An INcIpENr on THE ToRNAno.-Onc OF the mos.
remarkable incidents consequent upon the late tornado
and ffeshet occurred about Saturday, on tho
road leading from Laurel to Brookvlle, Moatgomery
County. Of which the following are the particulars;
X seems that Society OF Friends had ord srec qusr
terlv meeting at Brookvlle on the sabbath succeed
ing the storm and that on the prev Day consdera-
bic nsmbers of the Society, IN many instances attend
ed by their wives and children, had started for tho
meeting. Among the parties we're MIR. George II.
Reese, Of the firm OF Messrs. Reese Bros., West
Pratt street. his father three ladies OF the family and
a servant. While passing along the load they en-
countered the full blast Of the tornado ss l. came
sweeping along in its furious, devastating course,
tearing Gp the largest white OAK trees and scattering
them 10 every direction. The escape Of the above
party seems somewhat miraculous vensabie oak,
which had braved the etorms OF many yes rs, yielded
TO the power of the wind and fell Immediately in the
rear Of the carriage, while at the same time another
was blown directly across the path OF tie horse. De-
structon seemed inevitable, yet all the hltle party
acted with singular presence OF mind Father and
son both Get % work TO contflve OF pro
ceedDg on their journey which was accomplished by
the vigorous application Of axes to the nbs OF the
Frustrated oaks and then they had 10 drive of
tie read and thread their way through the ders
woods. As other parties were on their way to the
meeting all VIC ud be compelled 10 pass over the same
road. Mr. Reese and his son, with the assistance OF
ferds quite considerably went to work and saoesed-
ed in clearing the road a. 10 admit OF the passage
of vehicles. A survey then made Of the damage
done when found that the course OF the torra
do was quite straight, and just about one hundred
yards in width. Some Of the trees measured fan sir
teea inches in diameter and there were not sss than
thirty of them which lay upon the ground within q
short distance of each other IL is stated that eaca
side of the of the tornado the trees fell 10 to-
ward each other, which can only be accounted fo on

caused BY the swiftness OF the Wild Ooe old gentle
