(Danville (Pa.) Cor. Phil. Ledger.) Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Monroe, of Monticello, Sullican county, N. Y., who are= making a tour in a carriage, were sufficiently close to an aerolite that= last night dropped into the ground to feel its heat. They left Muncy abo= ut noon and were on their way to this city, where they intended to spend = the night. They lost their way and about midnight found themselves on a l= onely stretch of road remote from any dwelling. The spot, about ten miles= from this place, is low and swampy and surrounded by wooded hills. Sudde= nly the sky was illuminated with a strange light, which the next instant = lit up the entire landscape, giving it a brilliancy that was blinding. At= the same instant a loud hiss or swishing sound struck the ears of a the = man and woman and simultaneously it seemed, a blazing mass, not more than= ten yards ahead, struck the earth. The roadway trembled under the mighty= impact. The occupants of the buggy were nearly overcome by the appalling= spectacle, while the horse stood trembling in its tracks. Mr. Monroe slighted from the buggy and led the horse to the spot where th= e aerolite had struck. The only trace of the celestial visitor was a volu= me of steam, which road from the spot, indicating the presence of water. = Mrs. Monroe was made quite ill by the shock and the couple were obliged t= o stop at a farm house for the night.
