THE WEATHER About 3 o'clock a. m.
Sunday "Old Boroas" broke lose upon
this community, and for an hour held
complete possession OF the city and its
enyirons: at A u. m. he was reinforced
by the entire strength Of the forces OF
Jovo and Pluvius, and the three com
bined made matters and things lively
from that hour until long after day
break. In fact It was one OF the hcavi-
est storms OF tho season, and
for a time threatened great loss to both
life and property. The only accident
we have heard OF up to date, outside of
the blowing down of q few trees and
signs. was that to the ship Majestic,
which was struck by lightning, the par
ticulars of which will be found in an
other column.

breaks the camels back, and we think
that the last one has been piled on
when the city authorities rent out a
building belonging to the city and for
merly used rs tool house, to erties
who use it at present as a barrel and
