Destructive Thunder shower.

Destructive Thunder Shower.
The sultry and oppressive heat with which
the day opened, yesterday, was followed by a
heavy thunder shower, covering large extent
of country, and, in some cases, destroying
property and life. In this city reliable Their
mometers stood at "a at eleven o'clock, A. M,
and in two large iron manufactures, works
were temporarily suspended on account of the
oppressive heat. About noon, the sky was
overcast, and there fell one of the heaviest
showers which has been experienced here for
many years. The house at No. 6 Crown street,
occupied by Daniel Seagrave and Sewall Hol
brook, was struck by lightning, but without
doing serious damage. The fluid played some
antics in the kitchen, shivering the casing
round the pump, and passed into the well. On
the hill back of the Hospital one or two large
and handsome trees were destroyed. Men
were in the immediate vicinity gathering hay,
of which very large quantity was exposed,
when the shock came upon them.
The lightning struck shoe factory in Mil
ford, and instantly killed an old man named
Thomas Slattery, eighty years of age, while
working at his bench. The particulars of the
calamity we have not learned.
AT West Fitchburg, store house owned by
Whitman & Miles, and containing about $1,000
worth of rags belonging to Snow & Whitney,
was struck by the lightning and burned. The
building was valued at $500.
1t is not improbable that other accidents
have happened in this immediate vicinity.
