On Sunday evening of last week, about six o'clock, a dreadful tornado passed through the towns of Croydon, Wendell, New-London, Sutton and Warren (N.H.) prostrating in its course houses, barns, fences, (even stone walls) trees, &c. So great was the force of the storm that large logs, from 30 to 50 feet long, and from 2 to 3 feet in diameter were blown along the ground up hill.
A bureau from a demolished house was carried over a lake two and a half miles. Some large beach and elm trees, whose roots would not yield to the elements, were literally twisted into withs. One tree was seen entire, at an immense height in the air erect, and whirled by the tempest. Some lives were lost, and many persons very badly wounded.
