most recent years. The earth arrived In the
Longitude of the node ABOUT midnight on the
9th ult., and IL this position is only 10000
miles or less than twice the moons distance,
from the comets track. Even II less frequent
than in several past years, considerable num-

ON the latter night co aspicaous Aurora Bore
