The value of observations near the border of the gale, and 
through its whole barometrical period, may justify this last 
ital. No rain was noticed at New York, on the night of the 
rec 
6th, but at Jamaica, L. I., eleven miles east, the rain-gauge showed 
0:06 in., which probably marks the boundary of rain on this side 
of the gale. At Goshen, N. Y., and other places in the great 
valley of the Blue Ridge, which ranges about forty miles N. W. 
of New York city, the weather continued “ fair” during both the 
6th and 7th of October, winds chiefly northeasterly.
