Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

A Baltimore paper of Tuesday last contains the following account of the late storm:

"On Wednesday night last, we were visited with one of the severest equinoxial storms that has happened here within the remembrance of the oldest inhabitants. It continued till Thursday evening without intermission, attended, at times, with thunder and lightning, and the most violent incessant torrents of rain. About 9 o'clock, the storm abated, when a more alarming, terrifying scene of distress and horror began to appear. The waters in Jones's Falls, being risen to a very unusual height, rushed down with great violence, spreading high above their banks, and "sweeping the herds and flocks." All the mill-works, and fences along its margin, several houses, and all the bridges, in a few minutes, were carried away. The new Dutch presbyterian meeting house an elegant, valuable building, nearly finished, which stood at the east end of Market-street, on the bank of the falls, was nearly destroyed, the waters having swelled so high as to sap the foundation, which caused one half of the building, fronting the water, to tumble down--it has a melancholy appearance. A large brick-house, building on the west side of the marsh, between the upper and middle bridges, was almost destroyed. A handsome two story dwelling house, at one corner of Gay-street bridge, was completely buoyed up, carried across the street, and finally into the falls, where it was crushed to pieces, and floated away. Another house, near the same bridge, was removed a few yards, but fortunately afterwards made a stand, and repelled the flood. A house near the same, wherein was a quantity of salt, was entirely destroyed; and a number of others, built on the marsh, were in the utmost danger; in short, all the dwelling and store-houses, within its reach, together with that part of Market street newly paved, suffered amazingly. Some families finding themselves in danger, were removed with great difficulty. Several human bodies have been found, and others are still missing. The loss suffered by the inhabitants of Baltimore town, and the adjacent country for 25 miles round, by the late storm, is calculated at £100,000."
