On the 9th of October, about clercjs 
o’clock in the evening, a large meteor, or 
ball of fire, was seen fr^'m Stafford. It arose 
in the west, and had a train or tail of fiame, 
till it came immediately over the town. It 
was -of the apparent size of a cannon-ball, 
and moved with a considerable velocity di¬ 
rectly east, till it disappeared. 
The stained glass which was formerly placed 
in the windows of Litchfield cathedra^ having 
been totally destroyed in the civil wars, the 
principal windows of the choir have lately 
been adorned, through the generous assist¬ 
ance of Sir Brooke Boothby ; who, travel¬ 
ling through the bishopric of Liege, visited 
the dissolved abbey of Herckenrode. Sir 
Brooke bargained for its glass, cons sting of 
340 pieces, each about 22 inches square, 
(besides a large quantity of tracery and frag¬ 
ments,) for 2001 . 5 and generously transferred 
the purchase to the Dean and Chapter of the 
cathedral. The peace of Amiens afforded an 
opportunity of safely importing this treasure 5 
which (accounting by the rate at which such, 
glass, taken from the ruined convents in 
France, has been since sold in England), 
may be valued at 10 , 0001 . j whereas the 
total expence of purchasing, importing, ar¬ 
ranging, and repairing this glass, and of fitting 
the windows to receive it, cost only about 
10001 .

A deplorable instance of domestic sorrow 
lately occurred in the family of Mr. Kamer, 
a farmer, at Cowstay, near Bishop’s Castle : 
three weeks before, he had seven sons and 
daughters, several of whom had attained ma¬ 
turity ; but the ravages of a putrid fever re« 
duced the number to three 5 his wife is sunk 
into a state of insanity, and he is unable to 
rise from his bed. Few persons daring to go 
into his house, his grain was let out to be 
reaped, and his dairy cows ha-ve been driven 
to another farm.
