INVERCARGILL.
This day. StiUfck Tsy: liigktaing.
A rumor, which is apparently well founded, has been circulated here to the effect that two children: named Fraser have been killed by lightning, at Gap road station on the Northern line, and about seventeen miles from town. Their parents are also said to have been either injured by lightning or to have been prostrated by the calamity to their children. The storm was unprecedented in its result in this district; telepraph poles have been split, and telephones in town were charged with electricity, and the bells in various offices were ringing frequently. On the inner side of Crisp's leg a representation of a tree was distinctly marked, as plainly as; if it had been photographed.
