On "Wednesday evening last, a little before sun
down, this neighbouThood visited with the
most frighi!ul hurricane of wind, hail aud rain that
we have had for many years. II commenced near
Gen Patterson's mills, and passed in a south east
course, six plantations, leveling as went,
every fence that stood in its way. A part of the
roof OF one barn is taken off and number of cabin
buildings totally uncovered. Several corn-felds
are stripped of the blades and many OF the stalks
broken down, and i'll places the green timber
Is much torn 10 pieces. But the mos, appalling
occurrence took place at the plantation Of MIR.
Johnson. Being engaged in erecting tread eris,
mill, large open shed had been made TO shelter
the worknien from the sun and rain, and covered
with loose boards, the first gust of wind whirled
the whole covering away, and carried along with
II, MIR. Neal Gum, one of the milwrghts, and
threw him on his head and face, in the bottom of
an empty water course, at the distance of as feet
from where he was taken; the fall and bruise on his
head stunned him so much, that he could not rise

the peing OF the hail until The food produced by the
rain on the high ground come down and aroused

story oil the mill house, frame not weahe rboard-
ed. The same blast blew him and number of
loose boards out of the house; as he passed the
corner post OF the frame, he attempted to support
himself by IT, but not getting good hold was for
ced out, and came 10 the ground On his feet IS
eet from the house. At that instant a second
blast, with increased fury met him. and carried him
across piece of low ground, distance of 100
feet, and set him again on his feet, beside green
tree; around which he threw his arms and support
ed himself until the wind somewhat abaed; he then
let go his hold and in a moment the wind whirled
around and took him back about 20 feet nearly on
line TO The mili-house; and third time dropped
him on his feet, so nearly balanced that h. did mt
