    Reports a recent meteor shower at the village of Chignons. Notes that the meteors allegedly came from Venus and thus support the possibility that 'other planets are inhabited'. Reports a violent thunderstorm at Gulston where a lightning bolt struck a piano in a house and played a recognisable tune on the instrument. Reports the appearance of cucumber on a hitherto barren fruit tree. Anticipates considerable botanical interest in this news.
