suggests that in the absence of any

One Of the most fearful and destructive
storms experienced for years Oh the northern
Atlantic Coast began on Thursday morning DC
tober %, and lasted until Friday night The
amount Of damage TO shipping aud other prop
erty is incglculabie at the present writing.
The gale came from the sea aud brought with
il a binding rain, which fell Increasingly for
over "A hours. The waves that piled In along
the Jersey Coast aud Long Island have hard 3
ever before been equaled. Vessels were stranded
on the coast OF New Jersey; buildings were
unroofed aud railroads washed out The waves
tore away bukheads AS though they were made
Of dry sand Some Of the towns aud villages
were inundated, owing TO the rise Of the tide
consequent Of the wind blowing inshore. The
storm reached as far south rs the North Caro-
lima Coast and considerable damage was done
ia the Chesapeake Bay. IL is not known how
many lives were lost or what damage was done
by the gale aud several days will elapse before
accurate estimate be made.
