vivid flash of lightning killed no less than S 7 of them.

nements was struck by the, electric hid, and burnt to
the ground in au inconceivably short spate of time.
A poor man, standing at his door, was strack dead,
and left a family to deplore their sudden deprivation.
The horses in the Telegraph Day Coach were so ten
rifled by the lightning, that betweea Thetford and
Newmarket they took fright, and ran for five wiles,
notwithstanding the exertions of the coachman, who
was fortunately enabled to keep the road, so that no
►ccident occurred.—An oak tree was shivered to
pieces at Fakeolsam, and au elm tram was stripped of
its bark, near Easton Hall.

mast, came down the fore-top-mast, descended by the
foremast, and then Wag attracted by the iron bitts,
forced a large piece out of the windlass, and made
its passage by the chain cable into the river. Fortu-
palely, none of the heads were on board ; had it been

ally injured. The lightning entered almost every
room of the house, breaking windows, looking gl
t.•aring window frames and stone chimney pieces to
atoms, dec. Some paper and tow in a closet was set
on fire, but by timely assistance the fire was soon ex-
tinguished. The whole of the inmates (eight in num-
ber) were providentially preserved. At Old Weston,
near Kimbolton, i■ Huntingdonshire, a wind corn
mill, the property of Mr. . Thomas Knighton, was con-
siderably injured. The whole interior of the mill was
scorched and some sacks were burnt, but the mill it-

struck the I, and the boiling fioid it contained
was flung over the man, who is much scalded by

and the rain fell in torrents for a considerable time.
