terrible and destructive storm ever known
here, passed over this afternoon. At3p.
NJ. only few thunder clouds werei in sight,
and in less than half an hour the wind was
blowing heavily, accompanied with hail,
thunder and lightning. After short lull
in the storm, the wind increased to per-
feet tornado. Sheds, fences and trees were
torn down, and nearly every fruit tree this
vicinity is badly damaged. Suddenly an
immense body of water came rushing down

bridges, orchards, telegraph poles and some
cattle down with it, but as far as heard
