10 the Public,

On the 7lh day of May inst our town
was visited by a most awful tornado, which
annihiated every building in It's track, kill
ling 81 Of our citizens, and wounding 90
others, leaving many families destitute of
every comfort and without homes.
The buildings and other property de-
stroyed is estimated at between 65 and
$4,000. The Baptist Church of this
place partook Of the calamity, in the loss
Of their house of worshp--a large and no.
bic edIiice, which cost us nearly eight
years toll, and about so 900 in money.
At meeting of the members of the
Church on Saturday last, a resolution was
passed to rebuild said Church as soon as
practicable, and the subscribers were ap-
pointed committee 70 solicit and receive
subscriptions and donations for that pur-
pose: also TO publish an address to solicit
the aid of a generous and benevolent pub
lie, and Of our Baptist brethren particulars
Iy in this work. We presume a calamity
SO fatal in its consequences to human life,
and Of such Tuinous tendency towards pro-
perty, for the size Of our town, is unpre-
cedented in the u. States. The gentIest
zephyr watts the cries Of the needy and dis.
tressed to our cars. We hear the piteous
mourning Of the afflicted, and see those
that are left without house or home, CROP
ing amid the pile Of ruins to save what is
left beneath the rubbish. Surrounded by
such scenes, the call upon the generous
impulse of our community, will prevent us
from being able TO do much in the rearing
Of our church, as well as the fact that some
OF our wealthiost mumbers have shared
largely in the loss Of operty--hence, il
will be seen, that the energies Of our
church 10 weighed down by circumstances
beyond our control.
IL we can get assistance now, many OF
the brick and other material can be saved,
from the ruins and used in rebuilding,
which Otherwise would be useless.
Now, fellow-citiZens and brethren, will
you aid us2 Small donations from you,
which you never would feel will enable
US to erect sanctuary TO our God. We
believe our citizens and our brethren have
been liberal in every good work, but the
late dispersion Of Providence has rendered
them weak and powerless, and NO appeal
to the public generally and our Baptist bre-
thren particularly, and we trust we shall
not appeal in vain. Donations and sub
scriptions for this purpose will be thank
fully received, and may be RENTED TO
them or II. n. Bingham Treasurer of the
Church

deacons Of our Churches, circulate sub
scriptionS and take up collections in this
