occurred on Saturday last, which passed over por
tons Of Frankfort Lafayette, and Sparta townships,
a few miles north Of this village The cloud passed
long by nearly two miles wide, the most disastrous
and desolatilg effect marked its track Property,
crops, fruit, &C., have been destroyed scarcely less
in value than 800 OOO and possibly the damage sus-
tanned may greatly exceed this Its effects may
be judged when we say that the entire corn crops,
cat crops, hay and potatoe felis, are completely
destroyed, for the entire distance, commencing az
