Thunder fatal to Goslings.-A writer in the Ame- rican Farmer says, in late thunder storm the light ming descended in feld within less than half a mile of my dwelling, and killed two laborers, and laid prosrate and injured three more. But the effect in my fowl-yard was very remarkable had two broods of goslings, one nearly week od on the ground and another, two days, in basket in a house. At the instant when the thunder fell, which it did with the most astonishing force, the women who had the of the fowls, happened to be look ing upon those in the basket, and them, once, all fall over upon their backs and expire. Those in the yard, half an hour after found dead also nest of eggs under goose, then in progress of matching, all killed You may rely on the cor rectness of this statement Though goslings are ea- silly raised, and live than century they seem to be endued with nerves of uncommon sensibility, or to have systems peculiarly favorable to electric impressions.

 A respectable gentleman in neighboring town informs us that during the cannonadng of the battle of Bunker Hill, he was feeding brood of goslings about miles from Charlestown, and that all the gos- lings turned on their backs and died. The gentle man was then boy, and was much puzzled by the mysterious occurrence. ]-Salen Gazette.
