THUNDERSTORM AT AUCKLAND.
Auckland, This day
A thunderstorm passed over the city yesterday afternoon. The lightning struck the coach building establishment of Verroll and Co., at Newton. There were three men working at tho forge, but they escaped uninjured, though somewhat unnerved. The Pousouby public school, in which thero were 500 children, was struck at the same time. The woodwork of the turret was displaced and some fell down, and the zinc sheeting was torn off. When the Hash of lightning came, followed instantaneously by a deafening peal of thunder, the children were in a great state of commotion, numbers running out of the school.
