| High wind |
| The near approach of March was portrayed
yesterday in swinging signs, oscillating steeples and chimneys,
fugacious tin roofs, severed limbs of trees, the outer appearance of
the fair sex who ventured out, and a general banging too of windows,
doors, &c. The steeple of the Broad Street M. E. Church was
denuded of a considerable quantity of its platy covering. Three
hundred feet of the flooring of the {Richmond
&} Petersburg railroad
bridge, with the track which rested on it, was blown into the river.
The mail train stopped on the Manchester side last evening, and
passengers were carried to Richmond in carriages across Mayo's bridge.
The trains start from the same place this morning. |
