The air assumed a thickj^iilphurious smell, nnd the electriccurrent could be plainly seen andheard snapping like gun-shots."]$oipe observers were near the houseof ä man named Harris, and we aretold that "they saw Harris' residencedrawn in the vortex of the cloud com¬

musl have been fyr froqi agreeable,and, indeed, it is not easy to under¬stand how they could subsequentlyhave been iu a condition to tell theirbtory. The line of the tornado is de¬scribed as extending from Lcc's Sum¬mit to Blue Springs. Throughout thetrack great trees have been "wrench¬ed olf like pipestcms, ponderous rockshurled hundreds of yards, all vegeta-lion burned and blackcnctj, fenpesand houses scattered everywhere, deadcattle aud other stock scattoved iuprofusion in horribly mangled mass¬es." The account of the slate of theunhappy persons who were killed ismore striking. All the bodies werecovered with thick, bluish, sulphu¬rous mud. The clothing was strippedoff and torn to shreds. Shoes weretorn off, and the bodies burned andbinckcued5 Tearfully, {Jqrsos, cattleand hogs were caught up on Mr. Har-rib'S phtcc, and carried long distancesarid dropped crushed out of all shape.At intervals the cyclone would aban¬don the earth and riot at a greatheight in the air; but anon would de¬scend agn'n to the earth aud set toits work of destruction with ten-foldf iry.
