Terrible Tornado in Illinois.

On the afternoon of the 2Gth of May
last, most terrific tornado visited a pOr,
ton Of Morgan county, ILL.,, carrying with
property. 1t made its appearance in the
southeast, seeming at first about as large
as mans head, growing in size as it ap-
preached the earth and increasing in vic.
lence. The full extent Of the damage
done is not yet aScertained. Twelve per-
sons are known TO have been killed, and
nearly fifty seriously injured, some Of whom
cannot recover. The hurricane lasted
about six minutes, and was attended with
very little rain at the time, though imme.
diately after it had passed over, the whole
country was deluged. The violence of the
tornado may be inferred from the circum-
stance that q stone weighing three pounds
was raised from the ground and carried
twenty yards, passing through a window
four feet from the floor. But even more
wonderful feats than this were performed
by the wind. On Mr.. Joseph Fry's place,
everything above ground was torn into
shreds, house, barn, furniture, fences, ETC.,
etc. Fifteen horses were instantly killed,
together with seventy hogs and several
head of cattle The fences were scattered
for miles, wagons blown to splinters, spokes
wrenched from the wheels, and even the
tires bent. A windmill was carried over
four hundred yards, the small end fore
most, with pumps, pipes, etc. A horse
was found in the neighborhood dead with
a fence rail run lengthwise through his
sides, leaving both ends visible.
The house of man named Mcdonald
was completely riddled, not ten feet square
remaining, yet proVidentially himself, wife
aud children, who were at home at the
time, were not killed, though they all sus-
tanned some bruises The floor and parti-
tion of a schoo-room, twenty by thirty
feet, were carried away with heavy timber
and all The pieces could not be found with
in two miles of the place where they had
stood.
1t is said that there is not a spot ten
feet in circumference, within the limits of
the tornado, which is not stuck with
planks, rails and timber, so tightly, as not
TO be easily extricated. A Mi. Barrows
lost out of one hundred and fifty hogs one
hundred and ten.
