Hawkeve, July8, Ono of tho most dostructive hurricanes that Lus visited tho Woatorn Btates for somo yoora awept over tho country adjacent to the quiot lit~ tlo village of Basco, in Bear Croeok Township, Hancocl Co., 1L, on Thursday ovening laat. Considorable rain had fallen during tho day, accompanied with froquont peals of thunder aud lightning flashes ; but toward night the sky sud- donly darkoned down to an almost inky black- ness, and about 7 o'clock p. m. s hugo storm ¢loud burst over a farm situated somo two miles duo west of tho Burlington & Quincy Railrond track, - Immodintely the wind roso with a torrifio swoop upwards and commonced to olrolo, talingin o BWath of over 800 yards in width, Dirootly in ita course, ono-half mile onst of the starting point, steod tho houso snd barn of Jucob Boos, Tho root and uppor, portion of tho houso wero forn off and hurled soveral rods away, while tho barn, {n which wore stalled throo horses, and four or fivo tons of hay, was lifted clear of the foundation, and, .incredibleas it may soom, carriod by the whirlwind to & Leight of not less thon 200 foot in mid-sir. The horso ntnudln}; in tho contro stall was, by some atrangs freak of tho raging olomont, singled out and tlrown headinng into a grove, distant over twen- ty rdds from the farm-yard, and instantly killed. The othor two fell from o less height square upon their backs, but wore found alive, and, al- tlmufih soveroly injurod, aro likely to recover. ‘The bam itself was torn board from board, in ploces, and scattored brosdeast over the flelds, 1ninus tho hly' of which no trace hna sincobeon discovered. T'wonty-acrea of Bgmin belonging to Mr. Boos were also desiroyed ; & portion of his_housohold furnituro smashed, his loss will rezch to couu(dnmb(y £1,000, ‘ho grove montionod us located fn tho neigh- Dborhood of hig place was complotely dovastated, many of tho trees Loing torn up by tho roots, and othors broken in two or at thie top. Hero amongst tho fallon timber woro found the ra- mning of soveral ogricultural imploments be- longing to Mr. Boos, who nssorts that ho saw thom carried aloft .and tossed through the air like fonther-woights at the commoncement of tho storm. Further on tho house and barn of II. Stoffay wero simllarly visitod, and the stablo of Ar. Kuomy thrown to the ground. A wagon of Mr, Bteffoy's waa subsequently found somo distance ofl,l lying in fragmonts and rendered utterly usolods, One of the moat curious traits of the hurri- cnno was the stylo in which tho iron work of all the agricultural machinas destroyed wero twist- ©d, bont, and broken. Nothing soomed to with- atand tho fury of the tompost in tho slightost degreo. Hoavy posts sank two feot and & balf in tho solid ground were wrosted from thoir Flncua and cast up, whilst post fences many rods n longth wore displaced and complotely over- turned. Varying romowhat from the casterly dircction in which it bad hithorto kept, tho wind next swopt over the residenco of John Saundorson, lifting it from its position and whirling it bigh {nthe air. Mrs. S8aundorson, who was in tfio house with hor two childron alone at the time, was thrown out, and found aftorwards sovoral hundrod yards away from the formor site of hor houso lying under a Sflo of rails, with one' log mashod to o jolly, and suffering fearfully from the offects of her wouuds. Ono of her children was found doad, a_short way off, and tho othor with both logs broken. Thoy wore at once ro- moved to tho Dasco Honse, but neither Mrs, Baundorson or the surviving ohild are expeatod to revover. Mr. 8aunderson, who had beon standing about & hundrod yarda wost of his house when ‘it woa carriod off, waa struck on the hend byaflying log and rendered sousologs, as was also a noigh- bor who happened to be glanding by him at the moment, o & A brick houss belonging to Mr, Robert Donald- son was badly wrocked, the roof being blown off, and ono of the gables atove in. Furthor enst the house and barn of Mr. Jesse Huft woro blown down, and the roofs and tim- bors torn to shrods. Mrs, Huff and_children, at tho firat alarm, took refuge in tho cellar, and, by doing =0, in ali probability saved thoir Lives. Noxt camo tho dwolling. of Mr. Geo. Aden, which, liko tho roat, wont down beforo tho de- vouring eloment, A large bridge on the rond running north of tho village was caught up in the hurricano, and sent ciroling through the air, froo from its fostonings, thus leaving the ro impnasablo to teams. A large barn belonging to Judge Bkinner, of Quinoy, was blown down, and a dwolling-houso sitting on the same prop- erty was moved five feot from its original posi- tion, the plaster on the insido walls completely nlrigpod off, and tho ground flooring crushed ju- to tho form of an angle. We undorstand that Judge Bkinnor's loss is estimated at $2,800, Bwecping on, tho storm noxt enconnterod tho houso of Mr, John Huff, which shared a similar fato with its predecessors, Tho sceno prosentod by the track of the atorm was one of desolation and distress. Mingled with the prostrate fences lay woather- boards, shingles, fragments of furniture, articlos of olothing, broken eaddles, wheals, harness, and innumerable other things, which told the eye of devastatod houses and ruinod property at a singlo glance.
