The following account of another act of piracy committed within our waters, was yesterday forwarded to us from the brig Ant, arrived at Quarantine. It was furnished to Capt. Sabin by the captain of a
Swedish ship, who a short time previous, fell in with the Mary.
"Brig Mary, Capt. Benjamin Carrico from New Orleans, bound for St. Jago de Cuba, after being two days out from the Balize, distant about sixty miles, in a calm, was boarded by an open boat with nine pirates, armed with guns, pistors, knives and cutlasses, who plundered the brig of money, plate, merchandise, wearing apparel, liquors, provisions, & c. & c. supposed to amount about five thousand dollars these same pirates have often been seen in New Orleans, and no doubt will occasionally visit that city again. It will be well to have this affair published as soon as possible they often threatened to set fire to the brig and destroy every soul on board.

In Beverly, yesterday afternoon, killed by lightning, Mrs. Deborah Carrico, age 40. The electric fluid first struck the chimney, at which it appears to have separated, and proceeded in opposite directions, as the roof on both sides is very much shattered. In its progress down the south western side, it was attracted by a saw, hanging in the garret, one end of which touched the roof. It then proceeded in a perpendicular direction, perforated a small hole through the chamber floor, and struck the head of the deceased, who was standing at a closet door, directly under its descent. A wound was inflicted on one side of the head, and marks of its progress were visible on the back of the deceased, as well as on her clothes, which with her hair were much scorched. From this point the fluid appears to have scattered in
all directions; for many parts of the building are in ruins - floors ripped up, plastering stripped off, doors torn from their hinges, crockery scattered and broken, and looking glasses fractured. There was another lady sitting by the window in the same room with the deceased, who remained wholly uninjured. Another house within a few rods of this was greatly shattered by the next discharge of the fluid. A lady and her child, who were sitting at the window, were considerably injured, though not so as to be thought dangerous. For many years we have not heard such heavy thunder, or seen such terrific lightning.
8/7/1823 Essex Register
Damage by Lightining. On Monday last, during the afternoon, evening, and at midnight, we had a great deal of heavy thunder and vivid lighting, attended with copius showes of rain, and some hail. In this town, although the thunder was incessant, and the electric fluid descended in every direction around us, no material damage was sustained but we have heard of several disasters in other places. In Beverly, the lightning struck two dwelling houses, the partiuclars of which are related in the following communication received from that town:
Beverly, Aug. 6, 1823
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. On Monday afternoon, during a violent thunderstorm, the house occupied by Mr. Peter Homans, and the Widow Carrico, was struck with lightning. It struck upon the north side of the top of the chimney, tearing off about a dozen bricks it then descened upon the north and south sides of the chimney, taking its course on the north side of the house down the roof, between the boarding and shingling, tearing up the shingles and splitting the boards in various directions for 5 or 6 feet it then passed down the roof between the boards and shingles, doing not much damage until came to the casing of the door, when it again burst forth from between the boards and clapboards, tearing off some part of the casing and mouldings, and passed down and went off on the ground. On the south side of the roof the damage was still greater it extended more in width, but when about 6 or 8 feet from the chimney, it came in contact with a saw which was hanging from one of the rafters in the garret, directly under the course in which it was proceeding it then followed the plate down to the garret floor, the lower part of the saw being not more than 6 or 8 inches from the floor the frame of the saw was split in various directions, and the heads of the screws which confined the plate into the frame, were nearly melted it then went down through the floor, directly underthe saw, and came out through the plastering in the south chamber, in which were the widow Carrico and daughter, and Mrs. Homans, they being all the persons in the house Mrs. Carrico was in the act of opening the closet door, standing directly under the place where the lightning came through, and, dreadful to relate, received the whole shock upon her head, prostrating her a lifeless corpse upon the floor; it passed down her right side and back, tearing and burning her flesh and clothes in a dreadful manner her shoe on her right foot was torn and burnt almost to pieces it then passed down through the floor directly under her right foot into the kitchen closet and other parts of the room, destroying the crickery in the closet, tearing the wood work and plastering in various parts of the room the ceiling round the fire-place and chimney pieces were very much shattered and split it entered the pantry, destroying the plastering, Etc. and proceeded through the pantry floor into the cellar wall, and from thence out of the cellar wall, and from thence out of the cellar window, breaking the glass and demolishing everything with which it came in contact. Fro, the kitchen also it went into the side and front rooms, doing some damage. The other two persons in the house were stunned, but not hurt. Medical aid was immediately called, but to no purpose alas, the vital spark had flown, leaving four children, and numerous connections, to mourn the loss of a tender parent, and a kind friend.
