LOUISVILLE, khy.,J June 10.
The curious phenomenon of the Water Spout
was witnessed on Sunday evening, about O'Clock
by hundreds of our fellow citizens II was
formed near the lower extremity of the Ohio
Falls. According to those who saw the for
nation, cone, in the shape of trumpet, des-
thunder cloud, and at the same time, The agita-
ted waters beneath whirled round and assembled
with spiral motion in the form Of vapor, till
they united with the cone of the cloud, when the
whole column moved rapidly and majesticaly
about mile and half up the river, where it
struck the woods in Indiana, nearly opposite to
this city, and disappeared. The whirlwind then
passed over part Of Jeffersonville, unroofing
houses and doing other damage, but struck
the river a second time, forming another water
spout, which crossed the river to the Kentucky
side and disappeared a short distance above Gel
gers Mills. On both sides OF the river, the
whirlwind's path is marked with desolation.--
