NOTES.

Several chickens on the Farrell and
Aydelott places, which had all or nearly
all of their feathers blown off them, are
still living. Ii is matter of wonder to
many that the chickens themselves were
not blown away; but it is possible that
they were carried some distance and
afterwards returned.
Miss Kate Aydelott is improving
rapidly from her bruises, and can now
be propped up comfortably in bed and
moved with less discontinue.
Mr.. j. g. Taylor estimates his loss as
a result of the storm at $1,000. His
barn was completely blown to pieces,
but ten mules on the inside were unhurt.
He had several vehicles demolished,
fences blown down, etc. Although the
tornado passed within fifty feet of his
residence; the building was not injured
in the least.

walking cane, which was picked up on
the Knob, having been blown there
during the tornado. The owner can

to his house near the crossing of the NJ
