The Burlington Times Of this morning re-
ports the appearance here of brilliant
meteor "on Saturday evening" From the
description we should judge it to be the same
which was seen by so many on Friday even
ing Probably it had gone round the world
and was on its second visit. If it is to come
again, our citizens, generally, would be much
obliged if the Times would give them preyI-
Gus notice, so that all may have a far
chance to see it.

BANE BLOWN oPEN.-On the 10th some
burglars got into the Medina Bank, at Ne
dina, y. H., and attempted to blow open the
safe. The safe was a large one, and had a
money safe inside, locked in the same way
The outside doors were locked The money
being all inside Of the second safe, was out
Of their reach. The explosion took place
about half past one O'Clock IN the morning,
during tremendous thunderstorm. The
large windows in front Of the bank were
blown to atoms, and the banking-room look

The METEoR.-The splendid meteor seen
by many persons in this neighborhood, last
Friday evening, seems to have been visible
over great extent Of country. Though
there is some discrepancy in the accounts,
there is 50 close an agreement as to the time of
its appearance, the direction in which it mov-
ed, andits apparent elevation above the hori-
ION as leave little doubt that the same meteor
was seen at Troy and other places along down
on the Hudson, in Connecticut, and even in
Pennsylvania, and probably in other remote
places There is great difficulty in determin-
ing the precise direction Of such an object
when its course is so far from tho zenith, as
this ones was, and when it is seen for so short
time. The course seems to have been from
west of north to east Of south Its double APP
pearance, or apparent bursting in two, is re-
ported from several places At Danville, Pa.
some minutes after it disappeared, a sound re-
semblIng thunder was distinctly heard. Sound
like that ofan explosion is reported from
other places. All accounts agree that the
phenomenon was one Of remarkable splen
dor. Here the light was 50 strong as to
produce deep shadows from intervening
trees.

Effects OF CoTToNING TO THE SoUTH.-The
y. \. Courier d Enquirer of Saturday last
speaks of the n. Y trade in domestic faunels
and cottons as more limited in that market
than usual, and adds
Therefore buyers have gone on to Boston for
their fannels and for many heavy cottons, buying,
also, other domestics no doubt, which under other
circumstances they would take from this market.
The trade sale at Boston last year. although not
peated now, probably continues to attract buyers
TO Boston. We fear, too, that the perpicious eff
forts TO introduce politics into dry goods trade
OF the last season, really injured this market in
the estimation Of large buyers"

RAW HEAD AND BLOODY BONES.

The y. Y. Herald is great 10 the sensation
line. How many hundred times has it said
the Union was "all going to smash and
flinders and that unless Stewards bloody
and brutal doctrines could be crushed cut
immediately, the government Of the country
would soon be worth less than u cheese par
ing, and that New York trade and New York
merchants would all have to 90 to grass in
less than year unless Black Republicanism
could be choked to death? keitt's last blow
oft has given the Herald fresh start. and it
breaks out into antics as follows
THAT the South can seccde, if united in the
movement, there is no reasonable doubt The
vote Of that section will be given to Breckinridre
and Lane. The Southern Senators and members
Of the House would 80 to Richmond instead Of
aShlngton. Congress being opened in regular
form, MIR. Breckenridge would be declared Presj
dent OF the United Southern republic and the
government may be organized in a week after the
result OF the November election is made known
There Is really nothing to prevent such action on
the part of the South and there is every reason 10
dread that it may take place
In view of this state Of things, we deem it to
