The paper bears date of April 23, and among other interâ€" esting items it contains a descripâ€" tion of a remarkable cloudburst, which occurred on the 20th inst. Late in the afternoon there â€" was a slight shower of rain and during the evening heavy clouds gathered in the sky. Still, there was nothing to indicate the character of the storm that was approaching. It was not until midnight that the storm began; then it suddenly burst upon the islands and for nearly four hours raged in unbroken fury. The play of the lightnirg was incessant and the brightness was intense; the thunder was terrific, the peals rendâ€" ing the air and booming and crackâ€" ing with startling effect; the rain fell in torrents, as if ‘‘all of the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the floodâ€"gates of heaâ€" ven were opened.‘"" The deluge was universal; but the western and cenâ€" tral parishes, as far east as the which _ laid vegetation low as a scythe would.

In one garden alone 200 cabbage heads, averaging several pounds apiece, were clean cut from the stems. ‘Great fiat flakes of ite fell upon the roofs of housesi smashed in pieces, and the pieces glided down the sloping roofs with a harsh, grating sound as if the roof slates were sliding from the lathing.
