der storm passed over this city night before
last, and several places was struck by light
nIng. A very singular occurrence took
place at Mr. Roberts store IN wafer street.
Nr. r. was sleeping in The front part o!
his store, and, during the storm. was sudden
" awakened. feeling tremendous pressure
upon his head and want of breath. The
room was filled with fire or Ii ightnng, fash
ing in all directions, exactly resembling the
flashes of lightning from the clouds. Pre-
scnliy loud explosion took place in the
room, apparan'Iy as loud as six-pound
cannon, bursting all the windows over the
door in the front end Of the building. and
filled the room with slr0ng sul phurous smell.
Ii was discovered in The morning that the
lightning came through the roof, shivering a
heavy plank standing in a partition. The
room was full of spIinlers flying in the air
when Mr.. r first awoke, and what is very
singular, was the explosion some time after
The bolt entered the roof. No marks of the
lightning leaving the room, in the same shape
in which il entered could be found.
