GREAT FALL OF Flesh AND BiooD.-
On Wednesday last, says the Fayette-
vile IN. C) Carolinian, we received
the following communication from
Mr.. Clarkson, through Mr.. Holland OF
Clinton, and take great pleasure in
laying the astounding particulars
before our readers:
ION the 18th February, 1850. there
fell within 100 yards Of the residence
of Thomas M. Clatkson, in Sampson
county. a shower Off flesh and blood,
about 80 feet wide. and as far as 1t
was traced about. $50 or 300 yards in
length. The pieces appeared TO be
flesh, liver, lights, brains and blood.
Some of the blood ran on the leaves
apparently very fresh. Three Of his
(ClaTkson's) children were in it, and
ran to their mother, excldiming MO
ther, there Is meet falling" Their
mother went immediate TO see, but
the shower was over; but there lay
the flesh, elc. Neil Campbell Esq,
living close by, was on the spot
shortly after il fell, and pronounced
il as above. One Of his children was
$50 yards from the shower, and
came to the rest saying he smelt
something like blood. During the
time it was falling there was a cloud
overhead, having red appearance
like a wind cloud. There was no
rain.
@The above you may rely on, and
By Mr.. Holland you have pieces of
the flesh, which are reduced in size

be no doubt that il is such. Il is

miles Of a village Ohirteen miles S-W

no one felt interest enough IN il TO 90

three weeks before any account of il

deeming 1t impossible that such a
thing could have occurred. The

have been Of a red appearance which

Friends and opponents cfMaj r., thought he
was at least popular in Posey county. But
the result is before US in figures. Twenty
votes declare the number Of devoted followers
he has in that county! Our opinion OF his
face has materially altered. He must now
confess: that with the extreme length of his

upon him than US as curiosity. We said
his face blackguarded him. Now we humbly
apologize to his phiz, for ugly as it is, he
must certainly scandalize it.
