May 17 A most-dis-trt ssliig event occurred here yesterday. At the close of the morning service, there appeared a shower rising from te West, which prevented most of the Cougregation from leaving the meet ing house. The shower began with hil and rain, about-half past 12 o'clock, and about a quarter ofanhoMr before I, a stre4m of lightning was seen to descend from the cloud to the lighting rod on the meeting house, and by thi rod down, to within about 8 feet of the ground. The lower part of the roliavtft broken off and lost, the lightning there burst, sad i one portion of it entered a window, to a-pew, where several people were sitting; Mrs. Martha Drake, wife of John Drake, and daughter of David Tliompson, 'Es'j. was struck dead.
