The New York Evening Times of Saturday, in
an article upon "Norwe,lans in America" has The
following in relation to Ole Bull and his colony OF
New Norway in Potter county, Pennsylvania:
Within the last fortnight, Ole Bull, accompanied
by few friends took thirty OF the first ioun-
icrs of this Colony 10 their future home, consisting
of those whose mechanical skill woulc soon rear,
under the waving arms of the forest, comfortable
abode. He selected site for the embryo City. A
lady from New York, who, with her husband John
Hopper, Esq, accompanied him, cut down the FIRST
tree with her own hands, and after the active Col
onisS had converted il into flagstaff, and planted
it, she run UP the Norwegian banner with the
stripes and stars and named the place owe. which
they fioated, Oteona thus typitying the Norwe-
gian graft upon the American Aboriginal stock
Curious enough, Olean had already become IA
miliar name in that vicinity. 1t was also ordained,
i'll her proposal, that the sign which should beckon
the traveller TO the first inn, which should proclaim
the mctto, sin union THERE iSStrength, and eXhlo-
il the device of an American and Norwegian Bear,
in fond embrace Bears hug, which, we hope,
may never lack cordiaiity. The axe Immediately
began TO awake the distant echoes, the hammer to
.ing upon the anvil, the adze to glance through the
bark, and all was preparation and activity. lnthe
evening numerous bonhres illuminated this new
home, and blazed i'll the woods, and The gifted
founder having addressed his countrymen in their
native language aud the Americans, Ill an eloquent
English haranguc, seized his favorte instrument,
and in the concert-room of the forest, and under
the star lights, drew the wizard bow with an energy,
gladnesS and inspiration which no audience, regal
or republican, had ever enjoyed before.
Ole Bull returned 10 the city, rescued ship
load of a hundred Norwegans, Just arrived, from
the grasp of the rnnners, despatched them 10 New
Norway, and with Norwegian clergyman flew
back TO his Nordland to consecrate it, tSabbath,

Armies in the Air.

From time immemorial occurrences which could
have been accounted for on natural principles,
have been received as omens of forthcoming events
and, however reason may tend to dSSipate such
fancies, yet there are few minds which free
from superstition, as entirely to cast aside belief Ill
these apparently supernatural events Some prog
nostics are supposed to have local, and others
more general bearing. The appearance OF armies
marching in the air is of the latter class, and is sup
posed TO indicate approaching war; the idea of war
being naturally associated with that of soldiers
The citizens of Middleborough, New York, are said
to have been favored few days since, with the
view of large body of soldiers marching and coun-
termarching in the atmosphere in broad day light.
If This sight were really witnessed stated,
should like to know if there any soldiers station
ed within ten or twenty miles of that town. If
there be, then the phenomenon can be explained,
without resorting to the miraculous. If there be
not, we must suspect that the appearance was an
optical delusion. The Duke de Sully witnessed
similar exhibition, and in day light. Two armies
appeared to approach each other in the air, and to
engage in a tremendous battle. The vancouver
ing, firing, &C. were distinctly seen-and finally,
the retreat of one of the armies The attention of
the whole village where the Duke then was,
directed to the spectacle. On the next day, an ac=
count was received ola great battle, which had been
fought atthe very time indicated by the appearance
in the air: showing that the atmospheric phenome
non was the reflection of occurrences then trans
pirng. This is the solution given by the Duke de
Sully, and is no doubt correct But whilst
would, in every case, endearor to account for ex-
traordinary appearances or events, some occurren
ces take place which cannot be explained by our
philosophy. Clipper, .,5iss ..s,f5ft.,ssg
