| .Me0rs. Editors.--I have tha pleasure of
communicating e you (tor publication in your

| grandest scenes which ever behc!d in nv
life i was the explosion Of a very large me-
teor +; the appearance Of which, 70 me, was as
follows On Saturday, evening last. about 10
! q cloCk, as was returning home On horseback
between the houses Of Nicholas Gros and
Henry |. Frey, Esq. on the Mohawk turn
pike, there sudden flash Of an immense
hody Of fire, which appeared TO have is origin
in The heavens nearly over my head, anJ ex-
tended 10 the earth aud spread itself far and
wide around me. This astonishing light was
almost Inslaptaneously followed by momen-
airy darkness, which appeared TO be caused
by some cloud or other substance impervious
10 light, coming between me and the source
q The brilliant light above. This short space
Of darkness was soon dispeIeI, and the bIaz-
'nG meteor was IN foil view over NY head :;
which seemed to me, to be as much as twenty
or thirty feet in diameter; il soon began 10 ex-
tend itself 70 The northe as and southwest az
he extension increased tie circumference of
lhe flaming body appeared to decrease, until
that region OF the hemisphere in which the
luminous body was first seen, was perfectly
clear Of any uncommon appearance.
BY Ibis line nothing was TO be seen, but
Tue two detached parts Of the meteor, rapidly
pursuing their march in the different directions
aforementioned and gradually esscnng il size
until they entirely vanished From The FIRST
appearance, 10 the faol vanishing Of the me-
eor, was, as near as can reco!ect, about
FIVE or six minutes. Between six and ten
minutes from its FIRST appearance, tue repon
of the explosion reached me it resembled
that Of distant heavy cannon, and as have
been told by several persons, very sensibly
affected their houSes.-Soon aher.the whole
scene was over, experienced strong sui
phureous smell, verging somewhat to that Of
garlic, which lasted fifteen or twenty minutes.
Yours, very respectfully,

SUPPORT OF TIVE ROOF.

The state OF Connecticut contracted with an
Poor, at reduced price per head, and he was
to make what he could of their labor. Not one,
we are told, would consent to be supported on
such terms-and of cour Sc did without support

Of New York much frequented by begsars, took
care every year to purchase very large tough
logs, for his frewood he could not get it sawed
by common sawycrs, and usually stored il: when
any one able to work asked his charity, he would
in reply offer work on bis wood, and wages but
he found few who would not take their chance
