SINGULAR PHENoMESoS-On Friday evening
last, at about o'clock, beautiful meteor was
seen nearly north west from this place, about 30
degrees above the horizon. When first seen. it
had the appearance of a small ball of fire, de
scending slowly, but soon burst and formed what
distance apart, but apparently connected by a
small white chain. These clouds assumed various
shapes, the larger one taking that of a double
