The great storm of last Friday night will be long rememliered in this State. In ads dition to the detail's’heretofore given, we have informatiou from a reliable citizen of great damage at Taylorville. The storm burslin tnry at that place about dark, and the rain fell in torrents. The electric storm presented the same general features as he're. wind, however,!Woiij much more violent, arid with intermissions blew bi great streugth from every direction Several buildiagft w<»e damaged, and young hickory trees actually twisted, offjby wind.

It is the universal testimony of all fid-' pic in that no creature any-- thing like these was ever before seen by ,fhem. The size renders it certain that they have not been developed there, as is pruc* tically impossible that they could have growu to that size without navinir been sqen. It is quits certain they were never there before the storm, and it is almost equally certain the storm brought them there. The storm which passed oyer so large an extent of country, and was so vio lent, undoubtedly gathered, as most of such storms, in the vast plains of the Northwest. It was a tornado, and in passing through the country, disturbed the usual atmospher ic and electric conditions, so as to produce, in addition to the central tornado, a high wind, heavy rain, and an electric storm. Thtt more plausible theory' which occurs to us as accounting for the presence of these, fishes, in that tornado passing over sonm lake or river ’in the immense unknown .region of the Northwest, drew up water, and with.it these animals which are evi>- deutly amphibious. The tornado then on its mission of destruction, passing perhaps # miles above the earth, and occasionally, as Shipman, striking the earth. Near Tayhn - vlflle the central body of the storm was dis* 41 pitted; as 14Shown by the fact that the from all directions, and these creatures fell to the earth to astonish the people and perplex the scientific.
