r. = BUFFALO, Nov, 10.
h. The storm ceased last night, having ragged with
unprecedented violence for twenty-four hours.
| Much damage was done along the Lake ShoIe. 1t
is supposed that the propeller Sampson went
ashore about the light house. She was laden with
flour, and is total loss; she belonged to Monroe,
| Michigan. The schooner E. R Bruce went ashoSe
at the same place; she belonged to William Buck
| ley, of Buffalo, and was insured in the Buffalo
Mutual Insurance Co. She had ne cargo. Many
bodies, supposed to belong to the Atlantic, which
was wrecked last summer, weTs thrown up.
The steamers Empire, Keystone State, Ocean,
Buckeye State, Empire State and others are safe at
DunkiTk. The big Flora came in flying before
the gale; she struck on the pier and was consid-
erably damaged.
The propeller Globe, while endeavoring to make
Dunkirk harbor, struck rock, and became to-
tai wreck. .!-t9
1t is reported that the steamer st. Louis, loaded
with live stock and 1000 bbls flour, was wreck
ed at the head of the Lake. The storm was sue
ceeded bya hard frost.
The silerings of the crews of the. disable d
boats were severe.sis.laf ai.s-, ~.
gJ-The Providence Journal says awe have not
seen the coincidence anywhere noticed that Mr..
Webster was not the only great man to whose mind
"Grey's Elegy'' has occurred on the eve of death,
but we read that when Gen. Wolfe was moving at
midpight in his boats to the attack on Quebec, he
repeated to his officers this poem, and at its close,
said, f'Gentlemen, l had rather be the author Of
those lines than take Quebec Tomorrow" The
PARALLEL might be continued, for none can doubt
from the calm manner Of Mr.. WeLster's departurei
that he, like Wolfe, though in far higher field of
conflict, was also a conqueror even in DEATH"
