'An Jlwful Tornado On Sunday af ternoon our City was visited by a terrific tornado, which came nearer the descrip tions given of those in the West Indies than any that we have ever before seen Its course was about a mile and a half long and not more than twenty yards wide. It had been raining all day, but ce-ised between three and four o'clock, when a dark funnel shaped cloud was ob served in the South-west. There was lit tle or no wind at the time, but the storm, came down upon us suddenly with a mighty rush. Striking first the premises of Mr. Sylvester Smith, it prostrated trees and fences, dashing them by its ro tary motion in all directions; thence it passed to B. F. Moore's, Esq., tore down a stable on the lot of the late Huffm Tuck er, leveled the chimney and blew in the sashes of the Standard Office and with in creasing fury struck the beautiful resi dence of Mrs. Eliza Taylor. There, where all was but a moment before a pa radise of beauty, it left nothing but deso lation; her beautiful green house, one ol the finest in the place, is now a complete wreck, from the falling of a chimney on thc roof, and flourishing shrubs in her yard are leveled with the earth. It pass ed next to the Peace buildings, on Fay etteville Street, tearing the tin off the roof and whirling it through the air with terrific force and velocity pieces of it were picked up at the distance of half a mile.
