ALBANY, o., May ia tornado passed
through Columbia Township, Meigs County.
about five miles from this place, last night,
carrying death and destruction with 1t.
MIS- Margaretta MoComas, aged sixty,
was instantly killed; also her nephew,
Hathman McComas, aged twenty-one.
Lizzie McComas was seriously injured, but
viii probably recover. The house in which
the McComases were killed was entirely de-
molished and spntered into kindling-wood.
A stone mantelpiece weighing nearly two
hundred pounds, was carried a distance Of
fifty yards. The household goods were car
ried distance Of nearly three miles. Many
houses throughout the county were wrecked
or partially so.
LEBANON, o., May 13.-The storm came
bowling from the southwest in mad fury, toy
ing with the trees, breaking some off, up
roofing others and filling the air with an in
describable mass of flying foliage, awnings,
bricks and roofs Of houses with crash and
wild rushing noise that was most ap-
palling. The first building struck was the
old Lebanon tannery, on Main street, the
roof OF which was torn off and scattered. 1t
jumped nextto the Lebanon House, three
roof, which lies in huge ball on Broadway.
From this point it went down Broadway
moving down beautiful shade trees on both
sides OF the street, and unroofng many
houses on the east side. When it reached
Davis Greely's mill 1t jumped down in the
hollow by the reservoir and struck a frame
dwelling, completely leveling it to the ground.
The house was occupied by two colored fami.
lies, consisting of four grown persons, two
young men and two little children. Strange
to say. every one escaped, the two young
men, Ed. Grimes and Jim johnson, being
blown from the room upstairs, where they
were asleep distance of more than hum
dred yards against the bank of the reser-
voir. The Union school-house and many
other buildings in town were damaged.
CINCINNATI. Nav lathe storm reached
Cincinnati about 10 o'clock, and was violent,
consisting of rain, wind and hail. The rain
fell in torrents, aud the streets were deluged
with water. There was less of hail
than in the morning, but it fell with
great force. The damage, however, is incon-
siderable. The suburbs report slight
damage. Reports come of damages by the
storm from Middletown, Piqua, Wilmington,
Washington, c. H., Albany. Greenville, Mari.
eta, Lancaster and other Ohio points.

The HaYdnS.

That there is rare musical talent in Port
land is fact that would be attested by such
as were so fortunate as to listen to the con-
cert Of the Haydn Association last evening
The music was of that nature that could not
fail to be appreciated by the BETTING assem-
blage of our most musical people that formed
the audience. At the outset a keen disap-
pointment was felt by the announcement
that Mrs. Fellows had been suddenly taken
Ill and would not be able to fill her part, but
Mrs. Farley made highly acceptable sub
stitute The heat was extremely oppressive,
and doubtless had much to do with the
seeming lack of applause. But nevertheless
several of the numbers were encored. The
choruses were rendered finely, and were OBJ
viously the product of much careful training.
The concert must be considered by all de-
cided success.
