A special to the Courier-Journal
from Big Spring, Mead County, KY, OF
the 2sth, says: A strange sight met the
eyes Of our people yesterday, in the
shape of wheat strlws which actually
rained down for five minutes. A strang,
feature of the affair is that there we're
neither clouds nor wind apparent at the
time. The only solution given is that
the man in the moon was threshing his
wheat, and some Of the straws fell out
side.
