A WATERS Pour ON THE PRAInIE.--One of
the most fearful calamities that has ever han.
pened occurred in the vicinity Of Town
City on the night OF the cath ultimo. In a
few moments the whole horizon became
pitchy black, and the most vivid lightning
darted athwart the sky. A terrible thunder
storm then came up. While yer il was rag
ing fearfally. the sky suddenly appeared IN.
clouded in the east for space several de-
grees in width.
Many who we're watching from their win.
dows the raging of the storm, discovered,
ind'stinctly at first. the rapid approach Of an
immense water-spout. The phenomenon
was SO unusual that the attention OF hundreds
was drawn to it. The appearance of the
huge volume OF water as il reached from
earth to sky, swaying to and fro like rope
hung IN the wind, was exceedingly grand.
The water-spout remained in sight nearly
hfteen minutes, when the sky becoming OBJ
scured, il was lost sight Of. The storm
soon passed over. and all waited anxiousIy
for news from the prairie.
Scarcely an hour elapsed before news was
brought that Jesse Berry, a member Of our
Common Council. had been killed in a barn
which was thrown down BY the yiolens. of
fhe wind and water. The next express
brought the information that eight persons,
residing in various places near town, had
been killed. aud others had their arms and
legs broken.
The water. spout seems TO have been thirty
20 forty feet IN diameter. and TO have des-
troyed large amount Of property. Its ex-
tent was frnm seven TO ten miles, and il is
said to have travelled with great rapidity.
In one instance. barn OF Mr.. Berry's, lately
built at cost Of OIL ZOO. was taken from its
foundation. carried some three hundred
yards. thrown down and crushed into thou
sand fragments. child OF Mr.. Walsh was
taken up and carried nearly five hundred
yards. thrown into slough. but strange to
say escaped with lis life. The spout appear
ed like an immense funnel, and Il seemed
very near, for the whirl and sparkle Of the
water could be plainly seen.
