ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL PHENoMENoN-T The
aurora Last NighL-Between the hours of
ten and eleven o'clock last night, beautiful
display of the Aurora Borealis was visible in
the northern part of the heavens extending
toward the West, half way to the cardinal
point. The light flashed far up the sky; the
crimson arrows ending with feathery shafts
of a silvery white, and at times they quiv-
cred and trembled as if they were dancing
on the cerulean concave in mad Joy at some
revelation of Nature.
The phenomenon continued for an hour
and was greatly admired by thousands of our
citizens. At the close the colors grew more
pallid like the cheek of dying saint, and,
like such an one, tainted insensibly off into
the distances of Heaven.
The present year has been prolific of
meteorologic and atmospheric phenomena,
and this vicinity has been particularly
favored Herewith. Hardly a week passes
that we are not compelled to admire some
rare and glorious scenery of the sky, which
a mysterious Salvador Rosa paints with a
mstchless pencil on the ETHEREAL canons of
the all-pervading air.

The RECENT APPOINTMENT OF WHISKY In

AfteTnOon.-A meeting of the manufacturers
Of and dealers in whisky, was held yester-
day afternoon, at the Chamber Of Commerce,
for the purpose of hearing the report of the
committee appointed few days ago in re-

After the meeting had been called to

and read the following report, which was
adopted; F..-.l.
WHEREAS, The Commissioners delegated by Coun-
disreaarded ihe expressed wishes Of those most IN
terosted in the liquor business and
officers substituting therefor men entirely unaccus-

form the duties OF Inspectors, our business may be
serieusly injured and our interests Jeopardized;
Resoirsd, That self,respect would prompt, and the
duty we owe TO our consignors demand resistance
on our part against such attempt to bring into dis

perform the duties, and enjoying the entire conf
Resoived That as tho calculations to be made by

that before any OF such appointees can become

BUSINESS MER's PRAYER-MEETINa.-O
prayer-meeting reporter being occupied at
the County Fair, following the injunction of
st. Paul to "be diligent in business" etc.,
we are obliged to omit that department for
the present. We observe by the report in
the Times, of the Business Mems Prayer
Meeting, that much coldness prevails in re-
ligious circles. A gentleman from Green
castle, Indiana, gave an account Of the state
of religious feeling there, which the Times
reporter says "were about as they are here -
and then he proceeds, in his beautiful style
of Scripture allegory, to describe how relig-
ious matters are here:
"Many who professed to know and love
their Savior, had returned to the broken
cisterns' of worldliness. Many were neither
cold nor hot and the contemptuous words
which told their fate did not seem to arouse
them into activity. Vigilance and prayer
fulness are indispensable, if we would over
come the world, the flesh, and the devil"
Broken cisterns of worldliness" must be
very empty. That many should be ''neither
rcold nor hot" nor at all alarmed at the
''spewing-out" fate which awaits them, Is
calculated, together with the loss 1T prop
erty and very dear friends, to make one sad.
The reporter remarks, however, that there is
reason TO thank God that il Is no worse, and
comparing this place with st. Louis, graf
itude is still more excited" So long as God
is so much more favorable 10 this place than
to Sc. Louis, there Is sufficient consolation
for this unsatisfactory temperature Of our
Christians, which makes them SO difficult TO
retain on the stomach, as we'll as for the
slight superiority which 81. Louis shows in

ATTEMPTED SUIc1DE-A Stranger Almost
Sewers his Head from his Body Night
before last, about eleven o'clock, man
named Joseph Tice entered the Australia
House, on Walnut-street, near Seventh, and
took lodging for the night. He was shown
to his room by the proprietor, and nothing
was seen or heard Of him until yesterday
morning, when he staggered down stairs
and fell to the floor, bleeding profusely from
an immense cash in his throat, which ex-
tended halfway round his neck. Medical
assistance was Immediately called, and shortly
afterward the patient was removed to the
Commercial Hospital.
He was quite weak, and unable to give
thorough account Of himself but stated that
he was on his way from his residence, in
Carthage, Hancock County, ILL.,, to visit his
mother, in Jacksonville, Floyd County, Va.
He gave no reason for his attempted self
destruction, save an invincible hatred of life
which still seems to exist. His recovery is
possible, and it is quite likely that under the
treatment of his physician he will ultimately
be fully restored.
