GREAT HURRICANE IN ILLINoIs.-The Pittsield
(ll9 Democrat of the 18Th gives the following &C.
count of fearful hurricane in that region
On Wednesday evening last portion of the county
was traversed by hurricane, the most severe that
has visited us for many years. The most serious
effects were experienced near the village of Time.
about eight miles southwest Of this place MANY az
our readers viii remember large brick house some
half mile west of the village the Atlas road known
as the Howard House, The house is nov a heap
of ruins, having been blown over by the storm three
persons instantly killed. and several others badly in
jured. We have learned details Of the CATASTROPHE.
On the same night the honse of Mr. Willsey, in tie
vicinity of this place struck by lightning which
came down the stairway, demolishing the banisters
and doing much other damage, but iniuring no one
although Mrs. Willsey standing in the hall door
within six feet of the staircase.
We learn that another house was struck bv light
ming about the same time, but have not been able to
gather any reliable particulars.
The Cass County Times Of the I4th adds
About O'Clock on Wednesday evening, the 9Th
inst, terrible storm of wind passed through this
county, tearing up everything in its path 1t began
about four miles west of town and passed in dffec-
ton little north of east and passed within one mile
of town.
Considerable damage was done to the farms in the
prairie But its greatest violence was after reached
the timber. In the barrens we learn some houses
were blown to pieces, but we have heard of no one
getting seriously hurt In the barrens it blew down
blacksmith shop, and scattered tongs sledge-hanl
mers, etc, from so to 100 yards from the shop
Fortunately the storm did not pass through q
thickly settled part Of the country otherwise there
must have been great loss both Of life and property

farms tore up and blew off the standing crop of corn
