Many thousand dollars damage

the latest sensation whose

all its hypocritical cant about

"L,TTLE DROPS OF WATER"

The psalmist tells US make
the mighty ocean," and on Mon
day they, in conjunction with a
stiff gale from the Northwest
managed to create quite a commo-
ton here. For several days
previous The sky had shown indi-
cations of an approaching storm
and although our weather pfoph-
cts had uttered their warnings
every one seemed to think there
was but little in it, as we had
been visited by the storm of the
I22nd. Early Sunday night a
light rain began to fall increasing
towards daylight when the wind
became more violent and by I
O'clock was blowing a perfect
gale, tearing up trees, blowing
down houses, fencing and every
thing which did not offer sufficient
resistance to its terrible power.
THE wind and rain continued
with unabated violence until
about 3 o'clock when the wind hay
ing shifted to the west, appeared
TO have spent its fairy, and the
rain dwindled down to a drlzzle
and finally ceased. Just at sun
down the sun peeped out like some
mighty eye from above, apparently
to view the wreck and ruin which
a few short hours reign Of the
elements had wrought. In the
f parish at large the damage done
is enormous, and can not be estlm
ated. Crops, fences, and out
buildings have been Frustrated
; everywhere, bridges washed ava,
and travel suspended on accoun'
Of high water. In Abbeville
fences and trees were blown dowl
in all directions, not a single place
escaping. Two large china tree
growing on the banquette on tn
west size of the Catholic Church
were blown down, aud the larges
in falling struck the corner OF th
e Church and broke off a portion 0
the roof and weather boarding
! The bell was shaken of lss SUI
;. ports in the tower and came yer,
near crashing through to tn
ground. The old CHINA at til
corner Of Wise's store was uproo
ed and hurled across the bal
quite. A large willow at tn
e Post Office corner was broke
short off by the wind. One OF th
d hotel chimneys and that Of Nj
Bernard were blown over.
