THUNDER 1117011.
During the storm on Sunday night the electric fluid fell
on two houses, No.. 12 and 13, in Tuttel.street, Littera,-
pond-street, shivered the chimney-pots to pieces, sod broke
i• the second dour of No. 12, shivered the cuplmord door,
and set several parts of the wood on fire; the bosses are
small, being only two floors, with one room on a Boor; there
were two beds in the room,and the family were in bed; they
got ;spend fortunately extinguished the f►e. Al the adjoin-
ing house, No. 13, the electric fluid broke through the roof
and ceiling, caught the bell-wire, and descended by it to the
street door, destroying the wire and cranks, leaving a black
mark of smoke along the wall as if from gunpowder; so
osier cradle that was un the first floor was scorched all over,
and some clothes iaught fire; fortunately the child was iu
bed with its mother at the time. An old man who lay in the
room, and who bad been unable to walk for six weeks before
from rheumatic pains, received suck an electric shuck, that
he jumped out of bed, ran duwu stairs, and recovered the
use of his limbs; he was as well on Monday as ever he was in
his life; the hair tin his wife's head was very much singed,
but she received no other injury. The fluid, after descend-
int as far as the street door, shivered open the parlour dour,
and took ■ direction along the passage wall, which it tore,
to the back door, caught the husk and hinges, all of which
it wrenched off, and threw the dour in pieces into the yard,
leaving a strong smell all over the house as if caused by gun-
powder. During the whole of Monday the street was
crowded, and two persoui at the door of Nu. 13 had as
much to do as they could to receive the pence from hun-
dreds of gentlemen and others who were admitted to sec the
'Ems produced by the lightning.
