DESCRIPTION OF AN AURORA BOREALIS. 389 



I will here beg to remark, that large meteoric 

 stars have been very frequent of late. Many of 

 them have traversed a long arch of the heavens, 

 and eventually have burst into a number of glow- 

 ing balls, very much in the manner of sky rockets. 

 Lightning also, has frequently been seen, in the 

 evenings, within the present month. 



Biggins, October 28th, 1847.
