000,-
900 are invested in the great industries of the
place, and no less than twenty-one iron fur
naces are now either in active operation or
about to begin work.

miles from the city of jamestown, in the

life, which recently closed, was spent on the
same farm.

humanity, withal Il very good, patriotic
and devout man. During the war the
composition of war ditties lured more
than did the pursuits of aoricu1t-
