and brilliant phenomenon that made its appearance in the western sky a little to the north of the cardinal point and continued minutes for about 20 or 30 minutes before vanishing away the general verdict Is that it was c r meteor many say eay they saw law a ball bill of fire descend to the earth in a slanting direction leaving its tail in the sky long after it had gone down our attention was directed to the sight immediately after its appo appearance arance and at that time it was a long slanting streak shaped like a bayonet yand and of the hue of lightning it remained several minutes in this shape touching the horizon and then began changing forming a zig zag line becoming more dim every moment and presenting the appearance of a number of sunlit cloudless cloudlets cloud lets while passing away it described a number of fantastic shapes according to some taking the forms forma of df various letters some saw W plainly denn defined ned others Z with a star at each extreme while some declare they could read war very plainly the enthusiasts who stoutly assert it to be a sign of ominous import aro are equal to the ecoff ers drs who ridicule the I 1 dea idea den of any significance attaching to it at any rate it was a strange sight and if a meteor was of an unusual character those who are willing to believe it to be one are puzzled to account for its remaining so long visible and then so slowly and gradually fading away one of the latest opinions is that it was not a meteor but a mirage the ogden junction I 1 of this morning which we have received dince ance
