gwen on SdliHday, OF the effects Of the yale
here. Il would be tedious and useless TO I'll
our paper with dela;ls of individual losses.
Suffice II TO say that no former gale was ever so
destructive OF property and LIE. We are yel
unable 10 tOrm more than an approximate esu-
mate OF the galde Of property Destroyed. The
number Of buildings of all kinds utterly destroy
ed can hardly be less than one hundred. Most
OF these are of little value, but some of them
were large and costly structures. The loss in
this species of property, buildings and effects,
will not probably fall short Of $4,000. The
loss IN buildings partially overthrown, removed
from their foundations, unroofed or damaged in
other respects, the number Of which is vastly
greater than those completely destroyed, will
probably amount 10 as much more. The loss by
damage of goods and merchaRdize in warehou-
SEES; the injury sustained by steamboats,, vessels
and canal boats, and the loss of wood. lumber,
slaves, building materials, &c, 1t is utterly i'm
possible to estimate, but it must amount tomuch
more than the aggtegate loss in buildings des-
troyed injured. The total loss of every kind
may be safely put down at S250,000.
The he ght TO which The water arose was al
together unprecedented, Nothing Ike it was
known during The time, a few years ago, When
The ordinary level of the lake was several feet
above what it now is. This may he accounted
for by the fact that for several DAYS previous tt
the gale a pretty stiff easierIy wind had beer
blowing. This had driven the water up the
lake, or, at least, lessened the volume escaping
by the river When the wind shifted TO the
southwest, and blew with such fury, the waite
came down before it as IT a dm had broken a.
way. 1t rose thirteen feet above the level a
which it stood on FIiday evening.
Such other particulars of the effects of thu
ligtle here as are Of general interest VIII b.
found below. twill be seen by our intel II onct
