The wind storm Of Sunday was de-
structiye TO an extent here. While all Of |
the dwellings, as well as the cottages |
along the shore, stood the blow very well, /
only minor damages such as blowing off |
shingles from the roofs Of some Of the
houses and forcing doors and windows
in some Of the outbuildings. which can
be adjusted without much expense to the
owners. The women folk had the more
serious time 10 keep their rooms closed
in order to keep out the sand and dirt
that were blewn in great quantities.
around and about their homes Taking
the day all through, from early morning
until after night, the velocity Of the
wind was Unprecedented at this place
for such a long duration. But we are
glad that nothing Of a serious nature
happened from its effects 10 persons or
property.
The steamer Frederica started on her
regular trips for the season on Monday
Of this week. She will be detained in
the city perhaps a week after she has
made few trips where she will be haul
ed out on the ways to have some needed
repairs made 10 her hull or bottom. Her
appearance al our wharf was hailed as
harbinger Of spring, especially when we
'aw the many teams going with the
Dads Of freight 10 ship on her would
emind US that the busy season was
oming and close at hand. The boat was
oaded from stem 10 stern when she left
or the city. and at the same time she
ould only take about one-third Of the
reight that was stored in their freight
euse at this place and it will take sew
rad trips for her to catch up.
