II is almost impossible to detail the loss of
life and property caused by the tornado Of
Monday afternoon. From every point Of the
compass news have reached US Of the work
Of destruction, which seems TO have been
far more terrible than could have been inn
agined, judging from that which occurred in
our Immediate vicinity Minor details, there
fore, we omit, and simply give general
summary.
f-,s., DAMAGH IN THE SUBURBS. grsauf
The entire roof of the southern wing of the
new Lunatic Asylum at Carthage, was car
ried away, together with that of the gas
house and one of the female wards. The in
terror was then left open, and the carpets
floors, main stairway, and the shrubbery in
the yards were injured to such an extent that
$4,000 will not cover the loss.
One side of the Episcopalian Church at
Walnut Hills was blown out several houses
were unroofed; number Of trees blown
down, and the boarding-house connected
with Lane Seminary was considerably dam
aged.
The storm in the neighborhood Of Pleasant
Ridge and Madisonyille was very severe, and
much damage done that can not be reported
without larger space than our oyer-crowded
columns afford.
At Cheviot the toll-gate and numerous out
houses were demolished, fruit and ornament
al trees were prostrated; near the Millcreek
Bridge a house was blown from its founda-
ton, and throughout the entire neighborhood
the tornado ragged with n force that was truly
terrific. 1ht l'lt
The Union and Placerville Bridge, recently
built, was unroofed, and otherwise seriously
damaged. .......,i, ... ...... .-..,. ., :
AT Duck-creek almost an entire forest was
prostrated by the wind. .... '
The Catholic Church at Mt. Adams was
damaged to the extent of at least. $780,
The lightning struck Catholic Church in
Reading, and partially demolished the edi-
flee, scattering the timber in every direction.
HARRISON BRIDGE UNRooFED.
The bridge across the Whitewater River,
at Harrison, was seriously damaged. About
two-thirds of the roof was blown off, and the
weather. boarding on the lower side was scat
tered about in almost every direction. n-f
A number of buildings in the village were
moro or less injured, among which were the
drug store of Briggs & Francis, dwelling and
store occupied by Mr.. Danbendner, Davs's
brewery, and Sutten's saw-rnill, together
although not materially
The country all around the vicinity was
more or less desolated by the tornado, which
seemed to gather in strength and velocity as
1t passed. Numerous stables, barns and other
buildings were prostrated none of which,
considering the general rnin, seem to be
worthy of detail, although they assist mate
rally, when taken collectively, in swelling
the aggregate loss.
THE STORM AT NEW RICHMOND. u
AT New Richmond the roof was blown off
a brick house on Front street, carried over
one square, and, landing against the dwelling
house of Mrs. Cook, knocked one side entirely
out. ~ =
The storehouse of NJ. H. Davis was entirely
blown to the ground, scattering the goods in
every direction. Davis's loss about $4,000.
The storm also carried the roof and gables off
the public school-house. There were two
schools in operation at the time, but no one
was injured. 90 errerf.r.i rr~atb e
The warehouse of D. Gibson, at the distil-
lery, was about half thrown down. The de-
struction ofhouses barns, fences and orchards,
throughout the country is immense. As far
as we have been able to ascertain, no lives
were lost. There was q vast amount of damage
done to boats and RATS, on the river, in this
neighborhood. .A'' 'dIl .L tfeh-
There were six pair of coal boats in sight on
the river just as the storm came up, and moth
ing has been seen of them since. All hands
on board must have perishod. Twenty-Five
lives are reported lost in this vicinity.
