brunswick, Ca, Sept. SO.-The West In
da hurricane, which passed through
brunswick yesterday morning, commenc-
inc at O'Clock and lasting two hours,
left death and destruction in it's path.

few.

hour and was fiercer than any of pre-
vious record.

tmated in total from $225OOO to 100000. a
house to house canvass by the Evening
