The heavy storm that started up last
Saturday evening about seven O'Clock
was one of the worst kind of storms,
and it felt like q young tornado, the
way houses were shakeing. 1t was ac-
companied by lightning, rain, hail and
wind, the hail being as large as part
ridge eggs The wind aud rain lasted
until nearly morning, and we learn
that some of our citizens did not re-
tire until they were certain that 1t was
over. We have heard of no damage
being done except fences and trees
that were blown down.
