SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
EARLY HOURS OF MORNING. At 1.30 this morning sleepers were awakened by a severe but short electrical disturbance. The lightning was most vivid and the first cla]3 of thunder seemed to be right over the town, and made many of the houses shiver with the reverberation. There were three other claps of thunder at intervals of a minute, but none was so severe as the first. The weather at this time of the year is usually the warmest experienced, but the temperature last night and this morning was more like that experienced in the early winter months. Old residents of the district are of the opinion that this is the coldest summer that they have ever experienced and is retardr ing the ripening of fruit, tomatoes and other garden produce.
