GREAT GAiE.-A severe gale passed over Rich
mond and Huntington on saturday last, proving
the most destructive that has occurred for 30
years The fences were Frustrated in all direc-
tions In Richmond a number of chimnies and the
cross on the church were blown down, and several
barns laid low The new covered bridge in the
village was swnyed down stream some two or
three feet in the middle and many Of the timbors
broken. In Huntington the new covered bridge
near Mr.. Caswel's was blown down, and several
buildings prostmtei, unrooed, and stripped Of
shingles.
The loss Of growing timber has been immense,
especially in hemock, which is nearly all piled
in windGs between Richmond and huntington
Tho loss in roofs ofbuildings, chimneys, &C., has
been very general.
The tempest overlook Dr. Carpenter, Of Bur
lington in the Brewster Woods, 50 near Hunt
ineton. while on his way to visit patient The
Doctors progress was suddenly arrested by a
large tree blown across the track just ahead of
him, but he says that he only stopped to see il he
could drive around it, when down came another
behind him. The crashing and threshing around
helped him to form an opinion and he quickly de-
cded that to cross the ditch and 60 around was
less dangerous than to longer mediate how to do
it, on
Two men were riding in wagon near the
Huntington bridge when it fell the carriage
was overturned by the gale aud the inmates spill
ed upon the ground without personal Injury.
Later intelligence shows that the same gale
swept along the Western slope Of the mountains,
through Cambridge, Bakersfield, Enosburgh,
Montgomery, Berkshire and Richiord, doing the
same work Of leyeling fences and prostrating or
unroofng barns and out-buildings. 1t began at
Bennington Friday night, blowing down fences,
chimneys aud trees almost indiscriminately, and
so seriously interfering with the trains that many
passengers left Saturday mornings train at North
Bennington.

A. D. RICHARDSON, the famous
Tribune correspondent, died
last Thursday morning from
the effect of the wound infict,
ed by Mcfarland. Before he
died he was married to Mrs.
McFarland,w who had previously
been divorced from her hus
band. Mr.. Richardson was the
most brilliant, and at the same
time the most reliable of the
whole corps of regular CORE
spondents engaged on the city
papers, never fearing to speak
the truth, and running all man
ner of risks of bodily harm to
obtain his information. His
letters from Kansas during the
border warfare, from the far
south on the eve of the rebel
lion, and from the front during
the war contained the most re.
liable information that could
be obtained. f---,
