Polly Jones under which were sheltered seven I bead of cattle and horses, all of which escaped except one fine Jersey cow which was 1 killed. A buggy was under the shed and completely demolished. The next dip made lifted the roof off the barn ot Mr. P. H. Mcllwaln, and coming on In a southerly direction lilted several rafters I from tbe new house of Mr. Chapman. . The wind was from northeast to southwest, , blowing with a twist and very severe lor a < Bliort time, and seemed from the damage done to be confined to a narrow strip of not more than one hundred yards In width. < The air was charged with electricity, while * th* thunder came In sharp peals.
