The Storm in Henry County and
the Damage it Done.

CLINTON. Mo-, June %.
We had little "bOss hurricane" down
this way Sunday morning, between six and
seven o'clock. The way the wind blew vas
enough to startle Mrs. Brooks Sleeping

it did blow it Blew as it never blew before.

thick and fast, OF terrible injuries received
by both man and beast.
"Dld you hear about Mr.. Harrison's
family getting smashed up:' was the first
words that greeted our ears.
"No; how was it ?" We eagerly asked.
"Why, their house blew over on them
this morning"
"Anybody killed >" We interrupted.
"No, but they all got petty badly hurt"
"where do they live"

Further inquiry only went to confirm the
above.
The next man heard from was one OF the
immortal Smith family. Smith got struck
by lightning, and it was thought for while
that he had gone to join the silent majority,
but this thought was soon dissipated BY
Smith rising to his feet and looking just -

The next sufferer was Geo. r. Bell, .
Granger. His house didn't blow over, but
his barn, containing two or three hundred
bushels OF corn did, all the same, and Mr..
Bells two valuable horses were crippled
thereby.
Reports from every part Of the county
visited by the storm, say that il was the
worst one within the memory Of the oldest
inhabitant. One very noticeable feature Of
the storm, was the hail, which was very
