Our Journals contain accounts of great damage done
by 'toms in some of our provinces. Thus, on the 6th
August, in a letter from Admont, in Upper Syria, about
three o'clock in the afternoon, dark thunder storms rose
on three different sides, and at length joined the centre of
the valley. It became as dark as night, and a torrent of
rain gave reason to imagine that the tempest would soon
pass over; when, all at once, the lightning struck the
steeple, passed through the clock into the chance], and
killed two priests, who were doing duty there. They
were killed on the spot; every means to read anima•
tion was employed for hours, but without the smallest
effect. The electric fluid discharged itself in the form of
a ball of fire, and an explosion like that of a large can.
non. Large pieces of the cornice and ceiling fell. Those
persons who were able fled; some, struck by the light-
ning, lay insensible on the pavement; and others, se-
verely wounded by the falling pieces of the wall, were
carried, covered with blood, out of the chancel.

In Upper Cotinthia immense damage was done on
the sth August at Oberviellach. In the afternoon of
that day, after a severe thunder storm, the inhabitants
were alai med by a loud and increasing noise for which
they could not account, when in a few minutes the
Kaporick, a rapid stream that flows in a steep bed
through the place, rose in such a manner as to threaten
destruction to everything in its vicinity. All the bridges
were carried aunty, and large trunks of trees, and vast
masses of rock were brought down by the impetu3sity
of the current. The people had hardly time to escape
out of the houses and save their cattle ; happily no lives
were lost, but the damage is very great.

account of the termination of the war in India, has been
