Yous’s, &e. T, is fuppofed to have begun in Spencer, about a "8 Mile and half, or not excceding two Miles near §, W. from Mr. David Lyede's, at the laft Heofe in icefler, next 1 ¥ Spencer.— The main Force of the .’ngd feems. to have been confined tc about the Breadth of 40 Rods ; but little Effects of it’s Violence to be ilcovered without that Exteat, during its whole Courfe, which continued with the utmoft Viclence from S. W. to N. E. near about fix Miles from the beft Accounts yet come to Hand. The greateft Damage known to be done by 1t, was, at David Lynde’s Houle, which ftood opento the S. W. direkly in the Wind's Cour{e.— Immediately upon the' Wind's ftriking the Houfe with all it’s Force, and before the People (12 in Number) had Time to thut the Doors ; but endea- vouring to doit, it was in an [oftant taken up, and carried off, leaving nothing bekind but the Cil's and part of the lower Floor, and the Feople init, moftly hurled away — Two or three were found lying on that part of the lower Floor that were left behind, and in the Cellar Way : Thofe that were carried off with the Building were fcattered and dropt at differeat Dif- tances round where the Houle flood : A-young Girl was found at the Diftacce of 30 or 40 Rods in the Woeods, with her Collar Bone broke, and fome grown Perfons at 6 or 8 Rods diftance. The ftrongeft Tim- k.ors of the Heufe are rent and /plit ta pieces as though by Lightning. Some parts oi she Houfe, and fome of the Cloathing were carried five Miles diftance, and fome papers taken up at 8 Miles.— For near half a Mile from where the Hoafe ftood in the Courfe of the Wind, the Ground is firewed with thé fhivered pieces of the Houfe ; ard Multitudes are flicking in the Ground, 'till you cometo a pond, that is covered with the Ruins of the Houfe and Furniture ( a few {mall Articles only of the latter, have as yet been found ) full halfa Mile diftant from the place it flood on. So faras I followed the Ruins I could not find one Piece of Timber whole, or one Board but what was {plit to Peices of the whole Building ; befides 5000 of new Boards taken out of the Yard, all which were ftove into Shivers unfit for any Ufe.—The Pew- ter, Iron Pots and Kettles cannot,be found at all, except one Plate, one Difh and one Iron Pot—Some of the Beds that were found, were hanging on high Trees at a Diftance—Nails that werein a Cafk in the Houle, were drove with fuch Force into diftant Trees, as not eafily ta be drawn by the-Strength of a Man’s Fingers —Large Trees taken up by the Roots Thoufands of them—Apple- T'rees in the Orchard adjoining taken up and brought nighto the Place where the Houfe ftood—A heavy Log, more than 2 Faet Diameter, in which hung a large Grindftone, taken and carried over - the Wall into the Garden—One of the Spars of the Houlfe carried into a Neighbour’s Houfe about 50 Rods and ftruck off the Cap of his Door, and beat a Hole into the Houfe. The Timbers of the Houfe were car- ried with foch Foree into the &%, that when they fell fome were found fticking 2 Feet or z and ‘a half in the Ground.—Not only the Houfe, but the Barn and all the Out Houles are entirely demolifhed : And tho’ the Manner of their Demaolition is fingular and very ex- traordinary ; yetit is very remarkable, that out of 12 Perfons flying among the Wrecks of all thefe Buildings but one fhoald be yet dead ; a Negro, taken up after it was all over, his Thighs, Back acd Arms broken, and who prefently expired in extreme Mifery : *Tis tho't he was in tne Chamber when the Gale took the Houfe, and was hurled in an almoft contrary Diretion from the Courfe of the Wind, near 8 Rods—The Man of the Houfe dangeroufly hurt—A Child was taken dut of the Ruins alive ; and 'tis remarkable, that the Stones and Rubbifh with which it was farrounded and covered, were fituated in fuch a Manner as tho’ done by Art.—Diverfe of the Perfons in the Houfe, efcaped with little or no hurt, tho’ it is hardly poffible to con- ceive how they fhould efcape an immediate Deftruéti- on, fach was the fudden and amazing Ruin of the - Houfe where they were.—Two Horfes were Kkilled ; one ftanding at the Door, another in the Pafture at fome Diftance from the Houfe :—OId Logs of z or 3 Feet Diameter, lying in moift Land ‘and confiderably funk in the Ground, were rolled out of their Beds, and carried Rods before the Wind ; {o large and heavy that 6 or 8 Men could hardly have rolled them over with Leavers—There was a moft amazing Noife attending this Tempelt, which lafted not more than 2 or 3 Mi- nutes in all. —The Neighbours fay, the Earth feemed to tremble, and fuch a unufual Motien in the Clouds and Heavens, as tho® they were falling on the Earth ; at- tended with Rain and an Egyptian Darknefs.— Limbs of Trees, Mud, Dirt and pieces of Fences were flying in the Air, and clathing tegether ; which thofe at a lit- tle Diftance and out of the Wind could perfeitly ob- ferve. There is no otherBmlding that fell {o dire&t- ly in the Centre of the Force of this Gale, that has been heard of ; fo that 'tis poffible it began to abate foon after it pafled this Houfe.———1It is evident from the twiting of the Trees and the fhattered pieces of the Building, which lay all round every Way, that it was a Whirlwind, or that it run in a Sort of Eddy, tho’ keep- ing nigh a firait Courfe.—A full Account cannot yet be given, as no body has followed it thro’ it's whoje Caourfe.—This may ferve at prefent, in the room of a fuller Account, which itis to be hoped fome perfon will take the pains to favour the public with.
