ciety of Friends, and Of undoubted veracity. in.
forms me that between ore and two o'clock, p.
NJ, the attention Of himself and flmily call
cd by some children in the garden, to "something
uncommon in the sky" As they did not per-
ceve at frs, what attracted their attention, the
children cried out, '.look up there and soc those
shining things" Looking upward to point near
the zenith, he says they Immediately noticed
continual shower Of meteor. Being dazzled by
the rays of the sum- they smoked a piece Of glass,
and observed this singular sight for an hour or
more. Thoy appeared to proceed from point
near the sun, and to shoot in every direction, ma
ny apparently falling towards the earth. f rom
