SAD DEATH OF JOHN sHARpLEY.

/ taNt#Hb
Yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock, Will,
Patrick Hesly, . resident of Brandywin.
Hundred, was coming into Wilmington By
way Of the Concord Pike, found csrriag.
robe on the roadside, he picked 1t up resolv-
ing to leave It at tho toll-gate, where its
owner would b most likely to obtain It
going few yards hs was hsrriaed to find
mas cold in death IN the summer read
about midway between the Blue BAH and
Sharplsy's school house. Upon searchina
his pockets ho found the name of John
Sharply upon letter Or some paper; i'm.
medistey going, to the nearest house in
sight, he met tho cousin of the dead man
also named John sharpiey, who recognized
the body ~ that Of John sharpley, ESQ.,,
tho father Of Mr.. Harry Sharpley, senator
from this county to tho General Assembly
The body presented no evidence of violence
An abrasion under the left eye being the
only mark upon It. Il was Immediately
taken to his former residence, t. vthe sad
and fearful amazement Of his family.
Coroner Rose held an inquest yesterday
afternoon, and verdict Of death from con-
cussion OF the brain was rendered in sc>
cordance with the opinion Of DR.. shortlidee
= finding. by-ths>way, which was only
guess work, ~ there was no post -mortem
examination. \
Mr.. sharplsy wss in Wilmington the
greater part Of Saturday, having business
to transact, he called upon some friends,
and was last seen at tho Lafayette Hotel.
Ninth and shipley streets, about midnight.
Two young gentlemen, having . double
team, offered to see him home, but tho old
gentlemen preferred driving his own horse
md buggy, and accordingly started home
shortly. after IL O'Clock, but permitted .
young man to sit in tho buggy with him.
This person must have left him at the now |
Fosd. His horse and wagon was found |
standing at the stable door Of his residence
sunday morning about O'Clock, by farm
hand named William Whilbeck, who seeing |
nothing disturbed, or broken. thought Mr.. |
'hsrpley had probably called him to take
'ut the horse, and then gone to bed. |
The death of Mr.. shsrpley, who was IN
IFS eSd year. was both shocking and IN.
imely, - We all remember tho friehtful
northeast storm which swept over Brandy.

satisfactorily as though he bad been APP
priced of its coming. Having occasion
TO step outside the door, at about FIVE
minutes past nine, his attention was at
tracted by some person running aloug
the street, and while he was listening,
with his face turned toward the south
east, the meteor burst upon his vision
very much resembling the bursting Of
beautiful rocket, except that the main
ball of fire moved on 10 horizontal
line, towards the northeast, giving off
small spheres of light to the number of
ten or a dozen Its movement was not
characterized by extraordinary velocity,
and yet it did not tend TO describe
circle, as in the case with bodies about
to fall from loss of momentum. The
spectacle was so noYel and striking, and
the indications of its continuance 30
marked, that Mr.. Fett.rman rushed
impulsively into the House aud called
the members of his family to witness it.
They came at his call, and were gratifi-
ed with view Of the mysterious visi-
tor 1t must have been fully one min
ate and quarter, according 70 Dir.
Fetterman's calculation, from the time
he first saw the meteor until it finally
disappeared. From his point of obser- !
walton it looked as though the ball
must have passed over this city, taking
the line of Boyd's bill, the Twelfth and !
Fifteenth wards, etc., TO the Allegheny
river. 1t appeard to be about as large
as an ordinary gaslight globe, and its
pathway low-seemingly about twenty |
degrees. 1t is quite probable that this
was the same meteor seen at ST. Louis,
Missouri, Columbus, Ohio, and other
points, and which is reported to have
struck the earth at UT near Rochester,
New York, the same night. II is some
what remarkable, however, that so few
persons witnessed the phenomenon, as
the hour was not late, and the night,
although cold was clear and pleasant.
