 1 The wind was blowing at maxi mum gait of 40 miles an hour yester- day and during, the preceding night it moved buildings, broke boats from moorings, tore branches from trees and
 cut up high jinks in general. A small
 storehouse which had been moved, was
 standing on rollers at the wharf of F.
 Mansfield & Sons, and the gale during l the night moved the structure over the | line on the property of Ludington & Sons. One of Captain Ami Ludingtons s neighbors in joking about this freak of

 was ready to sail for Narragansett bay also delayed her departure. It was a
 rough day out on the sound but fortu- nately there are not many boats at
 present catching oysters there.
