The Coxorr.—To the naked eye the nucleus far ex-
coeds in brightness any star in Ursa Major, and, in-
deed is little inferior to Procyon, the bright 'tar in
Canis Minor. The tail can be traced 7 (leg. or S deg.
With Mr. Bishop's large refracting telescope it is a
grand object, and when attentively examined is
found to present several of those singular irregu•
larities of form which have been previously remarked
in great comets, particularly those in las°, 1744,
and 1835 (Halley'll, and arc doubtless to be 'Uri-

the observations of the past week show that the
comet will continue visible in the evenings to the
naked eye in this country until the middle of
October, though it will disappear from the morning
sky at the beginning of that month. Its brilliancy
will be nightly on the increase until October the 9th,
or thereabouts, when the maximum will be attained.
Judging from its present appearance there can be
little doubt that this comet will shortly rival the
celebrated one of 1811. On the sth and 6th of
October it will be situate near the bright star Arc.

the score of brilliancy. It is suggested to those of
our readers who desire to lee the comet to advantage,
to be on the lookout between 3 and 4 o'clock iirie
morning during the next few days, before the moon
approaches it. On the '24th of September the ootnet
will rise at 1 40 a.tu., and set at 10 90 p.m. i and on
the 98th it will appear above the horison about 9 30
a.m., and set at 10 p.m.

ing two sores defendant showed complainant a one-core

Complainant replied that he would out the acre as it

demanded the balance 17e. 6,1., he having already
paid 12s. 6,1. but defendant said he would not pay unless
complainant out the live acres also. Defendant ex-

show him the one-sore and the five-acre pieces, asking
him which he would reap first. Part of the one acre
had been mown. The five sores were very much down

ment, agreed to nettle when tho five acres had been
