CIIELIVISFORD.—A very severe .storm of thunder
and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain,
passed over here 9n Friday evening, about seven
o'clock, taking an Easterly direction. The
lightning was so vivid, and so immediately fol-
lowed by tremendous claps of thunder, as to
cause great apprehensions that it would leave
some melancholy effects behind. We are, how-
ever, most happy to say, that no serious injury
has been sustained in this part, excepting by the
inundations occasioned by the rapid fall of the
water and hail, which every clap of thunder ap-
peared to increase, and which continued with
unabated fury for at least twenty minutes.
During the storm, and at the instant when one of
the most severe claps of thunder was heard, a fine
boy, about ten years of age, the son of Mr. Wm.
Parnell, of Stock, then standing at the door, in-
quired what had occasioned the explosion, and
on being told it was a gun, he ran towards the
mother, who was in an adjoining room, where he
instantly fell down and became a corpse, with-
out the least appearance of having received any
injury from the electric fluid. A remarkable
fatality has attended the junior part of Mr. PAR-
NELL'S family, three of them having, previously
to this occurrence, met a pNamature death. One
boy, elevot years old, in watering a horse, fell
off, and the horse treading upon his stomach, he
retained sufficient strength only to reach the edge
of the pond, where he was found dead. The
second, about the sarne,age, in running to avoid
a stone thrown by another youth, fell upon a
stub, and expired shortly after. The third, as it
appeared, whilst in the act 'of picking acorns,fell
from the branch ; he was found under the tree
quite dead, with his neck dislocated.—( Essex
Herald.)

On Friday evening, between the hours of seven
and eight, this part of the country was visited
by a heavy storm of rain and lightning, which
came from the westward. The rain fell in
torrents, and the lightning was awfully vivid.
—lt was with much difficulty the drivers of the
stage coaches, both on this and the Dover
road, could manage their horses, so frightened
were they with the broad flashes that played
around them, and which in two or three
instances, we hear, completely enveloped the
coaches in a• kind of blue flame, that for the
moment blinded the passengers. Soon after the
storm had subsided, a beautiful loner rainbow
made its appearance in the heavens, almost due
north. This interesting object, vihich was visibly
observed by many of the inhabitants of this town,
presented a curvature embracing' a considerable
span, and the dark and rain-fraught clouds that
occupied the back ground, displayed this richly
diversified arch of beauty to considerable ad-
vantage.—(Maidstone Journal, October 8.)
