FALECIRR.—WATERSPOUT.—A striking and unusual
phenomenon was observed at Falkirk on Wednesday. The
day had been unusually warm, perhaps the hottest of the
season—thermometer standing at 78 in the shade, and a
suffocating sultriness gave the heavens quite a tropical cha-
racter. Towards six o'clock, p.m.,
