 OnWednesday last we wsre visited by severe thunder storm accompanied by a strong gale of wind which in the north part of the town uprooted many trees threw down fences and destroyed several small buildings and 1t was supposed we should not experience the like for many years to come. But on Friday F. M the whole western sky was full of dark angry clouds ominous of what followed at about four o'clock, when a terrific gale burst up- on the whole town doing much injury to trees and fences. But this was not all, for as seon as the storm had sabated a lit tie, it was known that ag tornado slessthan a fourth of a mile in width had passed through our valley and left destruction in its path. Whole orchards were destroyed, shade trees prostrated, dwellings and barns greatly injured, small out-buildings oowhouses and sheds torn asunder and scattered far and wide, Messrs.. Nathan Warner, Geo. Smith, John Martin and Df. G. H. Atwood are the greatest suffer CTS.

 Connecticut suffered from femarkably severe thunder storms accomnpanied by tornados and hail on Wednesday, and Friday of last week. all our exchanges we read reports of the uprooting of trees. of the striking of houses by lightning, and damage by enormous hail stones. Wednesdays storm took the form of a tornado in the Shepaug Valley. blowing down trees across the railroad track in such numbers as to delay the train many hours. Here in Litchfeld lightning struck in several places at Bantam, in this vil- lage, on Chestnut hill and in East Iiteh= field. In Kent, says the, Banner, there was severe hail storm, many of the hail- stones being three-quarters of an inch in diameter. A tornado blew down nearly fifty trees and blocked the roads between Waterbury and Watertown, and unroofed the new building at the Malleable Iron Works in Meriden. Trees were struck by lightning in Berlin and New Britain, and ~ {" e'' OsA Neh 4iA A1aEtA0fl4s 44igub- ming struck in services places in the yil- lage of New Milford. # E:as ",a"I.
 Fridays storm was still more severe one. Our Woodbury and sBridgewater letters give accounts of the hurricane that swept through those towns. At Trumbull a barn was blown over, sheds were un- roofed and twelve apple trees blown over on one farm. A New Haven flag g-staff was struck by lightning. East of the Cennect- icut the storm was accompanied by terrif- ic hail which did great damage At Will limantic, hailstonesa fell as large as hens eggs. One church alone had 5000 worth (another account says many thousand dol Jars worth) of glass destroyed, and 20ee panes were broken in a single factory. In Plainfeld lightning struck in .fforty or ftty places, a lady was struck senseless, her hair being burned partly of, and two story building was blown down. If last week is a fair specimen of the coming heated term of 1872, we shall leave Grant and Greeley to fight it out in the United States, and retire to New Jersey. IT.

A number of sudden deaths have occur red in this community, recently, the first of which, that of Mrs. Canfeld, was men toned in your paper last week. On Tues day last the people of the village were startled by the announcement that Mrs. Greenwood, the wife of Rev. John Green wood, had died during the night She had been in feeble health for many years, but on the previous day was apparently as well as usual, and while sitting with her family after drinking tea, at about seven o'clock, she was prostrated by stroke of paralysis, which terminated her life in few hours. Her funeral was attended from the Congregational church, of which Mir. Greenwood was formerly Pastor, on Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Bonar of
 iciating Mrs. Greenwood was seventy seven years of age, and owing to her ex- tremely feeble health her circle of friends was necessarily small, but by those who did know her well, and by her family, she was tenderly loved, and will be deeply mourned. se.if -t.5 '. t5J.. .eea e. On Saturday of last week, Mrs. Ben jamin Treat, aged forty-two years, also died after an illness of only a few hours, caused by the bursting of blood vessel on her brain. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at her late residence, and the remains were then taken to Brook field for interment. Mir. and Mrs. Treat had only resided here for short time, and the deepest sympathy is felt for him in his great afiiction. ar,b o s. aukf sezs The body of Frank Hunt, & commercial traveller, who died suddenly in the street in New Haven, last week, was brought here on Monday, and funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, after which the remains were escorted to the cemetery by the friends of the deceased, and the Masonic fraternity, of which he was 8 member.

 The two thunder storms which oc- cured here last week were the severest that have been known for many years. On Wednesday the lightning was terrific, and one bolt which apparently burst in the air, played so many freaks that it would be almost impossible to mention all. The flash was binding, and was ac- companied, not followed, by thunder peal which sounded like the 'scrack of doom. = The lightning struck the railroad track near Soule's Lumber yard, and the pavement in front of Anson,s Hotel, also in a sleeping room in Booth X Blinn's store, and in several otherplaces. A host Ter at Anson's was knocked down, and re- mained insensible for long time, and Mir.
 Frederic Boardman who was standing near his barn with an iron rake in his hand,
 was also prostrated by the shock, but not hurt A young lady living at the upper end of the street was sitting by the win dow,with . pair of scissors in her hand pointing toward her arm, and received a slight shock, which left narrow mark liks burn extending hom her wrist to her elbow. Nearly every person out of doors was more or less affected.

Plymouth sketches--No. io4.

From the death of Abel, all along down through, extending centuries, human deaths of more than ordinary interest and sadness have occurred. Comparatively few in the earlier ages, they have multi piled in number as the earth has increased in population, until now each passing year bears witness to their frequency; each hastening month contributes to the list; each quickly departing week swells the fearful number; each feeting day pro- duces them. each swiftly gliding hour brings them forth. One of these depart ures-yet not the saddest on record-took place in East Church" parish on the 24th of May last. Mrs. Henry Hinman (daughter of William Curtiss of Chippin's hill, a young woman of health, activity and amiability, was called hence after an illness of only two or three days. She was a member of St. Matthews church.
 On Sunday, the 26th, the lRev. MT. Wells, of Bristol, oficiated at her funeral, which was very largely attended by sym pathizing friends. An infant child was buried with her. .....-

It was the most severe shower ex- perlenced here in long while.-Messrs. c. McNeil, Migeon and Hotchkiss started for Androscoggin Wednesday morning.
