ANOTHER SnowER OF FLRSR AND BLooo-Mr. Ed.
tor IL suppose it will be remembered by some
newspaper readers thst in the year 1871, accounts
one in Tennessee. and the other in Massachusetts
am now about to relate q similar Circumstance
which lately occurred in our own State Mr.. VIM.
NJ; !Htow, gentleman Of und"ubted veracity, Fela-
ted it to me as follows: On Saturday last, whilst he
and his two sons were picking cotton on his planla-
ton, lin Laurens District, near Enorea river about
two miles below MUsgrOve's Mill the younger son
him, listen, for he heard some thing falling mar
him. Thew thought he was mistaken, and paid but
little attention TO it but he insisted, and told them
If they would come, he would show it to them on
be pieces Of meat varying frem the size Of an ounce
ball to larger than hens egg. They were scat
tered several feet apart, over space OF ground
some twenty or thirty yards in width: and they ex-
amlned 1t tor something like Do yards IN length but
did not GO to the end Of it.
Iwasinformed of it yesterday, and went in COM
pany with two gentlemen, 10 visit the place in per-
SON. We were so lucky as to ind some Of the art-
appearance Of flesh Of the finest mould, much finer
than we had ever seen before. Some OF the pieces
seemed to be entirely fat, but most Of it lean very
red, and somewhat transparent, when held up to-
saw it, having lain "A hours.
The younger, VIM, Inslow, a very intelligent and
credible youth Of H. says he first heard few scat.
terng pieces fall. and looking up, saw the air dark
ened with them; and that it looked something like
snow falling slowly, when the fakes are very far
apart; but that the pieces tel! more rapidly. The
shower fell about the middle of the day, while the
sun was shining and few light clouds were in the
atmosphere but nothing visible could be assigned
as the cause for the phenomenon.
Various opinions aud eonjectures exist here about
the matter Some consider it natural occurrence,
while others view it as a sign from heaven. For
my own part, i am not a Mierite or ~ man, as
they are sometimes called, and therefore cannot per.
saade myself believe it is sign that the
natural cause assigned for it tina. appears reason.

exist, 1eave each one to form his own conclusions
