Between S and 9 o'clock, yesterday,

on the South side of the Christiana,

'"g vines, passed thenee into Henry
L. Towasend's wheat fields,' and appeared
to gather strength at it - went, for as ft
parsed the wheat field, it snapped off
three pannels of fence and then struck a
large ' brirk barn, and pasod around it
to a large' hay barn, a building 104 feet
long. Here it commenced the work of
destruction in earnest. It tore the build
ing to pieces, and leveled the 'Vefy' foun
dation walla on which it was built. -It
next ' struck a wheat barn about
sixty feet long by twenty wide, and
completely " demolished it. - Thence it
passed to a wheat barrack, no portion of
which,' except the uprooted posts, has
since been seen. ; f" J
It next struck a granary solidly bnilt
of heavr white oak. The buildinsr was
too stonf to be torn to pieces , but it lift
ed it off its foundations, moving it several
feet, and then npset a corn crib adjoining
it, smasing beneath it a grain drill and a
sleigh.
- It also destroyed one or two other
small buildings, aud tore up several
large trees by the roots, and split in two
a large locust tree standing near the
house. ; ' '' '
One of the most singular and fortunate
things about the whole affair is that it
passed completely around the house,
without doing it the slightest damsge, or
injuring anything within the home ' en
closure except the locust tree just men
tioned, r .. - '
Some of the performances seem almost
like the fantastic freaks of a sportive
genii. The back barn, first struck, was
not injured otherwise than by tearing off
all of its doors, but one of these doors, a
large one, which it would require four
men to carry, was carried up iuto the air,
whirled about like a sheet of paper.
One of the grain fans standing in the
granary moved by the wind, was upset
and its hopper was taken off and carried
quite a distance and dropped in front of
the house.
A sixteen foot board was deposited in
the top of a cherry tree. The rake of a
revolving horse rake was picked up, car
ried some distance, broken in two in the
middle, and the two halves hung on two
pins on the granary.
It snapped the iron axle f a new
style horse rake off at the hub.
But the most remakable feature of the
whole affair was that, .though twenty cat
tie were buried beneath the ruins of the
large hay bam first demolished, they all
escaped without any serious injury. In
many cases they were pinned closely to
the ground by the debris, but as fast as
the wreck was lifted from them they got
out of the wilderness of confusion around
them with whole skins and sound limbs.
The property was owned by Zadoe
Towneeud and ocenpied by bis eon, H.
L. Towntend. The latter with remar
kable good fortune, escapes all loss but
but that of the sleigh. Had the cattle
uot escaped his loss would have been
very heavy. His father is the principal
loser, but says that as most of the build
ings were quite old, and all would have
had to be moved before long to make
way for the extension of city improve
ments in that direction, he only estimates
his loss at 81,000.
In compauy with Mr. Townsend, sr.,
we rode over the track of the tempest
this morning. We never taw a more com
plete or thorongh wreck. The buildings
were so completely torn up that it seem
ed that there was scarcely one piece of
timber left fastened to another. ' The
hurricane spent its fury there, and seems
to have divided up into several smaller
ones, which damaged a tree here and
there, and then subsided.

On the north side of the Christiana,
shortly after the ravages of. the hurricane
on the south side, a whirlwind suddenly
seized two large willows trees near the
light-bouse, tore them up by the roots,
and hurled them against the light-house,
completely demolishing its porch. We
believe it did no further damage WiU

Another method has been found to

A farmer cut down a tree which stood
so near the boundary liue of his farm
that it was doubted whether it belonged
to him or his neighbor. The neighbor,
however, claimed the tree, and prosecuted
for damages the man who cut it. The
case was seut from caurt to court. Time
was wasted, temper soured, aud friend
ship lost ; but the case was finally gained
by the prosecution. The last heard of
the transaction was that the man who
gained the cause went to the lawyer's
office t( execute a deed of his whole
farm, which he had been compelled to
sell to pay his costs. Then, houseless
and homeless, he thrust his hands into
bis pockets and triumphantly exclaimed,
