'A yeung friend of miDe was cured of an insatiable thirst for liquor, which had so prostrated him that he was an able to do any business. ' He was entirely cured by the nse of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that burning thirst; took; away the appe tite for liquor; made hia nerve steady, and he has remained a sober and steady mn for more than two 'years, and bss nc doeireto return to hi cups; I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it From a leading R- K Official, Chicago, III. i A FEAKFUL STORM. Wind and Rain Last Mzht The Equi noxes all Broke Loose -Damages In and Around the City - At the Sounds In the River On the Coast-46 Inches of Rain In Eleven Hoars Frightful Yelocltj of the Wind, 6 4 Miles, an Hour, Itc, &c For two days past the storm signal. has floated from the masthead here, giving no tice that windy weather was expected by the Signal Service, and last night, or this morning, rather, the expected gale burst forth and raged for a time with fearful fury. j The beginoing of the storm may be ai4 to date at 1.16 o'clock at which time thej wind was blowing from the Northeast at j the rate of 18 miles an hour. At 3:15 o'clock it had only increased to 20 miles, but was then gradually veering around to the Northwest and at 5:15 o'clock this morniDg it was blowing a terrific gale from the West, the wind registering at that hour, on the self-registering anemom eter at the Signal Office, 68 miles hour, a pressure of 23 pounds to an the square inch, which is, we believe, the most terrific velooity attained by it here at any time since the Signal Office has been established in eur midst. At about 9 o'clock last night the rain pou.ad down furiously and it rained more or less throughout the entire night. This is indicated sufficiently by the fact that at 7 o'clock; th5s morniug the rainfall recorded since 8 o'clock last night, a period ot ekven houra, was 4.6 inches, an almost unprecc dented amount for one night. Fortunately, the damages instained H and arornd the eity and, indeed, m far we can hear from, were very light and we trust that there have been no disasters at sea. j The w:nd was at first a very bad wind tor vess-slsjcaught on the coast but, as it vi jred around to the West before attaining its greatest velocity there is grornd for strong hopes that there have been no serious disasters among these who go down to the sea in ships. The following is a summary of the ' disasters, at far : we have been able to ascertain tbem: M j Messrs. Worth fc Worth's ; wl irf shed, foot of Mulberry 8tr.it, was damaged considerably. The gable end was blown off and the tin on the roof was carried to the dock at the foot of the street; a part of the tin. on their office roof was also blown eff and the entire damage to their property will amount to some $400. A large shed on the west side of the river, opposite Chestnut street, an old structure, occupied by Paterson, Down -ing & Go., as a naval store shed, was levelled with the ground. Damages about $200. - The telephone wires on Castle street, between Second and Seventh streets, j were prostrated, a number of trees having fallen across them. Damages probably 820. . i ' 1 j Mr. P. H. Hayden's harness establish raent, on Third, ! between Market and Princess streets, was crushed in the rear end by a portion of the walls of the old burnt stables oa the; corner, which had been left standing, crashing ia upn it. The rain poured in on the un protected portion and a number of fine saddles and harness, a part of the stock in store, were badly damaged. Mr. Hayden estimates his loss at $800 . On the corner of Front and Princess streets two large wimdows in Mr. Bur bank's "drug store were broken: by the gale. Sergeant Davis and efficer Wil liam Griffith, of the police force, discover ed the accident in time1 to crawl through the broken glass and save a lot of fancy articles from rum by the rain. Officer Griffith was then left there to guard the store until the proprietor came down this morning.! Damages about $15. j At the j upper end of Front street the large cupola on the Wilmington & Wei don R. R. passenger shed was blown off and some of the roofing was carried to within a few yards of Boney's Bridge, nearly a quarter of a mile distant, aad an other portion, which it required four men to lift and carry back, was blown across the ravine beneath the bridge on Front street and lodged in a private lot. The damages to the shed will amount to about 8150; i j At Messrs Colville 3c Co's steam saw mill, at tLe foet of Walnut street, every thing seemed "drowned out". So much rain water had accumulated in the flre- box and under the fly-wheel that it hd to be drained off add it was-10 o'clock before they could get up steam. The scaffolding recently put up arouDd the steeple of the First Presbyteriai Church rode out the gale 1 splendidly, n-1 a timber having been displaced . ! The steamer North Stale was tied up duriug the Kale at Messrs. Worth & Worth's wharf, very near the shed which was intare l.but'she escaped without hav ing srSered at all. The roof on the old Clarendon Iron Works building, in the lower part of the city, whieli is made of sheet iron, was started. j ' ' The roof of a hour -Jon the corner i f Tenth and Dock streets, occupied by a colored family, was blown off but fertu nalelynone of the iimates were! in jured. ! The roof of a thre tory1 jdwellirg house on DocV, bet ween Eighth aod Ninth streets, was crushed by a falling tree. J o body hurt. ! - I A small house on Dock i street, ntsr Eleventh, was completely prostrated btt its inmates managed to escape, very wit bat safe and happy. The roof of a small house on Dock, near Tenth streets, wss taken clear off and the rain poured in on a colored man and his wife who were together in I bed and who had not had time to escape. Fortunately, they were not hurt. One of the wooden ornaments around the s'eeple of St. Paul's Lutheran Church was taken off and thrown apon the roof where it broke a hole in the slating. Damage very light, probably $25. j The roof of the office at Messrs. Nor throp & Cutnming's mill, foot of Castle street, was torn up, the chimney of the office toppled over and the lumber in the yard scattered around promiscuously. Damages about $30. The roof of the Temple of Israel, cor ner Fourth and Walnut streets, was damaged but to what extent has not yet been ascertained. The shed on the wharf occupied by Messrs Willams fc Murchison, between Orange and Ann streets, was damaged by the roof being blown off, probably to the extent of $100. : The reof j over the Acid Room at the Ifavassa Guano Works, a short distance above the city, was blown off and the telephone wires between the works and the office in this city are down. 1 .Numerous stately trees have been laid low in all directions,! and fences prostrated wh ile the streets have been badly washed. The street force was at work this aornir' endeavoring to repair some of the damages to the latter. , At the Sounds, the blow wn very! se vere, but beyond the terr'ng up of trees and toppling over of fences we1 he?r of no destruction, except of one irstance at Wright8ville, where a small house occu pied by servants was crushed by a tree falling Hpon it, but without injury to the inhabitants. Numerous yachts and small j boat at Mason boro andWrightsille were capsized and filled and sunk but none were lost or 8eemto have sustained a permanent Injury. Several small vessels are reported as ashore at Smith ville and Battery Island i mi Shoals. ! I ! ! The schooner E & Powell, which was at anchor about five miles below the city and has been for some days past receiving her cargo, dragged her anchor and would probably hive driven ashore but that she was towed back into the channel this morning by the steamer Passport. .Ij j Ike British barque Kate Eons field is said to have blown ashore below. The German barque Marie, whiGh was at anchor between the Rip and the Bar, at Main Bar, taking on her cargo, is ire parted to have loet'all three masts and to have gone ashore but as tlfe wires are down between this city and Smithville full in formation is not to be had before the ar rival of the Passport here late this after noon. The Dilot boat Henry Westermann is ashore at Bild Head bat will most prob ably be gotten off with little damage The British barque Indiana is reported as ashore below. Several lighters, used lor carrying rosin and spirits turpentine over the Rip to j vessels in raiting for cargoes, are reported ashora and it is feared tha1 one or two of them may prove a total loss. i A small vessel belonging to an old and well known colored man, Henry Davis by name, who lives on Myrtle Grove Sound, and which ran between Sogar 18, 1879. 1 NO. 164 Loaf and this city, was driven ashore and it is feared will be totally lost. J The Swedish brig Th Jr ..lying at Messrs Vorth & lightning Wor h's wharf, was struck bj Und slightly injured; - her sail were also split by the wind but the dam- iges will hardly exceed $100 The German, barque Fritz von dei Lancken dragged her anchors and wet- driren from opposite, grange street as far down as Mr. Vn Bpkkelen's distilleries. Ve understand, that the Captaiu of this vessel asserts that a-Wter spout broke on his vessel and that he was at one tim ! j in water up to Lianecfc. & From all that re can learn the "stbrra centre sems to have been justi at this point. The signal wires are down on the coast and we cin . learn nothing from Onslow county. At 'Rocky Point tbt storm was ve:y severe; an immense ambunt of rain , fell and the damages t the! crops in that locality are very severe This information was brought here bj Mr. Geo. Z. French, who arrived in the city this morning. j The wires are also down on the C. O. R. W., between this city and Nort hwest but we learn from a gentleman from Laurinburg, who came n this morning, that the gale was very severe there but that the damage was confined to fences, outhouses and crops. i On the W. C. & A. R. R., the storm does j not seem to have extended a very great distance beyond the city. It rained hard at Florence but arrivals by the train this morning say that they did not find much wind until they reached Wil mington! I i These are all of the particulars we' have been able to gather up to the hour of going to press. We may be able to give more in to-morrow'a issue.
