AS MT.

MT Woolsey has been watching the dog closely to see if he was free from the rabies, which he appears to be. It is said this is not the first time this dog has done the same thing.

Forming in the vicinity of Still River, it moved rapidly to the east, accompanied by high wind and severe hail. The hail was quite narrow strip, but did bad work on tobacco. Many pieces were not for ward enough to be severely damaged. Some early pieces were entirely ruined, which the owners could not afford to lose, as they had depended almost en- tirely upon their crops for income for the year. Crops of all kinds were flat tened by the wind, corn being the worst treated next to tobacco, as so much was broken off. Many piec es of smaller tobacco were as flat as though gone over by roller. The to- bacco barn put up on the farm of w. | W. Foote, built last year, was con- plete wreck. It is said there was l hardly sound stick left in the build-
