4 Phenomenon.

! a little before noon. last week Tuesday
a volume of smoke was seen TO arise from
the held south of Mr.. G. W. Elv's barn at
EiyVIlIe. 1t was so singular in appearance
as TO attract attention. Near the ground
the volume of smoke was black. but as it
assembled it expanded aud assumed a light
er hue. The man who first discovered it
proceeded to the place aud found it arose
from dark spot upon the grass but few
inches in circumference. and from dark
substance. somewhat of the nature and
consistency of gelatin. and when he plac-
ed his foot upon it with the view of eXtin-
gushing it. the more it burned. 1t would
not out. An OdOr arose from it resemb-
ling that from phosphorus. yet slightly
SulphurOus. \ stone OF the size of a hens
egg was found upon the ground within
the smoking circle. and to which adhered
Il portion OF the glutinOus substance from
which the smoke or fire proceeded. The
stone may have been and doubtless was. up
on the ground where the intlammable sub
stance fell. No one seems able to account
for the singular circumstance except upon
the supposition that it was OF a meteOric
character.
