On Saturday evening last, about

ten o clock, a meteor of very considerable magnitude, was seen in the

heavens, at this place. Its general

appearance was globular, and un

commonly luminous: it moved with great velocity from northeast to south

west, and on its disappearance it

explosion was distinctly heard. It

was visible lor a considerable num

her of seconds, during which time.

its light' penetrated all our windows.

and caused many persons, by it? brightness, involuntarily to close their eyes; it shone during its con

tinuance, with such a lustre that it

completely eclipsed the lights of fire

and candles, so much that they ap

peared to be useless lor the purpose

Various fanciful theories have hern proposed on the iubjef t of these

meteorites. Oue is, that some les

ser planet has exploded, when its to

jhoion was overcome by the explo

sive force, and smaller fragments thrown beyond the power of attrac

tion of the larger fragments, would fall to the eartii,if Mars should happen to be in a remote part of his orbit. Others suppose them to be

formed from vapour which in its as

cent from the earth becomes ignited beautiful, visit Lake George, ibr its'perspiration, and in two or three niC!il of

or set on lire by some chemical or

electrical process of the atmosphere.

A very remarkable luminious meteor was seen near L' Aide, in

France, in the year 1003. A elobe

of fire of uncommon splendor was sVJen. moving towards, the north.

There was at L, Aigle and for thirtv

leagues round in every direction, a

violent explosion which lasted five

or six minutes. This was followed

by a noise like the discharge of musketry, succeeded by a rumbling like

the beat of a drum. From this me

teor there was discharged a shower

of stones which weighed 17 l-2lbs.

It is to be hoped that the editors ofj

papers will be very particular in
