DESTRUCTIVE STORMS. 



Eastern New England towns have 

 suffered much damage from the recent 

 furious rain storms often accompanied 

 by lightning and occasionally by hail 

 stones. On the afternoon of July 3 a 

 storm of exceptional violence visited 

 Eastern Massachusetts. C. J. McGregor 

 had over 300 lights of glass broken by 

 the hail. All florists in Lynn sustained 

 more or less damage, William Miller's 

 range having much broken glass. At 

 Concord, N. H., two days previous. 

 Donald McLeod had his houses badly 

 wrecked by hail stones, Colby's green- 



houses are also reported as suffering 

 considerably from broken glass. Field 

 crops were laid waste, garden shrubs 

 and flowers beaten to pieces and trees 

 uprooted in many places.
