velocity, literally destroying and blowing
away everything in its path, which was about
half mile wide at this point. Large sized
trees were whisked off; telegraph wires
snapped, and bark literally peeled from small
trees houses were blown from their founda'
lions cattle, hogs, sheep, horses and poultry
were hurled into the air and carried great
distance. The noise of the storm, the crash
of falling houses, and the cries and screams OF
terrified people, made scene of horror that
beggars description. What was beautiful,
quiet town twenty-four hours ago is now a
waste of desolation Out of two hundred
dwelling-houses not more than twenty are
lett standing, and but few of those remaining
are uniniured OF business houses around the
public square all but three are utterly demol.

conveyed to the only available structure left
standing, the public school building. which
was not badly damaged. 1t was turned into
a hospital, and there are now fifty wounded
IN the building, under the care of noble wo-
men from Lebanon and Springfield, who are
doing ell in their power to alleviate the suf-
ferings of those under their care.
The loss by this terrible calamity is esti-

all destroyed, except two. OF the 800 inhab-
itants of Marsh6eld, who yesterday had
happy, comfortable homes seven-eighths are

procure them. The restitution and suffering
are terrible. A great many bodies are lying
IN the Courthouse here. Of the total num-
