AMERICUs, May 2O.-Last night at
$50 O'Clock sudden shower, accom-
panied by wind and hail came up, but
very little rain fell at this place, it
seeming TO be much heavier north of
us. At Joseph MilIer's residence on
Allen creek the rain was slight while
on the north side of the farm it was
severe and the hail cut everything to
pieces. AT z. w. Cornelius place,
north of town. the rain fell in torrents,
while the hail knocked every glass out
of the north side of his residence,
ruined his garden, knocked limbs off
the fruit trees as large as your finger,
and laid oats flat. The extent of the
storm, however, does not seem TO be
very large. BURLow.
