dered useless. The Daniel Smith
buildings were badly damaged by un-
dermining and the gravel and debris
left in and about them. Porter Bald
wins ice house was washed down to
the lower bridge and his lot badly
cut by the water. The bridge on
Main street was undermined and the
sidewalk demolished. Below the
bridge the stone and gravel filled the
channel full, and the stream with lots
of gravel and sand was turned on to
the Horace Pierce lot, where it cut
new channels and did great damage.
We estimate Mr.. Pierce's damage as
great as that of anyI one on the
stream. A half mile further north
there was a small break on the rail-
road, which with the one in this vii
lage was repaired in season for the
morning mail train. DR.. Prime see
ing the break in the railroad, signal
ed an approaching train and prevent
ed what might have been a very Sc
rious accident. The damage to crops
cannot be estimated but must be
great. Everything was blown pros
trate and much was uprooted. The
meadows, in many places, were COW
cred with water and sand, while the
grass is hurt by the abundance of
water in the ground, as is every 9th
er crop.
The storm on Wednesday was very
terrific at points east of here. AT
the south end of Willoughby Lake
the hail fell in great quantities the
windows at the Lake house and sur
rounding buildings were badly bro
ken, probably hundred panes in
the Lake house; the crops were de-
stroyed and a general havoc made in
all directions. Rufus Clifford and
family were caught out in the storm
beside the lake and finding no ade-
quate shelter they were badly hurt
by the hail while the horse suffered
still worse. In Newark the storm
was marked by path of destruction
a barn on the Cheney place was
struck by lightning and burned. The
papers give an account of this OF g
similar storm, which struck the towns
on the Upper Connecticut.
On the whole, as one man remark.

got in between the mountains of Yer

On Thursday and Saturday othe
