A C;LIAPsE OF THE AUgoRA.-IIast night at about
20 minutes to IL o'clock, the telegraph rang the
fire bells, the alarm coming from Station 3, in Fire
District 8--Phnnix No. SIS engine house on Vic
tory street.
The firemen turned ont and had useless run, in
the direction Of the north pole. subsequently 1T
was reported that the lightwas caused by prairie
on fire.
As We saw the light, an Opaque blood.red flush,
covering large part of the armament due north;
the lake is north of us; as there is no prairie
between the city and the lake as the light of
burning prairie on the north side Of the lake could
not possibly be visible here as the light of burn
ing prairie cannot be transparent red on per-
fectly clear night and as the red flush passed
slowly to the northwest, and gradually disap-
peared before the light Of the rising moon-we rec
ognzed in it glimpse of our sublime and beauti-
ful old friend, the aurora borealis.
LOUISIANA FooT RIFLEs.-We are indebted to
the officers of the Second Company Louisiana
Foot Rifles for polite invitation to be present at
the anniversary of the fete-day of their gallant
Second Lieutenant, Mr. r. Painpare, to take place
on Tuesday next. We shall take much pleasure in
honoring this invitation.
The BREcKNRIBGE MASS MEETISG.-We were
unable to attend the mass meeting at Annuncia-
ton Square last night. but if the forlorn hope of
procession we saw was any indication the meet
ing couldn't have been much. Counting the 800
men, boys and niggers in the procession, at 81 for
each, (the Deltafs style Of counting its partys
processons) there were at least three thousand in
said procession. Breck is sure to break badly in
New Orleans, at this rate.
BURIAL OF MIR. BoIRoN.-Ihe singular circum-
stances, or appearances, connected with the death
OF Mr. D. b. Boron, which we mentioned yester-
day. found their solution in the certainty of death
late on Wednesday. The evidences of decompo
sition became manifested, and The body was buried
yesterday morning. Mr.. Boron well-known
citizen, in the prime of life; quiet, unobtrusive
gentlemanly, much esteemed by the large circle OF
his acquaintanees. He was native of France
and leaves family to mourn his untimely
decease.
