Col. Geo. w. Rice, Of Marion coun-
~, Tenn, owns an old negro man,
named Ned. one hundred and four
years old. He was in the Revolution
AIRY war, and tells a great many in:i-
dents of that war, which. as matters
of history, we all know to be correct.
He was sometime prisoner amongst
the tories. Ned is quite sprightly yet
does most of the milling. and fire.
quently drives a wagon from his mas
ter's farm to Jasper, a distance of four
miles. He is permitted to do as he
likes and nearly always wants imploy-
ment. Ii he had fallen at an early
day amongst the abolitionists he
would have lived to the ripe age of
three hundred, wouldn't he!

The CoMET.-This remarkable che
nomcnon is now Of the most striking
brightness and has Il long and bril-.
liant tale, and can be seen about an
hour after sunset, and at 4 o'clock in
the morning, though IRE have not been
able to get up ar the last mentioned
time, as yet, to see it. This certainly
is the comet that made old Charles Y
abdicate. 1t is now only ono hundred
and forty millions Of miles distant and
is very rapidly approaching the earth.
We are told that during the first week
Of October the comet will be of the
most striking brightness, possibly the
largest Of the century, and at that
time vii, be seen near ArcturuS, per-
haps even surprising that brilliant
start in spleNdor.
