TLe Nashville Prees and Times of the
13th records the following pingular and
interesting phenomenon :
Yesterday a strange and terrible natu
ral phenomenon occurred in Cheatham
county, about nineteen miles from the city,
on the lino of the Nashville and North
western railroad. About one o'clock,
while the men employed on the plantation
of Joshua Fulgham were going into the
field to pluck fodder, the fun being hid-,
den behind clouds at the time, and a gen
eral gloom pervading the sky, they were
much frightened and confused by the ap
parent opening of the clouds, judging from
the description of the phenomenon, not
more than five or six degrees north of the
zenith. They judged the cloud to be about
three-quarters of a mile high. The sin
gular sight attracted their notice.
A brilliant whitish red glare overspread
an immense mass of black clouds, on the
center of which appeared a funnel-like
aperture about tour or five feet in diame
ter, the sides of which presented the ap
pearance of rapged flames darting like
fiery tongues, and licking and lapping at
a large white hot object passing with in
conceivable rapidity down through the
aperture. When it left the mass of cloud
it did not appear to fall in a perpendicu
lar direction, but sloped at an inclination
of some ten or fifteen degrees from a plumb
line, and grew more intensely bright as it
approached the earth. It swept down
like a bright angel of death and destruc
tion ; it struck the earth with a sound
like a sudden, terrific clap of thunder and
seemed to make the surrounding hills
quiver to their foundations ; great num
bers of trees on their rocky sides fell, and
continued falling for several minutes after
ward, making noU-es like the prolonged
reverberations of thunder
cliffs.
among rockv
The men were about four hundred
yards from the place when; the fiery mis
sive from the sky struck, and were afraid
to go and examine the place for several
hours afterward.
They took courage, however, and being
joined by numbers of the people living in
the surrounding neighborhood, I hey pro
ceeded to the place, and found that it had
struck upon a flat ledge of rocks in a wa
gon way leading from a farm house to the
public road. The fragments of stones
were thrown around for several rods in all
directions ; the ledge, which is said to be
three feet thick, without any seams, was
disrupted fur a distance of about fifty foef,
split and torn up in fragments ; the soil,
which was spread in thin layers all over
if, looked as if passed through a fieve
At the point where the strange body came
in contact with the rock there appeared
to be no stone at all, but a very fine,
white, floury sort of paste which was
quite hot, and a steam ascended out of
the hole in which it had buried itself,
which was too hot to approach.
.Several gentlemen of a philosophical
turn of mind were strongly of the opinion
that it was an aerolite brought into a state
of fusion by coming down through the
atmosphere, but had not been completely
buried before touching the earth.
There was a strong odor about the
place, such as may be found in blasting
furnaces, and the passage of the aerolite
was maked by a light, yellowish sort of
smoke. Very fine particles of some sort
of oxide continued to fall all over the
country for several hours. Ii is the in
tention of the people to organize a work
ing party to quarry out what remains of
the body, which is undoubtedly metal, as
soon as the temperature of the rocks will
admit.
As yet, it seems to be premature to en
ter on any speculation relative to the na
ture of the strange phenomenon. More
over, the scientific men of tha city are
already interested in the matter, and no
doubt there will be a thorough diagnosis
of the strange case.
O'COXALLL'S ELOqi'EXCE.
'Perhaps you doubt my testimony. If
you do, I will vouch for it with the en
dorsement of a man who nevr loeJ
Ireland, and that is John Randolph, of
lloanoke. When ho went and .heard
O'Councll. the old Virginian cried out,
.'There are the lips, and this is the tongue
of human eloquence.' I think be was
right. I have listened to tho impressive
solemnity of Webster, been delighted with
the grace of Everett, dazzled" with the
rhetoric of Choate ; I know the iron
ft rengh of the logic of Calhoun ; I have
been beneath the magnetism of Henry
Clay ; it has been my fortune to sit at the
feet of the great speakers of the English
tongue on the other side of tho water ; but
I think O'Connell's oratory blended into
one harmonious whole the solemnity of
Webster, the grace of Everett, the logic
of Calhoun, and the magnetism of Clay.
Nature seemed to have intended him for a
Demosthenes of our epoch. She gifted
him with everything that goes to make
op the great tribune of the people. In the
first place, he had a magnifient presence,
impressive in bearing imposing as that of
Jupiter Webster himself hardly outdid
him in the majesty of his appearance.
And this is much more than you fancy
at first in tha qualities of an orator his
physique. I remember Russell Lowell
telling us that when Mr. Webster came
home from Washington at the time when
the Whig party thought of dissolution, a
year or two before its death, and he went
down to Faneuil Hall to protest, and
drawing himself up to his loftiest impress
siveness, his brow clothed with thunder,
be stood before the listening audience, and
Mid, 'Well, geutlemen, I am a Whig, a
Faneuil Hall Whig, a Revolutionary
Wrhig. a Constitutional Whig. If you
break up the Whig parly, sir, where am
I to go 1' And, says Russell Lowell, We
held our breath, thinking it a fearful thin
where he would go.' If he had been five
feet three we should have said, Who
cares where he goes ! So it was with
O'ConnelL There was something majes
tic in liis presence before he spoke."
Ertrad from an oration ly )VauLu PhU-
A Stkasge Story. The telegraphic
report from New York, last week, con
tained a paragraph relating to Mrs. Gen.
Eaton, who was onco the wife of a Cab
inent Minister cf the United States,
which, to those familiar with her history,
sounds like the closing chapter of a sensa
tional romance. The report states that
this lady, now seventy-eight years of age,
has had ber husband, a young Italian,
aged thirty, arrested for abandonment, he
having deserted her for her grand daugh
ter, by whom he has had two children,
after having spent 100,000 of the estate
left to Mrf. Eaton by her former husband.
The gtateine.it revives the recollection of
a great sicial tempest at Washington,
about forty j-ears ago, of which this lady
was the heroine. he was then the new
ly married wife of General Eaton, of
Tennessee, Jackson's Secretary of War,
and the wives of the other members of the
Cabinet, for alleged reasons of their own,
refused to extend to 1 er social recognition.
The result of this quarrel iimon,' the ladies,
was, finall;r, a dissolution of Jackson's
Cabinet, on what wa th- n s lecringly
celled a woman's squabble over a point of
etiquette, but for which there were more
solid reasons. A few years afterward,
General Eaton died, leaving his widow
in the possession of a magnificent estate.
Tho lady disappeared from public view,
until about ten years ago, when we hear
of her taking to herself another husband
in the person of an Italian dancing mas
ter, about twenty years of age, whom she
employed to teach her grandchildren the
art Terpischorean ; and the finale is, the
revelation in the l'olicc Court of New
York, of the abandonment of the poor
woman in her old age, the ruin of her
grand daughter, the wasting of the estate
of her furmer husband, and her own de
scent, from afiiuence to poverty. Alto
gether the story sounds more like fiction
than fact. Erie Observer.
A Nakkow Escate. A most thrilling
and narrow escape from a horrible death
was witnessed and experienced at the
depot in Elmira, on Friday. Mike Ca
hill is the regular yard switchman. In
changing a switch his foot was caught be
tween two rails, just as an engine he was
switching was approaching. He did not
have time to remove the switch and get
his foot out but thought to pull it out
As he sougiit to do so, making; violent
efforts to extricate himself the engine
was upon him ere word could bo got to
the engineer's ear of Cahill's dangerous
predicament. Many who saw the situa
tion were horror stricken, expecting that
the man would be crushed to death. As
the engine came on Cahill caught hold of
the pilot and clung to it with a deadly
grip. His boot was torn from his foot
and cut to pieces, while Cahill came oft
uninjured, clinging to the engine. He
was almost struck dumb with the terrible
ness of his situation and the most nar
row escape experienced.

WHAT I MAKE.TCAN WARRANT !
After an experience of more than year in

repairing rips aud tares, I have determined to
come back to first principles and henceforth
confine myself to the manufacture of BOOTS
and SHOES tor Men. Youths, Ladies and Miss
es, a Ed am now better prepared than ever to
give entire satisfaction in my business.
I have at present in my emplov a competent
corps ot workmen, and can say without fear of
contradiction that I can turn out a3 neat and
substantial Boots and Shoes at as modlkatk
r rices as can be made anywhere in the State
I am having Boots made of the finest French
Calfakin, and within the past month or two
have had orders pouring in upon me from all
quarters fer this kind of work. The material
in these Boots is the best to he found iu thi
market, aud the wormanship, both in neatness
and strength, cannot be excelled at any other
establishment in the country.
MY TKAIX ALWAYS ON TIME!
All work will be ready for delivery at the
time promised. Weddings, visits and other in
teresting or important occurrences need not be
postponed through any failure on my part to
come to time.
Good work and moderate prices is my motto,
and one tri.tl will convince any person that the
motto is well chosen.
ES-Repairing of Boots and Shoes attended
to promptly and in a workmanlike manner.
Thankful for past favors I feel confident that
my work and prices will commend me to a con
