ST. LOUIS, March 30.-A severe thunder and
lightning storm passed over this city at eigbt
this evening, accompanied by heavy rain.
During the storm terrific tornado from the
southwest struck the large brick market house
on Seventh street aud leYelled the northern half
of it in the twinkling Of an eye. Most of the
roof aud several heavy timbers were carried
across Seventh street, and striking the building
opposite knocked two great holes in il, exposing
the rooms So far as now known only FIVE per-
sons were injured. One, Henry Wilde, butcher,
seriously, perhaps MORALLY. A woman, name
unknown, had her leg badly crushed, and a
man, also unknown, both arms broken. The
stalls in the market were occupied, and a large
number of persons were present making pur-
chases, and il is wonderful that scores were not
killed. Beside slight damage done TO one or two
buildings two or three blocks distant, no other
destruction seems to have occurred.
IL is thought likely the tornado struck the
ground only at this point, rose again and pass
ed on in northeastern direction, and may be
heard from at some point in Illinois tomorrow.
Seventh street is blocked with debris Parts of
the Market house roof aud awnings were car
red two or three blocks.
A later dispatch gives the following addition
oil names of injured; John Heck back severely
hurt, causing paralysis of lower part of his
body will probably dieI Mrs. Flori compound
fracture on left leg, flesh badly lacorated; Edwin
Flon, internally hnrt and shoulder torn by a
meat hook; George White, badly cut about the
head, nose broken and right ankle dis0oaied;
Henry LipGFdt, Internally hurt, john Burger,
arm broken and bruised IN various places, Two
or three Others were bruised slightly.

being conducted by his assistant and Rev. Mr..

held at six o'clock, and conducted by Rev. Mr..

boy choirs. The,singing of the Easter anthems,
Psalms for the day, Tie Deum hymns and CAN'T
cles was rendered in a hearty and impressive
manner, the TIE Deum, by Warren, being par
ticularly fine. The forenoon service consisted
of the litany and holy communion, with singing
by the full choirs, and an excellent sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Hudson, from the text, "Christ being
raised from the .dead, dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him." In the
afternoon, the annual Easter festival of the
children of the parish was held in the church,
when the prizes and flowers were distributed,
with appropriate services and the singing of the
carols. It was a beautiful service, the caroling
of the little folks being particularly fine. A pro-
fusion Of flowers filed the font, while the lectem
and pulpit were gracefully decked. In front of
the pulpit was large cross made of moss and
exquisite flowers, and in front of the ectern a
flower basket of unique design. Floral crosses,
crowns, anchors, stars and wreaths, had appro-
pirate places in and around the chancel. The
choristers were adorned, each with choice
bunch of flowers, and altogether ii was a scene
of rare beauty, and service of great delight to
the Pensioners of All Saints.

Rev. Mr.. St. John preached a discourse appro-
pirate to Easter, and a new Easter anthem COM

effect. In the evening Mr.. St. John preached
upon the "Glory Of the Gospel" The music
consisted of new Kyre and Gloria by Mr..
Stearns, and a Jubilate by Mendelssohn.
At the Church of the Unity Rev. r. X. Ship
pen occupied the pulpit for the first time since
he preached his farewell sermon as pastor last
summer, He gave very interesting discourse
at the morning service, the theme of which was
that the kingdom of God is not in some far re-
moved region, but is here, with us now, living
present reality. In the evening he spoke of the
spiritual significance which the apostles gave to
the resurrection of Christ. The pulpit, altar,
and pan on either side were radiant with
flowers Jm the greenhouse. The Sunday school
teachers had a bright little noses, ady for
each child, which were presented ev Mr.
Shipper at the Sunday school service. 8Ihe mu-
sic was, of course, very fine, the selections being
appropriate to Easter. The singing by the SUI
perior quartette choir of this church was listen
ed to with added interest from the fact that il
was the last opportunity 3 hear Miss Ingraham,
who is about to remove to New Haven which

BILE disaster 10 the bark Nimrod, off Bermuda,
have been published. 1t appears that at about
four o'clock in the afternoon of the l9fh inst,

loud report was heard aft, and in a moment the
flames were bursting through the rent timbers
OF tue cabin deck. Boom after boom followed
the hrst report, the fire rapidly spreading. Two
men, who were severely burned, ran toward the
cabin with the determination of rescuing Mrs,
aud Emma Barley, the captains wife aud
daughter. After launching the Jolly boat, the
two men who raShly ventured ait were dragged
from the flames by their comrades aud lowered
down to the boat When the crew of the iolIy
boat had rowed about fifty yards from the
ship, a terrific explosion took place amid
ship, and then it occurred 10 the horr6ed
men in the boat that four men who were relieved
from watch at midday had not been called out
at the time Of the disaster. 1t was then certain
that ten lives had been sacrificed, viz: Captain
BARLEY, wife and daughter; the man at the
