Another new Planet.

1t is enough to astonsh the public, even in
these days of surprising events to see how thickly
our solar system is becoming studded with plan
cts. A few years ago half dozen of planets,
rolling around the same centre, were considered
respectable brotherhood, but the ideas of the
astronomers of the present day have greatly ex-
panded, and they look for numbers to correspond
with this enlargement. Accordingly, IN the last
year or two, they have nearly doubled the num-
Der Of known planets, and we see by note in the
National Inteligencer from Lieut.. Maury, of the
National Observatory, with the accompanying ex-
tract from French paper LIE National. that an
other asteroid has been discovered, which makes
the number OF this interesting group great near
ly as that of the regular planets
1.-TWO new Stars have been seen in the heavens,
One, discovered on the night of the 9th of April
by the Irish astronomer, Graham, probably be-
longs to the group of small planets, already so
numerous. situated between Mars and Jupiter :;
the other, observed in London by Mr. Hind, does
not manifest any peculiar motion, and seems to
be one Of the fixed Stars"

LeSseta's Opinion of Marcy.

AS Mr.. Marcy has recently made himself some
what notorious, by his blackhearted and malignant
attacts upon Gen. Scott, and his attempts to rob
him of his well-earned fame, it may be interesting
to know what manner of man he is to know
what the world in times past thought of him, and
to have his.political and moral physognamy held
up to public view. This has been done with the
spirit, truth and skill of master mind by the late
lamented VIM. Leggett, political friend of the
Secretary of War; and the New York Auburn
Advertiser brings the picture to light after having
been for some time Withdrawn from public views,
for the purpose of letting its readers see who and
what the man is that has taken upon himself the
task of maligning and villifying Gen. Scott. Mr..
Leggett, who knew him we'll, thus describes him
in the Plaindeaer, Vol. p $50:
g He IS pceak, cringing, ndecisiue man
- the mere tool Of monopoly junto, their con-
cenient instrument; and whilst he gives his sane
ton to their unworthy measures, ,ue suuev him
aDith contempt and can offer no better excuse for
his conduct than that his poverty and not his will
consents"
This is the portrait of VIM. L. Marcy the man
who once stopped to the naeanness of charging the
State fifty cents for mending his breeches. and to
the infame of trying to rob an old war-worn vete-
of the fame he has spent life to acquire. Is,
tasks the Advertser) not such base, cringing,
mercenary poltroon, the appropriate tool for the
dirty work he is used for !-Harrisburg Telegraph.

dead. The bees after visiting several blossoms in
their usual way, would be apparently attacked
with rertteo, as if they had taken some deadly
narcotic, and descend in spiral circles to the ground
Some would be dead very soon, others would lin
ger considerably time before they would die !;
and but few would recover to escape. The tree
is now thlckly set with young fruit. No other
trees in the orchard produced such, or similar eff
ects on the bees, nor was it ever observed before
on the tree in question.
