One of the severest hail storms ever
known visited this vicinity Tuesday
afternoon. 1t was a regular NOR
wester." the rain and hale coming
down with great force. breaking win
dow-panes in many houses and up
roofing and tearing down trees and
stripping branches generally. The
breaking of glass was from one or two
lights to over twenty in a single
house. Thirty-seven panes were brok-
en- in the Catholic church and over
forty in the hide house. The village
looked after the storm as if young
cyclone had struck it, the streets be
ing strewn with trees and branches.
Several of the trees broken were quite
large, one being at least twenty inches
in diameter and others from six to
twelve inches. One Of Fitchs' elms
succumbed to the elements. The
storm demolished two fair-sized barns
on Geo. Wilkins back farm about two
miles from the village and also one on
the Fitch farm, and made sad havoc
with Alec LaPorte's barn in the vii
lage. The amount of damage is very
large, the farmers coming in for a
| large share of it; grass just ready to
cut has been badly lodged, while corn,
potatoes, &c, are greatly injured.
