AURORA BoREALIs. For several nights
recently, light has been noticed in a
Northerly direction from this city, and it
was generally supposed to have been
caused by fire in the woods: but from
statements published in the Lynchburg
(Va.) papers, we suppose it must be the
veritable aurora. The Ne,cs thus speaks
Of it:
''About midnight, the Northwestern
horizon was illuminated with a hazy
yellow cloud, Of deep color, towards the
horizon, and growing, lighter as it neared
h the upper Pr edge, the sky presenting some
the upper part OF the cloud brilliant
streams Of light shot up in columnar form.
changing in color and intensity until reach
ing the zenith, where they divided and
crossed each other, presenting the appear
ance of waves of light The phenomena
was Of remarkable character, on account
Of the number of columns or streams of
light which flashed from the horizon at the
same time. 1t is very rarely that over FIVE
columns are witnessed, but on this occa-
sion sheets of light shot simultaneously
from the North, Northwest and North
eastern horizon, to the number Of eight or
ten, assuming every imaginable shape"
Keep lookout. 1t may be sight well
worth beholding.
