Worcester, Mass, June IL. A sweeping
tornado passed through the towns of Paxton,
Holden and West Boylston this afternoon at
half-past four o'clock, demolishing every
building in its track, and tearing up trees by
the roots. The first account of it received
here was of its appearance in the town of
Paxton, where it demolished the barn of L.
Porkhurst, and blew off one end of his house.
From there it went in north easterly direc-
ton, and blew down the buildings of Mr.
Bigelow, on the old town farm. From there
it went through the woods, sweeping all be-
fore it, and striking the barn of Lewis Mar
tin, in Holden, entirely demolshing them
both. The village of Holden was next in its
destructive march, and here five barns, sew
eral houses, and one carpenter shop were
blown down, and three persons were injured,
one man who was in the carpenter shop, Mr..
Bennett, quite seriously. A strip of heavy
stone wall some so rods long, was completely
blown over, and large trees were blown 80
rods with upwards of a ton of earth upon
their roots. The tornado took but moment
for its work, and was accompanied by thun-
der and lightning and rain. The last heard
of it here was near Oakland, where trees were
down.

Quite an excitement was produced in the
streets of Hallowell on Friday, by runaway
team owned by Mr.. j. Greenlief, truckman.
The horse became frightened and ran down
Water street. One of the wheels of the truck
cart passed directly over horse and buggy,
hitched in front of Mark Johnson's store with
out doing any damage to either horse or bug
gy. Here the runaway relieved himself OF
the wagon with the exception of forward
wheels, and continued down Water street to
the store of Messrs Leigh & Wingate; then
returning went up Union street to Second, and
down Central to Water street, where he was
checked in his mad career. Strange to say
no material damage was done to person or
property, although there were many fright
ened individuals on the street.
