SMYRNA, Aug. 4.-During the heavy
rain storm yesterday afternoon cyclone
formed near the big Oak" about three
miles from here, and passed in north
easterly direction across the fine farm of
d. j. Cummins, in tenure of George
Thompson. The -years-old peach
orchard on this farm was considerably
damaged. ID. Trumpeller's farm, in tenure
of George McClary, was the next in the
path and the corn lying fiat on the
ground and building unroofed mark
very plainly the path of the storm.
Sheriff Robinson's farm suffered from
damage to the apple orchard, an un-
rooted building and corn blown down.
The Peterson property, in tenure of
Samuel Hobbs, evinces the fullest wrath
of the storm, barracks filled with hay be-
ing blown over and cow killed and the
crops severely damaged. This. our
second cyclone of the season, surpassed
the first in violence, and did damage to
damage to the amount of $4,000.
After leaving Mr.. Hobbs the storm
took northwest course and it is thought
here that the tornado which struck the
Reyoold was continuation of our storm.

storm was one of the most severe expe-
rienced in this city for years. Rain fell
in torrents about o'clock last evening,
and the marshes on both sides of the city
are now flooded. The tide in the river
was unusually high and during the after
noon the waves ran over all the wharves
and piers and dashed over the river
banks. At $50 o'clock in the afternoon
the air near the railroad station was filled
with flying branches and leaves of trees,
corn blades and other light stuff, which.
from the direction of the wind, must have
blown from Jersey, near Fort Delaware, a
distance of six or seven miles. Pieces OF
corn stalks with leaves attached flew at a
hight of 100 or 200 feet, giving evidence
of severe storm across the river.
