A Strange s1rnt1n Alabama.

From the Union Springs Herald.
We have often heard of fish being
raiued from the clouds, but have never
seen an eyewitness to the phenomenon
until last week. 8. z. Thompson, one
of our leading prairie planters, assures
us that on the 18th of October last he
saw three fish of the perch variety fall
in his front yard during a shower of
rain. Mr.. T gathered up the fish which
were still alive, notwithstanding the
long and rapid journey through space
toward the cenTre of gravity, and, after
satisfying himself that they were only
ordinary perch, placed them in an ad-
iaceut stream, where they swan off as
lively as if terranean streams and not
celestial vapOrs were their natural ele-
ment. Mr.. Thompson says that he ls
not natural philosopher enough to ex-
plain this strange occurrence, but that
he is absolutely certain that the fish did
fall from the clouds.
