Twoaty-five of the congregation were hilied instantly, and a large number wounded. Numerous other buildings were unroofed, and blown down. ‘The Louisville papers of this morning contain full par- ticulars of ycsterday’s tornado. The Democrat describes it as one of the most violent that ever swept over that section. The Third Presby- terian Church, situated on the corner of Eleventh and Walnut streets, was completely wrocked—the entire building, including the roof, rafiers, and brick walls, fell in, causing the instant death of twenty-five of the Congregation, and seriously injuring ten or twenty others, The scene was heart-rending. Soon a large crowd aa- sombled, and began ther search for tho victims. A mother and her three children were first discovered Grouped in ceath. Another scene presented a father, mother and babe, the father dead, and the mother mor- tally wounded, while their little child, placed beneath them, escaped unhurt, being protected by the forms of ite pnrents. In other instances, some of the victims were found terribly braisea and maimed. The catastropho has stricken consternation into the very heart of the city, and its peop.c are appalled be- yond belief.

A splendid block of four story houses reeently erectol on the north side of Main, between eighth and Ninth streets, was completely destroyed, and two or three men, it is supposed, are buried in the ruins, These buildings ‘wore built at anexpense of $18,000. ‘tho upper story of the rope and bagging factory of W.
