MetcOrs Expected.

Prof Proctor, the English astronomer, in
the course of his second lecture at New York,
last Thursday, predicted that very brilliant
display of meteors would be witnessed on the
night of Nov. 9th, THANKSGIVING night }
The shower will radiate, according to the
Professor. from point near the star Gamma.
in the right foot of the constellation Andro-
media. which is now nearly overhead at about
10 o'clock at night. The basis of the lectur-
ers prediction is very interesting. In the
wear 1877 it occurred to Alexander Herschel
and to Prof Proctor that at the time when
the earth crossed the path of the two frag-
ments of Biela's comet it would he well to
look out for metcors. Mcteors were looked
for, and a very brilliant display was seen on
Nov. 81. German astronomer was so sure
that this display was caused by the earth
meeting the fragments of the missing comets
that he telegraphed to an observer stationed
in the southern hemisphere. "Biela touched
the earth Nov. ~. Look out for it in the
opposite quarter" The astronomer looked
in the direction indicated. and saw patch
of light like cloudlet of little stars, moving
rapidly across the heavens. 1t sped on un-
til it disappeared. 1t had come rushing out
of the north and disappeared in the south.
Prof Proctor thinks that the great mass of
the dissipated comet did not meet the earth.
but it passed so close that the outlying parts
of the cluster touched the earth. On next
Thanksgiving night this swarm of flying
meteors will again come flying out of the
northern heavens. and Prof. Proctor predicts
that then there will be a brilliant display in
the sky. 1t may not happen, he said, because
perhaps the meteoric cluster may have been

tronomers to keep lookout for about a week
previous to the 9th inst, in that quarter of
the heavens from which the metcors approach
in order, if possible to detect the cluster as
it rushes end-on toward the earth.

Glue is rather scarce, and has advanced

and dealers have light stocks.

A Correction Needed.

The Argus comments on the following Ian
guage which it saws Gov. Garcelon used in

when the republicans interested would have

corrections allowed by statute, and be heard
on allegations of defective returns -

the position of those you name should en-
gage in such a proceeding. can but con-
slider the shole exhibition here this af-
ternoon most disgracetul affair. In
regard TO the counting out, of which
we have heard much, | cannot
conceive how you shonld have arrived at
such conclusion. unless it was your guilty
conscience that prompted the idea. Certain
" the Governor and Council have no pur-
pose to do anything but what the law makes
it imperative upon them to do"
If Gov Garcelon made use of the language
imputed to him by the Argus, to gentlemen
who called to see HIM on appropriate and i'm
portant business, we submit that it would not
be a subject for jubilant commentator, but
stern disapproval But we are happy on the
best authority to say that this paragraph mis-
represents the Governor. Not single sem
tence in it fairly represents what the Govern
or said; and the sentence 81 cannot conceive
how YOU should have arrived at such a con-
clnsion, unless it was your guilty conscience
that prompted the idea" is a pure invention.
Nothing was uttered that could give the least
foundation for it. On the contrary the Gov
ernor on being informed ofthe object of the
call not only assented to the propriety of the
inquiries, but promptly furnished the in
formation desired, and gave the assurances
requested.
