prediction of that Swiss astronomer that
comet would destroy this earth on Monday,
but we apprchcnd that their number
was comparatively small, aud that they
had little of Importance to occupy their

almost disposed to growl that the event
did not transpire, but their growing is
moderated somewhat by The reflection that
for obvious reasons they could not have
made much of sensation over IL Many,
doubtless, regret the failure for other

Thursday in the Board of Trade. Rooms

90 secure goOd and competent men for city
" officers" The names Of the gentlemen
to whom invitations were sent were APP
pended. The proceedings Of the meeting
are published elsewhere from which it,
will bc seen that It was determined that it
is eNpedirnt to make an effort to secure the
nomination Of good men for Council, and
a public meeting rs called for the purpose.
The call bore evidence on its face that
the meeting last night was an entirely
private one not for the purpose of "setting
things up" nor to force anything on the
public, hut merely to ascertain whether
enough of the gentlemen invited felt sulli
cicut interest ia the matter 10 ettempt
tu bring it before the public
There was nothing unusual on remarkable
in the issuing of such call AS prelimi-
mary Ia public meeting for no one not
gifted with the self confidence of GcOTgo
