the hairs on his body.
The purchaser was particularly anx.
ious to have good wolf dog, and upon
that point, the assurances Of the farmer
were full and satisfactory. 1t was ths
best wolf dog in the State. Satisfied with
his trade, the gentleman paid the price.
which was by no means moderate, and
tool, the dog home .Et
Not long after light fall Of snew fur

rhr Eynectcd Grcn, Comet.

The eminent astronomer, NJ. Babnet,
member Of the French Academy of Sciences,
gives some very interesting details relative
10 the return OF that great comet, whose
pcriudca course is cOmpnted at three han
dred years .... ..r ...

97j, again 1864, and the next time in 1886,
always described as shi ming will. the most
ex, raordinary briliafty. Most of the Euro
2ean astronomers had agreed in announcing
the return OF this comet in 1913; bit IL he's
hitherto failed to appear. In fact, 1t is not
50 easy or simple n matter to compute those
vast cytlical periods Us some superficial per-
sons, who do no! look beyond the day OF the
year in whicl they live, may Imagine.
We are assured. however, hy NJ. Babinet,
that up to this moment, this beautiful star
is living on it5 brilliant reputation" We
are now it formed that Il celebrated and ac-
curOte cUmputer--M BJlnmc, Of Middle
burg has gone over all previous calculations
aud made a new estimate OF the separate
and combined action of all the planets upon
this comet of three hundred years; and he
has discovered that it is not lost to us, but
only retarded in motion. The result of this
severe labor gives the arrival oI this rure
J and renowned visitor in August, 1858, with
an uncertainty Of two years, more OF less; So
that between 1856 ard 1860 those who are

TnE SEA SERrENr.-It is reported by the
British brig Aboena, recently arrived at J.iy.
erpoo, that on the 4th of September last, a.
bout p; NJ, in latitude 3S s., longitude
l3 E., while the ship Sas under a light wini
and in smooth water, :. sea monster of great
size and singular appearance was deserted
Attention was first directed to it by the bro
ken action Of the water, which otherwise
was smooth all around. The animal was
discovered protruding its head aboYe water
to the length of about thirty feet, at an angle
OF sixty degrees to the horizon. His head
was about twelve feet long, and was marked
by white stripe or streak down each side
AT abcut SIX icet from the termination of the
| struaks, which were presumed to be its laws,
there war II protub'rance on its back like
small water cusk. The creature kept its eve
shut, but its eyes were plainly visible. At
the point of contact with the water the body
seemed about as large AS the long boat the
general color was black, bu; under the law
was Il quantity OF loose skin like pouch of a
lighter color than the rest of the animal.
While under observation he dipped under wa
ter three times, remaining submerged about
minute each time. From the broken action
oi the water at different points it seemed as
II protuberances similar to those ON the back
existed On various parts OF the body. From
the best conjecture that could be made rs
whole length was computed ut lSO feet

MAYOR WuoD's REDuKE OF AN EXroR-
rioNEn.-A young woman, day or two
since, made complaint before Mayor WOOD,
! OF New York, the substance OF which was,
;hat She took of shirt manufacturing firm in
that city three shirts to make at tuelre and a
hay c.ntS each, depositing with the firm the
urn OF - as security for the cloth. When
the shirtj were finished she took them 20 the
store, aud the proprietor after examining the
work, concluded to keep one, and said the
other two must be ripped and stitched over
again. This the young lady did, and Oh Ia
king the two shirts To the store second
lime, the work was again condemned. The
woman then demonstrated, and offered to re-
sign all claim to the pay for making the
shirts, if the firm would refund her the depos-
it money, 50. This was refused, with the
threat TO throw the shirt into the street, and
her after them. The young lady then made
proper affidavit before the Mayor, when the
pruprictors o. the store were summoned to APP
pear and answer. One of the firm appeared
al the Mayors Office, who explained that
women were in the habit Of imposing on them
daily, by protesting to sew in nca. manner,
Dut IN reality they often spoiled their work
and then claimed pay for thcm in addition to
the deposit Of money paid In. After full
Fearing in the case, the Mayor addressed the
shirt manufacturer as follows:
