On Sunday night and A-onaay moInng
las, toe Town was visited by one OF .he most
destructive gales, from The n. L. ever expe.
rienced in this part of The county. The
wind was most violent about three O'clock on
Monday morning, and at day light the streets
and wharyes presented scene which beg

dered almost impassabIe, by trees lying III
every direction. Most of lhe small wooden
buildings in the n. L. part Of ,hc town were
carried away by the violence of the wind and
waves-the TIDE having risen neafIy II fee,
above common high.water mark. The gar
| den fences in many places were removed,a ,and
The standing posts entirely under water. Sew
| eral vessels were on the wharves and IN the
1 streets, Others on marshes, and some in the
woods to the souIh-weN OF the town. On
Monday morning several ware e-houses and
stores were seen floating at the mercy Of the
sngry elemeDts---their valuable contents in
many instances lost. All who bad property

from three TO seven feet above the ground

In the county, as far as we have yei heard

were truly distressing -hlspy farmers have
lost nearly all their fodder. Their crops,
