The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

We hear from Hartford, in the Province of New-York, that on Monday the 5th Day of April, a remarkable Affair happened there. A tall Structure was erected the Saturday before: the front Post of which was thirty feet high; A heavy or rather Euroclydon Wind blowing at about North, crushed the whole Frame to the Ground: What is most remarkable, six Roe-Buck, that were in full Chace, at that Instant came into a Garden almost within Reach of the Top of the Post as it came to the Ground, and were so affrighted at the Catastrophe, that the Owner of the Building being present, by the Help of his Son of about 12; and a Daughter of 14 Years of age, he recovered the whole six Bucks, which he esteems as a considerable Retaliation for the Loss of his Building. (An old Maxim) 'tis an ill Wind that blows nobody any Good.
