For the past six weeks large number of
meteors have been noticed at night; and.
this brings to mind the fact that the day
upon which the most famous showers OF
this astronomical mystery have occurred is
at hand. The night Of the twelfth, or
morning of the thirteenth, Of this month, !,
between the hour of three and day is the
time at which these famous phenomena
occurred, and as this fall has been very
warm and late, if we should have cold
weather about that date the conditions for
repetition of it will be favorable. The
chances for it are good enough at least to
Justify young men in calling upon their
sweethearts at that time.
