We are informed, that on Tuesday the 2d of this instant,
there was hard thunder with lightning, which struck a
meeting-house in Kittery, where the Rev. Mr. Newmarch is
Minister; it is suppos'd it first struck the bellfrey,
melted part of the bell, the other part falling down broke
to pieces, from thence it went down towards the pulpit, set
fire to the pews, &c.  so that in a little time the whole
building was consumed by the same.
