Fan Of on immense lIoroorIo Body.

The Oswego Palladium gives the following
account of the descent of an immense meteoric
body in Oswego county:
On Wednesday yesterday morning, the IN
habitants ofthe towns Of Boyston and Redheld,
in this county, were started by the occurrence
of a most remarkable phenomena-the descent
from the heavens of an immense meteoric mass.
The body struck the earth between the houro OF
3 and A. NJ, with a crash that was truly ter
rife, and the shock was sensibly felt and peo-
pie aroused from their sleep at distance ofnye
miles from the scene The body fell upon the
farm of Horace Sanger situated on the line
of Boylston and Redfeld striking in mead
ow and partially on the highway. 1t is estlma-
ted by our informant TO cover about half an
acre of land. The earth was torn up in terri
Bile manner, and large fragments were thrown
distance of two thirds Of a mile. The mass
is very irregular in shape, and rises at some
points to sixty and eighty feet in height, and is
supposed TO be imbedded in the earth as many
feet The excitement Occasioned by the event
among the inhabitants was intense, and the
crash is said to have been terrific beyond de
scrption. Many supposed that the final wind
ing up ofterrestial affairs had truly arrived.

Tbs WHEAT.--Notwithsta the losses by
the late FROST and the croaE gs of many long
feed individuals, both in town and country, IL
is now admitted, by the best judges we have,
that there is prospect Of more wheat being
gathered the coming harvest in this county,
than there was last year The reason why is,
the wheat that is good, is very good indeed, and
the amount of land sown, greater than at any
former season.
The farmers on the Pickaway Plains have
commenced cutting wheat, and their fields
promise an abundant yield
A committee of the Ross County Agricultu-
raj Society have examined the wheat along the
scioto bottoms, and on the uplands in that
county, and their report looks decidedly fayora-
bic for good crop.
OArs.-Fears are entertained by MANY Of Our
farmers in this section Of the State that the
coming oats crop will prove failure, the same
as last year Columbus Gas l7h

LEWIS tAoo
This explicit abjuration on the part of the
present Democratic administration at Washing
ton of its duty Of protection in the premises,
has fallen upon the adopted citizens Of this
country " like a thunderbolt from the clear
sky"
II is thus manifest that for that equal protec-
ton under the laws at home aud abroad to
which the adopted citizens of the United States
hold themselves entitled, the nearest hope OF
redress must be in the administration which
will Immediately succeed the present one
Believing, too, that the political forces OF the
country opposed to the existing administration,
and the Democratic party, will, in all proba-
bility, carry the approaching election for the
Presidency; and that you, Sir, are representa-
tive of those conservative principles upon which
these opposition elements may be most readily
combined, we avail ourselves of your presence
in this city to address you upon the important
issue involved IN this aforesaid letter from the
Secretary Of State. We have accordingly, to
ask the favor of an early reply to the following
inquiries
FIRST. In this aforesaid official letter, has not
the Secretary of State misrepresented the bonds
of naturalization and the duty Of the Govern
ment under it.
Second Do not the Constitution, the laws
and the spirit of naturalization involve in the
same absolute degree, the reciprocal engage
mcnts of allegiance and protection.
Entertaining the opinion that foreign born
citizens Of this country, Of all natlvities, will
henceforth be a unit upon this issue between
allegiance and protection, we have the honor to
subscribe ourselves:
