LEESBURG, (va) May %.

1t becomes our painful task to record
one of those awful visitations of provi-
dence, which while it appals the heart,
fastens upon the mind the solemn con-
viction of human frailty On Tuesday
morning last, about IL O'clock, in the
midst of a heavy shower, and without
any previous indication Of surcharged
atmosphere, the heavens suddenly e.
mitted a volume of electric fire, which
was Instantly succeeded in tremendous
clap of thunder. The lightning struck
log dwelling in the occupation of Mr.
James Mansfield, situate in King street,
demolished part of the chimney, and
thence descended to the lower floor,
where the family and few neighbors
were collected. Thomas Jacobs, pro-
prietor of the house, and at that mo-
ment an inmate, was struck ifeless, and
fell dead upon the spot Two of Mans
fields children were much injured, as
were also two others who were present
at that time.
Or The subsequent examination it APP
peared, that the electric fluid after strik-
ing the chimney, had decendedin three
distinct bodies, and in different direc-
tons. Leaving the chimney, part of
the fluid was conducted to the back of
the building by one of the rafters. In
its descent it shattered the rafter to pie
ces, and partly unroofed the tenement
Two other bodies of fluid descended
by the chimey-one within, and the
other without the house.
The deceased was standing by the
door, within the house, when the light
ming descended from the rafter, almost
Immediately upon his head. The inju-
ries sustained by the children were of
the nature Of common burns, or scalds;
and the situation of one, at least, is ex-
tremely critical The house was in
stantly filled with smoke, and strong
smell Of sulpher was very perceptible in
and about the premises for several hours
after this melancholy occurrence.
1t may be worthy of remark that in
the house occupied by the family of Mr..
Jacobs, "a few yards distance from the
residence of Mansfield, large cat ly-
ing on the hearth, was instantaneously
killed by the lightning, though no inju-
ry was done to the dwelling, nor was
there any other evidence of its having
been struck.

FIRE AT PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 29.-f esterday
afternoon, between and O'Clock, this
city was alarmed by the cry of fire
1t originated in a stable back of the

minutes the flames spread to pile of
warehouses, stables, and dwelling houses.
The principal suffers were James
Hart and Conrad Weckerly. The fire
extended itself through to St John-st,
