Year: 1860

There were some curious circumstances
connected with the progress Of this gale. At
the station, Mr.. Mason, whose wife was in
jured at Mr.. GriHin's, saw the stormcoming
and erawled into drain under the depot
The next he knew of his whereabouts he
/ had been carried into field some forty or
/ fifty rods across the track, and striking upon
were barrels of flour and some bags of rye.
After the storm had passed, nothing was
found of either, except one bag of rye which
was in one of the freight cars which was
overturned. No grain had been in it before.
Many small articles were carried TO great
distances. An iron bolt, four inches long
and quarter Of an inch square was found
driven an inch into a tree halt a mile away.
A quarter of dollar and a cent from the
money drawer at the station were found half
a mile of, and pieces of stovepipe, an iron
piece Of a sewing machine, weighing two
pounds, and a shovel equally as far. A
handsaw was carried over a mile, and two
feather beds five or six miles. A box of
hardware having been in the depot, was
evidently taken up into the air and
wrenched apart, as its contents were found in
all the fields and woods in the track of the
storm.


The 500 which were blown away were in
one package of $500 and other smaller par
GELS. One 81 bill of this was found at Girard,
16 miles distant, and just as the train left
Warren yesterday afternoon, it was reported
that the $500 package had been found in
Coitsyille, about an equal distance. Two
pages of Mr.. Woods Ledger were found in
Liberty, 20 miles off, and tickets from the
Office were found at all distances from 90
miles. A boy found some rein snaps, buck
les, &C., half mile of, the mass being snap
ped and buckled together by tbewind in the
air. They were from the box of hardware,
where of course they were separate. 1t was
reported that an OK was left hanging in a
tree, but this was without foundation. A
flock of geese which were about the station
were all killed. One house was completely
riddled by the sticks, &c, driven through
the siding like spikes.


No description can do justice to the appear
anee of the scene even yesterday, after two
days had been actively employed in clearing
away the wreck. The ground was strewn
thickly with the evidences of destruction
We asked Smith what the storm looked like
when he was clinging to the stump. "Why,"
he said, "it didn't look like anything.
can't describe it. 1t was like a thick fog,
full Of trees, logs, and every thing else. Il
was so dark I couldn't see, and the wind
Topped me around any where and every
where" A lady who saw it a mile away
says it looked like huge wheel rolling over
the earth. The width of the track varied
from qnarter to a half mile.


A new depot is to be built Immediately by
the c. & NJ. Co.


We are indebted to Franklin Stow, Esq,
of Braceville. for much assistance in obtain
ing fall and reliable reports.


During all day Sunday the scene of the
ruins was visited by thousands of the curl
Gus from all the country for twenty miles
around. The roads seemed like a caravan,
and the place like a Fair ground. Most ex-
travagant stories were told, but what we have
given above may be relied upon. We state
only what we have good reason TO believe.
