MURFREEsBaRo, TENN, Oct. 7, 1ST2.-
The Fair, which was attended with th
most favorable and encouraging auspices
ended in confusion and dismay, caused by
the terrible
STORM FIEND,
which overlook many on the road home,
and PLAYED sad havoc with lace, silk, blush
es and smiles. The frenZied winds, glory
ing in their escape from the cave of Eolus,
swept with the breath of destruction over
the land. Hundreds Of fences were blown
down, scores Of trees were uprooted, stock
were killed, fields Of corn were smiten to
the ground. Mr.. q. S. Herding's buggy was
overturned, ana he was bruised to some
extent. His borse, breaking loose, cOntin-
ued until lie broke bis neck. A dwelling
house near the fair grounds, was blown
down, but no one hurt. The roof of the
Christian Church, which was torn of, is
now being rapidly restored, and many
strange bundles and curious things are be-
ing discovered, and we overheard one for
lorn belle, that evening, mOurnfully sOlilO-
quizing:
$40 all love OF hope or fear,
Honor OF own, n long adeu!
To all that life has soft or dear,
Farewell-saye memory OF you!
Please accept our most sincere eondol-
ences, Miss r.
