Tuesday morning tornado viaited the outskirts of south Britain village creating intense alarm an1 destroying property. Tine cloud was seen from this VI lage by several ii passed along the Hous- atomic river. The tornado struck first little n1rth of E. B. Muiphy'g house, thea taEirg an easterly course, cutting clean path until iii tile rear of Mir John Houlinan's house, where it de- stroyed two stacks of hay. lifting them high into the air. Taking northefly route. it visited the orchard Of widow Maybee uprooting six apple trees and just touching her barn; then it veered. taking
 southeaserly direction. cleaning :n its path trees fences. crops. etc., along the South Britain to the residence of widow Curtis, destroying entirely an empty barn, and removing another several feet form its foundation. At this point very singu- lar thing occurred the wind passed between row of maple trees and Mrs. Curtis's house efter 1e- stroying the barn, and uprooted large butternut tree on the other side of her house. The tree. house, and barn were line, and it is remark able that the wind should veer around in the me ner that 1t did. The tornado went east toward the house of MT. Dennis Mslcney. without injaring the house. but destroying apple and other trees by the score; thence to PoIaperaug rIver, scooping up acoiumn of water which appeeIed to bs over if ty feet high. The only person injured was Mr. Den his Maloney, who keeps boarders, several Of whom were in the house; hearing the noise they ran out into yard, and NIT Naioney for safety. hal caught hold of rope used for swing. aud the next that he knew. he was fiat on his back with his collar bone broken. Dr. Vile attended him. One of the msn was lifted and seated in brook, and another lost his hat which is supposed to Do now sporting
 itself O. the head of the tornado. A pair of ove.- ails were taken from Mrs Carts csotnes line and carried haif mile to the roof of sIr. Msrwin Mtchell' barn.

 his father had gone to the lake. Mir. Charles Fairchild accompanied Mir. Fred. Lake and a search WIS made. and soon tho coat hat and cane were found. Im- mediate search was made for the body by Messrs. Nichols, Timms, Wood and Samuel Camp and Nichols caught tho body on hook, which was then drawn ashore. Tho body was found ill about fifteen feet of water, and about the same distance from the rock. There were no marks upon the body except a slight one over one eye, caused, perhaps, by his falling on stones previous to drowning.
 After the inquest the body was taken to his late home, and on Sunday after noon the funeral services were held, Rev. T. W. Haskins officiating. The inter menU was made in Taunton cemetery
 The deceased was aged 46 years and months. He leaves wife and three children. Mr. Lake was we'll known in this vicinity. For number of years he was afflicted with St. Vituss dance, and for the last year or two his affiietion was in the very worst form.

There are. we all know monuments in mother land, wnicn tho geulls ot erected tor the worship Of God and the aumlra ,ou of the ages.
 But among them all, ministers and mouaateries, carhedTals and castles, there is that strikes the eye, and comes back upon the memory with u peeahar so1tness of aumlration, oi reverence and love.
 It is not. al.ne. that the genius of Scott has thrown halo around the aDuey Of Melrose; but it's own sott a.ld strange and gentle beauty that eushrnes It ill car inner Learts

 The inquest was held in the lot of Mir. LeGrand Farchild, on the west side of the lake, where the body had been drawn ashore. It appears from the best in- formation that we could get, that on Thursday Mr. Lake visited Hawleyville. and while there some parties spoke to him about his having had conservatoG placed over him, and the inference is that he was offended at the reference-for he went home and spoke aFout it, and re- marked that he did not like it.
 Between the hours of five and six o'clock ill the evening he took his cane and hat and left home, and from that hour his family saw no more of him un- til found ill Ihe embrace of death. It seeras after leaving his residence he went directly towards the lake, for Mr Andrew J. Nichols met and spoke to him. Mir. Lake appeared to be unusually excited his way south of the latter's house and turned into the lots bordering on the lake, and there met ~Mr. Charles Butcher, who sat on the banks of Point of Rocks a fishing. He sat down along side of Mir. Butcher, and talked with him, and during the conversation asked where the deepest part Of the lake was. Mir Butcher poinJea 1t out to him, not thinking for moment that tl.o ques- tlonec intended to make way with him self.
 Mr. Lake left Mir. Butcher, and it is supposed, went about twenty y-fve rods farther south and out of sight of Mir. Butcher, and after removing his coat alid hat and laying them together, he went out to a rock, stoadyIng himself with his cane and on reaching the rock threw the cane back to the shore, after which he made the fatal plunge.
 No one knows the exact hour when he entered the water, though all asree to seeing him at the lake before dark. Mr. Joseph Timms, who was in a boat fishing said that he saw Mir. Lake stumbling around among the rocks, and remarked to his companion in the boat, Mr. WhittIe- sey, sI wonder what I5uac is doiEg around the pond : He thinks Mr. Lake heard him, for he immediately went away and out of sight.
 MT. Lake not returning home Ut night no fears were entertained by the family IS to his safety or whereabouts, as on one other occasion he remained away all night. They believed that he was aa some friends house, but when morning came and hc still remained away, his son, Frederick, went ill search of him, aAd on making Inquiries. learned that
