, Extraordinary pheraomenon.

/ The Fayetteville NORTH Caroliniam, of the 9th
instant, contains communication from Mr. T.
M. Clarkson, of Sampson county, in that State,
that, con the 18th February, 1850, there fell,
within one hundred yards of the residence of
Thomas M. Clarkson, in Sampson county, "a
shower of flesh and blood, about thirty feet wide,
and as lar as it was traced-about two hundred
and fifty or three hundred yards in length The
pieces appeared to be flesh, liver, lghts, brains,
and blood Some ofthe blood ran on the leaves,
apparently very fresh. r..,B "a, ar.zs@tf e8
"During the time it was falling there was a
cloud over head, having a red appearance, like
a wind-cloud. There was no rain .sEas4 :sit5
piece Of the flesh was sent to the editor Of
of the North Carolinian, who says: ,.,,s, VIA s..
"Thc piece which was left with US, has been
examined with two Of the best microscopes in
the place; and the existance of blood was estab
lished; but nothing was shown giving any in
dication of the character of the matter. ~
I" 1t has the smell, both in its dry state, and
when macerated in water of purtrd flesh, and
there can be scarcely doubt that it is such.''
If this great fall of flesh and blood be not
hoax, it can only be accounted for on the sup
position, that some dead carcass has been forced
into the atmosphere by whirlwnd, and dropped
on the farm of MIR. Clarkson. 1t could not, we
think, have been generated in the air. We in
cline to the opinion, either that there is no truth
in the statement, that the chrildren of Mr.. c.,
who discovered the flesh and blood, were mista-
kin in supposing that it descended from the
clouds. ..-t,,.. /l.-i}.

More about our School Law.

DR.. HoLT--Legisation to be of benefit, must
be practical; or, in other words, the provisions
of a law must point out the best method Of ac-
complishing it's object, in order to command the
assent of public opinion. The farmer on the
prairie may raise good crop of corn, for in
stance, with hoe: but he can raise it with more
case to to himself and at ! a the cost, by using
the plow; consequently, the latter is the best
method So of school legislation. [ shall en-
deavor to show that our Legislation on the SUBJ
ject, does not point out the best way of coming
at the desired result, viz: the Education Of oar
children. ,...... s..
One grand objection to all the school laws
which we have had, is, the superabundance of
officers which they provide for in every depart
ment. Take township, ifyou can find one,
which is settled up. Now, the least number of
school districts which we can have, with con-
venience, is four, and according to law we must
have twelve officers, stalL good men md ruc,'
to manage the business. Well, what is the bu-
siness? Why, all they have to do in reality, af-
