~ The STORM of Wind and Rain
which began on Saturday night last Is fti'' raging q
p NJ, Wednesday with scarcely noticeable abatement.
There have been few brief intervals of calm, but for
at least seveneighths of the time rain has fallen nces-
sanity We are not quite discouraged however, for we
have vivid recollection of similar weather last spring,
when the sun was invisible for entire week. But
the damage done by the present storm, In this
vicinity, has not been remarkable. The Sound
steamers have been somewhat retarded. Many
of the fishermen on Coney Island have lost their
boat nets and tackle and the boats brought to
the dock at that place be used in raising sunken
schooner driven out to sea- with chains, screws ard
other article, on board Toe stad fishery In the Gay
and River has been much retarded. In addition to
seven buildings demolished in Fiiytbirdst three three
story fame houses being erecred in Fifty sixth' near
second-ay. were blown down. The stone copngs OF
dwelling house adjoining the Hudson River Railroad
Office, in Warrenst, were sweps of by the wind, and
fell upon the roof of the depot causing however, but
little damage Many chmneys in various parts OF the
Civ have also given way to the repeated blasts of the
pale The high tides have overhowed cellars in some
places damaging property to considerable amount.
Trade and travel, and public amusemens especially,
have been interfered with to great extent We think
lone.looked for spring for as "One swallow does no.
make summer so the small glnpses OF fer and mild
weather for the past six weeks have only assured US
that spring 10 yet to come
