WE understand that the thunderstorm
on Thursday night, 10th, was much more
severe than the people in this immediate
vicinity supposed, as it was hardly notice
able here. The storm extended from Ida
no Territory to British Columbia, and
destroyed considerable property. AT
Dungeness large tree near the village
was struck by lightning and shivered to
pieces. Still further down, the whole
mountain side was seen to blaze out in q
sheet of flame, Illuminating the straits aud
bringing Vancouver Island into view
causing the staunch skipper Of the Mail
Schooner to question whether valcanoe
had suddenly developed itself or the Day
OF Judgment had appeared. And cor
respondent of the Portland "Bee" writing
from Lewiston, says the most terrific
storm ever known on this coast passed
some sixteen miles southeast from there
about O'Clock thursday evening. The
entire crop on Joe. Shissler's rancho is to-
tally ruined; all Of the poultry and some
hogs were killed. The horses working in
the field stampeded and were more or less
injured, and the farm hands were COM
PEELED to flee for their lives to places ol
shelter. Two men are seriously injured
and confined to their beds. Mr.. Shissler's
loss will not be much less than 1000.
