Two vessels arrived at Gloucester on Wednesday from the Bay of St. Lawrence, with two hundred to three hundred barrels ofmackerel each, the ﬁrst arrival this sea- son. Their report is quite favorable for the catch, although the ﬁrst fares will be of poor qualily.

D!-1A'l‘ll av LlGu'l'.\'lNG.——0Il the l8tli inst., Mrs. Jane \Vilbur “ﬁfe of Mr. James \Vilbur, ot'New Horton, Albert, went into the ﬁelds to pick strawberries. About 4 o'clock, . m., there arose ii terriﬁc storm ofthunder and lightning. Night came on, yet the wife and the mother did not return to her husband and family. At length the neighbors went in seiirch of her, and there , beneath sonic apple trees wliere she had}

lightning’.-i glaie they discovered l|t‘l' bodyl horribly disligiii-ml by the destructive ele-l ment. The tin ves.-‘el she carried was‘ partially triiiisiniited, the part remaining

was riddled with holes, as though a charge

of shot had been lircd through it. Iler

bonnet was found in tatters at the top of one oi the trees whicli was rent in pieces.

[lor nlutlir-s were literally burned to a cin-

drr, and the ground at-nuiid the spot bore

evident mniks of the terriﬁc force of this

subtle agent. At inidi.iglit her body was

borne to the ll0llS(‘lltil(l of the late David

Sronnis IN \\'i:srnioiii.iNn, N. B. July Qtitli. A correspondent writi.ig from Bay Vt-itc under this (lIll.t-l says: This neigh- borhood was visited during the night oftlie 21th ii-st., and again in the evening of yes- terday by~severe storms of thunder and lightning, acconipiinied by hail of a large size. Uii the first riccagiwn, several win- dows were broken by the hnil,and consider- able damage done to the Cl't')pS in the adja- cent district of Fort Lawrence. Yesterday a mass of electric lluid struck the chimney ofthe house of Joseph Chapman, Esq., in Point de Bute, which, it split from top to bottom, passing oﬂ‘ under one of the sills, and throwing up the earth to some depth. Fortunately no person was in the house at the time, or the consequences might have been fatal. The cattle in the adjoining farmyard showed great symptoms of alarm,

, and the thunder was terriﬁc. The storm soon passed c6‘, and was succeeded by a serene sky and line evening. The light- ning struck a dwelling house in Shediac a few days ago, and killed two persons. It is much to be hoped, that the frequent thun- der and lightning with which we have been visited of late, will be followed by dry wea- ther, as the farmers have just commenced haying and the crop of grass is heavier than usual."
