Mr. 81 SPRINGER, gave two lectures
on Astronomy here last week. There
was nothing brilliant or abstruse about
the lectures, but some Of the primary facts
and laws of Astronomy were Hnfolded in
81 very clear and interesting manner. The
positions, motions and external appear
ances of the planets were illustrated by
views with a magic lantern, rs also were
many sceues in the old world, remarkable
an mails, &c. We should have preferred
that the lecture and the show be distinct
from each other. 1t is rather too steep
:. descent to fall from contemplation Of
Tie wonders Astronomy reveals to even
q very good view of a very remarkable
animal.
For some evenings past, the north
ern sky has been lit up by an unusually
fine aurora. It Is glorious sight to wit
ness these weird dancers in the Northern
skv now streaming up to the Zenith, quick
IS the lightning flash, and as suddenly
falling back to their fountain, and then
forming into shadowy battalions, closing
and enclosing like spirit warriors prepar-
inc for the conflict. On one occasion the
whole sky was REDEEMED by their glare.
We shall not hazard an opinion as to their
cause, and really do not know whether
the presence of SO many whales, with
their vast quantity of oil, in the Northern
ATTITUDES, has anything to do with the
brilIiancy of their light. We should
think not however.

ing sudden leave after getting as much
loose change as it would do to wait for.
