The severe storm OF yesterday was eqni-
noxial, The wind came In the severe form
Of gale, aud the rain was u perfect flood.
Again the storm ragged last evening, ac-
com panied for while by rattliuR OF
hail. The wind Is SO powerful while we
write that the solid Democrat building In
which we write In shaken to its founda-
tons This spell will probably check the
decline OF the rivers temporarily. Boats
have been delayed by the storm, and
doubtless Injury has resulted TO SOME OF

Throughout the entire OF yesterday the

breeze at intervals.
Business on the landing did not appear
70 be as active rs on the previous day, bat
considering the few departures VIII per-
haps, account for the dizziness. There were
five departures, and of them, the Gen.
Quttman, appeared to have the lions
share OF what freight was shipped.
