There has been no little speculation ON the subject of a
Comet that, tits supposed, will appear in the course of
INC next year In presenting the annexed extract on the
subject, we would remark that i; has been q topic in Eu-
rope, and the people of France having been somewhat
alarmed, the French Philosophical Academy some time
ago, caused calculations TO be made on the subject, and
published a report 10 allay the alarm which had seized tho
minds OF the ignorant classes on the occasion. The re-
suit oil Their calculations went TO show that no sort of dam
ger was TO be apprehended on the approach of this Comet.
The following we find in a paper before us:
The CoMEr.-Thc European papers speak of a Comet
that will appear within 10000 miles of the Earth's orbit,
some time in the year 1892. If the earth should happen
to be in that portion of lis orbit, nearest the path of the
Comet, IN its approach to the sun, they say its motion will
be much disturbed, and serious conseuuences NAV rea-
sonably be apprehended. NJ. Lalaude has computed that
comets may pass within thirty thousand leagues, without
sensibly deranging the motion of the earth. The comet
oil i4iO approached so near the earth as TO increase its
periodical time upwards OF two days and had its mass
been equal TO that of the earth, it is computed by La
race, the earth's motion in her orbit would have been
equally retarded, and consequently have increased the
length oil the year nearly 40 hours. As no such effect
was produced, the disturbing force of the comet was con-
sidered insensible. The mass of the comet was 1,500th
part less than that OF the earth. In 1854, the moon was
ecIpsed by a comet; which must have passed within
100000 miles of the carth-and il is known that no effect
was produced by its attractive force, either on the earth OF
MOON The immense velocity OF comets may be a princi-
PAL reason why they do not sensibly affect the motion OF
the planets. That OF 1850 was calculated by Newton 10
move at the rate OF 800, 900 miles an hour. and Brvbone
observed one at Palermo, 1870, whose velocity he COM
puted TO be equal TO $500, 600 miles an hour. The comet
oil lloOis best known by astronomers. Its period is com
Puted TO be about &c years, though from its motion being
disturbed by the planets, it is sometimes longer. Itappear-
ed in 1852 very bright; and was looked after with very
great anxiety in 1858; but Clairault determined from cal
culation thatit would not appear till April, 1859. The in
creased length of its period he attributed to the influence
oil Jupiter and Saturn, near which it would pass. 1t ac-
cordlngly approached nearest the sun on the 18th of March,
10Y. III this is the comet TO which the European papers
refer, it will not appear till 1884 or 5. The distance of
this comet from the sun, when i'm the extreme ends of its
orbit, is about 50 900 900 miles; yet it returns regularly,
and It's period has been calculated by the mathematician
within 30 days.

q ttASSlCAL School at Long Creek
" Louisa County, will be continued next year, under
the immediate superintendent of the subscriber, who will
take care that all his pupils shall be thoroughly instructed
IN whatever they may undertake TO learn. As the method
oil instruction pursued at this School, is very different from
the superficial course of Education which has become
fashionable, the subscriber deems it necessary to inform
the public, that every member of his school is actually
required TO understand and parse every sentence he may
read. This method rarely fails TO make good scholars; but
1t requires more labour and study than the fashionable plan
oil modern sciolists, and is therefore very irksomc to the
Ignorant and indolent.-int this School, will be taught the
Greek and Latin Languages, English Grammar, English
composition, Geography with the use OF maps and globes,
Mathematics and Arithmetic. The School will com
mence on the 18th of January, 1892, and terminate on the
10Th OF December following. There will be a vacation of
4 weeks, commencing on the 10Th day of June.-The
charge Tor board, tuition, washing, lodging and fuel, will
be $40, payable one half on the LIST day of June, 1882,
and the other half on the list day of December following.
