CAHor.-A severe storm passed over this place
last Thursday evening. The thunder and light

tinuous blaze for nearly two hours About half
past nine came the most powerful wind that has
visited us for number of years. 1t blew from
the Southwest and came with such force that
trees were uprooted, roofs blown of, sheds blown
down, etc. etc. Sugsr-places suffered very much
in some sections G. NJ. Webster and A. NJ. Eos
ter each lost quite large number OF nice trees.
The old elm that stood in front OF the residence Of
l.. Fisher, that has withstood the blasts for
threo-fourths Of a century, had to yield. The
north half Of its beautiful top was blown of
which detrcts very much from its former stately
appearance MIR Fisherhad previously taken the
precaution to protect it with a heavy chain yet it
was quickly snapped in two Although Mr.. +.
was loser in other directions by the gale in hav.
ing shed, fences etc, blown down, he considers
this the greatest loss Of all.
