     On Saturday morning, about two o'clock, a large and very luminous 
meteor passed with amazing rapidity to a snow cloud, which immediately 
assumed the appearance of the most brilliant Aurora Borealia. On Sunday 
forenoon, a mock sun was distinctly seen for about two hours - portentous, 
as we are told, of stormy weather. There has been a good deal of lightning 
during the week; and early on Tuesday morning, several peals of thunder were 
heard. - Our forefathers believed that "winter thunder brought summer 
hunger." However much we may be disposed to hold these saws in reverence, we 
hope they will not be realised in the present instance. - Montrose Paper.

Mark note: Realized is misspelled “realized” in last line. Also “saws” might 
be a mistype of original author for “laws”??
