severe thunder squall, followed by a copious
shower. The Lightning struck in several pla-
ces. A barn in Pond ST. was struck and con-
siderably injured. A carpenters shop on Broad
way was struck, the lightning passing down
the chimney and out of the door. A man
standing in the door was Frustrated and stun
ned by the shock, but not seriously injured A
building called "Liberty Hall" was also struck
and somewhat injured. The SixthWard School
House was also struck, and the top of the vane
taken off. At Boston, and several towns in
the vicinity, the storm was also severe. In
Lowell, the coachman of Samuel Lawrence

other persons injured. Two dwellings were
