afternoon were more damaging in this city
and vicinity than were those of any pre-
viOus storm this season, and during the
past quarter of II century but two other
storms of equal violence are on record.
Although Of comparative short duration,
an immense volume of water fell, suddenly
flooding streets, choking up sewers, over
flowing ponds, and making general havoc.
The peals of thunder were very heavy, and
followed almost instantly by frequent and
vivid flashes Of lightning. The wind du-
ring a portion Of the time blow almost
hurricane.
THE UPPER sFCTIoH OF THE CITY.
Around the corne- of First and River
streets, at Halls building, it seemed as il
there was perfect cyclone The wind
and rain came up from the river on the
south with tremendous force until it reach
equally heavy gust from the other side,
and joining their forces they swept every
thing before them. Fortunately however.
no great amount of damage was done here,
except sia''"'ns IL" uoorS careless
ly left open, thereby causing considerable
destruction OF glass.
