Hamburg Correspondence of Augusta News. Storm and Fire on the Ridge. On Saturday night last a heavy thun der storm passed over Ridge Spring. The lightning struck one of the large otk trees in front o? Mr. R. B. Watson's house and shivered it. On Sunday night a small store, owned by Mr. John Nobles and sit uated near the depot, was foupd to be on lire and was rapidly buming when the fire was first discovered. It burned to the ground very quickly, lt was occupied by Mr. Dick Morris as a ??roeery stol e. He had ?.>'30 insurance on his stock. At Red Oak Grove. The protracted meeting at Red Oak Grove last wee-k was richly biepsed. Six teen were added to the Church, and, judging from the manifestations at the very close, many more would have joined could the meeting have been continued Of the said sixteen, eleven have already beeu baptized. ' Mr. Bussey was ably as sisted iu this meeting by the Rev. Mr. Fant and the Rev. Mr. Hundley, who preached with great zeal and power, and gained the love of all the Grove section. Sunday School Concert at (?assaway. The Sunday School and friends of Gas saway met on Friday afternoon, July 28, to hold a Concert. While the audience was not very large, the interest was very great. The exercises were preside-' ,ver by the pastor, the Rev. J. B. 'r .iywick! ind many intcreBtin- ' s and essays were listened to. The school was so plea?ed that they decided to hold another Concert at an early day. Suicide. Mr. James Stocker, late of Charleston, committed suicide at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Charlotte O'Neal, near Den ny's X Roads, July 20th. He had been laboring under mental derangement for two or three weeks, bot was considered as j harmless. The night before the fatal day, he, with his sister, spent the night with Rev. Milton Norris, near Balesburg; and on the following morning he attempted to drown himself in a fish pond, but failed. His sister then took him to ber residence, anti that day, about 4 p. m., he hung him self with a rope in the barn. The place selected, the length of rope, and the hang man's knot he tied, all indicated calcula tion and ingenuity, May sister and mother have the sustaining grare i whose Providence is as wise and i j it is mysterious. !

It is nine o'clock ai night, and tho lan if Red Hill ia hushed and still. Tl: noon rides high in the summer sky, an lier light falls in ghastly whiteness upc tiill and vale. Not even tho bark of watch-dog breaks the dead stillness of th scene. And the wife and children i James A.

Hark to the harsh rn and rumble of countless chariots and td clatter of many horses1 Nearer an nearer they come; and the inmates of tba silent cottage think of tornados, an earthquakes, and the Day of Judgmen Rut the dread reality is worse than any < these ! It is seven men, five vehicles, an six horses. They come from the Lanhai picnic, 14 miles away, and are led by ,1a A. Lanier in person.

And now the giganti figure arises and comes forward, and w expect to be smitten as Samson .?mot the Philistines. But not so. It is no Goliath nor Samson, lt is only nipa); and kind-hearted Captain Cal. Kin'.rd, c Ninety-Six. And, he rushes out am shakes Capt.

Hello, Mr. Zimmer man ! Hello, Mr. Bacon ! Gentlemen one and all, delighted to see you. Com? in! Come in! Giveyou some supper as sooi as Mrs. Kinard can have it prepared.' And Captain Lanier laughs until you cai hear him to Parksville; and Cuptam Cal laughs; and the other live candidate j laugh; and the one gentleman shrieks And we go in, and wo unlimber our dus leis, and wa bump, and thump, and wash and smoke; and the candidates tell jokes and worry each other not a little.

And then wc look at all Ihesi wayfaring men, and we look al, Capta il Cal., who will require two beds; and al though the bouse is 7ery capacious an? very comfortable, we begin lo fear thai tho one solitary private individual wil find no place to lay bis bones.
