The LATE SToHM.-The storm of Friday
night was a very severe one. Quite a number
of vessels were more or less bruised by being
rubbed against the wharves, and the disasters,
if any, will be found in our marine column.
The Montreal, of the Boston Steam Packet
Company, hauled off INFO the stream to avoid
chatting against her wharf A chimney blew
down at Miss Jones' boarding house, corner of
Park and Congress streets, smashing large
hole in the roof and considerably injuring the
room directly underneath. The steamer be-
longing TO the New York line from New York
to Portland put into New London for harbor
The Portland & Roche 'ter Railroad men were
at work clearing the cuts and the trains came
il on time. The Kennebec was an hour late
and so was the Grand Trunk. The Presump-
scot was higher than it has been for years, and
fears were entertained that Prde's bridge aud
county bridge would go as the water was level
with the floor timbers. A number of logs were
carried off and the fires at the Cumberland
Taper Mills we're extipguished, while the falls
at Cumberland Mills were very fine. On Sun
day the Grand Trunk road was washed away
about SIX miles from Portland and a train was
sent out from this city to meet the steamer
train from Montreal and bring in the mails,
luggage and passengers. An account of Il e
damages done by the storm in other parts of
the State will be found elsewhere.
