TERRIFIC EFFECTS OF A THUNDER STORIC—One of the
most fearful occurrences which ever took plate, happened
near Killeter, Strabane. on Sunday evening last, two men
being instantaneously deprived of life by a flash of
lightning. It appears that a number of persons were
gathered at the house of one of the deceased, about seven,
o'clock in the evening, their object being to hear the caq-
tents of a letter from a friend in Australia. The payt.y.
went to the door, the better to see the writing,, as the
evening was dark and cloudy. While there the thunder-
storm, which had been gathering sometime previously.
greatly increased in violence, and flashes ot lightning
succeeded each other with terrible rapidity. Fearful to
relate, the electric fluid struck the poor man who was
reading the letter, as well as an unfortunate companion
at. his side, killing both on the spot. Every body in the
house at the time was more or less injured, and one
woman remained insensible for some hours. A dog lying
at the kitchen fire was torn to pieces by the same stroke
of lightning, and the building itself bears evident marks
of the visitation. The bodies of the two men did not
present any external indications of having been struck by
the lightning. As might have been expected, this terrible;
visitation has created a profound sensation in the district
The deceased were respectively named 31‘itoy and
M‘Guinness. _ _

OMB OF WILLIAM COBBETT.—Over the slab which has
hitherto covered the grave of William Cobbett, in the
churchyard of Farnham, Surrey, a tomb has just been
erected by Mr. Thomas Milner, the sculptor, who executed
the statue of Nels.on recently put up at Norwich. The
tomb is made of a durable stone, from the quarry at Roch
Abbey, in Yorkshire. It stands near the porch of the
church, is of solid workmanship, oblong in form, and in
style following the plainest old English architecture. Oa
ore panel, the inscription, copied from the slab, it
