rooted and many others were racked
and shaken up. The total damage
is estimated at $4,000. Some say
that the storm was not cyclone
but a tornado, sweeping along in a
direct line. It's speed may be con.
ceived from the fact that in six.
minutes it had passed over 125
miles. It was in the form when
first seen, ola low cloud driving
along the surface and rolling rapidly
around. while lightning played in
cessantly from it's front. The
destruction it wrought was as
complete as in the celebrated cy-
clone at Grinnel. In this city
storm was felt chiefly in the shape
of hail. Some of the stones, or
rather of ice, that fell were unpre-
cedented IN size. One half pounds,
ond others from four onnces to a
pound and a halfin weight and va.
rying in size Of a hickory nut to a
coffee cup, were very common.
Fortunately the obstruction wrought
by this was confined to a few paues
Of glass broken. But very little
was felt here, but the rain fall was
enormous, and the lightning in
tensely vivid. At this hour all the
details of destruction are not yet in,
but it is prabable that no more ia.

Ship Building in Maine Looking Up,

In Bath, Me-, there are now 21 YES
sells building, of which 5 are 1000 tons
and upward. In addition to these, %
vessels have been launched since jan L,
1882, having an aggregate tonnage of
"a, 638 tons. The total tonnage for the
year 1882 will be about $4,000 tons.
Last year 36, 1874 tons were built at Bath
and in 1874, 34,10O. The largest tonnage
was built in 1854-about $4,000 tons.
From that date until 1860 the building
fell off rapidly, being only 18,4OO tons
in 1860. Indeed, all the statistics show
that wooden ship-building began to de-
cline five or six years prior to the war,
and seven or eight years prior to the
adoption of protective tariff. Its
greatest decline in Bath was during the
free trade years just before the war of
1861. The total tonnage built at Bath
from 1860 to 1881, both inclusive, was
464, PIT tons. No labor is better paid
than that employed at Bath in ship
building. Every week this season $780,
600 has been paid as wages by the Bath
builders. A builder employing about
$50 men says that his weekly payments
were $500 for wages-an average OF
$1,000 per week to each man. The ship
mechanics live in good style, in scores
of instances owning houses that may be
called elegant, and horses and carriages

light in stylish turnouts. They are we'll
