THE SUBTERRANEAN FIRE NEA R SIIEFFIELD.—SOMB
account of this fire appeared in a former impression. A
correspondent of the Sheffield Independent gives some
further particulars. He says :—" Old people whom I
have known well remembered a fire, which was burning
under the Red Hill and adjacent fields, near a century
since. Some of them who were living since the modern
outbreak, fully believed this fire to be nothing but a con-
tinuation of the former one. Be this as it may, it is
certain that for about thirty years past the fire has been
undermining the ground on which many of the habita-
tions stand. Sometimes, for the space of a year or more,
various individual houses have been so dreadfully filled
with black or choke damp, that it has seen impossible to
breathe unless the door was kept wide open. Many of

walton, were stripped not only of their fruit, but of the
boughs of the trees ; Mr. Watts, at the Cabin, had many
windows broken, and several lens of cropping destroyed,
the hail cutting off the ears of corn as if with a scythe ,•
Mrs. Boor, of Sibson, had a field of barley much injured
near Elton, whilst in the contiguous parish of Wansford
the storm was scarcely felt, and only a few drops of rain
fell ; (Mrs. Boor's loss is said to be to the extent of £200;
a house was struck by lightning and burnt down at Wel-
don ; at Buhvick a labourer was knocked off a load of hay
and had his shoulder broken; Mr. Yorke, of Thrapston,
had a good horse killed ; on the North Road, near East
Retford, some trees were shattered and fell on the road ;
and at South Retford, a stack•of chimneys on a house
were demolished, and other injury done. In the neigh-
bourhood of Wisbech, the lightning, which was of unu-
sual brilliancy, struck a tree on the farm of Mr. Thomas
Moore, at Whitehall, North-brink, setting the tree on
fire, and killing a ewe and a lamb which were standing
close to it. A fire-ball entered the house of Mr. John
Jealous, farmer, in Parson-drove, bursting through the
roof, displacing the tiles, entering the attic, forcing its
passage through the chambers beneath, and descending
into the parlour, where it expended itself on the mantel-
piece, smashing the ornaments ranged for show.—A si-
milar freak was played off by a fire-ball in the house of
Mrs. Smith, of St. Edmund's.—The storm raged with
violence for several hours, and during its continuance
I there was a considerable fall of rain, hail, and ice.
