number of long iron window-bars almoft from one 
end of the window, to the other. Thefe faved the 
room from further damage ; the eledrical matter 
was by- them conducted to the* corner of the window, 
and there made a large round- hole, and went out of 
the room to an iron cramp which is on’the outfide, 
about Hi or 12 feet long, at the lower end of which 
a ftone was cut by the lightening out of the wall, 
and from thence it no doubt delccnded to the ftreet 
(then quite wet) without farther damage. Upon the 
whole, we think ourfelves extremely happy that no ^ 
more mifchief was done.
