the appearance Of the runs 70 have bssn very substantial

by parties who live in house convenient TO crekk and

violence. Another and most furious blast Of the vhri-
wind now swept past making the edce cresk again for
moment more loudly than BEFORE and finally yield its
form and crumble beneath the irresistible fury of the
tempest nov is nothing than Q mass of broken
timber, crushed 10 fragments by it's weight The
cost Of this building was probably about $4,000.
HOUSES DAMAGED IN FIFTY THIRD STREET AND sE-
COND AVENUE.
The large brewery owned BY Mr.. Alice in Sesond ave-
nue., near Forty first street, very much damaged
The building one and considerable portion OF
the roof was blown of and scattered far in every d.
recton. Fortunately, however, was injured by
the materials falling in the streets probably owing to the
fact that they were deserted 1t the time the storm
was raging. new house on the corner OF Fifty. third
street and Third also much damaged by hav
ing large portion OF It's roofing blown from and scat
tered into the adjoining streets The damage done to

SCENES ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE POWER OF THE
STORM.
In the liquor store of Mr.. Costello, the corner Of
Forty Ih street and Third avenue the storm produced
no small alarm With sudden howl flung nearly half
Of the huge pancs Of glass OF the large windows in
showers Of broken glass into the store, blowing them
everywhere to the terror and astonishen Of the pro-
prietor An instant OF comparative quiet now ensued
and gave those who stood the first shock opportunity
Of recovering possession OF their thoughts and oppor
tuny of witnessing . second, and again reapsng
sciously into state Of momentary bewilderment The
proprietor could hardly believe that his windows were
now smashed in the manner they were, and he immed
aey determined to resist the further attempts Of the de-
stroyer by covering his windows with tho shutters.
The who undertook TO do this was stout man, bus
not strong enough 10 resist the fury OF the hurricane
without considerable inconvenience. He rushed out,
with q shutter In his hand, to commence bis work,
but was caught by the gust OF the whirlwnd, which
ust then passed the OF the and whred 10
the middle Of the street with the ruthless violence
BY desperate effort he regained the mastery feet
for instant but had no done than the
turning wave Of the tempest drove him with fury
towards the window, and possibly would pot
have hestated In blowing him through it, not for
the strenuous efforts OF the proprietor The obstinate
wind resisted many Efforts 10 closc the window but tho
work was finally accomplished by united efforts patience
and perseverance Many persons whired OF their
feet altogether and obliged 10 submit 10 pranr s1d whms
Of tho wind, in various parts of The city.
TUNBLrNG or wA0oSs--sCKSKs IN THE BowKRy.
Many wagons tumbedI In various strests,
and 10 instances their drivers put hors de combat
One of these took place the Bowery and is
worthy Of than notice OF the fact for was
. humorous AFFAIR. An advertising wagon was moving
down the thoroushfsre Prcome street, in the
naughty manner, attracting notice than rs more
security In conspicuous place .ncar the front Of tho
vehicle. Down the street hasiy pursuit rushed also
detached blast Of the imre,uous tempest roaring
rage aod sweeping evsry obstacle out OF the way OF as
approach In another instant esush. the huge vehicle
which would 10 have especial object OF It's
attentions and flung forwards few PAGES moro than
otherwise would have moved at ~ naturally deliberate
pace. The driver bounced 70 his feet and looked aoy
iousy round in amazement 70 conjecture what giant
other monster made sport Of his busners, and The
meantime the tempest gave additional howl, md then
returned TO the charge with increased violence. This
time II took the cumbrous traveller in the flank,
and stated to have literally raised driver all into
the air and then most ,rcscherOusly flung them beam
end uppermoet upon the pavement. To conclude, the
driver again at his post and the wagon, bearing
most unmistakeable tokens Of ARRAY kind
resumed ifs upright position and former melton.

their places and dashed against the ground 10 the Bowc
