CITY of South Bend Was visited by terrible tor
psdo Wednesday evening. Many buildings were
demolished or badly damaged. and gardens, or
chards, shrubbery and fences destroyed The
long bride, across the St Joe River, costing
s24 900, was swept away. The Court house was
unro.fed The loss in the village Is estimated
at $4,000. The track OF the tornado was
about two hundred feet wide. extending about
ten miles ives. Of the town. Many persons were
more or less iDjured-none killed
WABASH AND Erie CAsaL-we are informed
that parties are expected to visit this city soon
for the purpose of making arrangements for the
reopeniDg Of the Wabash and Erie Canal We
hEc wv sure tuts VIC nave CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD
the proposition made by the Company, but have
been informed that the gentlemen now operating
the northern erd of this institution propose 70
reopen il to this city. and to begin the work as
soon as a subscription Of $40 900 is secured TO
the Company.
IL does seem that the reopening of this canal
Is OF the hrst importance TO the city OF Evans
vile. IL opens up TO Va a scope Of country that
is not now reached by any public conveyance.
and the natural outlet for all the produce of this
scope Of country will be Evansville. so soon as 8
means of transportation Is provided. In tease of
,he revival OF the canal no other city could con-
pete with Evansville for this trade
We are informed that quite an interest is being
felt in this enterprise in Green, Davies and Pike
counties, and that the citizens are looking very
favorably on the proposition. The Company
We are told, does not fear to risk the moDey
necessary for its repair but ask this subscription
for the purpose of interesting the public 10 pro-
tecting the canal against the depredstions of a
class of persons who used 10 give much trouble
in cutting the banks.
But, whatever may be the reason for asking
the subscription IL is evidently an enterprise that
greatly interests all the business men OF our city
and one that. when completed. will add much
20 the business Of this city any that could be
conceived of at this understandable Journal
