GISBORNE.
I Saturday. -The Poverty Bay Standard has ceased publication. News from Wairoa states that an unusually severe thunderstorm was experienced there on Sunday. A valuable horse was killed instantly by lightning, and a considerable number of wild duoks were killed by the same means. At 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon a high waterspout, exceedingly well defined, was observed just off the beach between Te Wakakiand , Wairoa, the bar travelling in a southerly direction. It was of an inky black color. After a short time it burst, and a deluge of rain followed. The Maoris were.. con-; siderably alarmed, believing for the time that it was one of the signs predicted by Te Whiti.
