THE  GREAT  STORM  IN  EUROPE 
London  telegrams  of  tho  lath  Inst,  tell  fearful 
tales  of  the  dtsastrous storm  which  occurred  last 
week  all  over  the  continent  of  Kuropc.  A  furious 
tempest,  accompanied  by  such  torrents  of  min 
that  the  groat  rivers  were,  swollen  and  manj' Ml- 
l.ageASwept  outol  cxLstence,  ex  tended  from  Havre 
to  the  eastern  limits  of  Slavonia.  One  dlsiialch 
says:— “ 'the  present  week  ha.s  been  t  he  stormiest 
which  liu,s  boon  experienced  Iti  England  during 
the  piiHl.  hundred  yifars.  'ritore  have  been  terri¬ 
ble  galea,  storms  and  floods  In  Engluod,  France, 
Geriminy  and  Belgium.”  The  damage  was  of 
conrsegreat  and  wido-spre.ad  —  ruin  and  death 
leaving  their  marks  on  both  densely  and  thinly 
poiiulttl  cfl  dlstrlcits.  The  devafftatlon  spread  over 
Land  and  sen.— for  while  villages  and  crops  were  de- 
.slroycd  Inland,  many  ves-sels  and  their  crews  were 
engnl)ilied  Ih  lh(^  aerial  vortex  .along  mio  eonsL 
The  Storm  caused  terrible  inundations  In  Ger- 
maitv.  Houses  were,  unroofed,  t,he  steeple's  ot 
ehur(;lie.s  blown  down,  telegraphs  prostrated  and 
railroad  tracks  blown  away.  Earthquake  .shoeks 
were  folt  In  sever.al  places  during  the  prevalence 
of  the  storm.  The  Inundations  in  many  places 
over  the  Continent  have  injured  the  young  crops, 
so  that  a  new  sowing  will  be  ucce.ssarj'.  Ifi  Bohe¬ 
mia  and  llung.ary  enormous  tracts  of  country  and 
above  a  hundred  townships  have  been  flooded. 
‘Mn  Hungary  the  toUil  loss,  a.s  foreseen,  will 
ainoiint  to  $10,oan,onn,  of  which  ono-lialt  Mils  on 
the  agricultural  interests,  sixteen  hundred  thou¬ 
sand  acre.s  of  arable  land  in  Hungary  are  still  In- 
undatod."  The  loss  of  property  by  Mils  unparal¬ 
leled  and  nddespread  storm  Is  Incalculable,  and 
the  terrible  catastrophes  accompanjlng  It  will 
long  be  mournfully  remembered.

ANOTHER  TERRIBLE  TORNADO 
The  village  of  Hazel  Green,  on  the  Southern 
border.?  of  Wiscousln.was  almost  entirely  destro.ve,rl 
by  a  tornado  on  the  loth  Inst.  The  tornado  came 
up  on  the  afternonn,  and  seemed  at  first  like  a 
verj'  black  cloiui  which  divided  and  tlien  reunited. 
It  plowed  the  ground  six  hiiudred  feet  long  and 
tour  or  live  feel  wide,  taking  up  stones,  dlrf,  and 
debris  of  every  kind.  The  head  of  the  column 
was  a  huge  stone,  eight  feet  long  four  feel  wide, 
and  one  or  t  wo  feet  thick.  This  with  other  mat  ter 
was  suspended  In  the  air  and  hurled  on  the  village, 
striking  with  greatest  force  Masonic  Hall,  a  huge 
stone,  building,  which  It  crushed  to  the  earth. 
Fortun.ately  the  hall  was  empty,  though  a  mecG

la  rge  number  ol  smaller  buildings  were  destroyed, 
and  manyalmost  miraculous  escapes  are  re.’oidcd. 
In  one  house  the  entire  family  were  inatanily
