MORE ABOUT THE STORM.


 The storm, Thursday, the 20th, was very severe. The property owners on the beach road suffered loss. The Wa ter swept over their land. and several acres of onions that had been sown on land belonging to Mir Morehouse, was covered with mud. Harry Glover had some 200 loads of manure on his land. The tide came in and scattered it ali, eith- CT in the road, on the Warehouse proper erty, or out on the sound. It will be weeks before the land will be in proper condition for working. The pier also felt the effect of the storm. The heavy tim bers that were driven near the end of the pier to make a protection, were carried away. The center of the structure is much depressed. Many yards of the ap- proach to the pier have been washed away. The small bridge near Theodore Turney's was carried off. Tine water came up in his yard and drowned brood of chickens. The tide rose over Black Rock bridge. A large tree near Albert Turney's was blown down, breaking the telegraph wires. Taking it all together i5 was the heaviest storm for years. At the mouth of the creek, ou the beach side, the sand has been washed over the meadows covering quite number of acres of salt grass. The appearance of the beach above high water mark seems greatly changed. Some effort on the part of the owners of beach property should be made to stop having the sea weed carted eff. All the bathing season, along the bathing portion, the sea drift is raked eff and deposited in other places. That was one reason why the water had such clear sweep up the road. Then there are loads of sand carted off in the spring time.
