from the north aud northwest shot up in frequent and
rapid flashes and was tingcd with great variety Of
coors. These flashes followed one another almost in
stuntauously aud in less than seconds time would
move from the horizon to the zenith. 1t was in these
particulars the most remarkable display have ever
witnessed.
A curious fact was fully illustrated by the telegraph
ic operators at Boston and Portland. twas observed
by tecgraphic operators all over the Union, the
night Of the 2sth ult that the aurora light affected
the wires to such exteut that It was impossible to
transmit messages, consequently their offices were
closed. Friday evening the operators above named
after noticing the recurrence Of the disturbance in the
electrical currents cut of the wires Of that line from
the batteries, and worked their wires for about hours
on the Au.o current; better than with the batteries
connected. The current varied increasing and de-
