PLEASANT VALLEY. August II.

MORE OF THE GALE.-A violent hurri cane passed over this and many of the adjoining places, on Saturday. Aug. 9th. It exceeded in fury any thing of the kind ever before witnessed here. Houses were unroofed and blown down, trees torn up by the roots, and fences leyeled and af- ter the storm went by, a scene of deso- lation an 1 waste presented itself One gentleman, on farm of about one hun dred acres, had hardly a rod of fence left standing. Another, who had just got his house up and covered, had it blown down-the timbers smashed to pieces and blo wn about the fields. A neighbor of his had the south roof of his house. large two story building blown of, his chimneys blown down, latches torn fom the doors, &c. In New Hartford, it did considerable damage in the line of blowing down trees, &c. In Winsted, the destruction of property was general. Mr. James Alvord, who had beautiful house in process of erection had it blown down and smashed to pieces. The cab inc: shop of Mir. Wiers was blown from it's foundation the barn attached to the hotel of Mr. Stephens in East Winsted, was started from its foundation, and a shed attached had its roof torn off, which in falling, struck upon the horse and car riage of Mir. Chester Dowd, of this vii :. age, containing his wife and two daugh> ters. His wife and eldest daughter were but slightly injured, but the youngest daughter-a young lady of about sixteen, was very badly bruised. and yesterday her life was despaired of. It must have done some thousands of dollars damage in the village of Winsted.

JEREMIAH BRowN, E o.-We this morn ing record the death of Jeremiah Brown, Esq Ex Treasurer of this Sate. and for the last l3 years the efficient and faiths fll Clerk in the Treasury Department To very many of our readers Mr. Brown was personally known, and to nearly all of them his name Is a familiar one. He was elected State Treasurer in 1885, and an nually reelected until 1888, since which tune chs has remained in the office as Clerk, uniformly declining the solicitations of his friends again to become candidate for election as principal. lis lpng experi> snee and familiar acquaintance with the duties of the office, rendered his presence fhere well-nigh indispensable, and he was very rarely absent from his post of duty. In the other relations of life, his excellen- cies were, if less widely known, yet more warmly appreciated. His devoted piely, kindness ofheart, benevolence. and amiable deportm ent, endeared Linn to the church and the social circle in which he was per . sonally known, and will make his loss the more severely felt by his family. relatives and friends,
 MT. Brown was native of Granville, Mass. He was in early life merchant, and for several years engaged in business in this city, us partner in the firm of Brown & Savage. Hartford Courant.
