THUNDER STORM.—On the evening of Wednesday
last, between the hours of six and seven, the vicinity of this
town was visited by a storm of thunder and lightning, ac-
companied with rain, as violent and extensive as it was un-
seasonable and unexpected. When we say extensive, we
refer no less to the duration of the storm than to its
range: and although it has not produced any mischievous
effect that we have yet heard of, we are not without fear
that it may have been injurious in the localities
over which it ranged ; for contrasting the broad sheets
of dazzling, flashing light, intensely white and
bril-
liant, with the remote and repercussive character of the
thunder, we cannot but infer the electrical action to
have been almost unprecedently energetic. The flashes
were rapidly repeated ; and, in some instances, a second sheet
of light beamed along the sky before the thunder from the
preceding one had reached the ear. A complete deluge of
rain followed the thunder peals. The course of the storm
seemed to be from the south or south- west ; but at times it
so illuminated the entire atmosphere as to make " the en-
trance and the exit " of the lightning indiscernable. At eight
o'clock, after a brief interval of line weather, the storm re-
newed, and continued at intervals until nearly eleven o'clock,
but it obviously became more and more distant, and did
not increase in force. It may be as well to state that
the atmosphere was most tempestuous on the preceding
evening, the wind blowing a complete hurricane, and that
the weather had been most unseasonable, in fact, close and
almost sultry, for a few previous days. That these violent
electric interchanges will purify the atmosphere, and nip a
host of diseases in the bud, there can be little or no doubt:
and, if we are spared the task of recording any accidents and
injuries, we ehall say to the strange visitors—" all hail."
Since the above was written, we have heard it stated that five
cows, and one bull, the property of Mr. Michael Hughes,
Treferw3,,dd, were killed by lightning, on his farm, near Bryn-
siencyn, Anglesy. Another accident of the same kind is re-
ferred to by our correspondent from Festmiog.— Ca 7 narvon
Herald.

Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re-
gistered Paletot to suit the ever-variable nature of our cli-
mate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the
railway traveller, but is equally adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being se peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign appearance or extravagance in man-
ner. It must be acknowledged as a vast improvement over
the old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an
uncomfortable sensation of tight buttonings, which, from its
very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the per-
son, as interfering with the proper circulation of the' blood.
The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive ; also
the clerical mixture, called Oxford, and can be had of the
patentees, or only of the most respectable clothiers out of
London. Every winter paletot is three guineas, and is
stamped in the lining with time words, " Registered 6 and 7
Vic., cap. 65. 11. J. and D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street
London."

IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE 15—While all other ma-
ladies known to modern medicine slay their thousands, con-
sumption may be said to slay its tens of thousands. Every
family in the empire, therefore, is concerned in the discovery
of a remedy for its cure, and hence the great importance and
paramount interest of the treatise, " Observations on Anaspa-
sia in the Cure of Asthma and Consumption." The writer is
Dr. Cronin (Physician to the Dispensary for Consumption),
so well known to the public in connexion with the successful
treatment of asthmatic and consumptive maladies, as well as
by his published and practical efforts in the cause of hu-
manity. We shall go no farther at present than to express
a strong conviction in favour of the mode of treatment re-
commended, which, from the facts that have come to our
knowledge, we really believe has accomplished that which
the author states.—City Chronicle. Wertheim, Paternoster-
row, third edition, price 3s. _ _

[ADVERTISEMENT.] BAD LEGS AND WOUNDS OF
ALL KINDS SPEEDILY CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PILLS.—If these very valuable medicines be used toge-
ther, according to the directions given with them, there is no
case, however obstinate, bad, or long-standing, but may be
shortly cured by their surprising of
eeacy. Thousands of per-
s' who had been patients of large hospitals, and under the
care of the greatest surgeons of the day, without deriving the
least benefit, as a last resource use Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, which always cure them, and frequently in as little time
as a cut finger would require when treated in the usual way.—
Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.
SERVING THE PEOPLE.—All who serve the people
are poorly paid. To be very usefully employed is to be de-
graded. A shoemaker is a snob; a tailor a snip, and the
ninth part of a man ; a weaver is something worse than a
tailor; a ploughman is a bumpkin; a smith, a mere bellows-
blower ; a carpenter is chips ; a sailor (for whom, nevertheless,
there prevails a kind of affectionate feeling, as if he were
a helpless child,) is Jack Tar; a soldier is a lobster, or Johnny
Raw; and a servant, if he be very useful, is a flunkey. The
services of all these classes are indispensable. We could
neither be waited upon, defended, lodged, nor clothed, with-
out them ; yet they are all poorly paid and harshly treated.
Magistrates pounce upon them for every indiscretion, and
stringent laws hold them to their duty. The harder the
occupation in general, the worse it is paid.—Douglus Jerrolds
Magazine.
