Crops Injured by Cloud Bursts.

Crops all over the State are said to
have suffered considerably from the
storm of Friday. The rainfall was un-
pfecedented, causing rise In the James
river OF about five and a half feet.
In Botetourt hail fell to a depth of
four inches. Near Winchester the
weather was also unusually severe, a
large flour mill near the town, owned
by Mrs. Hamilton Stuckey, being wash
ed away by the swollen stream.
Front Royal was another place that
suffered severely, the damage being
estimated at $4,000. The entire 10 wer
end of the town was inundated. and
the crops in the vicinity practically
ruined.
In fact, the storm seems to have dis
trlbuted Its attentions inpartially
through the State. In each locality
through which it passed the lightning
display was described as terrific, and
great damage is reported.
