some time stationary, where. the 'Clouds seemed pal-
pable and black. The lightning sbewed_itsell near

bosom of 113 e clouds., After ten or a doten Ilashes,
followed almost immediately by fond rolling thunder,
it changed its place into the north-ealt, making it-
self Seen and heurd'at longer and longer intervals,
and, in about halt an hour after, three, the horizon
cleared up. During the storm, the higher clouds
carried. from east to west, and very little rain tell at

lightning struck two contiguous houses at the
west •end of this town. The roofs of both house's
were struck near the common gable, and a ntittibet
of slates on tire north-west side of boo) were torn
Off, and the chimney-pot injured. • The lightning
entered a chitunry of the northmost house, passing

At the moment, wo ladies were stimd;ng,in the

AY a,- AUG. 9.----0:1 S.ituiday last we were visited
by one of the most tremendous storms of thunder
that has occurred hero in the mem,ry of man, A
ball of the electricfinid—struck the house of Mr.
Shaw, and' almogi' demolishAl a stack, of chimpits,
filmg some of the apartments ‘rith smoke and sul-
phur. From the chimney it descended along a leaden
pipe, till, being aura ied by a variety of metal
utensils, it corced IN way into the kitchen, tore a
fragment of a stone from the 'wall, struck a-kettle
out of the cook's hand, scorched the toot of a boy
in t!fe.scullery, and al last direated its course along
a leaden pipe, that coMmunicated with the well,
where it • seems to have been dissipated. A child,
in the nurse's arms, who seemed within the range
of the bolt, and appeared involved amid the fire, -
-:autfered no harm ; and many -other providential es-
capes occurred.
Another bolt struck one of the ballusters of the
rail' in front of Mr. B iird's house, broke and scat-
tered' a o.it;t of the pavement, knocked down a man
who was standing under the adjoining archway, ren-
dered auother man insa,neighbooring house insensi,
