The dwelling-house of Mr. John D. George. Mayor
of Griffin, was burned recently, in Fayette county.
The .sun says it was occupied by his overseer, and
everything was a total loss. The dwelling was one
of the most elegaut in this section of the country,
and the loss is about $6,000, which falls mostly on
Mr. George. The origin is unknown, but there are
some suspicious circumstances which may result
in ferreting out the cause.
Colonel H. H. Jones, writing from Cuthbert to the
Macon Telegraph, says: “On the afternoon of the
6th instant this city was visited by a terrific tall of
rain and hair, accompanied by wind equal in vio
lence to a cyclone. Its track lay about four miles
north of Cuthbert. and was from one to two miles
in width, tending in a northeasterly direct ion. The
writer could hear it roaring in the distance like
pent-up thunder, while a lurid, inky cloud envel
oped the northern horizon. Several hours after
wards, startling reports from the storm began to
come in. The hail had been unprecedented. Among
the sufferers Rev. J. E. Godfrey had his gin-house,
cabins, barns, fences and every building on the
plantation, save the dwelling, utterly demolished,
with an almost total destruction of his crop. Mr.
C. C. Adams fared nearly as bad lj% He had an ex
cellent crop of wheat all headed out, literally torn
to atoms and prematurely mown. Nearly every
pane of window glass in his house was smashed,
the corn cut into tatters, cotton literally extermi
nated and fruit trees stripped of their burden. The
hail was as large as the egg of a guinea fowl, and
covered the ground six inches deep on a level, with
drifts in gullies and the corners of fences two feet
in depth. The next morning that gentleman
brought into town and exhibited large boughs of
peach trees not only denuded or fruit and foliage,
but literally peeled, as though the bark had been
removed with a knife. He had with him also a
bucket of hail, gathered since the rain, and after a
whole night had intervened, which were still as
large as jiartridge eggs. Weeds, cabbages and vege
tables of every description were completely riddled,
and.his cotton was non inventus. VV e have secured
a peach live limb, and some other storm relics,
and will bring them home this evening to con
vince the doubting Thomases of your city. The
worthy sheriff of the county, Mr. Lovett Smith,
told tne writer that all of his grown poultry had
been killed by the bail, and not one in a hundred of
the heads of wheat in his crop was left standing.
Both corn and cotton were ruined; his windows
broken and the shingles on the roof of his dwelling
so split up and damaged by the liail-stones that
the interior was Hooded with water. When he
reached home that night from court, he found Mrs.
8niith attempting to dry before a blazing fire suffi
cient bedding for the use of the family. The crop
of Mr, A. J. Moye was aiso destroyed, and at noon
the next day thousands of bushels of hail-stones
might have been gathered on his premises. Such
is a brief description of this terrible providential
visitation. Had it been general all over the State,
the whole land would be clothed in mourning/’
