This Mornings Hurricane.

One of the severest hurricanes we have had for some time, accompanied by heavy rains, set in about midnight, and raged

| with great fury until this afternoon, when

the wind calmed down considerably, and the storm, to extent, abated. The tirst intimation obtained here of the approach f storm was in the shape of i despatch received from the Meteorologi- al Ottice, Toronto, by Mr. Arthur New-

some

.:

U bail

bery, the agent in this city, ordering the night signalup. This order was imme- diately attended to. Although there was a slight wind, accompanied by hail and rain between nine o'clock and midnight, the torm proper did not set in until about one o'clock this morning. The wind,which kept gradually inereasingin violence until

had obtained a velocity of between forty und forty-five miles an hour,was first east-

_ shifting from south to southwest.

At midnight another despatch was sent from the Meteorological Office at Toronto, to the agent here, ordering up the hurri- cane drum, but as the wires between Sack- ville and this station were not in working order, the despatch was not received until noon toe-day—when the storm was almost

ver.

he wind continued to blow hard all the forenoon, and the tide, which was unusual- ly high, swept the heads of many of the wharves, while egg empty casks,

and other light articles were either off by the waves, or caught up by wind and dashed against the ware- houses. Flying debris made it exceeding- ly dangerous fur pedestrians to be about, ind several citizens who ventured too near the heads of the wharves received wettings and narrowly escaped going overboard.

Many of the schooners, moored in the stream, dragged their anchors. One, the William, having 180 sheep on_ board owned by Mr. Mutch, of Gallas Puint, ran against the western side of Pownal Wharf, breaking a boat hanging on her davits and straining herself in the encounter. The waves were so heavy and high that the schooner was almost thrown up on top of the wharf, and the sheep had to be re- moved from the hold as it was thought that the jolting about would kill them. A schooner coming in the harbor went on the flats off the park, but soon got off again, and a scow containing several men drifted up the East River.

A portion of the western end of the fence surrounding the jail fell in about ten o'clock this forenoon, and one of the prison- a young man named John Elworth— who was in the yard at the time, took ad- vantage of the opportunity and made his Other fences, as well as trees, etc., were blown down, and shingles and pebbles, torn from the roofs of houses, were flying about promiscously. Telephone wires were crossed in many places through- out the city.

The St. Lawrence left here for Pictou at seven o'clock this morning, and arrived at four o'clock this afternoon--all well. The Princess did not leave Summerside for Point du Chene.

The storm also raged in Summerside, but no particulars as to its results are at hand.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

- >

Sim,— The editor of the Protestant Union hasaremarkable penchant for jumping atcon- clusions. When challenged for going too far in his arraignment of the Stipendiary Magistrate, he declared that 1 was in sym- pathy with the ‘‘ illicit rum traffic ”—and, referring to my rejoinder, says it was ‘* hardly acciacental” that THE EXAMINER'S ‘* Consistency” ‘* appeared the same even- ing of the Patriot's attack on us.” I can assure Mr. Frame that ‘* Consistency” had not the remotest suspicion that any other person was writing about the matter. But, as the rev. editor very properly intimates,

there may have been a providence in it. For sometimes, you know, although men like to call these things accidents, there is

such a thing insisted upon by the clergy a ‘‘vetributive providence,” and in this sense the rey. editor, looking through his theological glasses, may have jumped to the correct conclusion that it was ‘* hardly acci- dental,” that, in the midst of his desperate attempts to take the official life of his vic- tim, both the dailies, ‘* the same evening,” should suumon him before the tribunal of a just and Christian public sentiment. ConsISTENCY.

as

The Government Pond. Siz,—The old adage, ‘‘Put a beggar on herseback and he will ride to the devil,” is being verified here of late. A few months

| ago the road to Victoria Park by the sea-

shore, was closed to the public, and now some crank in connection with the Board of Health, is determined to rob us of the privilege of skating on Government Pond, by having the waters turned off on the plea of health. Why, Sir, anyone but an idiot would surely know that the coming and going of the tide has no mvre effect in wash- ing the bottom of the pond at this time = of the year than it has of washing the muddled bwaias of some of dur City Councillors. , ate.,
