FAIL OF METEORIC STONES IN ONO.
From The Zane,riue Courier.


An extraordinary phenomenon occurred on Tuesday,
about noon, which has been noticed in rany counties
in Eastern Ohio This occurrence, although II may bo
incredible 10 some, was certainly noticed by many In
different localities about the time. In this city
the explosion or noise diStincty heard. AT New
Concord, sixteen miles east, gentleman who was out
in his field heard large erash similar 10 sharp thun-
der, succession Of which lasted half minnie and
then died away like the sound of rccedng trgn Of
cars. On looking up he observed an object descending
with great rapdity in angling direction, and on
marking where it touched the earth be there found
stone imbedded two feet in the earth and some what
warm, weighing 50 pounds. Another was found of IS
pounds one of 40, and 80 pounds in weight, all
within the circumference of few miles. small
portion of one of these we have in our sanotum.
At Bellar the Conclusion was so strong as 10 force
open the large doors Of car house.
At Malaga some of the inhabitants were frightened,
thinking it an earthquake. The shock at GAINESVILLE
seemed to Jar the buildings to their foundations
Some boys were out in the woods near Mcconnell
yile which is perhaps thirty miles from Concord, aud
observed what they termed large red bali descending
TO the earth with fiery tail to it, but fright
ened as Immediately 10 return home.
From The Cogumbu. StGte.mGn, Mugs
a correspondent in New-Concord, Muskingum Co.,
in letter published in The Statesman on Tuesday
morning, mentioned singular phenomenon in that
neighborhood on Tuesday II was astounding noise
in the sky ike the roar of cannon, which fol-
lowed by the fall of number of stones weighing from
two to fifty pounds. Since the date OF our correspond
en note we have received other letters from the same
ment but add greatly TO the snpularty of the phe-
nomena. 1t appears that the noise alluded 10 was
heard through wide range Of country, and that stones
of the kind described FOUND freshly imbeddei in
the earth in the manner, miles apart. In Morgan
Muskingum, Coshocton Morrow and Tuscarawas
Counties the explosion distinctly heard. Near
NcCOnnellsyille several boys observed huge stone
descend 10 the earth which they averred looked like
a red ball. leaving line of smoke in its wake. gen
teman walking in bis field near New-COncord, heard
a terrific crash, like thunder, which lasted half min
ute and then plainly saw large body descending
through the air. in angling direction with velocity
apparently much greater than it could have attained by
it, own momentum Going to the spo, where il touched
the ground, he found rock weighing fifty pounds
imtedded in the earth depth of two feet. The phe-
nonena TO lie unprecedented. These stones
found nearly fifty miles apart, although the explosion
heard at all the places mentioned from the diree-
ton of Concord. Houses were shaken by the
shock and in ore two instances the doors hursted
open. Ii occasioned great deal Of CONSERVATION in
that section of the country, as well Is might.

Such is the absorbing interest with which this

has watched the proceedings of the Convention,
that our readers are, doubtless before this OF
the secession of a number of the Southern delega-

Journed and he uncertainty in which, up 10 the
last moment its probable action was involved,
preclude any extended comment upon the move
ment in question or its consequences The cleo
ton of Mr. DOUGLAS, if he should be nomi
mated under such circumstances, would seem
to be impossible; and the future union of
the Democratic Party in the coming contest
strikes us as being equally hopeless What
course either section may now pursue and
what chance either may have of accomplishing
anything by which the country is likely to be
benefited, we are not prepared to say. Coniec-

If not preposterous. We must, therefore, await
