SAW A REAL THUNDERBOLT. English Workmen Tell of Visit of Mis', site from the Clouds. "Tho nil-dreaded thunder-stono" has been so very seldom seen of Into years that It has como to be regarded by tho vulgar as almost legendary, but the peoplo of Bristol had reason recently to know Its reality. During n vory sevcro thunder storm some masons at work on a scaffolding at Horfield state that thoy saw a thunderbolt thun-derbolt coming toward them from tho direction of South Mead. Ono of them lost his balance, and only saved him self from falling by clinging to a plank. The others had to hold on to whatever was handy. They describe what lliey saw as looking like a dazzling ball of fire larger than a football. Ono ot tho men says: "It cleared our building, but struck a neighboring chimney, but what became of It I cannot say." An utterly demolished chimney stack remains re-mains to testify to his veracity. Tho thunderbolt has not been seen, but It is well known that these mis-slls mis-slls usually como In contact with tho earth at such velocity that thoy bury themselves. Country Life.
