The Terrible Tornado.


CINCINNATI, June 11.-Later particulars from
the scene of the tornado, which visited Quincy
and DeGraff, Logan County, show it was more
destructive than the first reports indicated. In
Quincy, fifty or sixty dwellings and stores, and
two churches, and as many more shops, stables
and out-buildings, were unroofed, or rocked up
on their foundations, or demolished. The air
was literally filed with flying weather boards,
furniture laths and plaster A parlor stove was
caught up by the wind, and hurled through the
air, and falling upon woman crushed her so that
she died. The tornado on the way to DeGraff,
struck Boggs' Touring mill, five stories high,
containing 5000 bushels of grain, moving the
building nine inches upon its foundation, and
carrying away the roof, and a portion of the
fifth story. 1t ploughed its way through De-
Gsraff scattering destruction in its path, hurting
lew persons, and injuring less number OF
buildings. After leaving DeGraff, it passed
several settlements, and was seen for miles
carrying in its funnel shaped form, timber, rails
and debris, which it had gathered in its de-
structive march. The papers this morning give
the names of 80 persons injured in Quincy, and
II injured in DeGraff Mrs Ball reported to
have been killed in DeGraff, is yet living, but
two of her children were killed. Morse Gleck
or Quincy, has since died from wounds

A CASE FOR THE FRIENDS OF DUMB AM
MALs.-The Boston Post says that one day last
week box directed to Portland was left at the
Office of the Eastern Express in Boston, by
some person unknown. Upon examination it
was found to contain good sized shaggy-hair-
ed dog, the only part of his body visible being
the arch of his back, which was seen through
an aperture i'll the top about two inches and a
half wide. His head was forced down between
his forelegs so that no air could reach him, and
it was evident he could not survive the journey,
if Indeed he was not already dead. The box
was opened, and the animal rolled out upon the
floor rigid and motionless, scarcely breathing
and with fixed wide open eyea. Water was
thrown upon him and every effort made to re-
suscitate him. but without effect, and finally
he was killed to put an end to his pain.

ga MORNING CALL."-The horse car quid
nuncs who made up their minds long since to
be surprised at nothing, were rather touched up
in their withers, yesterday morning, and owned
up beat. A damsel of about twenty summers
called into the horse car office, and taking a seat
among the passengers awaiting to be transla-
ted to Westbrook, drew her cigar, struck a
light, and proceeded to take quiet smoke! To
the right nor the left did she turn her timorous
eyes; but looking straight at the smoke as it
vanished in thin air, she enjoyed the ductile
weed for about thirty minutes, when drawing
her wraps about her, this gentle maiden with
drew 1t was a pleasant sight to see with what
indifference she stood the peeping from all cor

in town. The lads who count the tickets, were

The Vice President then laid before the Board
letter from Gen. Anderson, President of the

the members of the Board with their ladies to
make an excursion to North Conway on Satur-
day. the 18th inst; the train to leave at 1-2
O'Clock and return the same evening. The OBJ
ject of the trip is expressed in the following ex-
tract from the letter
Believing that misrepresentation exists in
this community as to the character of the work
and the facilities for business on this road and
as the city of Portland and its citizens are the
principal owners of the road, and will soon be
called upon to express their views as to its fur
ther extension, it has been thought advisable
by the directors, to ask the mechanical business
and other interests of the city to make person.
al examination, SO that when called upon to
act, they may do so upon their own individual
Judgments, uninfiuenced by the representations
of interested parties.
President Anderson addressed the Board, say
ing that an invitation had been also extended
to the Mercantile Library Association. He re-
marked that the Discrimination of the city gov
ernment to appoint commission to inform the
citizens of Portland to the feasibility of their
road, the slurs that had been cast upon the UNI
dertaking during the past few weeks, the call
ing the location in question, required that some
steps should be taken by the company to put
the matter before the people. They had, there
FORE concluded to invite the citizens, who were
themselves qualified to judge, and let them
make a thorough inspection. 1t was intended
to carry about thousand on the trip, and par
ties would carry their own refreshments.
Mr.. Geo. w. Woodman hoped the invitation
would be accepted, and that the business men
of the city would thus personally examine the
subject The names on the petition to the City
Council for the appointment of q commission
were those of men who had the largest interest
in the welfare of Portland, and he was surpris-
ed to see their request denied. He thought
Boston was alive to the effect that the Portland
and Ogdensburg road would have in transfer
ring part of the Western trade to Portland, and
if our business men would go and see for them
selves they would find some way to bring the
result of their observations before the citizens
and the vote for further aid would be as strong
