THUNDER STORM.—On Saturday last, in a
field at Little Pennard, in the parish of East Pennard, the pro-
perty of E. B. Napier, Esq., and situate near the cross-road
leading to Shepton Mallet, an oak tree, of two feet or more
diameter, and considerable height, having a large shroud to it,
was literally smashed to pieces by, the electric fluid. Pieces,
of perhaps an hundred weight or more, were carried across the
road opposite, and a considerable distance into the field. Num-
berless others, of smaller dimensions, were scattered about like
feathers en every side to a great distance, and some were car-
ried from eighty to between one and two hundred yards. Only
a small portion of the heart was left standing, riven into fibres.
The shroud itself seems, for the most part, to have merely
dropped down around, and there remained. Some persons
visited the spectacle on the day of its occurrence, and some hun
on Sunday.—Sherborrx Journal.

A BOY OF FOURTEEN EXECUTED !—Ex-
TRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.—" when a youth, in the
year 1780, my attention was powerfully attracted to the inflic-
tion of death punishment b 3. the following circumstance :—ln
Lord George Gordon's riot a fineLspiritcd boy, of the age of
fourteen, was found guilty of throwing a stone through a
Roman Catholic chapel window, sentenced to death, and exe-
cuted ! I was then something more than seventeen years of
age. This event occationed deep thought, the result of which
was, that from Tory and High-church principles, I became a
Liberal and a Dissenter, and an utter enemy to vindictive pu-
nishment."--[We are furnished with the name and address of
the writer, a gentlaman in his 78th year.
