The wildest wind storm that ever passed over this country was experienced on Good Friday, when numberless barns were unroofed and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage done through- out the province. In this imuicdiate vicinity many barns were unroofed, trees blown down, fences levelled and thrown across the road, etc. In the village, however, little serious damage was done beyond the levelling of fences and some small buildings, The weather vane on the Methodist church was blown down. A chimney on Dr. Murray's woodshed was blown over and fell through the roof, dropping within two feet of ;i young woman who happened to be in the wood- shed at the timo. Among thoso who had barns unroofed in the surrounding country were : W. Sharp, W. Simmons, Jas. Stafford, Mark Stewart, Archie Stewart, Alex. McRae, John Muir, John McMillan, MM. T. McArtriur, Frank Moore, John Wright and T. Bannon. Several driving sheds were also destroyed, and in some instances farm implements that were stored in the buildings were destroyed. Among these Mr. John Pedlar will be a heavy loser. Altogether in this immediate vicinity the damage will mount well up into the thousands.
