Boy Blown Through Il Chimney.
A correspondent Of the Virginian wri-
ting from Potecasi, Northampton coun-
ty, says One of the most terrible
aud destructive tornadoes ever known
in this section passed just south of this
village about $50 o'clock yesterday
evening, demolishing everything in it's
track, which was some two hundred
yards in width. The outhouses of W.
II. Parker were destroyed, together
with the barn and kitchen of S. n Par
ker, and the entire dwelling, kitchen,
an Office, barns, stables; in fact, every
building land there were many sur
rounding the beautiful dwelling of G,
M. Powell, just southeast of the depot.
Fronting the latter dwelling were
scores of beautiful cedars and other
trees, every one of which was blown
down. The dwelling, in which there
were twelve persons-Mrs. Powell
and her six or seven small chill
dren, young lady. Mr.. and Mrs. Dra-
per, and in the kitchen two colored
| persons-was unroofed, with the eXcep-
ton of one small room. Little Willie,
| seven or eight years old, was blown out
through the chimney, part of which
was blown off, the furniture scattered in
every direction. Yet, strange indeed,
only one child was slightly hurt. One
fine mule was badly hurt and will die.
| Chickens, turkeys, etc, were blown
away and many killed. In the mean
time the rain fell in torrents and flooded
everything, destroying much that was
exposed from the unroofing and demol
ishing of the houses, etc. Mr.. Powell
was not at home at the time, but has
tened from up town to rejoice that i
was no worse than it was. His loss il
not less than $4,000.
The path of the storm looks frightfnl
indeed, and we find the damage is mucl
greater than we yet know. The Messrs
Truitt's log engine, etc, is com
pletely blocked in the woods
fences demolished and tree-top
torn and twisted off in a frightfu
manner The roar of the storm and tn
rapidly moving unnel-shaped clou
were fiightful to hear and look upon.
