An Extraordinary story.


TERRIFIC AND DISASTROUS TORNADO We
have an extra from the Dallas Herald, dated May
9th, giving full particulars of a terrible Storm
The storm commenced about an hour BY sun,
within mile of Cedar Hill. Two clouds were
seen to come together at that point, one from the
north and the other from the south, and engaged
in an angry contest for the mastery. Neither
being able to gain the asoendancy, they became
blended into terrific whirlwnd, which descend
ed with such force and violence as to involve the
earth in darkness, literally poughing up the
ground and picketing it with fragments of bro
ken timbers. The Herald says: "Fenoe rails
were broken and torn into splnters; wagoniyres
broken and twisted into fantastic shapes; wheels
torn to pieoss, and the axlas twisted or broken
off. Large new ploughs were carried half mile
broken into fragments; everything top of the
ground blown away, and posts and timbers fixed
to It, torn up and blown away or torn to pieces.
Even the grass on the prairie shorn off as
with fire or scythe.
The fury of the storm, as it approached Cedar
Hill, was first severely felt at Mr.. Roper, whose
house was unroofed 1t then swept away the
residence of VIM. c. Hart, at Cedar Hill ,injurng
him severely. The dwelling and storehouse of
Mr.. Berry was dashed TO pieces. Mr.. Berry aud
Henderson Hart took refuge in Berry's house
just in time to be in it when it was dashed to pie
ces. The very foundations of these buildings
were removed; and the foundation timbers and
the mutila,ed bodies of the dead were scattered
about in every direction. All the goods in the
store, except "a few very heavy articles, we've
blown entirely away A piece of silk. doubtless
from the store, found the next day in the
neghborhood of Cedar Spring. on this side of the
river twenty miles from Cedar Hill. A hat box
containing one hat, fell the next day on the prem
iscs of Mr.. Tucker near White Rock creek, 25
miles from the place: and another hat has been
found on Rowett's creekupwards of 30 miles
Oft. Other articles have been found nearer the
scene of disaster. In Berry's family five per-
sons were kiled-Mr. Berry. his wife, child, Mr.,
Dickson, clerkn the store. and a negro woman.
None OF the family are left to mourn Bprry's
skull was broken and his brains scattered on the
ground. Mrs. Berry's face and body were fright

II has taken but a short time for the Demo-
cratic party to illustrate the dupliciiy with which
the canvass for the Presidency is TO be conducted.
One day platform is adopted by the National
convention.in which the Kansas bill is made the
leading issue. and the next day fourteen ballots
are taken, in which the united votes OF the two
men tpieroe and DouglasI most identified with
that measure but little exceed the vote OF Mr..
Buchanan, who bad nothing TO do with the con-
troyersy, who was not ia the fight, and whose
sentiments respecting the question were not
known till the law passed. The explana-
ton Of this is found in the following article from
the Cincinnati Gazette. paper printed at the
scene Of the convention and devoted to the anti
Kansas interest:
aopinions as to the nomination are as various, al
,,oe, a. The delegates are numerous BucuANAs
mon last night were, or affected 10 be- certain OF
his nomination. Some protested to think that he
would be sominated on the second, others on the
third votn: while the extremely sangune believed
that he would be nominated by acclamation. We
think on our part that BUCHANAN has gained strength
within few weeks, and since the delegates be-
gan to assemble here. The infamous Outrage upon
Mr. SUMNER aud the infamous proceedings OF the
Border Rufans IN Kansas have created such an eX-
element in the North, that the politicians see that
without they take up some man like Mr.. BuenANAN,

AvisittO SANTA Aunn.

A correspondent of the N Orleans Delta in New
Grenada thus notices visit paid by him to the ex
Dictator of Mexico:
IA two hours charming ride led us to Turbaco,
where our friends, who were to part from US, had
ordered a sumptuous farewell breakfast. This vii
lage situated distance, of about leagues from
Cbarthagena, is the present residence of General
Santa Anna, the ex-Dictator of M exico.
After having done full Justice to the delicious
viands spread before us by our friends, with an
ardor and gusfo which our morning jaunt sutici
emily explains, dozen of us lighted our cigars
and set out to visit tho man who, at one time, ex-
eroised so considerable an influence over the af-
fairs of Mexico. His house is largo, strong,
stone building, in the old Spanish style of a,chi-
lecture. with u colonnade, large court, and gar
den Its appearance is very beautiful, and forms
u striking contrast with the humble cottages in,
habted by the wretehed population among whom
Santa Anna resides.
I'VE were introduced in a large parlor RAINING
through the whole front of the house, whilst the
General was being appraised of our arrival. The
walls of this apartment are papered in elegant
French style, and decorated with some fine en-
cravings. The parlor has two doors fronting on
the street. and two others leading to ward smi
ling with verdure. Around the room may be seen
two or three sofas, dozen of mahogany chairs
with side table. centre table, with exquisitely-
wrought flower vases. The ensemble of this fur
niture has an appearance of calm simplicity, and
breathes a perfume of tropical comforts which
strikes and pleases at the same time

expected to see him of course, much altered; ; but
