GREAT STORM IN BOSTON.

A storm of unusual violence swept over Boston and the
greater part of the New England States on September 8. In
Boston it was terribly destructive, and property to the
amount of a million dollars was destroyed. The Coliseum
was unroofed and the sides partially blown down. Church
spires were blown down in many places, and cars were
Clown off the track. The telegraph wires were prostrated
in every direction, and property of all kinds much injured.
The damage done to the shipping was very great, but, for-
tunately, there was only ono fatal accident recorded.

as reported, is, killed, 72 ; missing, 47; wounded, 257. The
Spanish lost in killed and wounded over GOO. Two hun-
