The storm at Esdaile on Monday at
| ternoon of the 18th inst. is reported as
extremely disastrous. Many gardens
were entirely destroyed except what
was under ground. For the first fif-
teen minutes the water fell in sheets
accompanied by hail stones as large as
walnuts. The new dam for the third
| time this season was washed away.
Loose property fioated around and
everything generally gave way to the
| turbulent waters. Hailstones rapidly
increased in quantity and size until
! they fell as large as hens eggs. Many
buildings covered with second class
material were unshingled and the in
| mates were literally deluged. DAM
