18 cows that were huddled under it, In
Waterville, July 18th, hail stones as large
as robins eggs fell in various portions of
the city, while in other places only the rain
fell The worst of the storm appeared to be
in the vicinity of Boutelle avenue The
hail broke so squares of glass in the Mitch
ell greenhouse, blew the smoke-stack over,
and did considerable damage to gardens.
Branches were torn from trees and the
ground was strewn with the debris. On
Iiconic street teams passing Immediately
after the storm had great deal of difficulty
in making their way before the branches
and limbs had been cleared away.
