The worst rain and wind storm that
ever visited Manchester occurred, says
the Journal, about three o'clock Mon
day afternoon. Fortunately no one was
injured and no very great amount #
damage was done, thou h nearly every
one suffered more or less by loss OF
chimneys, blinds, windows, and having
furniture wet. The worst damage was
at Burr and Burton Seminary. The Gu
pola was blown entirely off and the roof
and one side of wood addition was des-
tr0yed. A portion of the roof to the
principals residence was also blown off,
and his furniture and goods were badly
damaged by the water which came down
in torrents. The small spire to the Con-
gregational church was blown off, but
the main one remained firm. Several
shade trees were blown down and the
street presented strange appearance
after the storm, being filled with trees
and branches. One of the large elms
suffered severely by losing large branch
es. Most places have shade trees
enough left, so the damage in this re-
spect was not large. The storm lasted
only a short time and the work of clean
ing up ard repairing damage was begun
at once, and except at the Seminary and
church, day or two will serve to re-
move nearly every trace of the storm.
Heavy thunder and hail accompanied
the storm and it came near to being
a veritable Western cyclone, but every.
one is thankful that it came short OF
that.
