gentleman of very large fortune, and of a respectable family. It had been most oppressively hot, and on Monday, about one o'clock, began the most awful and and alarming storm of thunder and lightning ever remembered there. It continued for several hours, during which a number of cottages were injured, and many persons received slight shocks. The concluding peal, which consisted of two discharges of the electric fluid closely following each other, like those of heavy artillery, particularly affected the house at Lisanally. It seemed to have entered at the chimney, where there was a considerable number of iron cranks, &c. and, following the bell wires into the several rooms, broke a quantity of glass, shattered the marble chimney-pieces, and left the whole a complete wreck.-Strange to relate, the room least injured was the parJour, to which Mr. Galbraith, with his lady and daughters, had retired for security. The lightning seems, by a black mark in the upper part of the wall, to have run perpendicularly down to the spot where that gentleman as he sat was leaning, and to have entered at the upper part of the spine; and following its course through its whole length, again to have pursued the perpendicular line on the wall. A deluge of rain followed, which raised to furious floods all the mountain streams, broke down bridges, and left hideous chasms in many places in the neighbourhood of Lisanally. Mr. Galbraith, called away by this awful visitation, was a gentleman of the kindest heart and most inoffensive manners, fulfilling the private relations of husband and father with most endearing and amiable attention, and the public ones of Landlord and Grand Juror with most charitable and judicious indulgence to a numerous tenantry, and honest fidelity to the county at large. Enjoying amply the means of doing good, he was never more happy than in doing it. The poor have lost in him a liberal benefactor; his intimates a kind and sincere friend. It is remarkable, that Mr. Galbraith had been taken notice of, as listening with the most marked attention, on the day before his death, to a sermon preached in the parish Church of Omagh, on the uncertainty of human life. If the sermon required an illustration, it has, in this instance, met with one of the most awful and impressive sort.
