ram II fell in perfect torrents during the
remainder of the day and the winds blew
a tornado. AT this juucture, Broadway
presented ore saddened sight of disnay
and confusion; umbrellas turned wrong
si!e out, hats, bonne,s and even persons
blown IN all directions. Trees torn up

were thrown down by the terrible force
Of the elements, killing anil injuring the
inmates. In fact it WAS truly alarming
TO be either in or out Of doors during the
day. But thanks TO Kind providence,

and Sunday morning opens with clear
sky and a genial sun. But the vcs,ices
