A Great Aer0lite!

A very large and brilliant aerolite has re-
Gently fallen in Cbeatham county, Tennessee
A party of men at work in the fields about
10 miles from Nashville, at about one o'clock
on the 18th Of August, were startled by a
pale red glare that seemed to overspread the
clouds just north OF the zenith, the rest of
the heavens being at the time darkly over
cast. Suddenly they saw white object fall
obliquely from tunnel-like aperture, the
sides OF which seemed to be jagged clouds in
tensely luminous. The object descended at
an angle OF from ten to fifteen degrees from
the perpendicular, and struck the earth near
by with terrific noise and with such ire
mendous force as to shake all the surround
ing country,iand to loosen and throw down
trees from the rocky hillsides adjacent 1t
struck upon seamless ledge OF limestone
about three feet in Misunderstanding it for
distance of fifty feet and throwing the frag-
ments in every direction for many rods At
the point of contact, the rock when first WIS.,
tied was covered with fine, white fioury
paste, and from the aperture steam assembled,
and the place was so hot that no one could
approach it TOR three days. At the end of
that time, the ground having become cooled
by showers, though a very high and dense
column of steam continued to arise, a gang of
men were set to work to dig out the celestial
missile. After working through the ledge,
which had already been sufficiently ablastcd,"
they found the aeroite at the depth of 20
feet in blue clay. 1t was still hot, and cover
ed with film of oxide 1.-THE floury paste was
probably some of the oxide,) and was of
concal shape, the point downward, with an
altitude OF about seven feet and l,ase cir

Tennesseeans are moving to have it kept at
their own State Capital. This body is one OF
the smallest Of the great multitude of bodies
that fill the interplanetary spaces, the comets
being the largest. According to the latest as
Economical theories, the sun is kept hot and

Miscellany.
early Fall Fashions.
THE SEPTEMBER STYLES.

THE SEPTEMBER LES
There is little change in some OF the styles
for early fall wear in others the change is
more marked; and the new modes and style
OF trimming are decidedly novel. Many of
the suits for street wear at first Sight appear
to be entirely new; but on closer eXamina-
ton the novelty is found to consist princi-
pally in the new and artistic manner of ar
ranging the trimming. Dresses are now
trimmed with cross-cut folds, corded with
satin and edged with gimp; also satin gimp,
pufs, f1ounces or narrow Iuflles. When only
one tiounce is used, il is placed at the bottom
OF the dress, and is about ten inches deep,
headed by gimp or narrow satin iold The
newest style in sleeves is to have high puff
at the top, and hall way is a wide rutfle that
falls in deep point extending to the hand.
In dress bodices, the suIplice waist is
something new, or rather an Old style reviv-
ed. A plain front, which is Joined for lew
inches above the belt has an over front
plated in at the shoulder seams, and the belt
and the plated fronts crossing each other
form a point below the neck Under this
surplice waist chemisette or underwaist is
worn, composed of the finest of linen or mus
lin, and either Mechlin lace or Vaenciennes.
Cluny lace is no longer worn-washmg does
not renew it, but the richer laces look well
until Worn out. Sashes suspended from the
back OF the belt are DO longer fashionable If
worn at all, the ends are caught up on the
skirt, forming loops. Bows are worn at the
back OF the belt, both belt and bow being
made of the same material as the dress.
The ''panner" style has been slow i'll viii
ming favor, as it was first introduced last
spring, though but little worn. Now it is de-
cidedly fashionable, and will be extensively
adopted. and ii the fullness is in moderation
will be very becoming to a slender form.
Yet when made in the extreme of fashion,
and worn by short or stout figure, it is not
attractive. The hustle will also be fashion,
able and generally adopted, as it will be a
necessity il pannier skirt is worn. Hoop
skirts are TO be trifle larger at the bottom
and about the same size at the top as now
worn, except the addition Of hustle. Trains
are worn shorter than formerly, but long
dresses are made full at the back, gored at
the sides and in front, and elaborately trim
med with rich costly gimp and fringe.-N. Y.

ETHAN ALLEN AND HIS BROTHER In
IT'S Ethan Allen made complaint to the
Court of Confscation charging his brother
Levi with being "Torey," and with talking
and using Influence in favor of the Enemy,
Assocating with Inimical persons to this
Country, and with them monopolizing the
Necessaries of life, hurting the Continental
Currency and in Particular hath exerted him
self in the Most Fa!lacious manner to injure
the Property land Character of some of the
most Jealous friends to the independently of
the United States and of this State Likewise
all which Inimical Conduct is against the
peace and Dignity Of the freemen of this
State" The brother was arrested and con-
fined in JAIL After his release he sent Ethan
a formal challenge to fight duel with pistols,
but it was not accepted. Levi was the most
eccentric of the Allen brothers, and a me
mOir of him would be more entertaining than
an average romance. AIS
