Ha.We saw ar unusually fine meteoritc
IN the west on Friday evening last. Its mo-
ton lsays the Alexandria Gazette as near as
could be estimated by the eye, was due south,
or at right angles to the celestial equator, and
extended over SPACE of from eighteen to
twenty degrees. The nucleus disappeared in
the Heavens about one and half degrees
north of the star Deneboia, in the tail of the
Lion, this star being at That moment some
ten degrees above the western horizon. Its
flight was rapid, but the light given out for
a few moments was sufficiently intense to il
illuminate the whole heavens, being attributed
by many to flash Of lightning. 1t disap-
peared at eleven minutes past nine, leaving a
distinct trace of its train for several seconds
thereafter. The origin of these mysterious
bodies lie involved in much obscurity.
