Perhaps the most awful tornado that ever occurred in New England took place on Sunday evening last week, extending front Croydon South-easterly through the towns of Wendell, New London Sutton, and Warner. A violentstorm of wind and hall was indeed felt in many other towns, but the ravages, so far as we have ascertained, are confined in throe above-men tioned. About six o'clock, after an extremely fine and warm day, a dark cloud was observed to rise rapidly in the north and north-west, and passing in a south-easterly direction, illumined in its course by incessant flashes of the most vivid lightning.— There was a most terrifying commotion in the cloud itself; and its appearance gave notice that irresistible power and desolation were its attendants. Few, however, apprehended the danger that was threatening, or that their dwellings, which had long withstood the fury of the tempest, were to be swept away like leaves by the wind of autumn. In Cornish and Croydon, considerable injury was dens. The I house of Deacon Cooper, of Croydon, was much injured; his barn and its contents entirely blown away. Pasdng on in a di rection E.S.E. in its progress collecting to a store narrow com pass its force, it kept its track along the low lands, till it came to the farm and buildings of a Mr. Harvey Huntoon, in Wendell, about 80 rods from the borders of the Sunapee Lake. The people in the house, right in number, were frightened by the appearance of the cloud. Soon they saw the air before it filled with birds and broken limbs of trees. In an instant the house and two barns were prostrated to the ground. ' A side of the house fell upon Mr. H. and his wife, who were standing in the kitchen.—The next instant it was blown off and dashed to pieces. The woman was carried across the field with the current. A Mrs. Wheeler, who, with her husband and child, were then livicg in the house, had taken her child and fled to the cellar. Mr. Wheeler found himself in the cellar covered with timber and bricks, and much injured. A child, eloven months old, was sleeping upon a bed in the west part of the house ; the gown which it wore was soon after found in the water on the shore of the Lake, one hundred and fifty rods front the house, and we leant that on Wednesday following the mangled body of the child was found an the west shore of the Lake, where it had floated by the waves. Though the sun was an hour above the horizon, yet it was as dark as midnight. The air was filled with leaves, fragments of trees, and gravel. The bedstead on which the child lay was found in the woods, eighty rods from the house northerly, and out of the general track'of the wind. The bed and bedding have not yet been found. A number of bricks were blown more than one hundred rods from the house; large pieces of timber belonging to the house and barns, some seven and eight inches square, and twelve feet long, were carried 80 and 90 rods; a pair of cart wheels were separated from the body and spire,car ried about sixty rods, and dashed to pieces ; a large iron pot was blown upwards of seven rods; nearly all the trees of a mid dling-sized orchard were blown down, many of them torn up and carried from 70 to 100 rods in the woods—casks, furniture, clothing, and dead fowls, were found at a much greater dieence. —The only furniture found near the house was a kitchen chair. A bureau was blown across the lake, two miles wide at that place, and, excepting the drawers was found half a mile beyond the lake, the whole distance being two miles and three quartere ! From the buildings the land rises about one hundred feet in the distance of fifty rods, then descends to the lake. A door-post of the barn, of beech, thirteen feet long, eight by twelve inches square, was blown through the air up this rising ground 44 rods. A large hemlock log, sixty feet in • length, and three feet in diameter at the butt, and nearly two at the top, was moved from its bed, where it had lain eight or ten years, and carried by the wind,ap hill and over two large rocks seventeen inches above the ground, situated about six feet front where it lay, to the distance of six rods. The rise of land in this distance is found to be ten feet six inches. It struck a ruck, which breaking it in two, stopped its progress. A piece of a wood, heavily timbered, 100 rods east, of 40 acres, was en tirely prostrated ; not a whole tree is standing on any part of it. A horse was blown up the rise beforetnentioned 40 rods, and so injured as to make it necessary to kill hint. No human lives were lost, excepting that of the child. All the other seven per sons, however, were much injured, and some of them very Ee lverely. A house and barn belonging to Mr. Isaac Eastntart were much shattered, but not entirely ruined. The width of the tornado in Wendell is thought to have been half a mile. From Wendell the hurricane passed across the lake in a most sublime and terrific pyramidical column to New London, where the destruction of buildings and property is represented to have bean the greatest; but we have not heard of any deaths at that 1 isiace, nor have we any particulars trent that town sufficiently minute to justify a detail. Saturday, with several Gentlemen from Concord, Hopington, and Warner, we visited the ruins in the late-mentioned town, near the Keersage Mountain, in that part formerly called the Gore. No person car 4 conceive, without visiting the spot, the 1 'terrors of that instant ; it was but an instant when all was over— ' whm house, barns, &c. were all lifted from the earth, into the • bosom of the whirlwiesl, and anon dashed into aehousaud pieces. i No language can give an adequate representation of even the present scene, much less of that terrible wrath of the elements, which, for a few seconds, was felt by the sufferers. We stood amidst the ruins almost discrediting our own vision, but awfully impressed with the thought that the place was one where• the hand of Ostmearrees bad been put down in anger, to teach man his impotence, in a manner that should be understood and re membered. It can hardyy be said, however, that we stood among the ruins, for most of them had been carried beyond our bight. A few large stones remaining in their places, and others strewed on each side for several feet, indicated where a stone wall had stood ; a few fragments of timber, and a small quantity of hay, which had since been gathered together, denoted the spot where stood the bares; a few timbers and bricks, and at one place the floor, remained, of what composed the dwellings of the two Se varys • and the feathers here and there discovered in the dust* shew:d that the very fowls of heaven, that hail often sported with the clouds, could not fly the swift destrection. From the mountain there is a rapid descent into the Gore. in the alley formed between the mountain and a high bill S.K. before it, stood seven dwelling-houses, comprising all the habitations in that part of the Gore. The tornado came over the mountain in the direction of the buildings, and first struck the barn of Mr. Wm. Harwood, carrying it away ; passing onward, it it jured the houses of Messrs. F. Goodwin, J. Ferrin, and A. Watkins, completely destroying Perrin's barn and unroofing Watkins's. Neat in the direction of the wind stood the dwehing at 1). Savary, of white nothing remains hat a part of the floor and bricks. Aeprehond ing a wind, Mr. flamed Savary, aged 72 years the father uf the proprietor of the buildings, who was himsel f absent, won up stairs to fasten down a window. The women started to his as sistance, when, as they represent, the house seemed to whirl, and instantly rose above their heads, while what was left behind, timbers, bricks, &c. almost literally buried six of the family in the ruins. The body of the aged Samuel Savary was found at the distance of six rods Prom the house, his brains dashed oute against a stone. Elisabeth, his wife, was very much injured by the falling timbers, which fell across her. Mary, the wife of Daa niel Savary, was severely bruised on her head, arms, and breast, and an infant which she held in her arms, was killed. The thrte children were much bruised, but bad sufficiently recovered to tell us their artless tale, and shew the traces of the storm. This family were extricated by the assistance of the elder Mrs. Sa vary, who, though now scarcely able to move, had the most surprising strength in removing the timbers and bricks, beneath which could be faintly beard the cries of the sufferers. The house of Mr. Hobert Savary was also demolished. Mrs. Savary says, she anticipated a shower, and went into a bed-room to take up a child, and was conscious of nothing more, till she found herself confined among the timbers greatly bruised, but the child unhurt—her husband buried altogether in the bricks, with the exception of his head ; and two of their children com pletely covered up in splinters and rubbish. This family, con sisting of eight persons, were all wounded, but none dangerously. Mr. John Palmer, who lives up a rise, distant half a mile, and was out at the door, saw the cloud coming over the mountain, in shape, as he represents, like a tunnel, the air filled with leaves, limbs of trees, Etc. He immediately attempted ' to enter the door, but was caught by the arm ; at that instant the breast-work and chimney gave way, and a part of the frame bu ried Mrs. P. who was attempting to force open the door for her husband, under the bricks and timber. Mrs. P. was much hurt; the remainder of the family not materially injured. The wind, in passing from the Savary 's to Palmer's, tore up everything in its course, throwing splinters of the buildings, pieces of furniture, crockery, &c. in every direction fur a mile; ten hives of bees were destroyed ; the legs, wings, and heads of fowls were to be seen lying about ; several acres of corn and potatoes adjacent to the buildings, were swept off clean, not leaving an ear, save at some distance a few in heaps ; stones half buried i n earth were overturned, and we saw one that would weigh 5001bs. moved several feet ; a hemlock log 60 feet in length, half buried in the earth, was taken from its bed and carried six rods forward, while a knot front tit.• same log was carried 15 paces back, and was driven with great force two feet under the turf; a bridge, covered with large oaks, split in the middle, was torn up, an d the timbers strewed for a quarter of a mile in a southerly direction. From these dwellings it Rased over the hill two miles and a half, and down, perhaps, 100 feet, where it swept off all the buildings of Mr. P. Flanders, killing a Miss Anna Richailson and an-Infant child. All the others, seven in number, were wounded, some badly, and Mr. F. so severely, that until a day or two his life was despaired of. They informed us that no sound of wind was heard, although some might have observed the cloud, until the crash of the buildings took place, and then all was over in an instant. The buildings of Deac. Joseph True, situated in a corner of Salisbury, were next swept away. Mr. T. and his father-in-law, a Mr. Jones, who, with his wife, were there on a visit, being at the door, saw the whirlwind approach, and had just time to hide themselves, one under his shop a few paces distant, and the other down by a pile of wood ; when the buildings were whirled aloft and stripped into splinters, with the exception of some heavy sticks of timber, one of which plunged endways into the ground two feet, by the side of Jones lying by the wood, and the other end leaning upon the pile, protecting him from other sticks which fell across. Neither Jones nor True were hurt; and by their exertions Mrs. True and three or four children were dug out from beneath the brick*, where they were actually buried more than a foot. The oven had just been heated, and the bricks were so hot, that in removing them from his children Mr. True had his fingers burnt to the bone. Mrs. 'l'. and several of the family were badly burnt, and one child is so disfigured as hardly to be known. The youngest child, an infant seven weeks old, was found at the distance of 100 feet, under the bottom of a sleigh, the top of which cannot be found. The amazing power of the wind may be faintly imagined from the evidences now to be seen. In one place, near Deac. True's, a hemlock log 21, feet through and 36 feet long, and nearly half buried in the earth, was moved one or two rods. At another place two hemlock logs, of the same size with the other, one 65 feet long, and the other about 40, lying across each other, were moved about is feet, and left in the same situation as before. The entire top of one of the chieulies was carried ten rods, and left the bricks to g, ill:A- on one spot. Mr. True saw a tree whirling perpendicu larly in the air to an immense height. An elm-tree, standing a little south of Savory's, mea*uriag 17 inches diameter, whose enormous roots refused to yield, and being too tough to break, was twisted round like a withe; and a few ash-tree:, standing at the foot of the Lill, were stripped of bark and limbs, and split literally into basket-stuff !.. The tornado then passed into Warner again, tearing down a barn, and passing over a pond, the waters of which seemed to be drawn up in its centre, terminating its ravages in this quarter in the woods of Boscawen. The whirlwind commenced as far back as Lake Champlain authentic information reaches no further than Croydon-1; em whence it extended in the direction stated, in shape like an in. verted cone, or, as some represent, more like a trumpet Ear:: g at the top, alternately rising and falling , sometime s esic.divg beyond sight iu the Ikavens; its width varied from half tt to six rods, apparently narrowing its sphere as it passed onward. Its appear:owe must have been most awful at Ipassede ndell, aid iu violence the greatest there and at New London. The above facts, although they partake of the marvellous, are literally true. (If the destruction iu Wendell, &c. we had the relation iota a Gentleman of high reputation in Newport, whose testimony was corroborated by a dozen itidividuals who visited. Wendell with him the day following the event. What relates to Warner and the destruction on the east side of the Keersage mountain, we know to be true, having ourselves visited the spot. We there saw the stone against which the unfcrtunate Savary was crushed—the places from whence we% dug the children of True and Savary—the children themselves mangled and men— the mothers mourning the loss of i.n aged hutband and an infant child. We witnessed the awe of the irr.aatrs of these distressed families. We stood at the foot of th:, nv untain, and surveyed the track of the whirlwind ; it appeared as if a rushing torrent had poured down the mountain for many days, the e..rth heirs torn up, the grass withered, and mtLing fri?sh and living to Le seen in the path of desolation. May Gon in mercy avert such another catastrophe! The families are now destitute—nothing remains but the soil of their little property. . GAS LIGHT AND COICP.
