ed chain of storms of hurricane winds,
lightning and thunder, rain and hail,
such as, in the region involved, are not
expected till the month of June. From
our telegraphic advices, it appears, that
on the night of the 10Th, (Sunday.) a
heavy thunderstorm passed over ST.
Louis, doing considerable damage to
ohimneys, signs, awnings, trees, fences;
that on the same evening, q similar storm
prevailed at Nashville and thereabouts,
doing considerable damage to buildings;
that through central and Southern Ohio,
there was, at the same time, heavy rain

extensive commotion among the elo-

it? If we look for the remote canses, we
