STOR VI.

We were visited about o'clock on Monday
morning last, with one of the most violent
storms that was ever experienced here. The
wind blew perfect hurricane-the rain fell in
torrents--the lightning was vivid and the thun-
der heavy. At the Rail Road five of the fine
large buildings of the Company were more or
less injurcd-the iron roof of one of the large
shops was entirely removed, and the end of the
building torn down-iron roofs and brick walls
seemed as chat before the wind" The loss
of the Company cannot be less than IS 600 or
$1,000 a portion of the copper roof was taken
from the dwelling of Joha W. Boyd. Several
trees in town were blown down; also some fen
eng. Much fencing in the country was blown
down.
