New YORK N0x. 5.-A letter received by
Rev. Mr.. Kimber from Bishop Holly, da, ed
"Port Au Prince, Oct. 8th, 1873" gives an
account of severe storm which swept over
the southern coast of the island Sept 4th.
The Bishop says four hundred houses were
destroyed at Cayes the Caribbean Sea and
several interior streams rising and flooding
the city. Large rocks were transported by
the sea into the middle of the streets in
some places, and many lives were los by
drowning or being buried in the sand, which
was transmitted by the sea with rocks and
heaped up in mounds in the city. The
residence of Mr.. Sedan was damaged, and
one of his sisters drowned by the flood.
Other towns of the South suffered in a
like manner. Aquin and Cavaillon were
completely destroyed. Sixty persons lost
their lives in the former place. Lanse a
Veau was also visited by the tempest, but
the damage is not so great. The misery
of the inhabitants in these cities is incalcu-
liable, and the Bishop suggests that some ef-
fort be put on foot to raise contributions.
The Bishop of Hayti and the chapter asso-
ciaed with him offer to make q careful
distribution of any contributions sent to
their care. Contributions designated for
this purpose may be sent to James M.
Brown, Treasurer of the Bible-house, New
York

determined resistance.
