TUsCUMBIA, ALA November 25.-
The storm Of Sunday evening was tho
most disastrous in it's effects upon the
surrounding country. Houses were
unroofed and fences blown down in
every direction; large trees we're torn
from the ground and carried many
yards by the storm, crushing cabins
and out. houses as they went. After
the tornado left Tuecumbia, it seems
TO have spent its fury or risen above
the houses; then having apparently
gained new strength. it cnme down
upon the farm OF Bsni. Wilson, six
miles from here, and totally destroyed
his residence. corn crib and gin house.
1t then passed up the stream known as
Pond Crock, leveling thousands of
forest trees. Some miles further on
toe farm houses and out-buildings of
Wilkes Davidson, a weIt-known citi-
zen, were destroyed. as was also the
home Of Ira Jarman, an extensive
farmer. Scores Of negro cabins were
blown down aud two black men killed;
several others slightly wounded. Tue
loss to Tnscn mbia is fully Us much us
ut first reported. Among the property
destroyed was two grist mills which
anppiea the town with meal. and the
want Of this article OF food is begin
ming to be severely felt Many Of tho
houses that were not blown entirely
down have been rendered unfit for
habltntiou. and nearly every bulldog
in the place has b.en moro or less
damaged. Provisions are giving out

SIN Tho WISCONSIN Legislature ia getting up

Ing the carrying out of the provisions of Il bill
n1esented to the latter body, fcw weokH ago,
by Con: Butler, Of Massachusetts. Said bill pro-
yideH that tho Government ehall supply actual
settlers with FREQ transportation to tho public
lands and provide farming implements, together
with years provisions, to nll settlers who arc
willing to loayo tho crowded cities and n,ake an
independent living for themselves; tho Govern
mont to get mortgage on tho farm for tho
! amount lent, to be paid in sovon or fourteen
yeers, at 7 per cont interest.

est for tho money loaned, and as it would in

RESOURCES and rich treasures that aro hidden in
