GREAT FLIGHT OF WILD GEEsE.--We believe the
extent OF tbs wild-goose emigration yesterday sur
passed that OF any similar demonstration on any
one day IN former years. Flocks of these great
birds, stretching out in the form of an inverted "
with the leader at the point, were passing south
ward over this city and the neighboring towns
nearly all day on Monday. One gentleman counted
one hundred in one flock, and he says he saw about
dozen fiecks. Others counted seventeen and
twenty focks. Generally they few too high to be
shot, though their loud and incessant cries could
be heard. few shots were fired at them, but we
believe without effect. These birds often fly o /
day and night and traverse vast tracts of country
in brief space of time. Coming from the far
North, from the northern shores of Labrador and
the vicinity of Hudson Bay, their migration to
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico aud other south
ern points is made in an almost incredible short
time, Their flight south is commonly believed u
be the harbinger of cold weather, as their north
migration early in the spring is hailed as an indi
cstiou Of the breaking up of winter.-harttoro

ses to lecture occasionally, after the present
summer, upon the Rational Of SDiritualism.

fectly irresistible, when the facts are once
established; since intelligence implies an in

laws, limitations. principles, cannons Of judg.
ment are all yet to be settled, and the most
dogmaticis most likely to err. My object will
be to establish every main point which can
yet be established in this diGcult subject and
firmly to discriminate what is proved from
what is merly probable or possible. MY
