Hearfrending Catastrophe.
From Mr.. Joseph L. King, of Mont
vale Springs, East Tennessee, we learn,
says the Knoxville Press and Herald,
the particulars of a sad affair which oc-
CURED near the Springs during the
storm which passed over this section on
last Tuesday. Four children, daughters
of Mr.. Thomas Heron, left a school
house to go home, just as the storm came
up. Becoming frightened at the fierce
ness of the wind. they turned around to
run back to the schoOlhouse, when two
trees falling together struck them to the
ground in sight of the teacher and the
rest of the school children. AS soon as
the teacher could get to them, he did so,
and found the eldest, girl of sixteen,
so fearfully mangled that she only lived
about an hour; another had her skull
fractured; the third had her right leg
and thigh broken; and the fourth had
her right arm shattered, while all of
them were internally injured. No hopes
are entertained of the recovery of two of
the children, and the case of the fourth
one is considered very critical. The
father of the children is a farmer living
five miles southwest of Montvale
Springs, in Happy Valley.
