VAST DAMAGE ON WATER AND LAND-THE
SNOW PILED HIGH.
NEW YORK, October l6.-A dispatch from
Milwaukee says: The wind.storm which
prevailed here yesterday and last night was
the seyerest ever known in this section, aud
the barometer was never known to be so
low. The wind was from the SOUTH blow
ing between sixty aud seventy miles an
hour. A large fleet OF vessels sought this
harbor for safety, and rode out OF the gale
i'm the bay. Dispatches from La Crosse say
the storm all along the Southern Minnesota
railway was the ssverest known In years.
Passenger and freight trains along the line
were blockaded in snow-driftS from ten to
twelve feet deep, and teams with provisions
have been dispatched to their relief from
several points. The train which left LIZ
Crosse on FRIDAY has not been heard from
since leaving Fulda that night. All the
cuts west of FairmODt arc filled with snow,
hacked hard. Reports Of cattle. noises,
&C., having persisted. are constantly re-
celved; but no loss OF human life has yet
been reported. Ii is the worst storm ever
known i'll Southern Minnesota aud Eastern
Dakota, and still raging. During the day
the steamer Sheboygan arrived here from
Manitowoc, and reports seeing The steamer
ton Friday night aud whose safety was
feared--well over TO the east shore, and
thinks she reached her destination. The
steamer Menomene. which left here for
Grand Haven Friday night, was forced
down the lake, and arrived at Nanitowoc
safely. Nothing has been heard from
the steamer Depre, which left Grand Haven
Friday night for this port, and ali sorts of
opinions are expressed concerning her
safety. Many vessels caught outside were
damaged in canvas and rigging and lost
their deck-loads. The schooner Reprocity
was waterogged, and drifted on the beach
at Two Rivers. The barge Florence Lester
broke adrift from her tow, and the gravest
fears are entertained for her aud crew OF
six. men. A seaman named Nelson Hen
erickson, OF this city, was lost from the
schooner Willard ut ManitowOc, and an-
oiher:seamln, name unknown, from one OF
the tug.barges lost In the same vicinity. A
long list OF disasters is expected when re-
ports are received from the east-shore ports.
The SentinePS Sheboygan special says a fire
there this morning DESTROYED ten buildings.
Loss, $4,000; insured.
