Portsmouth, May 11. . . [storm of thunder and lightening]
greatly damaged the Rev. Mr. Haven's Meetinghouse; the
lightening struck the steeple, and rending the spire in
pieces quite down to the cupulo, over the bell, descended in
the north easterly and south westerly corner posts. . . [17
lines] but it is remarkable that no part took fire in the
least degree, and that the bell is not at all damaged.
