BEAKS" OF But little of the, furniture of Mr. Chum- bley's house could, he except in minute particles. The field opposite the toll house was Etrewn for hundreds of yaids with the wreck of what had but re cently been a happy home. A blanket waB found over two miles off, and a shoe on which Mr. C.

was working when he was killed, fell at least a mile and a half distant. The survivors are left utterly destitute. DIRECTION IT WENT. From the Franklin Pike the tornado putsued a z'z zag course, but ranging in a northeasterly direction for about five miles; Its path varied in width from 300 yards to a mile and a half. Hardly a tree or a fence- its terrible advance.

The largest oaks were snapped at Ihe thickest part of the trunk. and the fiells were strewn with limbs and branches. After levelling the house pc; cupied Mr. Jis. Edrotindson, as men tioned below, the Angel-of -Destruction disdained to touch the earth forsome distance, but near Ihe Nolensvllle Pike he again descended, left the mark of his wanh, crossed' the pike, yented his fniy lor the last time on the habitations of men, and was beard of no more.

Such a terrible visitation was never experienced in Tennessee, nor per haps in tho South, before. In following the trail of the hurricane, we ascertained the following losses JAMES O.

A poi tion of the house, but recently erected, was blown down, and the timbers scattered in every direction. The fences were also leveled wi the ground.

One of the most remarkable features of the it-jrm, and one which seems almost incredible, is the fact that about one acre of earth was here blown or torn up to the depth of Eix or eight inches and carried off. w. A. DAVIS'. Before reaching the house of Mr.

W. A Davis it became evident that the storm had visited him with all its fury. Trees bad been uprooted and tossed about id every direction, and fences anil outhouses paitially or whol'v destroyed. Most of ihe windows and window blinds were broken. Th? china-Wora wa3 bl iwn out of the cupboard through the jors and windows, and broken in pieces The house itEelf, beyond the blowing down of chimneyp, wa3 not materially damaged.

The ou'hjuses, however, were entirely or nearly so. The house of Mr. Scruggs, who had been living on Mr. Davis1 farm, was a complete wreck. Fur niture, clo ting, and all they pos-s ssed, was cither destroyed or blown en'irely away, leaving the family perfectly destitute of every thing.

Mrs. Scruggs was found ing in Ihe rear of the sitting-room, under one of the logs of the house, with her clothing torn completely off. Sie received some piinfnl bruises, and cuts about the head and face." Mr. Davis' barn was a new one, measuring 64 by CO feet. This was lifted up by ihe force of the wineL and turned five feet oft its foundation.

The hay and fedder were all blown away. A portion of the cornice of the bam was found two nvles off. A negro, who wa3 in the tarn. hearing the storm approaching, started to leave, but was knocked down and caught by falling rafter. Upon beiDg extracted by Mr.

Bumham he ran from the bam, when he was caught up by the wind and carried to the bight of about 200 yards This was the last seen of him. range as it may seem, it is given to us as true by several very reliable persons who witness ed this feat of the tempest AmoDg other incidents at Mr. Davis' we may mention that black birds were, killed by being blown against ihe house. Two or three heavy grindstones were blown to a con sidcrablc distance, and the frames are still unheal of. Tue vegetables in his gar den were lorn up by the roo's, and his garden wholly destroyed.

A portion of the toll-gate on the Frank least miles YHs'ant) made its (way to Mr. Davis'. The rocker of a cra dle was also fuund, perhap; the same in which the infant child of Mr. Chumbley had been hoine away. A dress ed stone one foot square was buried in his wheat field where it came from is unknown.

The sickle of a reaper, wbjch was Bitting in his hall, was carried the distance of two hundred-yards, and buried under a heavy piece of timber. Fowls of every description went tn tbe wings of the wind to parts unknown. Within an hour afTer the storm had subsided the friends and neighbo a of Mr. Davis came to him, offering every assistance in their power. We found about one hundred hands employed in doing what they.could to rep iir the damiges ciused by the storm.

Whilst this incident plainly illustrates the regard in which Mr. Divis is held by those among whom he lives, it is highly creditable to those who offered him" aid in this his hour 'Of need. Mr. Davis' loss is not less thaa. A wagon weighing 1,900 pounds and loaded with 125 cedir rails was forced 100 yards up a steep hill Of a heavy four horse wagon only one wheel was left.

A heavy wheat thresher, weighing over two lifted up by the force of the hurricane, kept suspended for at least two seconds, and turned completely over.

W. Phillips, her nephew, states that he entered the house about twenty minutes before the storm came up. The clouds wore a yellowish He felt convinced that a tornado was at band, and, for security, went to Ihe cellar. There were in the house at the time Mrs, Phillips, her two daughters, Eon, nephew and two grandchildren, all of whom save one of the young ladles were down stairs. The storm lasted but a minute.

After it had passed, his attention was directed to the cries of one of the grandchildren (threey ears old', whom he discovered covered up with the Indiann and Illinois to Kentucky and Tennessee, The important dispatch was received here yesterday by one of the State Directory on the Edgefield, Nashville and Henderson Railroad Evaxsvillb, Ind May C.

The Herd rs'ou and Nishvllle Railroad bad had several adminis and had expei ded quite a large amount of money (Ihe value of the load being cstimati el at 700,000) and yet th-y never built single mile of road. Of course, the people of Evansville were cautious in making their 'subscriptions, but Ihey now feel confident the road will be built, and have come up maDfully to aid in its completion.

Nashville should have stock in this load in older to give her a voice la tho directory, and we hope some satisfactoiy arrangement can be made in oider to identify tbe city with the move ment, for this is emphatically a Tennessee and particularly a Noghville enterprise. We undeistand the rneichants of Hop Hinsyille have commenced trading in our market. Some large bil's of goods have already been shipped over the road from here. The enterprise is one of tho most important tq this eiliy yet undertaken, connecting, as it ultimately surely do, four gicat border States, and traversing the most productive, commercial and agricultural region of country, to say nothing of its importance as a great line of travel in the not disfaat future.

Five Uvea Known to Have Been lost Eth'opian Translation to known Sphere An tin- Extraordinary Freaks of the Whirl-: wind, Intelligence reached this city yesterday morning that a terrible tornado hid passed acroBS the Korthern portion of Williamson Coun'y, involving the des- truc'ion of property to the amount of many thousands of dollais, and what was ill worse the loss of several lives. We heard the reports canvassed free'y on thb streets, and were at first disposed to regard them as, at best, highly exag- gera'ed, but the subsequent Eta'ements of responsible men, who had just arrived from the scene of induced ub to infer that something out of the common order of nature hod really happened.

To see is to believe. One of the editors of this narjer accordingly made all haste to fill his pockets, with note paper, hired a. fast horse and pro'ceeled in the direction whence cama the woeful stotv. Leaving th? city by the Franklin pike wet reached "llie third toll-gate, twelve miles from Nashville, befori falling with the track or the tornado. Here was, the fiist heart rending scene In tho long panorama of death which we were des tined to follow.

Before us lay the ruins ol the house but few hours before oc cupied by the keeper End his fami'y. The tempest had literally, as a citizen who was standinj near remarked, ponyerted it into kindlint; wood. Not a stick or a stone was left upon another. On the opposite side of llie pike, as far as the eye could reach in a north easterly di rection, not a vestage of a fence was lo be seen, except a few scattering rails. T1TE FIRST WARSrad.

George Hughes, residing on Joseph Reagan's land, two mile3 southwest of the city, received the earliest fury of the tornado. How long the destructive ele ment had been lingering above the eatth is somewhat uncertain, but that it first descended in" the vicinity mentioned is gene rally agreed among those who took any interesl'in -watching ao" extra.ordinary a phenomenon. I's course, three hundred yams wide, lay through the heavies timber, yet 'mighty oaks were'snapped in twa'n likp pipe stems, and the' lordly beeches were uprooted for Shad rach Reed, who farms Lanty Johnson's land, had two of bis cribs unroofed, while much of timber was leveled with the earth. His ftneing disappeared in the air like a' flash, and was heard of no From this point the. whiilwind appears to have followed the hollows, prostrating every thing that came in its path," until it reaches the Franklin Pike, when its destructive effects became still more manifest.

DESTRUCTION OF THE TOLL HOUSE. From' Mr. W. McManus, who lives about two hundred yards from the toll house previously mentioned and who was on the spot immediately after its destruc tibn, we get the following interesting statement The name of the toll-gite keeper was Thomas Chumbley. He was a brother of your City MoT- shah Besides keeping the gate, he followed the trade of a shoemaker.

He had a wife and four children. On Wednes day evening I had been shearing sheep. The aspect of the weather in duced me to go home about 0 o'clock There was some thing altogether unusual and peculiar in the appeaiance of the clouds which created within me a fore boding for which 1 could not account They seemed to be approaching Irom dif ferent directions, as if for the consumma tion of some terrible castattrophe. I had just got inside my bonse when the tempest expended itself on the house c.f my neigh bor, abou! two hundred yards off. My own place had a narrow escape.

The tor nado passed, as it were, by the corner of the house. When I looked toward Chum- ley's the toll house had disappiared. I at once hastened in that direction, and found a terrible con jition of affaiis. HIS DEAD AND DYING. Not a post or plank was left in its place.

The house was literally a mass of 'serins, yet.lhe storm had not listed five minu'es. I first noticed that several cows' and hogs had been blown aga'n'st the stone fence on the opposite side of the pike, and seemed unable from lerroror exhaustion to move. The little girl, seven old, was crying and wringing her hands over her mother, who was lying with a large Blesper across her legs, terrib'y bruised from the shoul ders down. Mrs. Chumbley's dress had been torn from her person her risbandu were all that ws loft Of her under clothing I found only a few s'rips.

The lit- tlejgiil was bad'y, bat not seriously cut under the throat and About five feet to the left his wife lay Mr. Chumbley. This was not, you should remember, amoDg tbe ruins. Mrs. C.

was more than half way the pike, while Mr. C. had beervblown still fnithcr and was close against the stone fence. His face was horribly gashed up and his right arm was broken in two places, but death had evidently been caused by wounds in the skull and breast, which were frightfully crushed. -One of the children, a boy three years old, was found in the midst of a pile of bricks.

The chimney had fallen on him and only his face was to be seen. He was a mass of cuts and bruises. Atother boy, five years eld, was badly but not fatally lrjured. In addition to numerous cuts' and bruises, his sku'l was slightly fractured, yet ho was playing about to-day as if nothing had happened. Both of the boys were lying on their backs senseless when I found them, as was also Mrs.

C. -After looking for the baby, which was about one year old, I discovered it lying dead in the field across the pike at least a hundred yards from the site of the house with its skull, mashed, a bruise in the forehead and a deep cut under its chin. Of the cradle in which" it was lying when thd storm came on not a vestige was to be Been. It was then raining in torrents. worked for half an hour relieving the sufferers and then went for help.

I first called for aid but the wind was howling so fiercely that tho nearest neighbors could uot hear me. Mr. Rogers, Johnson, and two negro went with me to the scene of disaster. COSDITtOS OF THE WOUNDED. The dead man and infant as well as and her other three children wero taken to the house of Esq.

James Johnson, near by, who did all that lay in the power of a charitable and hospitable gentleman. Mrs. C. and her youngest- son are so seriously ipjured that there is but little hope of their recovery. The girl and; oldest" boy appear to be doing well.

A son.of lho went duwjto Columbia yesterday to see a brother of deceased and make arrangements for the funeral of the dead father and infant. All the family were "in the house when the yesterday, in the (face of wretchedly propitious weatner, witn a- larger delegation of ladies, indicating an in creased interest -in the progress, of the spring meeting. Although the skies promised in the morning, another drenching ram fell at noon, and filled the track with pools and slush. THE CUMBERLAND STAKE was first in the programme, won by Pat Mulloy who galloped over for the purse, his competitors paying forfeit. Pat Mul loy, as is well know, is a Lexington, dam Glohoria, by Eclipse.

He is universally pronounced the finest looking racer that has struck hoof to our turf for years, a beauti ful animal and a race horse from his fet locks to the lip cf his aristocratic ears. He is the property cf Mr. Frank Bissicks, a liberal and puhlic spirited pa'rbn of the turf and of thoroughbred stock. a MILE DASH, which was next in the order: of pro gramme, furnished the only sport of the day, and exceedingly ineagre sport at that. For this there were four nomina'ions, viz General Rousseau, 115 pounds; Franklin's Idolia, a Jack Malone mare, 101 pounds; Chicamauga, 110 and Maggie Hunter, from BUsick's stables.

AH four come to the Franklin's maro won the track, Maggie second, Chicamauga third and Rousseau outside, Magie having the best position for catching the advan' age at the first turn, owing to the. peculiar srraneament of the course. Before the etatt Rousseau was the favorite by considerable odda, and Maggie second choice. The horses got oil finely, Rousseau going smartly to the front and Maggie laying up to him in gallant style.

Some Folks Can't Sleep EigntH, VERT many suffer from general debility, others from wencss of tbe and inability to digesr. their food; some have creeping sensations along the nerve fiores, or pain, in the back, with aching and weary throbbing of the limbs. Thousands of ladles suffer through long yearn from what are called Female Complaints, caused by the relaxation or moicle and ligamen; that attend deficiency of vital force.

Thousand! of business men, overworked in mind andbly, use up the nervous flcid and become unlit forditf or the enjoyments oflife. Excesses iu youlh, and the terrible effects of fever and ague, Involve shattered constitutions and the failure of the general functions of health. To eaffercre from all these causes, Dodd'a Nervine and Invigorator Offers an invaluable boon a natural and efficient recovery of I oat powers. No person, man or woman, suffcilngfrom any cause, can afford to neglect this remedy. The Nervine will be found to posces an equalizing aud nutritive principle.

It allays irritation, and like sleep promotes the secretions of tho system. It has affinity for the Nervous Fibres, and supplies them fur the vi ute that la constantly taking place. Like wholesome food taken into the stomach, it undergoes rapid dlges- -tion, Invigorating in its process the digeftive organs, and producing a Calmness and Tranquility unknown to any other preparation. It contains no opium or hasheesh, and so far from producing cos tf ven ess it will be found an efficient cure for constipation, and has obtained a wide renown for this peculiarity. WTiat People Say.

"Dear Doctor. The last medicine prescribed by you I obtained, and wIU say that Dodd's Nervine and Invigorator Is all that It claims to be. I feel like a new man; tbe aching of my limbs is gone-1 Steep well: have good appetite; and feel stronger than I have for many years past." Contributed by Dr. IL A. Tucker, 259 Clinton street, Brooklyn, "I have used the Nervine, and find myself much benefitted by it, particularly lu the increase of streegthand cure 9f those trembling senBatluas.

My costlvoness also srema to be entirely cured." Letter to Dr. Tucker. "The medicine yon ordered (Dodd's Nervinc)wa have taken three bottles of. Ilia a great thing. My wife says she would rather have one bottle it than forty doctors.

She! 6 certainly bettor Leuchorrhaja cured; don'tfeel toe dragging down so move easier, and In better nervous condition every way." G. B. Martin Cashier Glenn House, Lorn? Branch, N. states that Dodd's Nervine has cured him of chronic weakness of the stomach, dizziness and sick headache, and greatly strengthened hia whole system-David Hartshorn. 399 State street, Brooklyn cired of chronic muscola- and nervous debility.

John Harbnt, Brooklyn, N. saya: regulate the bowels without producing cathartic tffect, quiet the Dcrves, and tone up the rottem, I have never used anything that equaled Dodd's Nervine. W. F. Deans.

Esa Eastford, "My ife has Buffered Tor seventeen years with extreme nervous debility and mentral prostration. She was induced by a friend to try Dr. J. W. Dodd's Nervine and Invigorator, and by its use is now restored to perfect health." Dr.

C. C. York, Charles town, 'Til cases of great nervous debility, not confined by any means to tho female sex, although from the greater delicacy of the female organization more common than among men, I employ Dodd's Nervine and Invigorator with the happiest effect. It ex cecds in tonic power' anything that I know of, while Its action upon the bowels Is ail that can be desired." jDodd'a Nervine end Invigorator is employed Ip the Massachusetts HocpItaTfor the Insane at Taan ton.

If it was the same breeze, it had not gathered its full force for the 6n $1 hng when it sweeping through Kentucky. It is described by the mo era' ai being the hardest and most terrific one that has visited that region for a long lime.

The rain prurod down in torrents, the thunder-'roaredj the lightning flashed and the very elements seemed to be at war with one another. Tee streets were floodeil, and at miny places impassable At the corner of First and the street was overflowed, the wjter reaching tho door step of the grocery at the northeast corner, and, in fact, Walnut Street, fiom Third to First, was impassible for some time for pedes, triacs. Third and Jefferson and many otherplaces a simiLr appear ance. Several houses were struck wiiu lightning in various parts of tbe city, and one pcrjoa, a laly, was s'ruek but.not se- riously injured. The Journal bsjs "the rain tf Tuesday and Wednesday was only suipassed in violence by the wind which accompanied it.

The wind, however, was excelled by the sha-pness of the lightning, and tbs.t in luin by the i ever-beraiion of the thunder. Taken alto gelher the wea'her phenomena s. cmedto presage a second edition of the deluge, as the sun was not permitted to ike his face visible long enough to us the rainbow cssurance th-it we were not about to be swept from the face of the carh. Special dispatches from Chicago also give particulars of a similar tornado at Illinois, and state tint the tire portion of the village was destroyed. Sixteen houses in a'L a school house, and the two churches which the village contained, were demolished.

Four persons were killed Mrs. Wood, Geo Venn, Harris Wilson and a Eon of Morli mer Page and fiom thirty-five to foiiy were wounded, many fat-illy. Several -fca'l stones, measuring ten inches in circumfer ence, were picked up after tho tornado had passed. A few evenings previous the town of Arlington, or Little Piney, on the line of the Southwc3t Branch of the Pacific Railroad, was visited by a hail storm almost as destructive. This storm came up from the south, with a limited range, accompanied with heavy thunder and viviel lightning, and driven enward by -a furious wind Amid torrents of rain come, of most por tenlious size, Eolid, haid as wintry ice, the stones ranging in weight from two to ten ounces.

They stormed down on the houses 'and streets of the town with frightful vio lence aud destructive effect. Not a house esc-ped having glass shattered and destroy ed. The windows of Ihe he lei were broken to pieces, even the sashes being broken by the heavy hail stones. The tools of all the dwellings were injured by tho fierce peltings of the hail. Some of the heavier masses literally dashed through two thicknesses of Hail-stones as large as a man's st, amid myriads of smaller ones, rallied down jr the space of twenty minutes, indenting boards, driving men, horses and cattle to such shelter as could be found, killing some of the smaller animals which cculd-find no screen fiom the furious and fatal storm." Tue citizens of the town took refuge in dwellings and stores, clustering in fright in the very canters, away from windows, which afforded ho guard agiinst the dashing hail.
