The Cyclone. - The Cyclone on Tuesday evening of last week was far more 
extensive in its operations than was at first supposed.  Besides the shaking up 
at the Tri-State fair grounds and the asylum buildings, it crossed over the 
river and passed through a streak of Wood county, and so far as we have heard 
considerable damage was accomplished along its path.  Joe Baird and Henry 
Roether were driving near Molme when struck by the storm.  Their buggy and 
contents were turned upside down in a ditch, but no damage done except a few 
scratches on the buggy and a sprained shoulder for Mr. Roether.  They inform us 
that the track of the cyclone was plainly visible so far as they drove in its 
wake, John O'Leary had a barn blown down, C. Kemp house unroofed, Samuel Baker 
new house in course of erection literally demolished.  John Weaver's mill sheds 
leveled with the ground, and nearly every chimney on the line was swept away.
