 aded or five to fifteen hours late. Advices from other parss of the State tell of fearful ! suffering in the lumber camps. Several
 sheds have been unroofed by the storm and
 if it does not abate soon it is probable a great deal of damage will be done. Michael Ryan, who lives in the northern part of the
 shire, last evening left for West Fairlee. This I morning the horse and sleigh were found at 1 Union Village, but no trace of either Ryan or l the robes could be found.
