Fall of Meteoric Stones in Ohio.

From the Columbus Statesman, Nag 5.
A correspondent in New Concord, Mus
kingum Co., in letter published IN The
Statesman on Tuesday morning, men
toned singular phenomenon in that
neig hborhood on Tuesday. 1t vas al as
founding noise in the sky, like the roar of
cannon, which was followed by the fall
of a number of stones, weighing from two
to 6fty pounds. Since the date OF our
correspondents note we have received
other letters from the same region of coun-
try, which not only corroborate bis state
ment, but add greatly to the siDgularity
of the phenomena 1t appears that the
noise alluded to was heard through
wide range of country, and that stones of
the kind described were found, imbeddcd
in the earth in the same manner, miles a.
part. In Morgan, Muskingum, Coshoc-
ton, Morrow, and Tuscarawas Counties
the explosion was distinctly heard. Near
McCoDnellsville several boys observed
huge stone descend to the earth, which
they averred look like a red ball, leaving
line of smoke in its wake. A gentle
man walking in bis field, near New Con-
cord, heard terrific crasb, like thunder
which lasted half a minute, and then
plainly saw large body descending
through the air, in au angling direction,
With seloeity apparently much greater
than i. could have attained by it's oWn
momcntum. Going to the spot where is
touched the ground, he found rock
weighing over fifty pounds imbedded in
the earth depth of two feet. The phe-
nomena seems to be unprecedented
These stone were found nearly fifty miles
apart. although the explosion was heard
at all the places mentioned from the direc-
tion of New Concord Houses we're sha-
ken By the shock, and in one or two in
stances the doors bursted open. 1t occa-
stoned a great deal of CONSERVATION in
that section OF the country, as we'll it
might.

In Sandusky, Ohio, lives rich old fell
low who has, as is not uncommon,
charming daughter. The maiden loved,
as uaidcns will, and. perversel y enough,
the object of her affection vas the wrong
man, as the matter was viewed By the
father; the latter wished her to marry an
elderly rich man, while her motto vas,
youth 6rst, and wealth afterward. After
unsuccessful attempts to induce her to
consent to the unequal Duptials, the stern
old progenitor set out in a wagon to pro-
cure magistrate, determined that the
wedding should be done at once, aud
anyhow. 10 short time be returned in
great fright, went TO bed, and had long
6t of sickness. When his strength, re-
turning, gave him power of continued
speech, be explained the mystery by say
ing that be had seen bis wifel 1t ap-
pears that as be was jogging along after
the magistrate the ghost OF his departed
spouse came down from q tree into the
vehicle, took the Teius from his hand,
quietly turned the horses head and drove
her cowed busbsnd back to his home
Rather than have this thing happen a.
gain, he consented to give the daughter
to the poor but honest young man. and
since then his wife has not harassed him
by her unexpected presence or by rsmin-
iscences of domestic discipline.

Worthy of Imitation.

We think the manner in which the Ju-
ry upon the Harden trial performed their
final duty, is worthy of all praise. After
they had went into their room, having
been charged by the Judge, constable
was sent for a Bible-a chapter was theu
read by the foreman-tben all kneeied
down in prayer. 1t was thea agreed tha
each one should hand in his verdict, which
was unanimous as to the guilt OF the pris
oner. Each one rose in his place and
gave his reasons on which be founded his
opinion of the prisoner guilt. Then the
Jury closed with reading chapter and
prayer.

BY THE BARD OF THE EAsToN HALL OF FASHION.
Dandelion How'ret, though with careless eve,
Seekers after beauty, often pass thee by,
We can in thy forming, humble tho it be,
Natures might and handiwork, very clearly
see.
We trace it in the coloring, drawn from our
mother earth
In the medicinal qualities, which with thee
have their birth,
Like rare and signal virtues, of character
aud mind,
Which often hid meath meanest garb, in low
lest state we find.
Lake virtues, which superior rise above the
ills of life,
Which bloom again in radiance tho bowed
beneath its strife,
So dost thou, Dandelion, raise thy bright head
and laugh,
Enjoy Heavens glorious sunbeams, its gilt
ring dew drops quaff.
Though tranpled under foot, by the careless
and the gay,
If in the blooming fair parterre, thy footsteps
chance to stray.
Yes! there's beauty and there's worth In the
Dandelion flower,
And beauty and worth combined, will give TO
everything power.
These united, gave Pyle's clothing so very
| great a name,
And raised for his Emporium, almost world
wide fame.

live stock was killed; some of the hail
stones pierced the roofs of the bouses.-
The foregoing statements and the follow.

During the latter part of the afternoon
Of that day rumblings of distant thunder
were beard, giving warning that storm
was approaching, and at about six o clock

The clouds increased in magnitude till
within one half hour of sunset, when
slight drops of rain began to descen -
At this juncture the most magnificent, yet
fearfully portentous scene burst upon the
view that the human eye could possibly
behold. The heavens seemed to be en-
veloped ip a mantle of complete darkness.
With the exception of small space in the
sicinity of the sun, and though the sun
was in full view, yet it afforded no light,
