On Saturday, before mid day, it rained, accompanied by a strong wind from the south. The rain continued, while the wind became more fierce, veering a little to the west. The barometer fell quickly. At six o'clock, it had fallen to the bottom of the scale, at 27.70, at which it was never known to have stood before. In the evening the streets were almost deserted. Slates and chimney-cans were falling in almost every direction, and very few houses have escaped more or less damage. Considerable damage has been done to the roof of the Industrial Home, and two windows there were blown in. A house in Queen Street, occupied by Mr John Craig, butcher, has also suffered. In Minnigaff, it wooden byre belonging to Mrs Smith was blown over, and smashed, Three animals were in it at the time, but were got out uninjured At the farms of Kirkland, Barakirk, Baltersan, and several others, stacks of grain were blown away. The plantations have again suffered immensely, adding much the thousands of trees already uprooted.
