The more We hear of the storm in Iowa,
the worse n calamity it seems TO be. At
Grinnell, and in the near vicinity, lnclud.
ing the town of Malcolm, about miles
east OF GrinncIl, the number of lives lost is
in the ncghborhood of 100, and several
others are doomed to death from injuries
received. The number of houses DESTROYED
totally, and those partially ruined, reaches
l43, according TO the latest reckoning. Of
this number, according to the estimate of
the Hon j. Is. Grinnell, who is probably
very competent judge, the owners of fifty,
at least, have lost all they had in the
world. The pecuniary loss is variously es.

Mt Pleasant the damage to property, when
compared with the loss of life, is even
greater than at Grinncil. Il is estimated
that $50 houses are more or less damaged.

are reported from that point, and the pecu

more westerly part of the state there is
great damage but at points distant from
