TERRIBLE SroRM-On Friday after
noon about \ O'Clock the most terrible
and destructive rain storm that per.
haps ever visited this county, passed
over the southern and eastern part ot
Franklin township. Nearly an hour
before it passed here. cloud, were seen
to move northward very rapidly, ac-
companicd with low distant thunder.
ing, when suddenly, the wind changed
and blew in n southern direction. ~, 4
in very short time Shade Mountain
could not be seen from this place. 80
dense was the rain that il was impoSsi.
bic TO see more than rod ahead. The
roaring and crashing noise oftho storm,
as it was approaching and passing near
this place, cannot bc described. ID was
but of n few minutes duration, yet ter.
riblc in its results. 1t was on the or
der Ola whirl wind and about two hun,
dred yards wide and left very little un-
harmed that came in its way.
The first mark of its destruction.
westward, is on i. j. Smiths farm.
near this place, where il passed
through n very valuable piece of tim-
bcr land, leveling every thing to the
ground, and destroying "a great deal of
timber.
We took walk to this place n day
or so afterwards, and n we stood look,
ing overthe havoc we solcmnly thought
how powerless, we are, when the Tide is
turned against us but for one moment.
A house and barn of John Norman's
was on the path of the storm. The
barn was unrooicd and large portions of
the roof with raiters attached. were
carried distance of three hundred
yards. Shingles apd boards were scat.
tered over the whole farm nearly. H.
barn was moved about three inches up
on its foundation. The latch ut the
front door of the house was broken and
the door forced open, and the united
efforts of the family could not more
than partly close it, causing great fear
amongst them that the house would bc
torn to pieces.
The next buildings that came in il
grasp, were the unfinished house OF
Geo. Musser, in Franklin, unroofed
Mrs. Kramer's and DIT. B. Bibighaus'
barns, both unrooicd.
The sweeping destroyer then took an
almost directly eastern course, and
struck farm ofMichael Schoch's, des
troying the roof of the barn and almost
entirely demolishing the house, at least
so much that it Is impossible 10 repair
| it.
Trees were uprooted, or twisted oil,
and lay in all directions for instance,
the top of one tree might be lying
southward, and not more than, twenty
feet, another might be seen lying with
the top northward; thus showing that
It was more than an ordinary wind
blowing from one direction. Fences in
its course were thrown TO the ground
the bottom rails, being blown far from
their original places.
The rain fell in torrents during the
storm. and wherever it passed it left
marks which may he seen after many
years have passed away.
The storm passed through Middle
creek and Penn township, doing a
great deal Of damage.
The oldest inhabitants, in town and
vicinity, say they never saw or heard OF
anything like it in this part of the State
before. and all who Witnessed il honed
that they would never see such sight
sgain.
