STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Our Mosgiel correspondent informs us that at about 3 p.m. yesterday thei e was terrific lightning, accompanied with loud thunder and heavy rain. Mr G. Brain’s house was struck by the lightning, which damaged severely the gable end and the roof. The inmates received no hurt. A person named M’Donald, who drives an aerated water cart, was rendered senseless by the lightning, and his hat bore unmis akcable signs of having been li-ed by the electric fluid. It is reported that at Liccaitou, East Taieri, Mr Walter Blackie had a milch cow killed by the lightn ; ng. To-day the weather has been squally, accompanied by rain, which is sure to damage the crops by laying them down.
