The meteor of the 2d was seen at Knoxville, Tenn., in Caroline county, Va., and at various points in Pennsylvania and Ohio. It traveled in the opposite direction to the meteor of July 20th, coming from the east and going west, but seems to have been at about the same distance from the earth, and is declared by some to have been equally brillant. The moon was shining brightly, but the light of the meteor was of dazzling brightness, and it made separate shawdows. If these things are to continue we shall get in the habit of looking heavenward, wich is not a bad way to look.
