The house of William, Grenier, at the dis.

Of Eleazer Boulangee were destroyed, and
one of the limbers was thrown thirty feet in
length, and carried across ten acre field. A
horse belonging 10 Thomas Ouellet was
raised TO the heIgbt of thirty feet from the
ground, and then, after the ascending force
had exhausted, fell covered with mud, leaving

struck. Three cows were similarly raised,
and were covered with mud when they fell.
Two carts were lifted from in front of the de-
molished house OF William Grenier, 10 a pro.

destroyed as il heavy harrow had passed

broken and interlaced like field of grain,
which had been bealen down by hail. A
maple tree of considerable diameter was
placked up and carried distance Of 5 acres.
An enormous cherry tree was hurled through
