Thursday afternoon of last week, evi-

by the time it bad reached the eastern

before it. The greatest loss of life was
ut WallingfOrd, Conn.,, which place was

with persons seeking to identify friends,
or TO satisfy morbid curiosity. The
destruction of property was only less
terrible, forty houses being completely
demolished and many others unrOofed
and otherwise damaged. A New York
Herald correspondent at Wallingiord
gives list of the killed AID woundel
and IA vivid description of the effec:s of
the storm, and says: "Thc destruction.
apart from the long list of killed and
wounded, beggars description. On the
Plain two parallel streets were swept
completely away. The Catholic church,
which was wooden structure, was COM
pletely demolished. Many of the dwell
ings are so thoroughly swept away that
