The Storm of Friday Afternoon.

About the middle of the afternoon last Fri
day this city was visited by severe thunder
storm accompanied by a heavy rain. For
some time the flashes of lightning and the
detonations of thunder were very frequent.
During this storm, the lightning struck the
roof of the Lutheran church in this city and
knocked in hole in it, but did no other dam
age. The railroads suffered some damage by
the high waters. At Millbrook miles north
of Staunton about 300 feet of the track of the
B. & O. railroad was undermined, and the
train could not pass and the passengers were
brought to the city in vehicles.
The C. & O. railroad suffered some damage
near Brands Station miles east of Staunton
The rain seems to have been heavier in some
other portions of the county than here. This
seems to have been the case in the neighbor
hood of Mt. Scion.
In speaking of it, correspondent of the
Post says
ut did not last over As minutes, but such q
| flood never was seen here before. 1t swept
everything before it. To give some idea of it
a large house came floating down the meadow
branch and the roof was still intact. 1t came
| from the old Showalter place about mile
above here. Thousands of rails and log
| floated by in large RATS. The fencing in the
valleys all swept away.
The water backed up to the dam at Mount
Scion and not sign of the bridge down a
| the old paper-mill could be seen.
Mrs. Felix Sheets had her arm broken in
| trying to save some of her belongings. He
corn crib, wagon shed and other building
| were carried away. 1t is thought that no
less than six of her hogs were drowned"

We are much gratified to learn that oul
young and talented friend, Lawrence Peyton
son of our distinguished townsman, Col J. L.
Peyton, has been appointed assistant profes-
scr of mathematics in the Virginia Military

tain Peyton having graduated at the V. NJ. l.,
taking the End Jackson-Hope medal and the
degree of G. E. He was reported to the Gov
ernor every year of his four years course for
distinguished scholarship; was LIST Lieutenant
of Company D, and was fine officer and dis
ciplinarian, and noted for his own exemplary
conduct and high character.
To rise in the morning with a bad taste in
the mouth and no appetite indicates that
the stomach needs strengthening For this
purpose, there is nothing better than an oc-
casional dose of Ayers Pills taken at bed
time
