visited this part of the State night before last,
left its mark in many places about town. The
cobble-stone pavement at the southeast cor
ner of Montgomery and California streets

heavy flow of water, assisted by the defec

walk. 1t will take sixty days before this can
be repaired under the Consolidation Act A
fran no, Sc, near the corner of Dupont and
Francisco streets, fell during night-the
earth having been washed away from the
foundations. About one hundred feet of the
wall in front of Capt. IIalleck's property, on
Folsom street. fell out into the street, as did
also a portion of the high brick wall opposite
st Mary's Cathedral, on Dupont street sixty
or eighty feet of Lombard Dock was torn
away by the breaking udrift of the ship
Northern Light, which drifted short dis
tance to leeward In fact we might enumer-

the storm has done more or less damage; but
the above will suffice to show that the gale
