The Septinel's Franklin correspondent
writes under date of yesterday as follows:
Yesterday afternoon this place was visited
by another of those severe hurricanes that
have been such terror 10 this town since
the great damage resulting from such Wis
itation several years ago, and for short
time the greatest excitement and confusion
prevailed, but fortunately no lives were lost
though many made narrow escapes. The
principal damage done was to the Union
Hall building and the drug store of r.. G.
Wood. The tnird floor of the former build
ing was occupied by the Union Sunday
School at the time the wind struck and
removed the root aud for a time the widest
confusion prevailed. The children made
would have been injured but Tor one OF the
teachers securing the door thus effectively,
preventing stampede: The roof of Woods
drug store, including raiter and sheeting,
was carried some seventy yards and fell
within few feet of a spring wagon occupied
blown Oh, and the roofs of several dwelling
houses were partially removed, and a num-
Der OF outbuildings were slightly injured.
The Newcastle Courier contains the fol-
lowing particulars of the death of Mr.. Jabez
s. Hodson. recently reported in the Senti-
mel but briefly. Jsbez g. Hodson, a we'll
known and highly respected citizen of
Spicelsnd township, came to his death last
Saturday under very distressing circum-
stances. Mr.. Hodson had lately bought a
lot OF fine cattle belonging TO the herd of
the late Gen. Meredith, and among 9TH
ers, two-yesr-old bull, for which
he paid one thousand dollars. This bull
had ring in his nose, but being considered
gentle and safe ANNA, he was generally
led by head halter. 1t appears that Mr.
Hodson underto k TO lead him to water on
the morning in question, but as no one was
present 1t Is not certainly known. About
III O'Clock, Mr.. Hodson's son and
a work hand found him lying in
the barn-lot and almost dead. They
carried him to the house, but he lived
only about two hours. The bull had had a
fearful struggle, and had stamped Mr.. Hod-
son unit, he became tired and left of his
own accord. A space Of ground more than
a rod square was made dusty, and blood
was on the fourth board of fence near
where the struggle took place. Mr. Hod-
sons clothes were almost all torn from his
body, and on examination it WAS found
that his back was broken in two places, his
ribs all broken loose, and his breast
Zone broken also; in fact his body
was literally mashed into jelly.
Mr.. Hodson had his ankle broken
some weeks ago by a runaway near New
Castle, and still walked with his crutch. II
is supposed that he stumbled and tell, and
that the powerful animal became eNraged
at red breakfa fast shawl tied around his
head. The funeral took place In Spiceland
on last Wednesday, and large concourse of
bis friends and neighb0rs were present to
pay the last sad rites to one whose death
they so deeply deplored. Mr.. Hodson was
man about so years OF age, and leaves a
large family. He was possess ed of large
means, and was an enthusiastic breeder OF
fine cattle.
