A Meteor as Big as a Small House.

[Dauionego C'enuu'dl.] The must remarkable meteor that we have ever heard of was seen by a number <»t our tewnsmen on Monday night afeout 10 o’clock. From several persons who saw it we gather that it presented the apperance of a round bak of lire! without a -tail, about the size of a small house, moving Irom the southeast to the northwest When it nad gone nearly, out of sight in the distance, it was seen to exnlode Some two or three minutes after it disappeared a loud, rattling, rumbling noiae was heard, first in the southeait and endirg in the northwest.
