PETERsBuRG, December ts.-The fierc.
est wind storm which has passed over

to day In sll the counties near this

ton Was not restored entirely until this
evening. Indeed At this writing
the lines are still down on the
Norfolk and Western Railroad,
somewhere in the vicinity OF

this evening it is evident that the storm
was most destructive in Greensyille
county and along the edge of Sussex

Hicksford, the county seat OF Greensylle.
arrived in the city this afternoon for the
purpose Of employing carpenters to re-
pair his large store, which suffered most
severely. tie says that the wind blew
with terrible velocity, and that the rain
fall was tremendous This store
was rooted with tin, but the wind
curled It up as though IL had been some
ligh, and pliable substance. His stock
was injured by the rain. The fine drug
store of Or Mason, which is also in the
village, was unroofed as well, and so also
was the general merchandise store Of
Messrs. Palmer 4 Palmer. Trees were
uprooted and blown down, and the county
roads obstructed. Fortunately there
was not much OF the present crop that
had not been gathered aud put into the
barns Ii is thought, however, that con-
siderable damage was done 10 the peanut
shocks which had been left standing In
