Lawrence Sk.y of the Kplxcopal Church at Merrit-ton arrived by the steamer Lakeside jmuvUy morning to tneue an apieal to the cltbtene of loronto and elsewhere to aolh.U help for the people rendered home Ihi and doKtltute by the tornado. Mr.

Iikey was an eye witness of the storm. Standing just outside the little village, be watched the funnel-shaped olond paramo Its way, leaving death and destine tlon behind. Whatever It touched it lifted Into the air and carried with It. The I'resbytarlan Churoh was totally wrecked; the tower of the Church of England will need rebuilding; the root of the school was taken off and the walls fell in. The Lincoln mill was gutted Some twenty-four houses were totally destroyed and the damage will amount to 1100,000.

One house, occupied by Mrs. Richard Thompson and her two daughters, Lillie and Katie, agod 8 and 11 vuars respectively, was taken np Into the air, carried a roes the rood and landed In a field. None of the occupant were killed, but all were Injured. Cows were carried con thlrrable distances. Great trees were uprooted and sent burling against the houses.

Hoys hid in ditches from the awful storm, while men lay proae upon the ground, clutching at the roots of trues for safety. After the tornado had jiassed away Mr. Skcy avers that the scene of desolation presented a pitiful spectacle. Women sat amid the wreckage of their homes weeping, while the tnen, stunned by the disaster seemed bowllder by the misfortune. The homes destroyed are chiefly those of the working people of the factories, whoso small savings of a lifetime have all been invested in their homes.

The loss is totally uncovered, us na Insurance applies, which woulil bo the case had the disaster been caused by fire, The people are homeless and utterly unable, unassisted, to build again before winter time. Mr. Sk'iy appeals particularly to the working classes to prolTer assistance, anl donations can be sent to Stephen 1L llraillcy, Reeve of Meritttou; Richard tT.uk, Town Clerk; Rev Theodore 1 arr, pastor of the Methodist Church; Rev, F.

The storm raged high upon the lake Monday afternoon, but the wind was of such short duiation that, so far known, no mishaps occured. The Chlcora was eight miles from her moorings, making Toronto, Monday afternoon, when tue storm struck her.

The hail tell in great quantities, the rutn came down in torrents, then the wind wept around Iron) the northwest and blew a hurricane for ten minutes, after which the heavy clouds rolled away and the stortn was over.

X.Y., Sept. 28. Tha damage done here by the wind and hailstorm that creuted such havoc and disaster along the frontier, was small. The storm was about played out when it reached here. Hothouse windows were broken, and the stained glass of the dome of the Silhetr.org block was peltod in.

At Niagara Falls, the violence of the storm was terrific. Hailstones weighing over an ounoo, and measuring nine inches In circumference, foil. The storm broke with great suddenness, and the horses In the street were stung and frightened by the chunks of iue. and several runaways occurred. In the northern section of this State the hailstones that- fell averager! 64 inches In ctrsunifcrence, and weighed about three-quarters of an ounce.

The damage to the fruit cion in the fruit-growiug district north of here Is great. ApDles were pounded from the trees as though with clubs, and the pears and plums full in large quantises. From all the counties along the lake shore come reports of great damage, what fruit was not knocked off by the hall was whipped off by the wind. When the storm reached till city the wind had nearly died out, but from the mills iu the lower district could be seen the tetrible woYk of devastation going on in Canada. It was at first reported that a waterspout was taking place, but lator it was learned that wh.it wj at first taken for a waterspout was the funnel -shaped cloud of the tornado that swep.

His was a wonderful experience. He threw no his arms and was unable to get them down again. His body was rigid and he was carried in the whirlpool, as he calls It, clear over the Lincoln paper mills and deposited iu the fiald beyond, suffering nothing but a bruised shoulder. A queer freak of the storm was noticed in the burying of shingles In the hard sod, leaving just enough to pull them out.

Whole sections of sidewalks were thrown bodily Jong distances, and the peculiarity of the force exerted was shown In the simple knocking out of a corner of the steeDle of Sit. James Church, while buildings adjacent were reduced to rubbish.
