On Sunday, the Sd inst, the most ter
rible tornado since 1874 visited Musca-

circle around the city. Fences were
prostrated, windows shattered, trees
uproeted, and in some instances houses
were blown away in pieces. The hoase
of Benjamin +. Miller was blown to at
oms, but the family was fortunately ab-
sent on q visit. A large frame church
was literally lifted from it's foundation
aud scattered to the winds. Some of
the books belonging to the cpngrega-
tion were afterwards found several
miles of. A brick school house shared
the same fate.
The tornado struck the house Of Mr..
Lindley Hopes, destroying house, fur
niture, barn, cattle, and almost, every
thing he possessed. There were in The
house at the time, Mr.. Hopes and his
family, and his son-in-law, Mr.. Bartlett
and his wife. The tornado was discsy-

the house, and the occupants succeed.

act of gsing down stairs. when they
were suddenly dropped to the ground
amid mass Of ruins, with portion of
the roof upon them. Mr.. Bartlett
states that just previous to fall
ing he cast his eyes into the
room he had occupied and saw
the bed turned upside down. He was
dug out of the ruins severely, bruised:
but his wife, strange to say, escaped
with scarcely any injury. Mr.. Hopes
and his family were nearly buried in the
cellar, but the distractions were soon
removed, and it was found that Mrs.
Hopes, little girl, and William
Hopes were slightly bruised, though
otherwise the family were uninjursd.
Other buildings in the same neighbor-
hood were injured and destroyed, and
thousands of fruit trees were broken
down. Hail stones fell As large as hen

to death with them. The devastation

He had paid the penalty of the crime
