Wind and Hail. From passengers who arlvcd here i ths morning on the Carolina Central train we learn that a severe storm of ram, wind and bail passed Over a sec. tion of the country beyond IWadesboro on Tuesday night, inflicting serious damage in many places to crops and trees. At Newton'it assumed the force of a cyclone and blew down 23 or 30 houses. At Conover, a station on the Western North Carolina Railroad, hail covered the ground to the depth of three or four inches some ol the stones being as big as hen eggs. No one was killed at Newton, but several negroes were hurt, andoce old woman will die.

Tho test of the fire-proof qualities of Mr. Mott's roofing paint was made on Courthouse avenue last evening, In the presence of ai largo num. ber of 'spectators, and the ordeal satisfactorily established all that was claimed for the paint; A small house made of dry plno covered with a thin coat of painty was placed under a pile of shavings upon which six gallons of kero sene oil was poured and Ignited. ) The! flames leaped high Into the a?r and burned! furiously for (forty minutes. Finally tho houso was raked from tho debris and drenched with.' kerosene oil, which burned off clean, leaving the'wood unscorchedj as any ono may fee who has the curiosity to call at tho Walthall hotel, where It is on exhibition to-day. Tho object of the test, which on account of the caution of the authorities was not as severe as usual wast not to prove the Impossibility of destroy Ing the box by fire, but to show that the paint Us an effective protection agidnat tho ordinary accidents which causes ilrci This was raado so plain to our mind that if ftts bccnWctcr minjed to treat the roof of the Ixiex-Aiteal'i building to a coat of it as oon ai theihoufo Is remodeled. I Another,' and in our bpinion, more valuable quality of tho paint 1.4 its ha ptrviousness to water, inakbag it a euro rcmo dy for leaks in old shingled aud tinned roofs. As a test of this, two paper boxes wero palted i on the inside and kerosene oil poured Into ono and water into the other without the slightest effect upori tho paper. Tho boxes with their contents can aUo be seen at the Walthall kotlj to-day.! Persons who may havo leaky roofs. or who may wish to guard against, fire should give Mr. Mott a call and learn front him about the matter.
