Show A Shower of Rocks is Georgia. On Friday of last week, in the early afternoon, on Covington street, in Social Circle, there occurred one of the strangest phenomena that ever was seeu in Georgia. It was nothing more or lees than a genuine shower of stones, varying iu size fiom as large as a hen's egg to that of a man's two fists. Tne stones are of irregular shape, of a dark grayish color, interspersed with a bright, shiny substance resembling ising-glass. ising-glass. Tho shower was very brief, and extended over not more than four acres of ground, and followed an eiplojive sound not unlike cannonading. cannon-ading. A panicky feeling pervaded the vicinity visited by the shower. Happily every one except a negro woman was in-doors at the time, elgo some one might have been injured. One rock, as large as a man's two fi.ts, came near Btriking this woman. As many as a dozen Btones lei! on on the roof of the editor's house, though without doing much damage. Walton County (Ga.)
