A remarkable effect of lightning occurred, a few
days ago, at Liege. The electric fluid entered a workshop,
and slightly wounded a workman in the foot, and it was ob-
served that his shoe was pierced from the heel to the toe ; it
then scattered about some tools that were on a bench, without
touching another workman that was close by. All the win-
dows were broken, the lead of the roof melted, and two stone
posts of the gateway shattered to pieces.
On Thursday morning, between two and three
o'clock, a stack of straw, on the premises of Mr. Webster,
farmer, in the parish of Spalding, was discovered to be on
fire. The Spalding engines and sufficient help were quickly
on the spot, and through the successful application of the en-
gines, the fire was confied to the straw-stack and one of fag-
gots, which were wholly consumed. A barn (thatched),
containing between forty and fifty quarters of newly-thrashed
wheat, was preserved, though the flakes of fire frequently
reached both it and the dwelling-house. It is supposed that
the firing of the barn was the object of the incendiary. Mr.
Webster is one of the overseers of the poor of Spalding, for
the present year.—Boston Herald.

On Sunday last this town was visited by two of the
most heavy falls of rain ever remembered. In the course of
the previous night it rained for several hours, but shortly before
ten o'clock on Sunday morning, it descended in torrents, and
with such rapidity, for upwards of a quarter of an hour, that it
was impossible the drains could carry the water off fast enough,
and, consequently, a very large number of kitchens and cellars
in various parts of the town were inundated, some to the depth
of more than four feet ; several individuals sustaining serious
loss. After the storm had in some degree abated, numerous
persons were compelled to commence clearing out their resi-
dences, which in many instances had scarcely been accom-
plished, when a second storm ensued (about three o'clock in
the afternoon), and the rain fell more violently than before,
accompanied by much thunder and lightning, and in many
places the previous damage was much increased.—Cambridge
Chronicle.

THE EFFECTS OF TIIE LATE STORM AT KEN-
SINGTON.—During the storm on Sunday last a poor woman,
named Margaret Gudgeon, living at No. 4, James-street, Ken-
sington, was struck by lightning whilst bringing some water
from a pump. She was knocked down, two of her teeth were
knocked out of her, and her body was covered with bruises;
she was assisted home, and partially recovered, but has not
since been able to leave her bed, and has spat blood ever since.
Mrs. Code, the wife of a musician, residing in Church-court,
Kensington, was also struck by lightning, and it was two
hours before she, in any degree, recovered ; she has been ill
ever since. Several other persons in the same neighbourhood
have also suffered from the effects of the lightning.
LOVE, DESPERATION, AND SUICIDE.—The in-
habitants of Crediton were much alarmed on Thursday night
last, in consequence of the discovery that two young persons
had committed suicide by poisoning themselves, at the Royal
Oak Inn, in that town. It appeared that two respectable-look-
ing young persons, a man and woman, each about the age of
twenty-two years, came to the above Inn as lodgers on Mon-
day week last. Nothing in their conversation or manner
tended to excite any suspicions with the landlord, either with
regard to their connection or circumstances. They arose ge-
nerally at a late hour in the morning, evinced much attach-
ment towards each other, walked out together during the day,
were very moderate in their mode of living, and retired at a
seasonable hour to bed. On Thursday last, however, the land-
lady of the Inn, not finding them down stairs-at their usual
hour, knocked at their bed-room door, and was answered by
the emale " that they should be down presently ;" but their
not appearing by two o'clock in the afternoon, the landlady
sent her son to the bed-room door to remind them of the
hour, and he was then answered by one of them, which he
did not distinctly hear. Nothing further was thought of
them until the evening, when the landlady became greatly
alarmed at their non-appearance, and again knocked at
the bed-room door ; receiving no reply she burst it open,
when, hearing a deep moan, she immediately ran down stairs

premeditated self-destruction. It .was also proved on the In-
