YESTERDAY'S STORM.
A thunder storm of rather a peculiar nature visited this district yesterday afternoon, and (as reported elsewhere) was attended with fatal oon3equenoes,. It appeared to rise amongst the hills to the north-east of Masterton, and travelling rapidly in a cirolo towards the south, was most severely felt on the Taratabi, hardly any rain falling south of Dalefield. Thunder and lightning appeared to come from all points, .and must at times have been very olose. In Musterton, Mr J, L, Murray's flag was firod by a Hash, and at thesaine time a large bottlo in Mr Eton's shop was struck by the lightning and thrown to the ground. The rain was very heavy, and must bave done a lot of harm to .standing grain.
