SToRM.-On Wednesday the 18th instant a
part OF this country was visited by one OF the
most violent and destructive tornadoes that nave
passed through it. The storm came from the
south west and passed in 4 north east direction;
we have not learned yet where it commenced,
nor how far it continued its destructive march.
II passed diagonally through this country, and
its rayagcs are about mile in width. 1t had
the appearance of huge volume of smoke, a
rising from tremendous fire, which, with the
vivid and continued flashes of lightning, the loud
peals of thunder, the rattling of hail, and the
crash of timber, with which it was accompanied
gave to it an awful and terrible appearance, that
baifies description 1t passed within about Sin
miles of this town, and in its destructive march,
,ore down every thing before it; hol'scs barns
fences orchards, and woods; were levellul to the
glound. The trees are prostrated in the same
m.nncr that grubbcr lays down the Srubs thai
! he has taken out. We have not heard of an,
lives being lost, nor of any oo,ious bodily injury
except in family of Mr.. Morrison, OF yellow
creek two ofwhom were in field planting CON
when the storm came on; one got his arm brole,
and the other his leg broke. 1t is said that th
dead timber stood very thick in the field, an'
that no,a single tree has been left standing
That their lives were preserved in such seem
appears to be providential.- OF the hal
stones measured eight inches in circumference
