An Interesting Day,

The /. o. o. F. Lodges have perfected ar
rangements for the celebration of the 52d an
niversary OF the Order which takes place at
Loudon OH the 26th inst, and the following is
the programme for the occasion: The Lodges
in this place will meet at the Lodge room on
Wednesday morning at Z o'clock and form in
procession, headed by the Mechanics Brass
Band, and march to the depot, where they will
take the train for Loudon, leaving at o'clock.
On arriving there, the usual formalities on such
occasions will be held after which the train will
return to Knoxville, leaving Loudon at Pm.
After the ceremonies of the day, it is expect
ed that those who indulge in terpsichorean
amusements will remain and enjoy themselves.
Maj. Jackson, the Superintendent of the road
has kindly consented that one of the passenger
coaches may be left at Loudon for the accom-
modotion of those who remain, with the privi-
lege of returning on the freight train at 5 AM,
or on the passenger train at IL O clock Thurs
day.
Extensive prepations are being made for the
occasion, and we have no doubt but it viii be an
interesting one, and that the citizens of Loudon
will be edifedg and dispense their hospitality
with lavish hand.
Tickets will be sold at half fare rates

FREAKS AND INCIDENTS.

Mr.. John r. Gaines, who lived less than
300 ysrds from Squire Burton's, the sec
ond victim in the order named. Had q
fine nursery and good buildings, but escap-
ed, being just outside of the belt now a
perfect track of desolation.
VIM. Kittrell, who lived within fifteen
fifteen steps of the line of the store, was
uninjnred.
Our informant saw cedar tree, 20 feet
long and Is 5inches'through, whipped clean
of all branches, and blown, roots and ALI
great distance.
The storm crossed the Little Tennessee
liver, at Jackson's Ferry, and blew down
a fine new barn belonging to Mr.. Jackson.
This was the last trace of the storm our in
formant had. The belt the storm travelled
was from one-fourth to three-fourths of a
mile wide, and for that space, for eight
miles, scarcely fence or house is standing.
Fences were blown on one side and fences
from that side were blown to the other.
The wind came from every direction and
swept into this named belt, where the work
of destruction was rapid and compleet.
After the storm was over, friends from
all directions gathered in to relieve the suf-
fererS. Our informant was Bn eve witness
of what we have described, and was one of
about seventy-fivs who built about five
miles of fencing on Thursday. To save
the crops they ran one fence around about
ten thousand acres of growing graini and
grass.
The people of Philadelphia turned out
on Friday to aid in the work of repairin e
the damage done.
The most remarkable feature connected
with this terrific hurricane is that no lives
were lost. 1t came up so rapidly and
swept over the country so swiftly that the
Inhabitants were not arOusee from their
sleep, Had they been about falling trees,
timbers, &C., would no doubt have killed
many.
1t is impossible to estimate the damage
done, but from our account, which we are
assured is reliable, our readers can see it
was the most destructive storm that ever
visited this section,
