E Acyclone struck Burnside in East Hart ford last Sunday evening. It seems to have been a savage specimen of its kind,
 but most fortunately it's path on terra
 irma had few buildings in its course. The direction was northeasterly, and it seemed
 to come from Silver Lane section, and
 swept through Burnside between the resi-
 dences of Mrs Charles Forbes and Nah lon orbes-1carrying away the barn of the last named person, and damaging his house, destroying his orchard, and killing numbers of young chickens. Then it took down several large shade trees, and eight or ten apples on the old George Goodwin
 place, but the house was not touched, The roar of the wind was. terrific. There was was considerable of minor damage to swell the aggregate. At Michael Daly's an outbuilding was blown down, and across the street fowl house was rolled over and over. The Hartford Courant says :: The fury of the wind is to be seen from the evidences left on every hand.
 Big trees are blown down and limbs and whole tops were twisted of and carried long distances. Some of the shingles from Mir. Forbes house were picked up mile laway, and, 8 sample brought to this office has the lower end splintered and stubbed half the length of the shingle, as H 1b AdO B06Lt uSG4 k0E 6 W6O&0 70 BphG o hickory log. MN .Forbes's house was
 twisted around t6w the northwest, mov- ing bodily o4sits 6datioas about three
 inches. Stri krom the roof of the Lofs this house wees found on the place of Deacon W illiauns en Long Hill, more than
 than mile from tho scene of the disaster.
 The big oak opposita Mir. Forbes was
 blown squarely across the road and had to be chopped up Ibef9re the road could be opened for travel. ii Goodwin's grove,
 north of the Forbes place, and across the pond the cyclone played havoc with the forest trees. These are only samples of the details that might be written at length of the damage. The loss to Mir. Forbes is about $1 800, but the damage to shade trees, orchards and woodland, if footed up, would show figures much larger. It may
 be doubted if the total loss is less than SIG, 0,O0O It is piece of rare good fortune that 80 few buildings stood in the path of the cyclone, and thus greater damage, with possible loss of life, was escaped. 5','
