heaps against partition which runs
through the building, and left them to
drain. They will not lose very much.
The docks Of the s. D, & O. Railroad es-
caped any serious damage. The buildings
we're somewhat damaged BY having the
sides stove in.
We learn that the cribbing Of the S. D. /
O. road was somewhat injured and the track
q little displaced but not as to stop the
trains.
The dock and warehouse at the right hand
at the foot Of Columbus Avenue were very
mach damaged.

The principal loss, however, was sustained
br the O. B T. Railroad. In many places
along Railroad street, the track is much dis.
placed, and in several places It is entirely
swept away; while across the cove, the crib
bing IS much damaged BY having the eulyerts
vast ed out and the road bed swept away, and
for rods together the track is carried away
and lies plunged in the bay. Superintendent
Rucker Of Cleveland, was telegraphed, who
hes arrivedShere, and commenced making
repairs with large force Of hands, Intend
ing TO have the damage repaired promptly
We learn, also, that the docks of the S. u. &
n. Railroad was considerably Injured.
Our Oldest residents all agree in saying
they never before saw such storm in San
dusky. We are told BY some who have OBJ
served the matter, that the water was at least
eighteen inches higher than It was ever
known before.
The Chicago Tribune says of the effects of
the Storn in that city:
Old inhabitants consider this the most se-
we're storm, for its duration, that has occurred
here for several years, a0d it is remarkable
that the loss of lives and property was not
ten fold greater.
The favorable winds that for some days
preceded the gale enabled most Of the inward
bound vessels, in this part Of the Lake, to
enter the harhor before the storm became Sc
vere, thus saving US the painful task of rela-
ting the mary disasters that would have oc
euTed.
The schooner Live Yankee with a cargo
of wheat put into Milwaukee disabled, hav-
ing lost her head-siays, bow-sprit and iib-'
boom.
