from its stone foundations and hurled
through the air fifteen or twenty feet, and
then torn into countless fragments and
scattered over the ground. Mr.. Warner
had perceived the approach Of the destroy

dren towards the cellar. He succeeded
in entering il with two Of the children, but
tho wife was too late and was carried away
with the other two in the ruins. Even
the basement floor of the house was torn
of. and Mr.. Warner stood exposed to the
day in his open cellar. The woman was
killed, one Of her children so badly iniur.
ed that it died the next day, and the other
escaped almost unframed. Two barns
were destroyed in the same manner as the
house, and 4 thousand other proofs given
Of the terrible power of the strange visi.

destruction it appeared to draw up from
the earth gradually, and vanished among
the clouds. 1t was Immediately succeeded
