THUNDER IN ENGLAND.

An early English author writes:

“Thunders in the morning signifie wynde: about noone, rayne; in the

evening great tempest.

“Somme wryte (their ground I see not) that Sondayes thundre should

brynge the death of learned men, judges, and others; Mondayes thundre,

the death of women; Tuesdayes thundre, pleantie of graine; Wednesdayes

thundre, much blodshede; Thursdayes thundre, pleantie of shepe and

corne; Fridayes thundre, the slaughter of a great man and other horrible

murders; and Saturdayes thundre, a generall pestilent plague and great

deathe.”
