During the thunderstorm at Midhirst on Thursday lightning played some peculiar tricks on Mr A. King’s farm, ft struck a row of pi mis insignia trees at one end and ran through the whole length of the belt of about three chains, breaking off boughs, until it came to the centre of the plantation, when it cleaned up a patch sufficient to enable a horse and cart to pass through. 'Fencing wire connected the trees, but at intervals the lightning ran up to the top of the trees. This phenomenon was continued to the end of the row, where it struck the strainer post of the fence, which it burst ts> splinters and left the pieces blackened and burnt. DO BE CAREFUL. Do be careful of croup, tf causes a child untold physical suffering and mental distress. Always have Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy on hand.
