nominations at Baltimore, kicks at the
resolutions adopted, as not the sense ol

ter the President had left the chair
through exhaustion, and moro than hall
the members retired, in the midst Of
confusion, aud in spite Of large mega

sanctioned by the Democracy generally
when even the set of Locofocos in the

The Comet and Planet Business.

The Comet and Planet Business.
Are not our scientific friends in .Ear-
ward and elsewhere carrying the plan
ct and comet business rather too far /?
A new planet in the course of three
or four years, and a comet year, will
do very well; but this finding planet
every week, and a new comet daily, is
il not running the thing in the ground !?
IRe used to know the number of the
planets, and had some idea of the prin-
cipal comets, but they have gone
ahead of our astronomy long ago, and
we think the school boys must have a
hard time of it, Mr.. Bord. of the
Cambridge Observatory, has himself
turned out eleven or twelve new COM
cts, the telegraph does not exactly
know which and the rivalry among
observers is SO great that every coun-
try and every institution with preten-
sions to science, is setting up its own
comets, and some of them their own
planets. If il be true, as some very
wise people have suggested, that this
globe is ultimately to be destroyed by
an untamed comet, is it wise Tor our
astronomers to be beating up new
ones, and letting them loose? Is
there not danger that some unprac>
ticed hands may take up the business,
and set them flying in the wrong di-
re,;tions? We have great confidence
in Mr.. Bond, and we have no doubt
the business is reasonably safe so long
as it is confined TO regular professors,
but every schoolmaster is pointing his
telescope to the sky, and bringing
star down with the certainty Of Captain
Scott aiming at coon; and even the
women, who ought to be content with
knowing that they ar terrestrial stars
are searching the heavens for planets
and comcts.--ProU. Jour.

The great canal from Bear river tc
Auburn will be completed within three
or four weeks, and it is confidently ex-
psctcd that Auburn will be one of the
most fourishing inland towns in the
State in few months. A good evidence
of her prosperity will be found in the
fact, that shares in the canal which cost
originally $4,000, now readily command
$4,000. -
