THE ErrECrs OF THE STORM We huve
learned but little additional news of the
disaster of Saturday last. Out of the
city limits to the North and South, the
storm did no damage, but to the East and
West fences were laid low, trees blown
down, and few small cabins wrecked
In the city, the gin-house of Mr.. j. G.
Graham wns demolished, as also the sta
bles Mt the Fair Grounds. We hear of
considerable loss by the flooding of rooms
and the injury to warlrobes, books, fur
niture, &c. 1T is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good" and the wind of Saturday
has blown big job to the carpenters,
glaziers and painters.
Now that the fears Of the victims of the
storm have vanished, we will give an in
sight to the ludicrous phase of the un-
welcome event. 4 large number of gen.
tlemen were in Reese & Cnrrolls shaving
saloon, rs is usual on Saturday, when the
wind rushed along in Ill it's fury, throw
ing the debris of other places upon the
barber shop. The inmates, under the
impression that tho roof was falling in,
rushed for the street. Here was pic
turc. One with lather nll over his face,
another with towel around his neck,
some with coats and no hats, and others
minus both, while here was half-shaycn
face and there half-trimmed head of
hair. In NIL the raging storm and driv-
ing rain, stood these patrons Of Alonzo
and Cnp., Il picture for the pencil of m
artist. To relieve the tableau, n barber
was to be seen with razor in one hand
and brush in the other, another stood
looking on with his hnnds full of nm
oleaginous compound, while third
rushed about armed with n comb and
brush. After the storm had departed, it
was ascertained that many of these TN
finished customers had done the same,
but they returned before midnight.
Many heads of families rushed for
their homes, to take steps for shielding
their families from impending danger;
hut while no injury WAS inflicted upon
their charges, dealers in hats did thriv-
ing business yesterday in fitting these
heads, to supply the place Of lost hats.
just before tho cyclone, three ladies
resident on Arsenal Hill, started on a
shopping expedition, and had proceeded
NJ far us Glaze's foundry, when they disco
vered the storm approaching. They were
retracing their steps, when the tornado
burst upon them in all its strength; and
finding it impossible to make headway
against the wind, olung to fence neal
at hand, and there securely anchored
until the storm subsided. Now thaI
the danger has passed away, tho ladies
relate the story and describe their I'M
pleasant predicament with great glee. d
Since writing the above, we learn that
the premises of Mr.. r. E. Howell, near
Hampton's pond, were badly damaged.
His yard was filed with prostrated trees
and his fencing blown down, but his
heaviest loss was the knocking down O
portion Of his dwelling by falling tret
and the complete wrocking of his kitchen
At Batesburg. on tho line of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad
buildings were destroyed The track o.
the railroad was washed away near Ora
niteville, and hands have been ordered
to rebuild it. 4-f.,. ~ ~
