LYNDON.
A Severe Storm.

This village was visited by shower
of hail last Saturday afternoon which
did a great deal of damage to gardens,
trees, vines and all growing things
People were forwarned by lightning and
thunder that a shower was approach
ing and a little before four O'Clock it be-
gan to sprinkle. Very soon hail began
to fall and for fifteen or twenty minutes
the air was full of hail which fell with
great force and rapidity. After the first
there seemed to be no small hail stones
less than five-eighths of an inch in diam
eter and many measured an inch or over.
Their shape was uniformly that of a
tlattened globe. The day had been very
warm and the ground was so hot that
it soon melted those that fell upon a
level, but where they fell upon hillside
or from a roof to the ground they
heaped up to depth of from one to two
feet according to location. The storm
then changed to rain which fell seeming
" in sheets and washing down the hill
sides filled and overran all ordinary
channels. A large stream flowed down
the hill just above the carriage shop and
crossing the road swept down on the
south side of Mr.. Ryan's building called
the tontine, with such force as to wash
out the road to depth of two or three
feet, while torrent poured down from
the side of Prospect mountain past
Henry Greene's house following the
short cross road and ran down on the
north side of Ryan's house, broke in the
cellar wall on the front side and washed
the foundation entirely out at one cor
ner. Mr.. Ryan purchased this building
a few months ago and has been repair
ing, laying water pipes and improving
generally, and the cause of the washout
seems to be that the water followed the
ditch in which the water pipes were
laid and which was partly covered.
Death of Hollis ingalls,.
Hollis Ingalls, died at his residence a
half mile north of this village Wednes-
dav. June %. He had been feeble and
declining perceptibly for long time but
was only confined in bed three days.
Mr.. Ingalls, was born in Sheffield in Oct.
1909. He married for his first wife
Maria Carter, who died in 1867, and by
whom he had three children, one son,
Joseph, who has cared for him in his last
DAYS, and two daughters, Mrs. Salma
Davis of Sheffield and Mrs. Moses
Brown of East Burke. He married for
his second wife Diana Paine of Lyndon
and moved to the farm upon which he
spent the remainder of his life about 22
years ago. His funeral was attended
