A Terrible Tornado.

Xinttom Persons Killed—A Village Destroyed. We noticed yesterday, on tho authority of a telegraphic dispatch to the Chicago papers, an awful and destructive tornado at tho lit-, tie village of Ellison, near Monmoth, Illinois. We find in the Chicago Press of Wednesday a detailedaccount, derived from an eye-witness, of the occurrence, which ■ays that fourteen persons were killed instantly and that five more died the next d&y—’making nineteen killed so far. S-optc six or seven more are thought to bo fatally injured, and the deaths resulting from this tippalling catastrophe will "probably reach twenty-five. A very large number of persons were injured mbre or lesa. severely. One report says the number is near a hundred. ~ Another puts it at fifty. The village contained some sixty or seventy houses, mostly frame, ranged, as is usual in Western villages, along a single straight street, and every one was destroyed, except three sheds or shanties a little south of the line of the tornado. The population of the place is estimated to have been -between four and five hundred. The town lies about five miles ■outh of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, in Warren-county. It is.twelve miles from the county seat, Mon moth, t.wefi- j ty-five miles from Galesburg in Knox cqun-1 ty, and sixteen miles east of the Mississippi j It* lies in a prairie, with a small strip of | - timber near it. In this timber tho tornado! first made its power felt. The appearancei of the rising storm is thus given by the ac-i count:

Sunday was showerythroughout the day. As the afternoon waned, giving tho appear-i ance as noted at Monmoth by our intelligent j informant, the sky to the southwest had t most threatening appearance. A heavy bank of clouds of inky blackness seemed to rest upon the very surface of the prairie. In tho language of John McWilliams, who is elsewhere referred to as a relative of several of tho victims, and as active in his exertions for the relief of the survivors, "they * { seemed to sweep the very prairie.” Mr. j McWilliams noted the approach of the storm from his farm house, about a mile north of j of the street. ■g'. He saw two threateningly black clouds! meet apparently about a mile west of the j village, with the wildest commotion, and move on toward the village. The utmost alarm filled the minds of his own family, and of those in adjacent farm houses, but how much loss than the abject terror of-the villagers, who saw, but not in season to avoid the destroyor bearing down upon them. Than to those dead, the dread angel never came in a more fearful form; than to the spared victims of the casualty, not the hour of their own decease can scarcely be more awful. The track of the tempest must tell the rest. The tornado struck the village about half-past five o’clock, and during its continuance no rain fell. The effects of the storm arc indicated by such facts’ as the following: The appearance of the dwellings* and structures, after the passagfTof the- whirl- ' wind, is described by one eye-witness “as if one should tear to pieces and scatter a lumberyard.” Of roofs and walls,“and the various structures, there was seen, in many instances, scarcely a trace, as if a giant’s ; hand had reduced and torn them to shreds’ and splinters. They lay scattered over the fields. Here a piece of broken furniture and there* a shattered door, and beyond anundistinguishable mass of timbers and boards, floor-beams, ceiling and rafters. Even the bodies “of tome of the sufferers were lorn to pieces.

A* an evidence of the fearful force of the ! tornado, it is mentioned in the telegraph: from our special reporter last evening that; .of the victims, fragments of the bodies were ' •eattered in all directions. An iron safe, weighing nine hundred i pounds, was taken from Johnson's store rind 1 , carried thirty feel. - v Horses, cattle and hogs were token up by the wind, carried" in the air, and dashed to the earth, killed by the fall. One cow was taken up, carried several, rods, and killed by the fall. Her body lay at a distance from anything tha t could have • inflicted wound or injury upon her. A heavy cut, stone door-step, the dimensions »f which are given to us os being some ■even feet long by three in w idth, and several inches in tjricknesm, was torn from its site and carried* f more than if* length, or about twelve feet.

The surface covered by the storrn is not! definitely stated, but it did not much evened a quarter of a mile in breadth, and time of its continuance is said to have been only fifteen minutes. The - following incident will show aopiething of the horrors of the occurrence: » , Among the dead are 8 Mr. John Hand, his •08, about ten years of age, and a babe, the letter of whom is supposed to have been throw Bed. The whole family appear to have been whirled, with the fragments of their dwelling, quite up into the ajr and deposited a considerable distance from where the house stood, near a slough. Mr. Hand was carried about fifteen rods, and in his terrible flight, received a frightful wound in hi« side

from- a timber. He survived till the next morning. Mrs. Hand had her ififant in her arms when she struck the ground, but the concussion compelled her to let go her hold upon it, and it was tossed some distance into the slough, where she heard its cry, but owing to her severe injuries, wts unable to attempt its rescue. These she Remained all night, her person partly, in tho waterj and in tho course of its dreary watches, the dead body of her infant was drifted to the shore, and she had it in her armp when discovered in the"morning. The names of the killed, so far as known,j are John Hand, son and baby, os above stated; JMary Ann McWilliams! her sistpr Hannah and brother Thomas; W! E. Thompson, his wife and child; Mrs. Br.iizleton ami two children; Martin Wentworth, Levina j Lacey, Hiram Johnson and child. Two] other persons were- killed whose names are] unknown. '.‘ - 1 Assistance was senUdown to the suffering village at once by the people of 'Monmouth.! Knowing that the people of TMliston had; lost everything they possessed, ejven to their' Wearing apparel,.except what tljfcey had on',! the citizens *of Monmouth, with praise-' worthy benevolence, on Tuesday morning: started several teams laden with: provisions, j bedding, clothing and other necessaries, to their relief. The movement wal a spontaneous one, suggested by the pressing exigency of the case, no formal consultation having been held, or committee slppfolnted. This is the most appalling and destructive tornado that ever occurred so fair north, we believe.

SfLEnmc i:;d Exokjioi's Chcich.—A letter from St. Petersburg says: “ Isaac’s Church, in tliis.Clty, h is just been completed after t hirty-t wo years’ labor. The construction of this building—bus cost immense sums, as large quantities of gold,' -marble, malachite and jasper have been employed in it; The frescoes are frbm the pencils of Bruni, Neff, Bassin an 1 Steuben-. The inauguration of the church-will take place very shortly, and on the occasion nine hundred singers ujn assist in the service. The church cnn.Tonvenientlv accommodate six thousand persons.” , 03rThe Norwich (Conn..)~Ccti*ter gives an account of a naan/harried'»Harlan Hyde, whose wife died about a year"ago, who lately dug her up, broke her Coffin, at: d'took from the mouth of tile-corpse n set of false teeth for the sake pf the gold plate or which the teeth \yere on. . f

FAs little daughter came running to her aunt one day, saying, ‘'Aunt Kate,’ little Mattie has svyallowed a button!” Seeing her terror,,her aunt caltr ly replied: “Well, what good witjl that do lie.r 1 ” said the child very seriously, “Not any good a? I see, unless she swallows a button hole." O-dr-'M ister will you lend pa your newspaper’ he only wlints to send it to hi* uncle in the country.” “Oh, certainly; and ask your father if he will lend me the roof of his Itouse; I only want the shingles tT> make the tea-kettlo boil. • . . OdT’A fire is raging in the near Millville in New Jersey, which has trine a great deal of damage, and will do -still more. It, has burned a district of seven miles in width, and appears to ho just afe little disposed to go out as ever. Ct7~A jury at Taunton, Mass., the other day, being unable to agree in a bertain case where a man was accused of. stealing $2,50 worth of nails reported that they were willing to pay for the nails, and let the prisoner go. “ 1 (pA“The Oregon, at its last session divprced sixty couples, i.
