Editor Register My Dear Sir /:
Mr.. and Mrs :. h. NJ. Cowles of this
town, celebrated the tenth anniversary of
their marriage, on the evening Of the
t~enty-seventh inst, by a reception given
to their friends.
A large number of guests were present
from different portions of the county, but
the rooms III their ample mansion are so
conveniently arranged that all We're ena-
bled to move freely about.
The table, covered with gifts "done IN
TIM" first met the eye on entering. Con-
spicuous above all was the dinner horn
about five feet long, which was brought
into frequent requisition during the even
ing. Then there We're articles both use
full and tanciful from model" Stewart

but equally useful wash basin.
Early in the evening the bride of one
decade was decorated by her lady atten-
dants with glittering tina bonnet in the
latest style, earrings, bracelets, etc ;
while the bridegroom was increased in
stature by tin hat, q h mote Paris, with
a ponderous l?) tin repeater and chain,
etc.
They were then conducted through the
rooms and introduced to their admir-
ing friends
Many were expecting renewal of
the marriage ceremony, but they were
doomed to disappointment, Our New

delighted guests, which attested the skill
of mine hostess, and all felt that that horr
would never summon to aught but vel

Altogether, it was one of most pleasant
entertainments it has been our lot to par
ticipate in.

Dear SIR The gale of last
Saturday did much damage here. Mr..
Noble Brooks COW barn was overturned,
Edward Munger's house was unshingled
and two noble old trees in front of it
were thrown down. His damages are
estimated at from, two to five hundred
dollars. b. Preston had one side of his
barn left entirely shingles, Ed Seely es-
capped with only little injury. John
ButtOlph had one barn entirely unrooled,
and forty feet of the roof torn from q
large sixty feet barn, also his corn barn, was
left with but half of its complement Of
shingles, and one tenant house was left
bare. One third of five hay stacks were
carried off &c. s. r. Mills sustained IN
juries, in the way Of his corn barn I'M
shingled and the windows on the east side
Of his house blown in, II, s. Gulley's barn
was badly damaged.

piazza blown from his house, and wood
shed set back, j. Hunts new barn 100
feet, by 80 was severely racked, and
nearly every timber cracked his wood
house was blown over, and good share of
60 bushels of butternuts lost, +. Kend-
all's sheep shed was overturned, every
single was taken off, from the barn of
Ira Pond, and his sugar and fruit or
chards were nearly ruined, the pigsty and
arch house, of Buel Preston, was upset,
nearly every fence on the street, was car
ried away, while the fruit orchards each

pleasant shade trees were laid low, and
fine sugar orchards "irreparably undone. +"
w. p. Nash has large woods almost en-
tirely stricken down, on his and the adjoin-
ing farms, it is estimated that more than
1000 cords of valuable timber, are blown
over.

fN the h"Klster.
FREND kyArp.
Dear Sir,--We have been yisi.
ted by one Of the most destructive winds,
which ever swept over our section of the
town. The wind began to rise about two
O'Clock Saturday morning. At first, in
mild and htful gusts, but increasing in
power until about ten O'Clock p. NJ. when
it eliminated in one continuous blast of
some minutes duration.
Barns and fences, were Frustrated, and
the debris, scattered in wild confusion,
like the leaves of the forest in a wild au.
tumnal breeze.
Shade trees, were in almost every local
ity, uprooted and hurled through the air,
before the fury of the tempest, with the
speed of the whirling arrow.
Comparatively few dwellings but were
more or less injured. Chimneys seemed
to be the merest playthings of the hour
The tempest seemed more appalling in
the east part of New Haven than at the
centre. In one school district almost ev-
cry barn and shed were literally demol-
ished. Mr.. George Uawley had three
barns and horse shed crushed and entirely
ruined, the wood,house where his corn
was spread was also unroofed the entire
product Of his farm, hay and unthreshed
grain is exposed to the pitiless storm.
The largest trees, two feet in diameter
were twisted and wrenched from their
resting place of half a century.
Many families in their panic, as their
dwellings were rocking and reelng, took
refuge in their cellars, deeming it the Sc
curest place. The water in our pond, was
whirled up high in the air, in large vol
umes, apparently stirred from its lowest
depths.
A new barn erected this present season
by Mr.. Hunt over one hundred feet in
ength was nearly ruined The slate from
our new School house was blown off in
patches, over different portions of the
roof. One chimney upon our church was
leveled to the roof. Mr.. Joseph Nash
had his chimneys all levelled with the
roof. His large barn npon the hill was
demolished.
The valuable pinery belonging to Iessrs
Nash 4 Clifford was literally rnined, as
many ofthe largest trees were so split and
splintercd as to render them nearly worth
less
In short, such is the wide spread ruin,
which marked the progress of the temp
est, into desolating march, that we are
unable to particularizc.
We can only say, in the language of
that ubiquitous individuals, THE Oldest
inhabitant,' We never saw the like.

In your last issue you gave the gener-

occurred in this section might be interest

Of other sections, being the same story Of
demolished buildings and Frustrated for
ests. That otu ,cind was as big as any body's
we have abundant evidence. On East
Street the barns of Geo. Hawley were un.
rooted leaving his hay and grain exposed
to the furies Of the wind that was not slow
in taking advantage Of its opportunity to
scatter it beyond all hopes Of recovery.
Alvin Squire had two sheds unrooied and
was otherwise injured in fences and for
est several hundred dollars. The swamp
known as Bottoms swamp was complete
~ riddled of its pines, thousands Of dol
lars worth having been broken off and
turned up by the roots. Mr.. Durfee
claims to have two thousand dollars worth

owned by Watson Morgan, Of Lincoln,
and occupied by Grenough, was badly
injured by having the l.. blown off from
the main part, leaving the kitchen and

around the floor leaving hardly piece of
crockery uninjured, the barn was unroof-

barn suffered in common with others, one
rafter making dead shot for the house

plunged through the roof into the cham

it was suggested, for the unfolding of the

he thought he saw them during its pas

favorable. The clerical party entered
the church little late and were the OBJ

has the Napoleon face and figure, the
forehead less massive than the great
Napolcon's, his carriage less erect. In
the Pastors pew, at the right OF the pull
pit, he was easily observed as following
the exercises, or easily observing once
using his glasses, in aid. The impression
of his countenancc was that of man of
strength and classical refinement, with u
cordial sympathetic temper, which might
make him eloquent, where the orator was
in place, as it must make him welcome

The President on THE FINANCES.
Washington special SAYS

The President ON THE Finances. A
Washington special says;
The President, in conversation with
distinguished fnancier a day or two
since, said that some of the leading Jour
mails had misrepresented his views, through
their Washington correspondents, upon
the subject of finance. He declared him
self in favor of diminishing taxation so
that its burdens might be lighter upon
the laboring classes, and he believed that
with rigid economy in all the departments
and the impartial and thorough enforc-
ment of the tax law, material reduction
could safely be made, without interfering
with the work going on at the treasury,
of selling gold and buying bonds. He
stated, further, that while he was earnest
ly in favor Of resumption at the earliest
possible moment, he believed the present
policy of the Treasury Department would
take gold so near to par that the last step
could be taken without danger to the
business interests of the country, which
interests he declares must be remembered
The President added that the substance
of those views would appear in his next
message"
