TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORM.—A thunderstoro
suddenly burst over a part of Wiltshire on Sunda
afternoon, and caused great and ansfous alarm. At ti
minster—over which town the storm hung for nearly 11%.
an hour—the thunder claps were terrific, and the lightr'il3o
was intensely vivid. Rain fell in a deluge, and 13°-":i.
idea of the state of things may be re alised when it 0
stated that the principal streets were iii a few miullthe
some fourteen or fifteen inches under water, and the
lower portions of the houses inundated. The dasc".,a
done in the neighbourhood is not so great as might 1 v;
been apprehended, but still it is severe. At Coreld,
village between Frome and Warminster, an old W°331°,11
was standing at her window in one of a block of f°l.a
cottages, watching the storm, when the electric filly
descended, struck her to the ground insensible, and secsreo
scorched her arm and side. Almost instantasteouslY hto
flames burst out, and it was with the greatest diffieultYi"r,
the poor old creature was extricated by her nsighbotiat
The flames spread to the adjoining cottages, and all fob
were soon reduced to ruins.
