It was at first thought to be an earth-quake

but a young farmer soon broughtthe intelligence that some great projectilehad burst through space and imbeddeditself In the wToods near by The neigh-bors

proceeded to the spot and found thefacts to be as stated

The aerolite in falling came in contactwith huge oak which it denuded of itsbranches as completely as tnough It hadbeen struck by hurricane Passingdownward in a slightly slanting course Itburied itself in the earth to the depth of-

at least fifteen to eighteen feet Thesandy sides of the hole made by-

THK MKTKORIC STONEhad caved in upou it leaving it buriedfar beyond sight Several fragments ofthe stone lay scattered abcut and notonly these but the whole atmosphereabout the place wis impregnated witn thesmell of sulphur The meteoric

were of dull grayish and darkcolor indicating a combination of ob-

sidian¬

tractile and pumice They will bebrought to this city and sent to theSmithsonian institute The depth towhich the aerolite had imbedded itselfwill involve vast amount of labor tobring it to light but this will no doubtbe done tiot only for scientific purposesbut to satisfy thecuriosity of the multi-tude
