Philadelphia, June 23. Extract of a letter from Lancaster
county, June 20, 1768. . . [4 lines] On Friday, the 17th
instant, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was
overspread with flying clouds, apparently charged with heavy
rain. . . [13 more lines describing progress of the storm]
The storm then proceeded in a S.E. direction, at the rate of
about 12 miles in an hour, attended with a most dreadful
noise, something like the sounds of cannon, drums, and
bells, mingled together. . . [41 more lines]
