BLAsPHEMy AND IT'S PUSIsHNEST.-On
Sunday evening an awful thunderstorm.
accompanied by deluge Of rain. visited
Nottingham and ncighborhood. The low
er part OF the town was flooded. Women
and children. half naked and frantic. rushed
up the steps Of their wretched alb ,des in o
the streets. and were washed back again
by The strength of the food. and il was
only by the exeriions Of the men. and The
night police in particular, that many lives
were savca. Terrible as have been the
effects ii the srDrm in the town, its con.
sequences are more direinl. if possible in
the country. We have seen parties from
Bridgeiord. Carlton. and other places and
al. state thai the effects Of the hurricane
are terrible indeed. Barns and other farm
buildings in great numbers have been over
thrown. The wheat and barley crops are
battered down, and hay in great quantities
has been washed away; but We have not
Vet hearl Of any accident Of fatal nature.
Amongst he parties who sought shelter
rom he pitiless storm in the Milton's head
pubic house, on the Derby road, was a
man, 22 years OF age, named Alfred Green
wood. lacemaker. This young man EN-
ployed himself for some time in ridiculing
The fears OF The company. His conduct. al
first characterized by extreme levity, de
generated into profanity. He used the
name of the Deity in a most awful manner,
and with bitter oaihs expressed wish that
a thunderbolt might come upon them and
strike the company blind. Then raising
himself and looking through the skylight
over the room in which they were sitting.
with profane gestures he was defying the
electric fluid. and its effects, when a vivid
flash Of forked lightning entered the room.
and the next moment he was lying speech
less on the ground. He was taken up BY
the trembling observers, none Of whom
were hurt and was placed on a couch; for
some time they thought him dead; but Mr..
Darby, surgeon, having bled him, in about
an hour sensibiIiiy returned. The frsI
expression he used on recovering his speech
was God forgive me- The man still re-
mains blind. and has this morning been
removed 10 the General Hospital.
