Efectn or Iiie Storm.

Some idea Of the fury of the storm
which swept along our coast for sew
eral days of last week and the losses
caused by it may be obtained from
the reports of our correspondents
from various sections of Accomack,
but they stop very far short of the
damage done and distress occaaioned
by the storm all along our coast from
Cobb's Island, obliterated from the
map of Virginia to Franklin City so
entirely submerged, that it was prac-
ticably deserted, we are advised, by
it's inhabitants. From every inter
mediate point which we have heard
from, loss is reported either in wharf
property, boats, fencing, crops or in
some other way difficult to es innate
but amounting to thousands of dol
lars.

Schooner L A. Rose, bound from

25th and went ashore at Fishing
Point. She will probably be total
loss. Her crew was rescued by Capt.
N. B. Rich and force of the Life Saw
ing Service.
The storm here for the paste days
exceeds any in violence and length OF
duration in the memory OF our oldest
inhabitant. The distress, it has oc-
casioned and losses in property are
hard to estimate. The Island was
submerged by the tide in many
places and houses were uIturned
and porches and fences blown down
At least one third of the dwellings at
one time were surrounded by water
and persons in the lowlunds had to
seek Lafety in the highlands. The
tide at one day was from 4 to
feet on our Main st, and business OF
all kinds was suspended. The mer-
chants lost heavily in damage to
their goods and very few who owned
stock or poultry escaped without
some loss. No lives were lost during
the storm but there were many mar
row escapes. A widow named Aydel'
lotte and five small children, whose
house was surrounded by water, were
rescued after being without food OF
fuel for two days and Charles Bun
ting, wife and child, who occupied q
house on the banks of Willis shoals,
after their house was blown over and
while they were in the water break
ing over their heads, were picked up
by two men adrirt III a boat without
paddles or sails, which luckily drifted

The storms which began here Oh
Wednesday, October Goth, and culmi-
mated in a hurricane on Monday last
was accompanied by the highest tide
known here for nineteen years. The
water front of the town was entirely
submerged, the water standing siA
inches deep in the dry goods store oil
A. H. G. Mears. flooding the kitchens
and cellars of several dwellings, and
destroying the small wharves along
the creek. Besides the loss Of fowls
some damage done to the boating
and the inconvenience of the debris
left on the shore and in the streets,
no particular damage was sustained
by the town. Cedar Island was over
flowed, the kitchen OF the L. S. Sta
ton was thrown from its foundation
and the crew compelled to leave the
island for wood and water. The
surf made clean sweep of the island
and levelled it to a mere flat breadth
of sand. Up to this writing no re-
port has been received from PARA
more's, but it is probable that some
of the stock there was drowned.

The death rate for the past month has been
exceedingly heavy in and around Cranston

of the place is in any way responsible for the
excessive mortality is question which the
health officer would do well TO investigate.
The close proximity of the wells To vaults
and the presence of that utterly useless dis

may be found 10 have some connection with
several recent cases Of typhoid malaria.
