There is a perceptible difference between the phenomena here 
and at Mayfield. Upon the southeast side of the track the aver 
age direction is about N. 15° E. At Mayfield, it was N, 35° E. 
On the northwest side of the track, the average direction of the 
bottom trees is N. 43° W., and of the top trees N. 5° E. ‘The 
phenomena are of the same kind, but the velocity of the whirl is 
much reduced. The rotation of the wind is still in the same 
direction. There are three anomalies here to be noticed, the 
most remarkable of which is the second tree in group sixteen, 
but as this was a small one its direction was probably influenced 
by the interference of other trees, Ee 
Our next particular survey was made at Painesville. The tot 
nado passed directly over the southeast part of the village, but 
its greatest violence does not appear to have reached the earth’s 
surface, as it did but little damage in the town. It blew off the 
balustrade of the Presbyterian meeting-house ; took off a part of 
the shingles from an old roof, and removed the roofs of some 
small out-buildings. Hail fell as large as a walnut—quite solid, 
enough to whiten the ground—and broke a good deal of glass. 
Enough rain fell to lay the dust in summer—some thunder and 
lightning. ‘Lasted but a few minutes. In the woods northeast 
of the village, on the opposite side of Grand River, there was ® 
general prostration of the timber. The following bearings Wel 
observed, crossing from the southeast to the northwest side.
