PROBABILITY OF A BAD CROP.—A man named Samuel
Woolley has been committed to our County Gaol by John
Thomas, Esq., charged with stealing a peck of potatoes,
being part of a quantity which he had been employed to plant
for Mr. Wagstaff, of this city, upon his farm at Hallow.—
This is a practice which, we are afraid, is too often exercised
by persons entrusted with seed to be deposited in the earth
for growth ; and when the produce is expected, it is found
to be deficient, or " the seed was very bad, and did not
grow."—Worcester Journal.

TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.—The thunder storm which
we have already noticed in our brief paragraph upon the
weather, had scarcely subsided, at about five o'clock on Thurs-
day, than we were visited by a succession of peals of a truly
alarming character. The lightnings, although at first distant,
were most vivid and intense, but as they approached nearer
and nearer, their lustre became as insupportable as the light
produced by the combustion of phosporous in oxygen gas, and
as their white gleams fell upon our M. S. we were obliged to
cease for the moment from our duties, owing to the dazzling
intensity of their sun-like splendour. For the first time we
shrank from looking a storm full in the face. At about half-
past six the electrical fluid was obviously raging very near the
town, although in an upper stratum of the atmosphere ; but
from that time until seven, the storm obviously lowered upon
us, and soon after the Town Clock had struck the hour of
seven, its dial was perforated by the stroke of a flash that was
perfectly simultaneous with its thunder, and of the most aw-
ful character. The lightning, although forked, was of a more
diffused character than is usual, and the thunder peals that
accompanied it were truly awful—one almost deafening burst,
and then a rapid series of minor explosions resembling the
dischai ge of a whole field of Artillery. The perforation on
the clock dial plate is between the hour marks of 2 and 3, and
occupies the entire space between those figures ; the works
ofthe clock appear, however, to be uninjured. Several houses
in North Penrallt have sustained serious injury. Three in
particular are much shattered and riven in every direction.—
There have been, we are happy to state, no fatal accidents,
although in two or three instances considerable personal in-
jury has been sustained. Thomas Jones, of Pennybonc,
near Almwich, who was on a visit to his sister at Penrallt,
was sitting in her room, on the second floor, near the win-
dow, and before a small table, at the time of the last thunder
peal, and the electrical shock struck him to the floor, pass-
ing, as he himself describes it, through his back and loins,
downward to his feet. The blow came upon his back, which
bears manifest marks of injury, and his feet are sadly scorched,
his trowsers torn into tatters, and the whole of the front up-
per leather of one of his shoes entirely ripped away. The
lightning, in its downward direction, passed along the outer
wall to the first floor, shivering the windows to atoms, and
melting the lead. Nearly all the earthenware was broken
in several adjacent buildings, and most of the houses in the
vicinity were shaken to their foundations. The devastation
amongst roofs and chimneys is considerable. As is usual in
such cases, the electrical action was succeeded by a most sul-
phurous smell. Poor Jones, we regret to state, is exceeding-
-1 ill ; and we stronlgy recommend his case to consideration.
He has been in imperfect health for some time, and having
obtained a recommendation to Bangor Infirmary, he was pro-
ceeding there at the very time when the storm arose. He
had walked as far as Tycoch, but was obliged to return. At
another house in Penrallt, a little boy and girl were sitting
by the fire at the time of the shock ; the boy was hurled to
the other side of the room, being struck upon the head, whilst
the girl escaped with a burnt bonnet. The boy, however,
happily was more frightened than hurt. These are all the
personal injuries of which we have yet beard ; but the effects
of the storm were felt by several to be analagous to the shock
given by an electrical machine ; and the shattered windows
and crockery of many of our townsmen furnish abundant
memorials of this local storm, if indeed it be not a part of the
saw atmospheric current that passed over Anglesey during
the same day.—Caritarvon Herald.
