was brought to a sudden termination, just
after the procession had reached the fair

blown to pieces. In the town proper, houses
and barns were moved from their foundation,
roofs were blown off, ohimneys blown down, |
sc, while in the country, crops were badly |
injured, and much timber blown down.

story an infamous falsehoOd, and the evidence
to be his a forgery. Thus one by
one, do the ISLANDERS upon the President and
his family fall to the ground.
