A METEOR.

Richmond, Kir. May 2s.-On Thursday
Evening, between sun down and dusk a
large and brilliant Meteor shot across the
Sky. 1t seeraed to shoot from the South
east to the Northwest. We understand,
that to some eyes tappeared to Hy overthe
Capitol-was a large ball-and exhibited
long train behind it. But indications Of
the size, distance and direction OF these
bodies, are very deceptive. Our informant
states that at night, it would have been
singuIarly bright.
The atmosphere was uncommonly clear,
and the stars peculiarly brilliant. About
10 o'clock, Jupiter, as he was descending
to the western horizon, looked almost as
bright as Venus herself-and Mars famed
with an unwonted fire.-Arcturus sparkled
with extraordinary beauty, and even AL
phpcca in the Corona Boreals looked like
star of the first magnitude. The late
rain seemed to have washed down almost
every atom which could obscure the vision
The whole armament seemed to be hung
with little sparkling lamps. Nor were
these the only lights which attracted the
eye; for in the space of ten minutes. as We
stood surveying the heavents, two mi.
nor dazzling meteors famed out and van
ished.
