destructive Storm In Madison County.

Destructive Storm In Madison County.
The recent terrible storm at Criglers-
vile, aud vicinity, in Madison county,
was by long odds the worst that ever
happened in this State. 1t covered about
six miles along the Robinson river, the
best section of the county. The follow
ing from a correspondent of the Alexan-
dris Gazette gives sad picture Of the
terrible destruction that has overtaken
the people Of that section of Virginia
"The destruction of all kinds of prop
erty is absolutely appalling. The water
that fell is described as something never
before seen In Virginia. Some speak of
it as cloud burst, whilst others simply
say 1t fell in buckets fall, and others that
1t was a water-spout. There are in the
neighborhoOd of Criglersvllle not less
than 80 houses that have been washed
away some completely destroyed and
broken IN pieces, while others stand I'M
broken and complete where left by the
flood To give some idea of the amount
of water that fell inside of two hours
house on Haywood fifty feet above the
bed OF the rive was carried of. The pike
across the mountain is absolutely gone,
washed ten feet, below the surface for
many yards. whilst at another point the
drift is piled high right in the road. There
are two churches now anchored in field
several miles from where they were wash
ed, while in the bottoms along the river
may be seen houses, unbroken, with their
chimneys intact. Just as lifted from their
foundations and left ready for occupancy.
There is not fence for miles, while on
tho bottoms where the eddies were
created, IS the debris, the fotsam and
ietsam Of this most remarkable and de-
structive flood. 1t IS strange there were
but three deaths the children OF Mr..
Lamb who lived to the right OF Criglers-
Vile. Many houses that withstOod the
force of the water were swept OF the
furniture in them. There are no roads
left in the scope of the storm including a
length of six miles and varying In
breadth from a-half to a mile broad. The
fine bottom lands on the river are either
deeply marked or covered with sand and
debris, utterly ruined ia either case.
There is not a stalk of corn or anything
else that grows. left, and the picture Is
one of complete destruction. At points
the bed of the nver is changed, and |
houses that once stood away from IT now
stand between the real bed and the new
channel. Of coulse there will be much
suffering as many haye lost their homes
aud everything in them. Whole farms
are ruined forever by sand many feet
deep. No less than five mills are gone.
The loss is great aud can hardly be fixed,
some putting it at half a million. Such a
change in the appearance of neighbor-
hood can hardly be imagined, and the !
people are at a loss to know where or
how to begin to put things to rights b.
At the time of the above, Rappahannock
county was also visited by destructive
rains, the streams being higher By several
feet than ever before, aud bridges, fenc-
ing, buildings aud crops were swept
away.
