Constitutional Whig

The state of Ohio was visited by a severe tempest, on the 18th ult. A whirlwind, which commenced near the west line of Licking county, proceeded north east, with the sweep of a mile in width; and, on nearly half a mile of its centre line, left not a tree standing. The little town of Burlington, ten miles north of Granville, containing 20 dwellings, received the whole fury of the tempest. Every dwelling was demolished; most of them being uplifted from the foundation, some of them in solid masses, and others in pieces, and hurled in the air. Large trees were seen as high in the air as the eye could reach, turning round as in the vortex. Three persons were killed, three persons mortally wounded and several were injured less seriously. The cattle were nearly all killed. Such are the particulars as far as they have yet transpired. The citizens of the nearest towns turned out to relieve the distressed and houseless inhabitants; and the physicians were constant in their attendance on the wounded. Other towns appear to have suffered; but no where else do we find any details which can come into comparison with the above.
