from the Eistsnd West. They met with a
rerort as from q heavy cannon. This was
followed by o second, and with each came q

ed by a roar like that Of heavy artillery.
The noise continued fully two minutes. The
stones began falling In Muskingum co1nty,
which adj oins Guernsey, and they fell to the
number OF about 100 over two or three town.
ships. They varied from the size OF ahen's
egg up, the largest weighing 10S pounds, and
being OF irregular shape and about two feet
in Of meter. The surface of the ntolites was
usually smooth with impressions as though
made by pebbles. The largest stone, which
was after ward sold to Marietta College for
$500, crashed through a tree, breaking off
limbs aud cutting through the trunk, which
was as big around as a mans thigh, and
finally buried itself three feet In the ground.
It was still hot when uneartbed. This stone
conld be seen in It's 4 ght through the air.
The shock was felt as far away as Wheeling,
q distance OF fitty-two miles. Mr.. Mckinney
says the excitement 10 the region was intense
at the time. many people believing that the
world was going to pieces.
