A Wonderful Meteor.

FROM the DeS 5OlneS Register
A gentleman in the city yesterday from
the vicinity of Red Rock gives some incl
dents in the history of the big meteor. Two
men from that village were fishing In the
river, two miles from town, uader the
shadow of an immense rock. Suddenly the
place was lighted up with more than mid
day glow. To the startled fishermen it ap-
peared to rise directly from the water. Ter.
ritied almost out OF their wits they hastily
abandoned their fishing implements, and
struck out for their homes, "nor cast one
lingering look behind"
The meteor crossed the river on its lumi-
nous way and next awoke the fears OF a
farmer between there and Newton. The
night was excessively cold, and the farmer,
with three big daughters, were out caring
for some swine that hadn't lived long
enough to enjoy blizzard.
Each Girl had pig in her apron, and the
old matt had two in his arms. Suddenly the
screaming, blazing meteor appeared. Each
damse thought it was some heavenly visit
ant, or something from that other place, and
dropped the pigs in prayerful haste. The pa
ternal ancestor incontincntly played ostrich,
running bis head into hay-stack, leaving
the coat-.ai part of him to bear the attack of
the Evil Que. BY the time the old man got
his nose full Of hay-seed the meteor bad
passed, and the girls recovered sufficiently to
inform him of that fact. The se'ial messen.
ger was travelling so near the earth at this
place that it clipped off branches from the
trees. Below we give letter from Pro-
fessor Leonard, OF the State University, at
Iowa, City, giving short description of the
tire-ball IS il appeared to observers there.
and asking for full descriptions by those who
saw it from other points:

We have in our office a small stand in
which we keep our private papers, and ev-
rybody that comes in is sure to sit down on
it. and it is weak in the legs already. The
otlier day we took a piece of zinc, and driv-
ing it full of sharp tacks, nailed it on the
top of the stand, the points of the tacks up.
Our friends began to sit down on it not 50
much any more, but recently, while stand
ing by this stand talking to m old lady, who
wanted the paper for a dollar and eighty
cents in artichokes, we forgot ourself and
sat down on it; but we weren't tired and got
up so suddenly that the old lady snatclled
her umbrella and went down the steps six
steps at a jump. and there's been vacant
chair at our table for the last three meals
