From Hanover, that on the 7th of Dec. near that place a clap
of thunder broke over a church where people were
worshipping, which killed several, and wounded 40 others,
threw down the bells, broke the organs, and set the church
on fire; but that a second clap happily extinguished the
flames the other had established.
