severe thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon

resides about half mile from the city on

on her person at the time a gold watch,

around the neck. The electric fluid struck
the chain, melting it entirely. From the
chain it passed through the watch, par

RISE IN THE RrvER.-The officers Of
boats, down yesterday from the Missouri,
report heavy rise in that stream. From
Grand river to the mouth, there has been
. swell Of between five and six feet. The
river, opposite this city, rose about three
feet during yesterday, and up to dark last
evening, was still swelling. The rise
was so sudden and unexpected, that sew
sral lots Of produce on the Levee were In
jured, before they could be removed. A
pile Of several hundred sacks Of salt, the
property Of Mr. George Partridge, lying
near the intersection Of Morgan street,
was much damaged: between two and
three hundred sacks were entirely lost
The swell has produced fine stage Of
wstsr for navigation, and it is more than
probable, that il may have the effect to
lessen the rates Of freight from this to
