| A terrific gale of wind
prevailed in Richmond and Petersburg on Monday last, prostrating shade
trees, fencing, &c, and doing other damage. In Richmond the roofs
of several houses were blown off, and a portion of the Richmond &
Petersburg railroad bridge was blown down, in consequence of which our
Richmond mails have for the past two or three days been delayed for 24
hours. In Petersburg the tall and handsome steeple on Dr. Pryor's new
church on Heigh street, was blown down, and other property damaged. |
