TO have seen, says the Rochester Post of Saturday,
occurred this day about III O'Clock A M. The rain
poured down with force and impetuoslty that baf

water dashlng from the heavens 10 the earth. The
imposing tent erected by the Mlertes has suffered
from its effects. The Rev. Mr.. Hines was engaged
IN exhorng less than 800 persons, when the force
of the wind and RAIN broke some of the fasts and a
scene of Undesirable confusion ensued. The ladies'
about 40 IN number, were seated without bonnets
when the ropes gave way, and bonnets, ladies', chill
dren, men, water, mud and wind were mixed up in
most fearful confusion. Luckily, we hear, there
was no serious accident, though some OF the ladies
are seriously bruised.
