SCOTLAND. ty 
About the middle of laft September, a very 
uncommon phenomenon prefented itfelf in a 
mountain that borders on Loch Tay, in the 
highlands ef Scotiand. A ihepherd happened 
to be pafturing his flocks about the fummit 
of the mountain, when he was fuddenly fur- 
prifed by a fhower of ftones. which fell all 
around him. Terrified at fuch an unufual 
appearance, he haftily ran down the moun- 
tain to the villages fituated inthe low-grounds 
beneath, and told the aftonifhing prodigy 
whith he had feen. The inhabitants gave 
him little credit 5: yet, as ghofts and other 
ftrange appearances are not altogether difbe- 
lieved in that part of the kingdom, he at lat 
prevailed on fome of them to vifit the fpot 
and afcertain the fact. On coming to the 
place, they were no lefs furprifed than he te 
find the ground all ftrewed over with a vatt 
number of loofe ftones that evidently bore 
the marks of having recently fallen there. — 
Qn looking round to difcover the caufe of 
this ftrange appearance, they perceived ag 
aperture in the earth, of acylindrical form, 
in the centre of the place about which the 
tones were feattered. 
the-ftenes had evidently been emitted, .but 
by what impulfe they. were unable to difee-. —

took place lies not more than twenty miles
