The TORNADO AT WINDHAM, N, H.-A
correspondent of the Manchester american,
gives the following particulars of the effects of
the tornado of the 18th, in the town of Wind
ham, N. H.:
"Forest trees innumerable were broken off,
and uprooted and scattered in every direction.
One large white oak, standing near the resi-
dence of Mr.. s. Fessenden, and not less than
three feet in diameter, was made complete
wreck.
A stone weighing twenty four pounds, was
taken up and carried through the air, and
hurled against the barn of VIM Simpson A
storehouse belonging TO the same man, 20 #.
by Is feet, with ell IL by IA feet, was moved
from its foundation, turned a complete somer-
set, and left complete ruin in the road 49,
While the people were removing the wreck
from the road, large stick of timber from the
frame fell, and struck Mr.. Noyes across the
back. and injured him considerably.
The house of Mr.. r. b. jackson, situated
between Mr.. Simpsons and Mr. Fessenden's,
and little back from the road, and on con-
siderable emInence, was entirely demolished.
Nearly every article of furniture the house
contained, chairs, tables, bedsteads, sofa, &c.,
were broken to pieces and ruined, and what
is most remarkable of all, is the fact that Mr..
Jackson's wife and family were all in the
house at the time, and all escaped with their
lives. One of Mr.. Jackson's daughters had
her arm broken, and was otherwise seriously
injured. To look at the ruin, it would seem
impossible that any person could have escaped
death, placed in such a situation. The wind
played strange freaks among the trees, some
times one side of a tree would be entirely de-
stroyed, and the remainder unframed, some
times but a single branch would be taken from
Il. i'll Al. II
posite Mr.. Fessenden's, it took up an immense
quentity Of water, which was seen by Mr..
Ellenwood>in Pelham, more than two miles
distant. Another singular fact respecting the
storm here, is that'a wagon seat belonging to
Mr.. Simpson, was found in the woods quar-
ter OF a mile from the house, entirely shattered
TO pieces, and also sheet of zinc, which was
under the stove in Mr.. Jackson's house, was
found in the same woods, doubled up.

Light and Darkness" New York d. APP

This is well written domestic story purport-
ing to be from the pen of a southern lady, and to
present pictures of southern life. From an ex-
animation of its pages, we should judge that this
statement is only evidence of the shrewd aud
enterprising publishers to make the book sell in
that section. 1t is so long since the novel read
ers of the South have had access to a book from
one of their own authors that there seemed to be
necessity for something to be done in that line,
and " Lizzie Petit of Virginia, has done it for
them. However, the book is none the loss ex-

TERRIBLE STORM AT THE SOUTH 1877 LiUeS
Lost.-Neao Orleans, Aug. 16. = A terrible
storm occurred in this vicinity, on Sunday,
Rh iehl, CHI lasted all day. and also on Monday
Last Island, great summer resort, and which
our accounts represent to have been entirely
inundated. Every building on the island is
said to have been swept away, and no less
than one hundred and thirty seven lives are
reported lost.
The steamer Star, Capt, Smith, which left
here on the 9th, encountered the storm before
reaching Last Island, and became perfectly
unmanagable, and was soon after wards per-
feet wreck.
The scene among the passengers was terrific,
there being no less than $50 persons clinging
to the wrecked fragments of the vessel, each
Rnxiously waiting the arrival of some other
vessel to take them off. Whether any of this
company have been lost is not yet known,
though hopes are entertained that all were
saved, as a steamer is understood to have gone
to their relief.
Couillon Island has been submerged, and
an immense amount of property and many
lives have been lost.
The ships Bowditch and Ellerslie, also the
brig Creole, which were lying near the mouth
of the river, have all been seriously damaged
by the storm.
On the lake and river we also hear of num-
erous steamboats,, fatboats, and other craft be-
ing injured.
Nearly all the wharves at the watering pla-
ces have been inundated, and the buildings
thereon, bath houses, etc., swept away.
Altogether, the loss of property must be
very heavy, but it is impossible now to calcu-
late the amount.
The crops, it is feared, have also suffered Sc
verely.

PROSPECTS OF CHEAP FLoUR.-The wheat
crop of the country is now mostly secured.
and in excellentorder. A greater breadth Of
land was sown with wheat last fall than ever
before, and though the yield per acre win not
equal that of last years crop. the total Weld
will be much greater. The crop last wear
was good one, but in one half the northern
States it was greatly damaged by wet, and a
very considerable portion was so badly ininr-
ed as to be understandable. This wear the
crop has been secured in the best possible con-
dition. The Cincinnati price current, est.
mates the quality of wheat gathered the nres.
ent harvest as fully ten per cent. greater than
has been gathered any previous year
The same authority also states that the
quality of the new wheat crop is excellent
the grain is full and bright, aud perfectly drv
and sound. There will evidently he Ioss

there has been for several years. The Price

the injuries which the crop sustained before

In the British Islands, at last accounts, the
