On Sunday morning last, between seven and eight o'clock, severe thunder storms passed over Frontier Estate, the last of which struck the fourth gable of the dwelling house, where it had been formerly struck, and passed down the wall, rending it from top to bottom, and tearing off and shivering the window shutter of a bedroom, and the jam of a chimney, leaving smoke and a strong smell, as it were of exploded gun-powder, a quantity of which was fortunately untouched, although near to the place where the concussed matter passed; so that the gentlemen in the house imagined it to be on fire, one of whom writing at a desk close to the above window was struck down, but happily with little injury; It is strange that from the frequency of similar accidents, buildings, are not furnished more generally with conductors.
