SUNDAYS SToaa.-We have been
at some pains to ascertain the loss to
our county from the storm and flood Of
Sunday last and the smallest estimate
f:om the most favorable date puts il
largely in excess Of 100000. We
have interviewed different and reliable
parties from each OF the seven election
districts into which our county is divi-
ded (the attendance upon the Septem-
Der term Of Court enabling us to obtain
information of every neighborhoodD and
the above amount is given after care
ful analysis and is regarded by obser-
want men as an underestimate of the
actual loss. The damages embrace the
obstruction of barns and out houses, with
tobacco therein: tobacco in the field;
growing corn: provender, top and blades:
orchards; ornamental trees: timber: mill
dams, etc, etc. On the Potomac and
Patuxent sides of the county, there is
not wharf unchanged, the majority
severely; also many warehouses, with
produce and merchandise in transit.
The loss of cord-wood on the shores is
very heavy. One warehouse was float
ed away by the water. The damage
to sail craft is also severe, many having
parted their cables and dritted ashore.
Two large vessels, laden with coal and
anchored opposite Piney Point Light,
are reported to have foundered and gone
down. No section of the county esca.
ped, though some sections suffered more
than others. The hotel buildings, etc,
at Point Lookout were isolated from the
main land by an overflow of water and
are now approachable only by boats
The damage in this section is very Sc
we're, but 70 give particulars would re-
quire the mention of every farmer and
householder in the county. One con-
ISOLATION obtains. there is yet reported no
loss OF human lite.
