Mr. and Mrs. this section of the country lias ever .•>een i S'jcLtfr nre enroute for their Ixiy ami in many ye:ir.s raged heie on S»iurd»y all day and until Sunday morning, when the temperature changed to much eulder and sjow accompanied the wind. The storm was at its climix Snturiiuy evening when pedes' rians nn the street felt dilK- culty in facing i',. The eltotric light system whs put out of business tempor- arily at 8.30 p.m. and all places <.f businebs in Fleshertnu were forced to close. The sjsteui was nut puc into operation until Monday. As a conse- quer.ce no chuich service was held Sunday night. The whofe Eugecla system wa» affected. Eighteen poles were bluwn down on the Owen Sound line and many short circuits *ere farmed. At tiniei in the village flashes would srue from the switches on the high tension lines le- sembling a fierce form of lightuiag, caused by the short, circuits; The wind was so strong over this «hule district that iniiumerablii barns were wholly or ptinially unroofc-d, trees turned up and fences leirelled to the ground. Few farms were lett without 8 ime mark cf the passing storm. Among the beavie-'t damage in this immediate vicinity we ni'ght mention : â€" The roof of the sawmill at Ceylon wss bluwn otf and the smokestack demolished. This is the property of the Durham Furniture Co. George Campbell, 4lh line wecit, had his barn blown down, three cattle killed aad three others injured. Ben Whitt's barn, west bttcW liie, which was erected the past lummcr, was unroofed. James Beatty and Gto. Liltlejubn, east back line, each had their barns unro<'fed. Mr. Stafford, near Kimbetley, had twij - l>arns unroofed. Andrew Gilchrisr, near Ceylon, had his baiu damaged to the extent uf about Bfty dollars. A loose board was lifted by the wind aiid blown endw.iya through his woodshed. No serious damage was doiiu in FleshcTton, but a portion of the roofing ou Mr. Down's garage was lifted uB'. No long distance phone inetsngcs could be sent as all wires were down. The storm was general throughout Ontario and portions of the United Stales and reached a .-speeJ of 78 miles an hour. The damage dune, throughput the conutry will reach ku enoiiu^uj figure. CEYLON Mr. Charles Chislett, of Niagaja, is visiting his fither and other fiiend.s here.
