River being down we are unable to ascertain
how far West the tornado reached and what
is the amount of loss of life and property.
At Clinton Iowa, IL commenced at balf-past
seven last evening, and although lasting but
two and a half minutes,i it caused more de-
struction of life and property than any SINH
lar storm that has ever visited this portion OF
the country. .......L-.l
The towns of Camanche, Iowa, and Al
bany Illinois, on opposite sides Of the river,
and five miles below Clinton, Iowa. were
completely demolished. In Oamanche,
