Meteorological Observation

On Monday, March 1, 1880, a strong breeze from the S. W., marked at 1 o'clock P.M. in meteorological observation, as equal to 15 miles per hour, prevailed, after which the force of the wind rapidly increased, shifting to W.N.W. until about 2 o'clock when it became a perfect hurricane, accompanied by a storm of snow and sleet. The velocity of the wind must have been betwixt 40 and 50 miles per hour, and partly from heavy black clouds covering the sky, and partly from the dense sheet of snow which was drifting along, everything became obscured.
