Cona derable rain had fallen during the

others injured. A latgo group of troe? was
conip'elcly uprooted. Tim atorni passed on
eastward destroying farm houses, In-us, and
in fact everything in its pith. At Wells the
sidewalks woio overturned, store fronts

survivors oi\tlio storm, and ih.s '..n- -
be gatbei e i Irotii widely separated point-.
From all the reports a* ba ><l so fir, tlu>
loss of life will probably reach lil'tv. ami
the list of the injured will tun into the
hundred*. No estimate of the j ruperty
loss can he maile, anil all that can ho snot
ot it is tha' ii wi 1 undoubtedly run into
seven figures. The town of Wells, in Faribault
county, serins to have .-utleiid ??.: ?;-4
feter-ly from tho st"!iii. it is reported
that fifty persons were killed in that village
alone, hut tin-e reports are probably exaggerated
'1 he storm is describe I bv an
eyewitness as a cloud ot midnight blackness
?a boiling, seething mass, going in an easterly
direction.
It was in Faribault county that tho loss
of life principally occurred. The afternoon
li id been Milt'y mid dense - overhanging
clouds ttreuie I almost to touch the ground,
while not a breath id' air stirre I. baler a
heavy downpour of rain set in, an I at
about o'clock, preceded by w ind from
the northwest, a huge lunno.-shaped c'oiid
was noticed by people ivihg west of We Is.
It advanced rapidly, with a loud, roa'irg, |
grind'iig sound, and lir.-l t mclicd the earth |
near Jacks .ii, two miles we.-t of .Sherburne.

Sherburne, ?.va:- torn to pieces by tho cyclone I *
Mi-s Mngie O'llare, tho teacher and all the j i
pupils, sixteen iu number, were seiiously

Wherever a building was destroyed it was ^
so lo'ttlly and utterly demolished that not a
vestige of it was left. Trees and telegraph i
poles wero broken olT or twisted out of j

The path of the storm was strewn with
machinery, clothes, pieces of furniture,
wagon wheels, care of coro, nud every

This is only a sample of the storm, ns it
was probably f? py miles in eatem. It was

AS A >1 AM I ACri 1USU SITK.
Lisily we cemo to consider tlie Shoals as
a manufacturing site. Tlio only reason thai
the water power at this placo has never becu
utilized for tituruifiictuiMig purposes, is the
want of traosportaiion. Several efforts have
been ma lo within tlto last few years to obtain
Railroad o iiituiiiiicutions, all of which
Wjio futile. Tiiis scribe has hteu told by
those who were cotivc sunt with the facts,
that the Senators from Chester, York and
Union always hi ttrly opposed any scheme,
winch would give l.i'ckhart Sh >als Railroad

iciieine on hand at the present time, known I
is the Capo Fear and Cincinnati Railway

Now, as to the natural advantages. The j
devel pe I horse power at these Shoals is f n
nply immense. It is fo'd, and hns been i \
ilteu by every engineer that has examined i
a? ShoaN. that tlio advantages of this ) c

1 is the case it will be rather late t> plant
again, so the principal corn crop on these
' stream*, at least will more than likely he a
failure this year, which will be very discouraging
to owners of bottom laud*. Tito
crops geuorally aro growing very fast, and
are in good condition, but fair weather with
the ground stirred often, would bo innch
better than so much vain, aud then the wheat
and oat crops ore being harvested and tho
rainy cloudy wouther is very damaging to
those crops.
The teachers and patrons of tho High
