I should observe, that this account is from memory ; you will there- 

 fore be able to estimate its value, and reject it, should more authen- 

 tic accounts reach you from this station. I have added an extract 

 from my register of the Thermometer (Fahrenheit's,) in case it should 

 be of any use. 



Memo — On the morning of the 2nd instant, about 8-30, large 

 masses of clouds formed in the N. W., and came rolling up in a S. E. 

 direction. About 9, the wind blew with considerable violence from 

 the N. W., and so darkened the air by raising the dust, that it was im- 

 possible to see across the room. In half an hour, a heavy shower of rain 

 fell ; the wind gradually subsided, and by 11 o'clock a. m., the storm 

 had cleared off. A few small trees were blown down, but I have not 

 heard of any other damage being done. Since the storm, the wind 

 has remained pretty steady at W. and N. W.
