NEW PHENOMENON.

VIENNA, April 5.
Sr1RIA-in the G,ante Gazetlc, there is
the following account from Sdlmthal, in the
circle of Marburg;
6 On the 4th of March this wear. at Q
IN the evening, we bad m this p.iehbor.
mood an entirely new Phenomenon. on two
estates of Count Kuenburg. A yiol.x.

passed from the Westward towards shs
South east, that is, from the Schwartz
Alps towards the Vineyards of Geyith. o.
yer the mountain castle of Ropleheca. with
in which the parish church: when sudden.
" the gilded cross on TIE steerle of this
chu oh seemed to be in flames, which lipht.
ened the county all arouod. and at The
same time a sort of cracking ur hissi1g
noIge was beard from the steeple. as when
water Is poured on rYd-lot iron. This
ias'ed for whole quarter of an hour. and
Ten rather an unpleasant smell. The next
day the cross was almost black, but jt now
begins toresume its former brightness.
+" With a telescope one can perceiOe that
something niiammabc fixed itself on the
iron. AT the same time similar Pheno-
meHln ppeared at the top OF the steepIe
OF Wee,burs, only ;hc fire was smaller and
OF shorter duration. II IS strange that
tuese electrical flames appear only on those
two steep!es, which ave almost a German
mile (Jivs English miles, distant from
eech other, though there are other stcepIcs
IN the line between them, snme of them of
the same height on which nothing similar
was perceived.

furnishes the peasants with matter of vafi-
aus cohjectures. II he'd most resemblance
