FULTON COUNTY TORNADO.
As Described by an Observer for tn,
Ohio Meteorological Bureau.

The report of the Ohio Meteorological
Bureau for June is just received. It says the
record for that month was marked by low
barometer, low temperature, and low daily
average of temperature, with westerly winds
and small rainfall. The most interesting
item found in the report is description by
Mr.. Thomas Mikesell, observer at Wauseon,
Fulton county, of the tornado which passed
north of there on the oath ult Mr.. Mikesell
says:
The tornado was formed about twelve
miles north of hear, near Lyons, and at about
2:45 p. M, when about two miles south of
Philips Corners, it came to the ground. Its
course was little south of east. As 1t des-
cended it unroofed the house of j. Stahl, on
the west side of the road. A large piece of
the roof was thrown about ten rods to the
southeast, and other parts to the northeast.
1t next struck the barn of o. P. Barnes,
which stood Just at the south edge of the
storm track, and took the roof from one side.
The house (made of plank) stood a little
north of the center of the track, and the
whole upper part was taken up and ground
to pieces. The north wall was left and the
south wall taken to the floor. Mr.. Barnes
was jerked up by the wind and carried about
five rods, passing over an apple tree, and
when he dropped an apple tree fell on him.
He was not seriously injured. A boy who
was in the yard was thrown under sled, on
which, almost instantly afterward, the corn
crib was dashed. The boy was but little hurt.
A strawcovered shed was not touched, while
chicken house near was totally destroyed,
many of the chickens being killed.
Mrs. Barnes, who was at the house, was
struck on the head and breast, and badly in
jured. When the storm had passed, she was
found in the yard unconscious. A boy who
was lying on alounge in the house, was rolled
OF on the floor, and the quilt taken, which
was found over half a mile to the east. Some
of the goods were carried nearly three miles
away. After passing the house it struck the
orchard, which it nearly destroyed, tile trees
being broken of or taken out by the roots.
The track of the storm is only about twenty
rods long, by ten rods wide. It was not over
half minute from the time it first appeared
till it was gone. It is described as big blue
ball and roared louder than a train of cars.
Just after the tornado passed it rained
very heavy with little hail. It hailed very
heavy in all directions around. Some places
the hail was three inches deep, and on the
west side of buildings there were chunks of
ice weighing ten pounds forty-eight hours
after the storm. The hail extended over a
tract eight to ten miles wide, by fifteen to
to twenty long. Some places crops were
nearly ruined.

Many Horses Dying.

A great many more horses than is usual
are. sick and dying this Summer in this
county. We think much Of it is due to over.
work and poor care in the way of feeding &c
Good pure water and nice clean feed, such as
oats, hay, &C., are more necessary at this
season of the year when the weather is so
very warm, to insure good health for your
horses than at any other time. Soon the
heavy plowing will begin again and if you
find any of your horses which are not in q
first class condition, you should proceed al
once to procure some of Saur's favorite
remedies, which are always sure to assist
nature in the restoration of health in the
shortest possible time, and by giving small
quantity of these remedies for few days,
you will find very marked Improvement,
and If you are not satisfied that they have
done your horses any good your money will
