Editors DiSpatCh \ very large and bril-
}igni meteor was observed in this region
I9>t saturday night. The writer was in the
ncichborheod OF Providence, Halifax coun-
y. nj Major Henry Carrington's, eleven
miles southwest from my house. About l
o'clock several Of the family at Major Car
rin.;on's were awakened by loud report.
followed by rcverberations and ratEinS OF
windows. which. although there was some
thing peculiar IN the sound. was mistaken
for thunder. In the mOrnin" the matter
was discussed, and il was concluded that 1t
could not nave been thunder, but possibly
IN explosion OF gun-powdcr, or OF nitro
giyc"TInc. or perhaps an earthquake. But
on returning home Yesterday evening |
learned that my hired man. Robert Stuart,
who happened TO be out nj the time, was sud-
denly surprised by 4 brilliant light. brighter
than Of the full moon, indeed, rs it seemed
10 him. almost like the light OF the sun.
Looking up lie saw large, bright object
moving across the heavens in 4 direction, as
near rs could determine from careful in
curry, 81 west 10 east, or somewhat north OF
east. perhaps. and at about the height OF
the North star. He saw no signs OF any cN-
plo>jnn. Moving Off few yards, as he
stood in wonder and fear. he thinks about
ten minutes (but Of course il could hardly
hay" been 20 long, loud explosion was
heard from the direction OF east by north,
followed by something like rolling thunder,
which continued for some time.
| have not Yet seen any one else who Wit
messed the phenomenon, but we shall doubt
less hear from il through many others.
The above is contributed to aid in gather
iny the data necessary to determine the pro-
babe size and distance Of this remarkable
meteor. l. will be observed that the point
in Halifax where the sound was so dis
tinct!y heard was in the opposite direction
from that in which (at my house, the meteor
was seen. II. A. BROWN.
"Unce Robert" described the meteor as
being OF the size of his double-fsts- di-

necfx.Haus2 40 the Henri.

A desperate tragedy occurred on the
steamer Tangier, at Snow Hill, Saturday
evening last. Between one OF the deck.
hands, Caleb Kellanl, and the assistant
cook, John Harding, ill-feeling had existed
for some time. Kellam was said to have
been OF a turbulent disposition, though a
good hand, and Harding had repeatedly
warned him that II he did not let him alone
he would "knife him." The occasion pre-
sented itself at about twenty minutes be.
fore G O'Clock on the evening mentioned.
A fresh difficulty arose between the men,
who soon came to blows, and Harding
getting the worst Of it, ran to the kitchen,
caught up buteher-knife with blade six
inches long and one inch wide, and rushing
upon Kellam plunged the knife into his
bosom. The victim barely gasped that he
was "Stabhed," and fell upon the deck.
He did not live five minutes
The murderer was promptly seized by the
officers OF the boat and handed over to Con-
stable Thomas Porter, who lodged him safely
in Jail. DR.. Charles Jones, coroner OF Snow
Hill, summoned Jury OF inquest, which
rendered verdict in accordance with the
above facts. A brother OF the deceased
took charge of the remains and brought
them to Onancock, whence they were trans
ferred to his friends on Pungoteague creek,
in this county.
Kellam had been in the employment Of
the Eastern Shore Steamboat Company for
four years; was twenty-five years OF age,
and has young wife living in Baltimore, to
whom he had been married only few
months. Harding is about eighteen years
OF age. and has mother living IN Baltimore.

MURDER OF A STAGE-DRIvER-NARR ES-
CAPE OF THE PAssESGERs.- Deadacood, d.
r., March 2G.-A bold attempt to rob the
Cheyenne and Black Hills stage, bound
north, was made here last evening. As the
coach was coming down Whitewood Canon,
about two and half miles from Deadwood,
five masked men, walking along the road
before the stage, suddenly wheeled. order
cd the driver to stop, and instantly COM
mcnced firing on the coach. At the first
fire Johnny Slaughter, the driver, was kill
cd, and Walter Her, OF Deadwood, slightly
wounded in the hand and arm. The horses
started suddenly, throwing tho driver, Her,
and another passenger Oft the coach. The
stage was not stopped until it arrived in
town, leaving the driver on the road dead.
About twenty shots were fired at the coach.
but all the passengers, except Her, were
unhurt. A party went out and found the
body OF the driver, with charge Of buck

Destructive Dam Disaster.

TWO MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY
LOsT-TuIRTY HOUSES DESTROYED.
STAFFORD, Conn.,, March 27.-The dam OF
Stafordale reservoir gave way this morn
ing, damaging this village fearfully. The
railroad freight-house and all the cars were
washed. The Stafford National Bank, Con-
gregational church, and about fifteen other
buildings were washed away. The damage
to the railroad track is heavy.
HARTFORD, March 27.-1t is probable that
the loss at Stafford above will alone be two
millions Of dollars. State Senator Julius
Converse telegraphs that all the dams on
the stream from Stafordville to point be-
low the springs, with all the bridges, are
gone. Probably not less than thirty houses
were destroyed, and the loss will be very
large. The dam was considered safe, but
the heavy rains OF Monday afternoon and
evening filled the reservoirs to overlooking.
The breaking away was wholly uneXpect-
ed, but the reservoir being set some dis
lance above the village, the alarm reached
the people in time for them to effect their
safety.
