Here, at Ballston, the hall was large as hen’s cees. and cut and smashed everything capable of ing broken, as it was driven by a gale of wind as fierce as a hurricane. It is impossible now to estimate the damage done to our grapes, straw- berries, small fruit generally, wheat, rye, etc., but it must be very great, for oak’ and other hard wood twigs and leaves were cut from the ‘Urees as Clear as by a bullet.
