DESTRUCTIVE SToRM.-A correspondent of the
Hartford Democrat, writing from Upper X Roads
under date of October LIST, says:
"0n Wednesday of last week, about o'clock
terrible hurricane passed over portion of
this county doing great damage. Itcommenced
in Baltimore county, on the edge OF Long Green
Valley at Jos. Gorsuch's, and then passed to the
farm of the late John Harlan, blew down sub
s:antial straw house attached to the barn, and
all the fences. Two young men were at the
barn and heard the storm when they started
for the house, but were caught and blown down
several times, but escaped without damage.
After it left Harlan's the storm appeared to
raise up until it reached the Falls, where it
struck the timber of James Baldwin, which
was almost totally destroyed. Some of VIM.
Baldwin's timber was also damaged. 1t thence
passed to st. Clair Baldwin's and blowing down
henhouse and shade trees, it then struck the
farm of H. Twining, where it blew all the corn
down and moved a straw house Oft its founda-
ton. 1t then struck the woods of Mr.. Joseph
Ashton, almost totally destroying it. 1t then
came to James Amoss' ofScott, where the storm
seemed to be still more violent. straw house
was blown down and the porch attached to
the dwelling house they were living in was al
so blown down. The spring house roof was al
so blown eff and all the fencing blown over,
fence rails being carried, in some cases, 100
yards. post and rail fence along the public
road was destroyed, and in some cases taking
the posts bodily out of the ground with all the
rails in the posts and carrying them some feet
off. Many slate were blown Of new dwelling
house that Mr.. Amoss had just erected, and
were carried by the force Of the wind Of
mile. Mr.. Thompson, a neigh Dor OF Mr. AInoss',
was on his way home and was caught by the
storm, when he lay down, but was several times
raised up by the force of the wind.
at then passed over Isaac winnings farm,
destroying much valuable timber and fences.
His wood house was blown down and large
sized hen house moved off its foundation
About third of his orchard was also blown
down. 1t then struck piece of woods of Mr..
Waters, damaging it very severely, and final
ly struck very valuable piece of woodland of
Mrs. Richard Mechem, damaging it many hum
dreds OF dollars. The storm continued in a
northeast course. We have not heard of much
damage after leaving Mrs. Mechem's.
"The storm lasted about five minutes and
kept a nearly straight direction. The roaring
noise made by it was heard some distance
The storm passed over a field of corn of Mr..
Amoss, blowing down all the shocks IN its
course, but the shocks were thrown down in In
opposite direction to the general course of the
storm. This is one of the most violent hurri-
canes that ever passed over this section"
