FROM Observation-Disclosures HuRRIcASE-
By the arrival OF the whalehip Mary Ann, Capt Bon
new OF Furhaven at this port last evening, we have re-
ccived from Rev Mr.. Buzacott OF the Missionary sta
ton at Raroonga the following account OF a devastat
ing hurricane by which that place has been visited
ON the 10th of March, 1876, the Island OF Rarotonga
situated in f. lon lGO = lat 81 IL, visited by the
most dreadful hurricane known there The sea
had been rough with heavy squalls the lJton the
10th the wind high, and the mercury sinking fast
from 10 p NJ to 3 ?. NJ. the l7th il blew perfect
hurrcne-thc rain poured in torrents and the sea over
flowed its banks and went long in over the North
and East settlements carrying destruction in liz progress
The rain pourcd-the torrents descended IRON the
mountains and with nearly deugcd the above two
stations Mr. Buzacot;s new house IS the only MISSION
house hut remains standing. Mr. and Mrs Pitman, with
their dragged through the sea sometimes up
10 their necks place OF safety, where they had 10 re-
main exposed TO the storm from y night ull daylight
The next morning The houses OF te natives ALL with
very few exceptions, in ruins. Two handsome stone
clapels and schoolhousc. NIL lately erected
were, DESTROYED Upward OF 22O dwelling houses. IL
OF which were framed stone built and pastcrcd wi
lime on one station alone" Avana are destroyed
Thousands oil cocoanut. brcadrut and other trees
ripped mp by the roots while those standing are most OF
them hcadcs7 lcaticss, and branches
The work OF civilization which had been gradually
advancing for the last 20 years, has received such
check that of prosperity would scarcely re-
store the island TO what II was before the storm NO
lives lost but severe famine Is in prospect nav
ins lost Nil their food. lNcw-Bedord Mercury Ju!y3
