yesterday, and the day turned out
quite unpropitious. The wind at
noon yesterday blew a young hnrri-
cane, tearing shingles from old roofs
sweeping away signs, upsetting bulle-
tin boards, and tearing posters from
their places. A dashing rain fell
for a few minutes. The river was
rougher than we ever saw it, the
waves rolling high and dashing the
spray clear over the decks Of boats al

southeast all forcnoon, but veered
round to the south and west, chop
ping backwards and forward. W.
