I The subscriber, administrator to the estate of
Elias Bland, late of Woodbridge, deceased, has
minutely enquired into the Rate of the deceafed's
affairs, and do find a large right of proprietorship
and other estates not yet digested, nor cannot be
very soon in the present Rate of affairs, it appears
likely enough to pay his debts. This is not intend
ed nor cannot affect any execution now or prosecu
tion, but to wait that affairs may be fully digested,
and that muff be done before any title of conse
quence can be given lawfully. I also have an ac
count from England that the friends of the deceased
intend to make up any defeat, provided the belt is
made of the estate in America.

SPRINGFIELD, July 2.
We hear from Sheffield, that on Saturday the
22( lult. they had a severe storm of hail and rain,
attended with thunder and lightning, which did
considerable damage to the grain, broke a great
number of windows, &c. The hailftcr.es were, ma
ny of them, as large as a mtifket ball, the light
ning struck a barn and tore it almost to pieces.
The next day they had another severe thunder
storm, when the lightning flruck the house of Mr.
Fairchild's, in such a manner as to defeend
in four directions. No person was hurt, though 2
minder of people were in the house.
We hear from Afhewalet-Equivalent, in Berk
shire county, that on Sunday the 23d ult. about
12 o'clock, a violent hufheane pervaded that place,
tearing up many trees by the roots, twisting off 0-
thers which were three feet over, fix or seven feet
from the ground. It to^k a large new two-story
house 47 feet in length 18 in breadth, the outside
nearly finifhed, and a tan house 42 feet by 22, both
belonging to Major Jeremiah Cady, moved the
house from the foundation, carried the tan-house
about twenty feet, and dallied them both to
pieces.
Extra# of a letter from Claremont, in tie state of
New-Hampfbire, dated June 24.
"Toe amazing horrors of yesterday afternoon,
almost surpass belief, and baffle all my powers of
description. About three o'clock in the afternoon,
the wind about N. W. blew a most terrible hur
ricane : —Many trees were torn up by the roots,
others twilled off and carried by the violence of
the gale to an incredible distance, and whole fields
of grain were swept entirely away.
" it ran in a vein of about half a mile in width,
and produced as great a feene of devaluation and
horror in its course, as perhaps was ever exhibited
in this part of the world. Every house, barn, or
building of any kind which flood in its range, was
rafed to the foundation, or racked and torn in a
terrible manner. Mr. Spencer's house was
blown down, the very fills were torn up and twist
ed like a withe, Mr. Spencer caught his little daugh
ter, a child of ten years of age in his arms, and at
tempted to make his escape with her, when he was
buried in the ruins of his house, together with his
wife, and the child killed in his arms'; Mr. Spencer
and his wife were dug out of the ruins soon after
the storm abated, he escaped himfelf with very?
little hurt, his wife was terribly wounded, but it
is hoped she will recover.
