The hail stones in some lceallties were
so large as to injure animals ma for a
good part Of its course the window glass

storm in the vicinity Of Hamilton, and
from there it ran nearly paIalell with it,
and just north of it into joliet township.
It crossed the river into lxliittnnn county,
Mimi, and we hear that il No equally
destructive there. 1t isprobable that
this hail storm destroyed ia equal
amount Of growing grain 90 tie previous
one of last week, and between them, the
total destruction will approximate from
10000 to 80, 600 acres in this county, and
aloss Of at least 500. 900 bushels Of wheat
and a proportionate amount 81 oats, bar
ley and other crops. Hamilton seems
to be the storm center Of the county this
year, and it is estimated that Il least one
half Of the farm land whose crops are
usually marketed at Hamilton = hailed
out. A peculiarly Of this hail storm Is
that while travelling easterly, . Il usually
does, 1t took more northeTly direction.
As rule all our great halt storms Of
previous years have made an east south
