A RAINSTORM OF STONES.

The Battle Creek Republican recently contained the following:—

“The Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph is authority for the statement that on Monday night of last week a rainstorm of stones commenced in Castleton township, Barry County, and continued at intervals up to Friday. They began to fall on the farm of Sylvester Osborne, and so thickly that men engaged in husking corn upon Osborne’s place were compelled to suspend work. Charles Osborne was hit by several of the falling missiles, but not seriously injured. The people are greatly excited, and many have visited the spot and witnessed the phenomenon. The stones are of a dark, volcanic nature, and are not said to fall with great velocity. They are undoubtedly aerolites.”
