The outer portion of this phenomenon wsjb extremely dark and we ll defined , but the inner part gradually became paler and paler , until it was of the same colour as the other part of the heavens , which to the South was dense and thick , and this density and ' thickness extended to the earth , so as to have the appearance of smoke ud
to the apparent verge of the shadow of the arch above . To the North of this line the air was uncommonly clear , and the sky without a cloud , which remarkable oontrast exerted the surprise of all who wituessod it in the Northern parts of the county of liottiagham .

" and fell back in her chair and instantly expired . Mr . May , oae of the : coroners for Berks , held an inquest : upon the body on Friday morning , audtbe jury returned a verdict of— "Died by the visitation of God .
