The following extract from the Paris
correspondence OF the Republic, tu~.

enthusiasm witn which astronomers
pm sue their tavoritc researches:
Mr.. Bond, son Of the Director of
the Cambridge Observatory, and
himself an enthusiast in Astronomical
science, is AZ Paris, on his way to
Norway to sec the great eclipse.
\ very large number Of European
astronomers intend starting from
f." g,anr for Bergen, the Norwcgian
capital, about the beginning Of July.
1t is hoped that q goycrnmcnt yacht
will hc placed at their disposition
In nearly all parts Of Norway, the
eclipse will be total at about three
o clock III tie afternoon. This is,
perhaps, The most iaro, able position
for viewing thc celestial phenomenon.
If the travellers could manage to
lave a good view of the Maclstrom
besides, they would certainly make
most profitable excursion, in sci.

he regularly read public lectures on

ligious sentiments. friend of truth,
and anything else but an essayist-
used frequently to relate the follow
ing:
Being one afternoon in pleasant
society, where he was smoking his
PIPE and taking his tea, without re-
tiectng upon any particular subject
he all at once felt an impulse in his
mind to go home. Now, as he had
nothing to do at home, bis mathcmat-
ical reason told him he ought not to
80 home, but remain with the compa.
ny. But the inward monitor became
stronger and more urgent, so that at
length every mathematical demon.
STATION gave way, and he followed
lis inward impulse. On entering his
room, and looking about him, he could
discover nothing particular; but he
felt new excitement within him,
which told him the bed in which he
slept must be removed from its place,
aad transported into another corner.
Here likewise reason began again to
operate, and presented to him that
the bed had always stood there, be-
sides which it was the fittcst place Tor
it, and the other was most unfit: but
all thls availcd nothing, the monitvr
gave hnn no rest; he was obliged to
call the servant, who moved the bed
to the desired place. Upon this his
mind was lranquilizcd, he returned to
the company he had left, and felt no.
thing more Of the impulse. lie stayed
to supper with the company, went
home about ten O'Clock, then laid
himself i'll his bed, and went to sleep
very quietly. At midnight he was
awaked by dreadful cracking and
noise. lie arose from his bed, and
then saw that a heavy beam, with
great part of the ceiling, had fallen
exactly upon the place where his bed
had previously Stood. Bochn now
