Its ravages are serious everywhere, and in a fow places fatal accidents occurred. in Virginia, trom some points we have no advices, ‘asgtho telegraph does not reach the places through which tornado may have passed. In the county of Chesterfield it was felt betwoen Summit and Clover Hall, for a distance of eight miles, and a path io width of about one hundred yards, de- Stroying everything in its way. Between the poinis named eight houses were blown down and completely demolished. The house of George W. Smith, ncar Summit, was destroyed, and his whole family, con- sisting of eight persons, were seriously ijured by falung timbers. At this pomt the wind could be beard for several wiles, making noise like the roaring of a great waterfall, and yet at Falling Creek, ive miles away, persons in the aeighborlood heatd nor knew nothing of the storm. At Bosher’s Dam the cyclone crossed into Henrico county, where its ravages are fearful to contemplate, The house of Mr. Ely Higginbethom was badly in- baras, stables, cribs, ioehouses, car- Tiage house and kitchen were completely demolished. Tho latter builuing was turned upside down, and every {ruit tree and shrab on the place was tora up and swept away.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT, Tho house of a dir. Hughos, in the same neighbor- hood, was also destroyed while its owner was working in the woods near by. He started home upon the’ tirst notice of the storm, but belore ho reached the house he was blown down and severely injured about the bip: back.
