TKEvILIAN's, Va, June 8, 1889.
The recent storm was as severe In our
county as elsewhere. Rain fell with scarcely
any intermisson from O'Clock Thursday
afternoon until about O'Clock Friday
night. The rainfall was one OF the hardest
ever known and the duration OF the shower
something unprecedented. The South Anna
river near this place WAS higher than IL has
been since the freshet OF 1886. Then IL was
one or two feet higher. The stream, usually
about twenty-five feet wide. spread out to n
quarter OF a mile IN some places. The new
county bridge erected about twelve months
ago at Bird Mil was swept away for two
spans-though this Is not surprising, as the
structure was very insufficient to meet the
needs Of its position. IL Is feared that the
bridge at RufIner's Is also damaged.
A little negro girl near Bird Mill was
caught out Ia the gust OF wind and rain
Thursday, and becoming terrified ran con-
siderable distance to her home. just as she
entered the door she fell dead. Whether
the oyerexertion resulted fatally or whether
she suffered from heart trouble was not as
csrtained.
Not as much damage has been done to
crops as might be supposed. Highland
crops are scarcely damaged, except where

t,eIooEed handsome.

In Governor Lees mail Yesterday was a
letter from little Miss Alice Hastings, OF 2S4
Marlborough street. Boston.
The hllle lady said she had seen the Gov
ernor in the parade at the New YORK centen-
nisl and he looked so handsome and nice she
wanted bis autograph and picture.
A stamped envelope addressed to the
writer was enclosed.
Mr. {. Mcleod, Governor Lees acting
secretary, replied to the letter and told Miss
Hastings tha! the Governor was In Norfolk,
but would send his autograph, and probably
photograph, too, when he returned.
