have the honor to report that last night
being clear, a fine display of meteors was OBJ
served by Professor Eastman and Mr.. Hori-
gan, Of this observatory. In the early eve
ming, Professor Eastman being occupied in
other duties, Mr.. Horigan observed 4S5
meteors between b. is m. and b. P. N.
From 8 b. to b. P. NJ. Professor Eastman
observed part Of the time, and 131 were seen.
After b. 100 more were seen, and at 10 P.
NJ. the display seemed to cease,
The maximum fight appears to have
been between the hours of @ b. L. m. and 8
h. 30 M, reaching an hourly rate 102 in fif-
teen mtnutes) of 400. Mr.. Horigan saw 10
before be commenced the above record,
making the whole number observed 100.
They appeared to radiate by Professor East
mans observation from space which might
be inclosed by circle 80 degrees in diane
ter, having its centre at ma Andromeda.
professor Hardness also observed, but
differs a little as to the point of radiance.
placing it about halfway between nnu and
gaunaa Andromeda. AS there was but q
single observer In the early evening, whose
attention was confined to one portion of the
heavens, there were probably four and half
times as many fell as were observed. Accord
ing to Professor Harkness's observations, the
most of the meteors werea about of the fourth
magnitude; the color, to the naked eye, was
generally faint blue, but some Of the larger
were reddish. The tracks were generally
very short, not exceeding from 4 to de-
grees. The average time of flight was
from one to two-tenths Of second.
professor Eastman succeeded in catching
the spectra Of two small ones. The first had
faint, continuous spectrum, with an excess
of yellow or greenish yellow. The second
had faint green spectrum, the first glimpse
of which appeared perfectly white. They
were both very faint, and moved rapidly.
"This display is a very remarkable one,
and exceeds that ordinarily seen on the 14th
and 10th of November. The radiant point
seems to indicate that they are moving in the
orbit of Biela's comet"

DIE OF TIE UIsEAsE.-[From the Louisville
Courier-Journai, November II. l-Charles E..
Hulse, Of Jcllcl souyiile, died i'll New Albany
on Sunday morning OF continent smallpox
after an illness OF eleven days. The cigcun!-
stances attending his sickness and death arc
at once sud and romantic. He was engaged

lady living III New Albany. the marriage

chill setting in with the disease, she died.
During Ter sickness, notwithstanding its
contagious and fatal character, Mr.. Hulse
was constant in his attendance at her bed
side, caring tcnderly for her. His devotion
produced the result which he could not but
have anticipated. A short week after Miss
M,lc,'s death Mr.. Hulsc was prostrated with
the same disease. His grief at the loss OF
his bctIotIed had rendered him indifferent
to the result, and indeed he made up his
mind to die from the beginning of his i'll
ness, telling several of his friends, and
writing TO his relatives, that he would not
and did not care 10 recover, and begging
them not to jeopardizc their lives by coming
to see him.

TIE FIRE CYCLoNE-PHENoMENA NOTICED
BY TIE WEATHER SIGNAL OrFICER.-The Of
fcer of the Signal Service stationed at Boston
reports us follows to the chief signal officer
ut Washington:
Generdl,-In reply to your Geographic
dispatch received this morning directing me
to make q full report Of the metcoric phe-
nomena attending the recent great fire |
would respectfully say that the wind at this
station during the progress Of the fire varied
from nortli.northweSt to north with Yelo-
city of from five to nine miles per hour, the
weather being then cool and pleasant. On
approaching the tire on the north or wind
IiWard side US close as the heat would allow
the indraught Of air through the burning
streets assumed the character of Il brisk wind
probably sixteen or eighteen miles per hour
while the heat was so intense as to cause
| smoke, steam, ETC., TO be carried upin spir1sls
| to d great elevation. On the south or lee
! side induced currents Of air were very
strong, probably thirty or ihirty-fvc miles
per hour, carrying tire bodily to windward
This state of affairs appears to lie the re-
verse of the Chicago fire, where the strength
| of the wind WAS sufficient to overcome tile
! induced currents, and the fire burned to The
| IeeWard. 1t appears rs il the high wind
permitted the indraught to rise ata consider
| able angle q. ter reaching the fire, leaving {
| large space of highly ra,'tjad air IL its front
| Inducing stronger currents to ilowia, Which,
meeting the indraught, gave asliral or"hiEl
| wind form to the ascending current. Dur
| ing the fire flock o. ducks passed at great
| height overhead, and the tight reflected from
their pumage made them appear as fre-ball;
passing rapidly through the all. Many who
saw them called them mctcors, and llkeneG
| them to balls of lire said to have been seer
in the Northwest during the great fires IL
that region. AS an example of the srea
heat diftused would state that during TIT
night i exposed thermometer in the obser
yatory to the full glare of the fire, when j
rose nearly five degrees, although placed UP
ward of 1000 feet from tie burning distric
and dead TO windward of it. No other phe
nomena occurred, the barometer risins
slightly and the weather unchanged"

RESCUED FROM TIE FLAMEs-A FORGOTTEN
BABy.-Mention has been made in our dis.
patches Of the rescue of the family of Richard
Warren from the building No. 100 Broad
| way, New York, which was burned Thurs.
day morning about 9 O'Clock. The New
York Times gives the following interesting
particulars: ttE+
"This family consists of Mrs. Sarah War
rem, aged siXty-fve; her son Richard War.
rem, aged thirty-seven; his wife Bridget,
aged twenty-five, aud their children,
Thomas, aged seven years; John, aged FIVE
years; Ann, aged TIVE years, and Richard,
aged two weeks. All these persons were
removed in safety by the police and num-
Der of citizens who volunteered to assist
them. In the excitement and confusion the
| infant last named was abandoned by its rela-
| tircs and was not missed until the family
had reached the street. Its absence being
noticed; occasioned much distress, and 1t was
feared that the child must perish in the
flames, rs the task of entering the building
was at that tine was one Of great difficulty
| and absolute danger. Is
"Otlicer O'Rcilly, Of the Fifteenth pre-
cinct, upon learning that the infant still re-
manned in the building, without moments
hesitation and at the risk of his life rushed
into the building, and after few moments
| delay, during which the crowd which had
gathered about the scene almost held their
brcaths, he emerged with the infant and
| placed it in its mother arms. A cheer rang
upon the night air which could be heard
| above the din of the fire and the humping of
| the engines. O'Reilly was nearly chokcd
| wth tue smoke While making his way
through The burning building. Officer VIII
son, of the Fifteenth precinct, rescued Mrs
Frances Bailey, aged sixteen, whom he
found asleep in bedroom on the top floor

Mr. Greeley's Life Insured.

The New York Sun says:
MANY years ago the Tribune Association,
torcSeeing the shock which Mr. Greeley's
death would give the Tribune, insured his
lie 10 the amount of 100000 for the benefit
OF the stockholders in common. This life
insurance policy has been kept good. At
the time of eilccting The Insurance the 1fa-
tunes stock was changing hands at from
$500 to $4,000 share, showing the total
valuation Of tue institution TO have been
from $4,000 to 100000. One hundred
thousand dollars was then viewed is very
moderate estimate OF the pecunlary loss
which the Tribune would sustain in the
death Of Horace Greeley; but the chances OF
that dire calamity 10 the tribune seemed SO
remote that no motion WAC made to increase
the life insurance, not even after the hum
dred shares which represent the entire 1rs-
buIe Association lad risen to S!o,oVo each.
Some OF tue Irt6une'S stock was recently
sold at Il smaller figure, but tie stockholders
still estimate the entire property ut fouha
million.
In the death Of Mr. Greeley the Tribune
stockholders vii! sustain al irreparable loss,
compared with which 100000 is mere
baGulclic."
