PETERSFIELD
THE HURRICANE—From the quarterly return of the Registrar General we copy this paragraph; at Petersfield on August 25th a violent hurricane struck a house close to the station, ripped the lead off the roof, forced the slates to the distance of half-an-inch, completely unroofed a stable and cowshed, and carried part of the roof, weighing at least one cwt., across the road 30 yards. This tornado was local and confined to that part, and did no further damage.
