ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON.

About eight o'clock no the evening of Sunday last was
witnessed at Carlisle a very beautiftil appearance in the
heavens—a broad zone of light, which extvinled across the
whole visible horizon, nearly west and east. As it dues nut

tionary light ; and as the sky was fortunately very clear, it
was beheld fur more than an bour.—( Carlisle Journal.)
