Abstract
MY men here noticed on Thursday last the 23rd inst. that the leaves, glasses of the frames and iron work of the gates were smeared with a reddish mud; one hedge in particular they described as almost covered with the substance; and the pinafores of a cottager's children which were hanging out to dry were so stained with the deposit that they had to be rewashed. When the substance fell no one here knows, nor is it clear whether it fell as dust or mud; from the firm way in which it has attached itself to the iron work I should think that it fell as mud.
