TERRIBLE HURRICANE IN lILINOlS.--On oatuF-
day June 18th, the hurricane already noticed
made dreadful ravages at Pana, Illinois. The
sufferings were SO great that meeting of citi-
zens was held on the following Tuesday for the
relief of the distressed A committee was ap-
pointed who made the following report:
Our town was visited on Saturday at two o.
clock, p. m. by most terrific tornado, which
has laid our village in ruin almost complete.
The scene beggars all attempt at description.
Men, women and children were hurled, pel-mell,
with their dwellings, with appalling screams,
mingled with prayers, all in momentary expecta-
tion of death which seemed inevitable. The
storm lasted twelve minutes, and then subsided
into a general calm. The scene which followed
was heart-rending. Young and old men and
women and children crawled forth from ruined
dwellings on every hand, calling in agoniZing
tones for the restoration to them of dear ones
believed to be lost. Mothers wailng for their
children, fathers running wildly bther and thi-
ther frantic with grief-some nearly denuded of
clotbing-the garments Of all drenched with rain,
and many one marked with blood. Some found
kindred mangcd and dead, others recovered
friends with arms and legs broken, or bruised
and helpless. Thirty three dwellings were de-
stroyed, and as many families rendered homeless
The Beckwith House, kept by S. E. johnson, was
thrown open for the reception Of the sufferers.
The house being large and spacious, gave pro-
lection to all who were not provided for by cti-
zens whose houses escaped the fury Of the lorna
do. There is not house, however, in the place
that has not suffered more or less damage
1t may be well to report that our town is but
year old, with but little cash capital OF
the sufferers, many are left entirely destitute
thcy have lost their all, and unless secure aid
from abroad, many must suffer for the necessaries
of life.
