Tuesdays storm ON the River.

The heavy storm which passed over this section
of the country Oh Tuesday was one Of unusual
severity on the river. The steamer Arrowsmith,
which was returning from Leonardtown, was
struck nearly opposite the White House landing.
She was blown over until the water washed over
the lower deck, Captain Ross, soon as he could,
turned her head to the wind and received the full
force of the storm at her bow, and SO saved the
vessel from being thrown ashore. The hurricane
roof was lifted off the stancheons and fell back
with terrible crash, which brought consterna'
ton TO the passengers. Men blanched and women
screamed and fainted making scene of the
greatest confusion until the fury of the storm
abated The sQuall had been visible for
some time prior to its breaking over the river An
immense funnel shaped cloud of the same char
acter us those which have done such damage in
the West, was swiftly blowing up from the south.
