MINOR EFFECTS OF THE STORM.
We have given the more prominent
and terrible effects of this fearful storm
fiend, which in a moment, without a.
warning, destroyed so many lives and
homes, but it is not alone in tearing
buildings to shreds and scattering them
for miles around that its fearful power
was manifested. As it passed through
the grove just west of the village it
threw down the largest trees or twisted
off their tops and hurled them far away,
while in several instances trees were
left standing from which every particle
of bark was stripped, even to the small
est branches and fibres, while others
were denuded of every leaf and not a
limb broken. We saw clumps of crab
apple bushes stripped of every particle
of bark and left standing as clean and
white as though freshly pealed by some
mischievous school boy. In some
places the grass was literally beaten
into the mud rs though it had been
crushed.aby the. wheels of heavily
loaded wagon. Horses, cattle, swine
and stock of all kinds which were over
taken by the storm were dashed down
and instantly killed, and we saw, lying
in the main street of Ellison, dead
chickens from which the feathers had
been literally stripped by the wind. A
number of cedar posts, set for rail
fence, were blown down or broken off
by the sheer force of the wind. These
statements may seem exaggerated but
hundreds of witnesses can testify to
their truth.
The sufferers are in destitute con-
dition, and those charitably disposed
will do good deed in sending them
aid. Mr.. Drake, of the fremont House
in this city, has started a subscription
for them, and has already secured sew
eral hundred dollars. We trust others
will follow his example.
The storm-fiend was followed by a
heavy rain accompanied with hail,
which broke large number of win
dows and did some damage to fruit
trees.
The West has been visited by a
number of severe wind and rain storms
this year which have proved destruc-
tive, but we have not been called upon
to record anything so disastrous as the
storm of Sunday night.
