EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.

NoRroLK, August 23.-We have not for
il long time witnessed 50 great fail of rain
as was experienced here yesterday after
noon. For nearly two hoursit literally fell
10 torrents, With scarcely an interms5ion
during which tune there was almost an in
cessant roar of thunder. The peais were
awlnly grand, and for the space of IS or
40 minutes, at one pcriodin regular success
sion, with a minutes pause between them,
resembling, as nearly as we can describe
lhrm, discharges of Il large number of can
non of various callhcr fired off nearly all at
One, and the firing repeated at intervals of
a minute. During This angry visitation of
the clements, the ship Indus, OF Salem,
Capt Sherry, lyin1 Il az wharf near the Draw
Bridge, WAS struck by lightning and much
njured bnt fortunately, although there
Wrre several persons on board, no one was

down which II passed. breaking ii OF 10
the top gallant mast, literally furrowing the
wood, lin defiance of the strength OF the
iron hoops, &c.) into fragments, which
were scattered fully a hundred yards from
the ship. The fluid descended To the hold
by the pump spear, doing some injury To
the pump, and spent itself between decks,
here it could be traced no further. II IS
worthy of remark, that the foremost of the
Indus with its appendant spars was struck
in the same manner " bile SHE was lying at
New Orleans in May last. The new schr.

NEW ZEALAND CANNIBALS.

The story which has been related here
this week, and which has found its way in
TO all the newspapers of the town, of the
horrible numbering aud roasting of the
crew of the ship General Gates, ON the
coast of New Zealand, is likely to turn out
sheer fabrication. A gentleman called AT
our Office yesterday, aud introduced ano
thcr, Mr. Albin b. Chaplin, who declares
that lie was mate of the ship General Gates,
sailed in her from Boston in October 1918,
and did not leave her till March 1922 and
that no such man as Joseph Price, or any
one OF those whose names Price has Civ EN-
as having been roasted and eaten by the
New Zraianders has ever been on board of
of her during that time. Price, it will be
rccollected, stated that thi- festival Of Can
nlbalism took place in October 1921. MIR.
Chaplin has the manners of Il gentleman,
has connexions living in Boston, and we
have no doaht of his intelligence and vera
city. What could have induced Price to
iahrcate such a story we cannot tell. Mr..
Chaplin, we understand has seen him, aud

Ii was an enterprise conceived and exccut-
ed by. Colonel John " bite of the Georgia
line. A Captain French of Delancey's
first battalion, was posted with 100 men,
British regulars, on the Ogeechre river, n
bout twenty five miles from Savannah
There lay also, at the same place, five
armed vessels, the largest mounting IA
guns and having on board altogether II
