This electrical phenomenon was observed
; on Wednesday morning last at Kicliuiond,
■ and its vicinity, in a manner that alarmed
manv, and astonished every person wno be*
. heW ' u. From one until three in the morn
-1 mg, those slurry meteors seemed to (all lroiu
1 every point in ilic heaven, in such number*
/as to resemble a shower of sky rockets-
I The inhabitants happened at the same hour
; to be called from tiieir bouses by tbe lire bell,
which was rung on account or a tire mat i.rokc
out in one of the rooms ot the Armoury, but
which was speedily extinguished. Every
one, therefore,Jiad ail opportunity of witness
ing a scene of nature, which never before
was displayed in tins part ot the globe, and
; which, probably, will never appear again.—
; Several of those shooting meteors were ac
companied with a tram ot fire, Unit illumi
nated the sky for a considerable distance.—
One, in particular, appeared to tall trom the
Zenith, ol the apparent size of a hull ol tire
i eighteen inches diameter, that lighted for
several seconds the » hole hemisphere. Dut
) ing the continuance of tuis remarkable pile
' noinciioii, a hissing noise in the air was plain
ly heard, and several reports, resembling the
! discharge of a pistol, Had tile city bell not
been ringing, these reports would probably
have seemed much louder. File say was re
j inarkalily clear and serene, anu the visible
; fixed stars numerous tbe whole night. Wu
are anxious to know at what distances from
Uiclnnoiid this phenomenon has extended.—-
It is liojied that persons who have remarked
it in other places, will not neglect to mlorui
the public of the particulars; as such infor
mation may add, in a great degree, to thu
knowledge of Meteorology.
Cilice writing the above, wc h ive been in*
formed, that several of the largest of these
shooting meteors, were observed to descend
almost lo the ground before they exploded.
Indeed, many of those which we saw, appear
-1 cd to approach within a few yards ol the
i house tops, ami then suddenly to vanish.—
Some -persons, we are told, were so alarmed,
that they imagined the tire in the Armoury
was occasioned by one of these meteors, and
in place of repairing to extinguish the earth
' ly tiames, they busied thcuisclve- in contriv
ing to protect t!ie roofs oi their houses troin
j the tire of heaven.
Tins circumstance of the shooting stars
| descending within a abort distance of the
ground, is however, a fact highly important
1 to he know n ; as it has iieen gt ncrally sup
{ posed, that meteors only proceed in a lion,
zonfal direction, and lit ver fly pcrpcndicular
■ly upwards. Tnoso w hich we particularly
remarked,appeared tu descend hi an angle of
sixty degrees w ilh the horizon ; hut as the
K.nalier ones were srf niinitroua, and crossed
each otlu r in dillcrent directions, it was on
ly po-sihlc to ascertain with any precision,
the paths of the iargi si ami most brilliant.
