The girl Nancy was taken of by her father, Fam. and brought to Girard, Ala, whence he removed to WynioH, where about two years ago. she wss sold hy hin for q biiud horse and Jersey wagon, to James K Jackson as a slave.

Miss Mitchell, the Lady Astronomer.

We have received, through the kindness of a friend, pamphlet printed for private circulation, containing most interesting account, prepared by the Hon. Edward Everett, late President of Har- ward University, respecting the discovery of comet by Miss Maria Mitchell, of Nantucket. From this pamphlet. we learn that In the year 1881 gold medal of the value of twenty ducats was forwarded by the King of Denmark, to be awarded to any person who would first discover telescopc comet; and that on the first of October ls47 nt half past ten, ?. NJ, such a comet was discovered by Miss Mitchell, nearly vertical above P0iaris, abont five degrees. With characteristic modesty, Miss M. declined to allow her father (Hon. William Nit cheli) to publish her discovery immediately, re- marking, If il is new comet, our friends, the Bonds. of Cambridge, have seen it's The failure to communicate, by the mail following, the dis covery, 10 ths Minister of Denmark. tt3 fact of the discovery, technically debarred her from the receipt of the medal, although it was fully admit ted by the judges, Professor Schumacher. at Al. icna, and Professor Airy. of Greenwich, that the comet was first seen by Miss Mitchell.
 Mir. Everett first brought the subject before these judges who were, however. authorized to set aside the published conditions of the award. He then, by the advice of the excellent charge daf4ires for Denmark and through the agency oi our Minister | at Copenhagen, and the Danish Minister of For l eign Affairs, appealed to the King of Denmark, who directed that the medal should be conferred upon our learned country woman, who is said to be the first lady in the world who was thus honor ed. Miss Mitcheii's abilities observer have for some years been recognized, and used in one of the public works of our country. By way of showing this lady's priority in discovery, we may mention the fac, tha, on the Sd of October, the same comet was first discovered at Rome by Fathe r de yico; on the 7th of October in England by W. R. Dsws; and the llth of October at Hamburg by 1 Madame Rumker. the wife of the director of the observatory in that city.
 The pamphlet prepared by Mir. Everett is ex- ceedingly interesting, for 1t contains his own his- tory of the discovery. together with all the cor respondeuce, which has resulted satisfactorily the parties immediately eoncerned.-i Nat. Int.
