The CoMET.-One of our scientific exchanges
has the following in regard to the comet, which
applies exact that we prefer to copy especi-
ally as IT is supposed to know so much more
about comets than we do. 1.-THE comet
may now be seen by the naked eye. in the north
ern part Of the heavens, short distance below
and to the west of the North Star. 1t is moving
almost directly towards the sun, and will pass so
near the earth as to form most brilliant object
in the heavens. IT will reach its nearest approach
to the earth about the first of August when it will
be seen in the west only for short time after
the setting sun. As its motion is rapidly increas-
ing, with its approach to the sun, it will from
this time until it reaches its p rihelion (nearest
to the sun), increase very rapidly in briliancy.
Still another comet is announced. 1t is said that
Rev. r, B. Fairbairn, D. D., Warden Of ST. Ste
phens's College, at Anandale, has discovered
mother comet, in the vicinity of Jupiter. So it
is possible that we may soon be treated to the
ARE sight of two comets in the heaveus at one
and the same time "

THAT HAT. The following little story which
so aptly relates the misfortunes of Mr.. Cooley,
will be found as interesting to our readers as
though it really happened in Auburn. and the
names used here were not fictitious. The only
difference is the people will not know the man,
and will therefore be deprived of the pleasure
of laughing at him for being so unfortunate.
When Mr.. Cooley came into church last Sunday,
he placed his new high hat Just outside the pew
in the aisle, Presently Mrs. Pitman entered,
and as she proceeded up the aisle, her abound
ing skirts scooped Cooley's hat and rolled it up
nearly to the pulpit. Cooley pursued his hat
with feelings Of indignation, aand when Mrs.
Pitman took her seat he walked back, brushing
Mrs. Hopkins skirt struck it, and swept il along
about twenty feet, and left it lying the carpet
n demoralized condition. Cooley was sing
.ng a hymn at the time, and didn't miss it.
But moment later, when he looked over the
end of the pew to see if it was safe he was furi-
GUS to perceive that it was gone. He skirmished
up the aisle after it again, red in the face, and
uttering sentences which were horribly out OF
place in the sanctuary. However, he put the
hat down again, anu determined 10 keep his eye
on it; but just as he turned his head for a mo-
ment, Mrs. Smiley came in and Cooley turned
around only in time to watch the hat being
gathered in under Mr.. Smiley's skirts, and car
ried away by them. He started in pursuit, and
Just as he did so the hat must have rolled against
Mrs. Smley's ankles, for she gave jump and
screamed out in church. When her husband
asked her what was the matter, she said there
must be dog under her dress, and she gave
her skirts twist Out rolled Cooley's hat. and
Mr. Smiley being very near-sighted thought it
was dog, and Immediately kicked it SO savage
ly TINT it few up into the gallery and lodged on
top Of the organ. Cooley, frantic with rage,
forgot where he was, and holding his elenched
fist under Smileys nose, he shrieked;
II have half mind to bust you over the
snootr'
Then he flung down his hymn book and
rushed from the church. He went home bare
headed, and the sexton brought his humiliating
hat around after dinner. The last heard from
Cooley he talking CT joining the quakers,
so he can say his prayers with his hat on his
head.
