THE ESCAPE OF THE PRESIDENT.
OHIO NEWS.

On the 10th of June at about 5
o'clock, there was a fierce tornado at
Miamisburg, Montgomery county.
One bridge over the Great Miami was
demolished, and another was partially
unrooted /; fences and chimneys were
blown down, and houses unrooted.-
The depot rocked so as to stop the
clock. The path of the tornado was
narrow and the shoot did not touch
elsewhere in the vicinity.
The Ottawa Pullman County, Sen
tinel says that thousands of acres have
been covered, in that neighborhood,
with water to a great depth, which
will doubtless destroy the crops and
miles offences have been swept away,
which cannot be replaced in time to
protect a new crop of corn.
An Owner Waited About half
past 6 o'clock on Saturday night, a
married gentleman left a certain house
on Seventh street, in such a hurry
that he forgot to take his clothes with
him. Cause why, lady's husband came
home Unexpectedly. The gentleman
who went through the city in such an
airy costume on Saturday night, can
no doubt get the rest of his traps by
calling at No.--[ZanesviAe Signal
