A TEIVWftEIt-sTORM Oeckered at Bangor on Thurs-
day last, which did much mischief to property, and was
fatal to a lady named Avery. This North Wales Chronicle
thus describes the catastrophe : The house skink by light-
ning was in the occupation of Mr. and Mrs. Afton, end is
'tutted en the lefts de of the high road to the Menai-bridge,
pnweedini from Bangor. On the night preceding the
storm it woo a neat and well-tarnished residence; when
laming dawned it was a tattered and shattered building,
al:celled, broken, and disjointed, roof split, walls furrowed,
searedy a wiodow sash or apace left, from ground to upper
stay, and, raving the kitchen, a heap of rubbish and mortar.
The stream of lightning must have entered at the china-
my, and not unlikely, the roof likewise (at the back
of which several slates have been displayed), break-
it through the chimney of the top room, which is a
double bedded roam, one a four-posted canopied bedstead,
with the head to the wall on the right side of the fire-place,
the font reaching down almost to the room door, oppoolle to
which is • plain bedstead without • roof, the head resting
against the frost wall to the left of the window. In the
ire or curtained bedstead, Mr. Avery and his wife retired
is rest OA Wednesday night, in good health and spirite, lum-
ina made an excursion to Snowdon, in company wilt the
lady's sister end brother, who occupied other apattmenes
under the tame roof. It was between one end two o'clock,
instaataaeously with the last and loudest peal, that the cur-
twat of electricity emote this house. On the right side
of the chimney, in the room mentioned, imme-
diately behind the bedstead, and above the head-board,
Is a deep semicircular rent in the wall, from which
the lightning darted on to the bed, taking Mrs. Emery's ear
dean 8. The unfortunate lady uttered no word or groan
from that instant—she never asaved in fact, and the proba-
bility is that her case was instanione death from concussion
of the brain. No other marks of violence are discernable on
her person, but some time after death, the left shouldet
bleekkied. Mr. Emery was slightly scorched on one leg,
and his shirt was set um to ; but the kaoor gentleman has re-
vived el dreadful • alto& that has recovery is doubtful.
From this apartment the lightning appears to hove paned
into the aeljoining chamber, occupied by Miss Beach, sister
to the deceased lady. This lady's tempo wee miraculous.

Monday last, the ixtensive farm premises of Mr. Simeon
