roads, panting and frightened as if they had beon terror-striken. Tho extent of the remarkable occurrence may bo judged when we mention that every large farmer from Wallingford on the one hand to Twyford on the other seems to have had his sheep thus frightened, and it is also noteworthy that, with only two or three exceptions, tho hill country north of the Thames seems to have been principally affected. Wo have not heard, nor can any of the farmers give any reasonable explanation of what we have described. The night was intensely dark, with occasional flashes of lightning, but we do not think either circumstance would account for such an effect being produced over such a large area. We would suggest tho probability of a slight earthquake being the cause. For continuation ol mailing matter see fourth ¦pant.
