Those who had their faces turned to-
ward the southwestern sky at about $3.50
o'clock Saturday night witnessed a most
wonderful sight in the descent of large
meteor that lit up the whole heavens. 1t
lasted but second, but afforded most
beautiful sight, being about the size and
somewhat the shape ofa 2O-gsllon cask or
halt barrel, with tail several feet in
length which threw off many colored
lights after the manner of u sky-rocket,
The great meteor seemed to fall to earth
within mile or so from the beholders,
and we note by the Pittsburg papers that
Allegheny residents have been hunting
for the molten iron of which meteors are
said to consist. OF course Pittsburg or
Allegheny ought to have this latest phe-
nomenon to place beside the big sun-spots
recently discovered in those cities.
