An exceedingly heavy hail storm visited
a part Of our county on FridOy, of last
week. The hail in this place was light,
only comparatively few stones falling,
hut most of them were unusually large,
some haveing been picked up that weigh
ed between two and three ounces. In
other sections, such as along the river
at oints east of here, and IN Powel's
Fort, the storm was very severe, large
amount of hail falling, much of it of large
size, doing considerable damage to fruit,
manv bushels of apples having been
knocked from the trees, and the grapes
that were still on the vines were very
badly damaged.
A considerable number of the Knis bts
of Ply thias, of this place, went to New
Hope. few miles North of here, on Tues
day morning to take part in the laying
of the corner stone OF the Methodist
church, South. at that point. The crowd
that assembled was not as large as had
been expected, but all evinced deep In
terest in the proceedings. The address
by Rev. DR.. J. p Hyde, of Winchester
was very interesting, after whioh the
cerner stone was laid by the Knights

one, and was presented by Mr.. Snyder
