A New Comet.

A decidedly new sensation is promised
us on the 18th of next August. The
famous NJ. Plantamour, professor of as
tronomy at Geneva, has discovered a
new comet which, it is declared, exceeds
in size any similar meteor hitherto
known OF. By the elaborate calcula-
tions of this learned observer, the new
comet is darting directly toward our
globe with prodigious velocity, and will
come into collision with it on the 10Th
Of August, as aforesaid. The approach
of this terrible object will be heralded
by an extra rdinary degree of heat !;
and the catastrophe cannot possibly be
avoided unless by detection, not now
to be proGnosticated, be produced by
the comet impinglng on the attractive
scope of some other heavenly body.
We believe that this alarming prophecy
correspOndS with one of DR.. Cumming 5
more recent announcements and, II
so, science and religion-or one eccen-
trio representative OF twill tor once
and unequivocally be in accord. The
inhabitants of the earth will have at
least this consolation, that after the
Plantamour comet comes within the
range of telescope observation, and
becomes visible to the naked eye, there
will yet be long time for them to set
their houses in order and prepare for
the " "etelnal smash thatmust ensue.-

Cut them into thin slices, and while
hot, serve with butter, pepper, salt and

family. If served cold, slice lengthwise
and lay in cold vinegar.
