The heavy clouds which threatened
Brattleboro ON Tuesday afternoon passed
by without the heavy storm which seemec
inevitable; but it is evident that Brattle
boro was just in the edge of storm belt
and our neighbors to the south felt the full
force Of an unusually severe rain and hal
storm. At Hinsdale hail fell and tree,
were blown down, but no serious damag,

Greenfield was the greatest sufferer from
the storm in this section, the loss bein!
estimated at $4,000. Soon after O'clocl
the hail storm rolled up from the west
lasting less than five minutes, but almos
every light of glass that faced the west wa
riddled. The heaviest loss was at Hol'
Trinity church, where valuable memoria
and stained glass windows valued at 800
were ruined. With one or two exception
there was not shop in town that did no
lose several hundred panes of glass. Cut
Ter, Lyons d Field lost 800 panes, an,
Nichols Bros. Il Towle Co. lost about tn
same number Many of the stones meas
ured ten inches in circumference and sew
eral inches in diameter. Twigs and leave
were whipped from trees by the stones
and the trees look as though they had beel
. trimmed. Gardens suffered somewhat, bu
crops in general were not sufficiently ad
vanced to be injured. The heaviest par
of the fall was directly in the village. Tn
storm was one of the worst ever known i
the vicinity of Greenfield.
